What I was talking about with realistic looking drawings under my eye drawing is the reason I drew this. I wanted to work on my realism and being able to include shadows and highlights of the face. I always decide to use myself as inspiration because I have the most photos of myself, I know what I look like best, and if I mess up, I am only messing up myself and no one else. I wanted to work on being more realistic and use blending and I liked the idea of mixing pretty pink princesses with something darker and more gothic. So, the idea of a realistic gothic princess sketch was born.
