As you can see, I finished drawing Sarah Kelly last night. I'm pretty proud of it. :) I had to improvise on much of the hair, and practically the entire torso. I seem to be much better at drawing hair and torsoes from my head than I am at drawing hands. I hope to enter this one in the fair... I need to get entry forms soon since entries are due June 21st.
This was sketched intensively in graphite pencil, then finished in 2b, 4b and 6b charcoal pencils, with a kneaded rubber eraser for highlights and an eyeshadow foam brush thingie for blending, on Strathmore charcoal paper. I'm not sure how long I spent on this... but it took longer than most of my other drawings have. Probably close to 6 or 7 hours. And, of course, I was looking at this photo.
Next: Thanks to a comment left by essius on a previous post, I now want to draw Avril Lavigne. Hopefully I can find a good photo of her to use. :)
