My second influential artist is Kate Zambrano, she creates fantasy style images using pencils and other materials to give her artworks sometimes a soft appearance and others a hard line.
The shadows and highlights are the things I like in this image, they prevent the image from feeling flat and bring out the 3D aspects of the painting, it has a more photographic feel to it.
I like this image especially because it looks unfinished but complete at the same time, its rough and the negative space fits very well alongside the pencil textures. I like how she has used the paper as part of the image rather than using heavy shading and highlights to accentuate the facial structure.
I like the colours and the overall look of this image, I'm drawn to it because of the fantasy/fiction aspect, the eye style is something I love adding to my own works. I like the emotion she has captured in the image, I feel the contrast in the background has made the highlighted part stand out more and has helped the overall image.
