I used to sketch quite often and I loved doing portraits. I had done a few of these with wire and when the last one sold I thought to do another piece like this. However I had a new plasma-cutter and I decided to try to draw with that and see how fine I could get it. I was looking on Instagram and found a nice pose of a girl and thought I could redraw that first of all in the sketch book and then see what I could do with the plasma-cutter.
