Description Finally! Something uploaded, first drawing in 2 months (sorry), been soo busy with uni etc.

I'm quite happy with this, but it did take a lot of adjustment that had to be done to make it look like the actual thing irl, especially the eyes and colours. Grrrrr.
Also, I really overdid the amount of pencil, which has made the paper all crinkly, hence scan crappily (similar to the last pete one I did) but grrr.

Despite all this, it was fun to do lol.

Oh yeah, its Lauren Laverne, XFM dj and previously lead singer of the band Kenickie.

o.O You never fail to amaze me with your color pencil skills! This sounds kind of stupid but...what type of color pencil do you use? PRANG? Prismacolor? Or the cheapo Crayola kind?

No lol loads of people ask me, they don't sell prismacolour in the UK and I use Caran D'Ache, which I have no clue if they sell anywhere outside europe.

what kind of paper do you use?

Bitterkawaii In reply to mycat-theastronaut [2007-06-19 17:14:10 +0000 UTC]

really rubbish stuff from WH smiths in a pad with a ring binder. Bought for the ring binder, not for the paper quality, which is stupid.

Great! You've captured her cheekiness well.
And your use of colour is brilliant.

haha, thanks. I saw the pic in the radio times and thought I've never ever seen a portrait of her, so it'd be fun lol.

It certainly is a rare choice, but inspired. There are millions of images of certain people here, (I'm as guilty as the next) but a fresh face is certainly a joy!
