Description
It's been a while since I've posted a movie star portrait, so here you are, all you lovely people watching me just for them. Sorry I don't do many of them these days, technically I'm a children's illustrator, not a portraitist! I hope you like this one!
Head over to my blog for progress photos, and a video of me drawing her eye!Medium: Graphite. There's a list of the materials I use for pencil portraiture in the 'Tutorials' section of my gallery.
Size: A little under A3
Time Taken: 17 hours

I just did a specific Kim Novak search and came across this. You have done her great Honor. I fell in love with her when I was like 10 and saw her in the 1958 Bell, Book and Candle. I truly believed that Marilyn had nothing up on her.

Thank you! Like Marilyn, she's quite hard to draw, so I'm glad you think I did such a good job!

Thank you so much, Alene. You know I love these things!! Kim Novak2 is even better than your first... and my personal favourite is Lauren Bacall.
You're so good, bravo!
One day, would you consider drawing me a Mary Pickford?

Thanks so much! I don't do a lot of star portraits these days, usually only for portraiture demonstrations, but you never know, a photo of Mary Pickford might catch my eye and encourage me to draw her for one of them!

This is so beautifully drawn. I love how you've tackled the challenge of blonde hair! Well done!

Thank you so much! I don't think I could face blonde hair if I didn't have my trusty electric eraser, it's a complete life-saver (and sanity-saver)!
