A guardian angel? After all, those eyes would never close.

But what angel would have a black halo?

Medium: prismacolor pencils on black paper

Excellent detail on the wings (must have taken awhile) and especially on the fingers of her right hand - great attention to detail on that hand.

:-) Rachel Day replies: "The wings definitely took the longest. The right hand, however, came really quickly, and I'm sure I could never do it that well again. Thanks for the comment."

Neat... I want Prismacolour. And black paper. It looks so fun.

:-) Rachel Day replies: "It's definitely fun, though I still find it pretty difficult. You basically have to flipflop every shading rule you're used to, so you end up drawing much less than you would on white paper."

AWESOME pic! Beautiful, detailed wings and a neat ide to use black paper to give shadow where you don’t put colour...GREAT!
