Soft Hypnosis
Hypnosis is "a trance state characterized by extreme suggestibility, relaxation and heightened imagination." It is a mental state (according to "state theory") or imaginative role-enactment (according to "non-state theory"). It is usually induced by a procedure known as a hypnotic induction, which is commonly composed of a long series of preliminary instructions and suggestions. Hypnotic suggestions may be delivered by a hypnotist in the presence of the subject, or may be self-administered ("self-suggestion" or "autosuggestion"). (from Wikipedia.com)

ImpactWhen I first caught sight of this I thought it was a black-and-white photo, which just goes to show how fantastic of an artist you are.
The hair is perfectly textured. I feel as though I can reach out and touch it, and run my fingers through it. The eyes look, well, hypnotic. They seem to tell a story, to beg the viewer to look into her soul and find something inside of her that she's been keeping hidden. Such emotion is rare to find within drawings.
The lips are sensual, their slight openness suggesting (to me) either a desire to speak or a suppressed smile, and the shading of the skin - as well as that of the blouse - is flawless. The dark/light contrast guides the eye from one point to the next and makes the drawing come together as a whole.
The only thing I can think of to criticize is the unoriginality. I've seen quite a few drawings like this - not many with the same level of realism, but many with the same concept. That said, however, this stunning piece of art holds its own, and I am delighted to have happened upon it.
