It all started with me fooling with the paper. That's why her left side is missing. =) I was tired of the strict youthful beauty standard, so I decided to make her a little older. She appears sullen, and I like it. Her hair is an experiment of mine with different shades of... well, of hair. Her enchanted earring is a tiny dancer. Her eyes look old and tired -- tired of having visions about the tragic future events she cannot reveal. I know there are many flaws here, but it was fun and enlightening to draw. =)
 
3B pencil on paper, color added with Photoshop.

This is amazing. Love the eye, hair, ears and earring, oh wait, thats everything. Hehe *blush*

:-) Amanda Kümmel Magalhães replies: "Thank you! That's very kind of you. I'm glad you liked it. She is a bit sketchy (took a few minutes), but this is still one of my most commented ones, I don't know why..."

Wow, amazing piece. I really like it, a welcome change from the utterly perfect youthful stereo type elves. Very misterious, and I like the half face thing, very intersting. Her earing is also intriging, looks sort of magical somehow.

:-) Amanda Kümmel Magalhães replies: "Thank you, that's exactly what I had in mind!"

This is way good! The way you do the ears - it's amazing! I wish I had pointy ears. . .

:-) Amanda Kümmel Magalhães replies: "Me too =/ Thank you for your comment!"

What a beautiful piece! I esp. like the small detail added with the earring! I dunno why...it just caught my attention.

:-) Amanda Kümmel Magalhães replies: "Thank you!"

This is truly a beautiful piece of work. I wish I could create things with simple pencil and paper of this magnitude. The detail of the earring is incredible and her eyes are so lifelike.

:-) Amanda Kümmel Magalhães replies: "This is one of my most commented pieces, which intrigues me, because it was so spontaneous and gave me no trouble at all... Thank you so much for your kind words!"

I like all your pics, because they are in a style like my pictures. This one I like so much, it´s just perfect art, every line is just perfect... Thank you for drawing this!!!

:-) Amanda Kümmel Magalhães replies: "Thank you for your kind comment! Glad you think of it that way!"

I want her earring! Cool hair-style, unusual in an elf!

:-) Amanda Kümmel Magalhães replies: "Her hair has, ummm, magical highlights and lowlights. That earring sure is nice! My precioussssss..."

My gosh, I love this, the realism and details are gorgeous! I can never get my pics to look this way... kudos to you!

:-) Amanda Kümmel Magalhães replies: "Thank you so much! This was my first attempt at a 'realistic' face, with lines around the eyes, wrinkles on the lips etc. It was actually only a study on facial features and hair."

That is just beautiful work. I love her strong and dignified expression, and her beautiful earring and ear. Great work!

:-) Amanda Kümmel Magalhães replies: "Thank you so much! I tried to give the impression of wisdom and the sadness of not being able to change what she foresees. I'm glad something came accross!"

her eyes dont appear old and tired to me...more like all seeing and somewhat far away like due to her seer powers...She is soooo fantastic her hair.. well let's just say your experiment was a success... and the earring???? I want a pair of them!!!!
