This is a peace of art that I did in black sharpie pens.

I was just flipping through one of my moms art books and I noticed that most of the drawings where made with sort off ruffly scribbled lines. There where loops and it kinda looked messy but really good at the same time.
So I decided to draw something of my own. I started with her right eye witch is smaller than her left (oops). Then I continued. I made her eye lashes big and it reminded me off that evil lady from 1001 Dalmatians.
So I continued! Now here is what I got.

Sorry for not scanning it. I don't have one.
The camera made her hair look bad. Trust me there is allot of detail in it. XD

Enjoy!

PS
If you are asking what is that thing around her neck... Well I don't really know but, its a sort of scarf I guess.

1001 Dalmations? Dude, that's one load of dogs... it's 101 Dalmations, and the evil lady is Cruella de Vil. *pendantic idiot*

The nose and mouth look strange, and the scarfie thing is distracting, but the eyes are good, if a bit lashy. :)

WHAT?!?! I thought that this is going to be one of those artistic, sophisticated posts that require deep, artistic interpretation! :(

The best part about this picture is the smoke coming out of the cig.

Other than that, there isn't much else that catches the eye. Her scarf...I have never seen a scarf stand straight up in the air like that? Unless the wearer was falling down a very deep hole. The detail isn't great, lines are unsteady, porportions are off-eyes, eyelashes, the head in general. The nose is a little to side-seen for a frontview.

I think it's a good starter piece.

I think it's all a bit abstract and rough. I like the raggedy, messy bun she has, that gives her some real character and the cigar is pretty good but the face is much too long, the scarf thing very strange and generally your lines are too rough and the detail is very basic.

As a brief character sketch, I like the personality it shows but as a piece of art, I think you need to fix the proportions and add more detail.

Thank you all!
You all seem to complain about the scarf. Maybe she is magic? No one knows...
Well she is supposed to look like she is drawn very basic it was the style I was trying to make it in... XD (If that makes any sense)
Thanks for all your comments but I can't really do anything about her now she is in sharpie...
SHE IS ABSTRACT!
Thanks...

The chin, face and nose are out of proportion. However, the cigar in her mouth and the way that she ties her hair does portray her character.

Cool. I loved the pipe-thingo in her mouth. It made her look so... evil. And so did the scarf thing. The only thing that stopped her from looking like a real villan was the face expression. Perhaps if she looked angry...

Either way, it's cool.

I think her bleak sort of un-amused face is evil enough for her :D
Thanks for your help! :D
  








"For a short space of time I remained at the window watching the pallid lightnings that played above Mont Blanc and listening to the rushing of the Arve, which pursued its noise way beneath. The same lulling sounds acted as a lullaby to my too keen sensations; when I placed my head upon my pillow, sleep crept over me; I felt it as it came and blessed the giver of oblivion."
