NO MORE REDHEADS FOR ME!
My ex-wife is a red-head and my current wife is a red-head.
I have since vowed to never again involve myself with red-heads.
They're the devil.

You know, you don't even have to read to find out. There is a video you can watch. Thhey tell you who she is.

I read the article. It didn't give her name. If the video gives her name, that's great. Maybe you'd like to share it?

edit: Now, to make you happy, I have watched video. Guess what. It didn't give her name either. Also, my Google-fu has failed me. I've been able to find the name of the photographer, but not the model. I did more pics, though.

edit 2: Aha! Her name is Любовь Ансимова, which Google tells me translated to Love Ansimov

 I actually do know how to get the same kinds of shading and colors he does using ballpoint pens, but the amount of work involved is completely   insane, and this comes from a guy who spends two weeks painting a half-inch-long dragon, lol.

It shouldn't take that long to put on a rubber.

What I'm curious about is the real dimensions of the art.  They tell the media, the time taken, but not the size of the art.

Redhead Girl - Ballpoint Pen on paper.

Reference photo by Russian photographer: Кристина Тарарина
Russian Top Model's name: Любовь Ансимова

Red hair, also called ginger hair occurs naturally on approximately 1–2% of the human population. It occurs more frequently (2–6%) in people of northern or western European ancestry, and less frequently in other populations. Red hair appears in people with two copies of a recessive gene on chromosome 16 which causes a mutation in the MC1R protein.

Took aprox. 30 hours to finish. Lost about 20% quality during scanning.

The size is 8" x 9" or 22,5cm x 20cm.



Holycrap I just realized I could have just gone to his DA page to find the girl's name. Lack of sleep 4tl.

Original size 8x9?

Okay, now I'm impressed.  I figured it was a much larger size (which would make it easier to get that kind of crosshatching and detail when shrunk down).
