Another one completed. Thanks to everyone who commented on the WIP. I chose this picture of Shannon Elizabeth to draw because I liked the contrast between her face and hair. I thought her hair framed her face very nicely in the picture. Aslo, I don't think anyone would argue, she's absolutely gorgeous. For those of you who don't know who she is, she played "Nadia" in the "American Pie" movies. I am happy with this drawing, it might be one of my most realistic portraits to date IMO.
12"x18" Fabriano Hotpress paper
H, HB, 4B, 3B mechanical pencils
blending stumps, q-tips, and tissue for blending
15 hours
I embellished the eyes a little bit. They are darker than that in reality but I always like the translucent look of lighter eyes so I made them lighter on the bottom. Thanks.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P
