Right now, I find myself in a place with very dry air and I think that's something that has assisted me a little bit in achieving this smoothness.
For this first drawing, the words "Terráqueo Facial" work as a title of sorts. Looking at her there's something of a globe, with the landscapes and divisions, so her face reminds me of a globe.
This second one started out as a note for a dream that I remembered, it had none of the swirls, no facial features, no mouth, no nose. I just wanted to recreate the pose in the dream and something specific that was happening and once that was out of my head, I decided to make her into almost exactly what you see here, specially the swirly things on her hair.
To me, she's kind of an illustration of a story. Or like the when the first letter of a story that is very ornately illustrated and decorated, or a mixture of both.
Also, something of an update on my page in Facebook, I have now made the handle into this: www.facebook.com/ArteGabrielaHandal, so now it's even easier to share! So, don't you forget to like it and share it with your friends: Gabriela Handal Arte
