Christina Ricci Pencil Portrait Drawing

This is supposed to be Christina Ricci. I think she is not so recognizable but I liked the portrait. When I did the scan I erased her left earlobe accidentally.. I will do a new scan someday - just wanted to post it now. I tried a new method where I used graphite powder and brush along with my pencils.

Two pen & ink drawings

Marilyn Monroe

Olivia Wilde

These are two pen & ink drawings of mine. They were both just for practicing drawing with pens.

Practicing hair drawing

I practiced drawing hair a lot the last week. Here are the results. ;) I'm quite happy with the last pic. It's actually from an ad for a hair shampoo and I didn't know how to draw it at first sight but my teacher at the art seminar I'm taking gave me a pretty good advice on how to tackle hairs. All done with pencil.

Eye

Just practicing with my colored pencils.

Lion with Pastels

This lion is done with pastel pencils (after Colin Bradley, I learned so much from this guy).

Prismacolor Colored Pencils and first portrait

My Set of 132 Prismacolor Colored Pencils has arrived - only 12 days shipping from US - yeah!

And this is the first portrait I did with them. As you can see it needs a lot more practice! It's supposed to be Scarlett Johansson.

Natalie Portman

This is my first portrait of Natalie Portman. It's done with graphite pencils on bristol paper - and yes this paper makes all the difference. ;-)
