My 3rd celebrity sketch ^^ I've always liked Rachel Weisz because of her roles in a lot of films, and of course the comical role in The Mummy is probably which people remember the most. This picture is taken from the movie "Definitely, Maybe" and I thought her hair is gorgeous.I've spent more than 3 hours just detailing the hair, which is the biggest part of the sketch I think. An hour before that for the outlines and rough details, and another hour in the end finalizing, and adding my silly touches as always. I had a lot of fun despite the time-consuming processes.
Tools used, 0.5mm and 0.7mm HB mechanical pencils, 2H and 4H wood cased pencils, and 6B pure graphite pencil, and of erasers of course! ^^
Thank you so much for all the compliments on the Panda. I'm so glad you like it, and I hope you like this one too. I'm showing the steps again.
Wonderful detailing of the hair! I really like this actress too, so I was really excited when you told me you were drawing her. A definite improvement <3
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful work and you deserve high praise, I happen to like the dress and sleeves etc included as I feel they say something about the personality of the subject.
