Challenge #14: Michael (Star Trek: Discovery)

[goss]

Title: Michael
Artist: goss
Rating: G
Fandom: Star Trek: Discovery
Characters/Pairings: Michael Burnham
Content Notes: Created for Challenge #14: Ethnic Diversity. Sketched with lead pencil in my daily planner. The page I've drawn upon is the weekend of the 3rd and 4th March, which is when I started watching Star Trek: Discovery for the first time, and ended up marathoning the ENTIRE Season 1 that weekend. *___*

For this sketch, my shading was mostly focused on capturing the contours of her facial features, but really wish I had devoted a little more time to working realistic skin tones into the sketch as well. Something to take into consideration with my next pencil portrait.

It's always interesting to see an artist I admire talk about what they wish they'd done, and then look at the art and swoon at how gorgeous it is to my eyes. She's so BEAUTIFUL!

Aww, thank you, I'm so happy that you like how she turned out. The actress is GORGEOUS OMG. ^____^

Cool. I feel like maybe I should include in my content notes both what I liked about my drawing and possible areas for improvement, because not only could that be a way to motivate myself to keep progressing, but it could also be a springboard for discussion/feedback/critique from others, which is one of those things that I love about being in an art community. :) (aargh, long sentence, sorry. /o\)
