Description

From the hauntingly beautiful photo at [link] by *xstockx

I was meaning to make a straight copy, but I messed up some of the angles and would take too much work to correct now, so I'm just leaving it as it is. I am still quite pleased with it though and this is the first time that painting (gouache) over pencil has worked for me. Normally the water just pushes the graphite around making everything blobby and streaky. I think this worked because I started painting the darkest areas first, in a small, precise way.
