Artist's Comments

I know, I know!!! Some of you were wondering if I still knew how to draw! o.O As you will learn, if you haven't already figured it out, I can get a little obsessive some times!

:flirty:

Sooooo... I finally drew another portrait... I hope you like it.

Details:

Size 9x12 in, roughly.

Paper: Strathmore 400 series Drawing
Graphite Pencils: 4B, 2B, HB, 2H
Blending: stumps, tissue, Q-tips
Time: About 5 hours
Ref pic: [link]
WIP: [link]

EDIT: The greenish hue from the scanner was driving me crazy so I converted it to b&w - it looks more like the original drawing now! :D
EDIT again: It was still bugging me because the paper looked grey, but it's white...sooo I figured out how to adjust it so it looks almost exactly like the original drawing right now. Finally. :D

Hi Natalie!

Yay! Thank you so much for getting it right! I've been staring at it for so long that I don't think it looks anything like her... but it's nice to know you could see it!

I recognized it as Natalie Portman. Her eyes were what made me recognize it. Nice work on the lips and that little shading between her nose and lips.

hah, didn't recognize it, but I'm not a big movie goer. :D
But when I first looked at it I thought it was a photo, and I had to look at it a second time before realizing it was a drawing ...
haha, great job on it! Nice to see that you DO still draw.
