As I was perusing my Facebook newsfeed I saw a link to a blog site called mymodernmet.com which apparently hosts a colllection of art based blogs. I originally went to it following a link for photos that showed a Batman figurine posed in everyday places but also found a woman who does amazing illustrations in colored pencil.


The artists name is Jennifer Healy and her work predominantly features women in fantastical situations. I really love her artwork because of her insane blending skills and the fact that her main subject matter is women. I myself really love drawing women because there's just so much easy beauty to the female form and because it's easy to show a range of emotions with the female features and figure.

 I'm attracted to this one because of the dewy skin tone of the woman, and the use of the page by the hanging knotted braid.
I really adore how this one shows her emerging from somewhere and the diagonal strip on her lip.








































I love anything that incorporates bones into a composition. 

Twists on framed portraits are also a love of mine.
