Description
Julia Roberts in a nice fuzzy sweater. Done in graphite, 8.5x11 hp printer paper, with photo reference. It took about 4 days working on and off, which is a lot longer that I thought it would take. It isn't exactly the masterpiece I've been trying to find, but I guess it'll do for now. I have been trying some different things in color that didn't work,so I guess I'm stuck back here in world of black and white. Anyways, tell me what you think, and I'll try to do better next time.oh, and sorry to that guy that hates Julia Roberts, i think it was siedr or something like that.

This picture is beautiful. The detail is incredible, and the face is perfectly captured in your interpretation. Thank you for your artwork.

Wow, wow, wow! I still can't believe that all of this (entire gallery) was done by hand! I only allow myself to fav two things in the beginning or my pages would overflow, but I must say that it was quite a challenge choosing. This one, however, just knocks me over; not only does Julia look great, but that sweater is coma inducing.
Though I didn't fav it, I'd have to say that the one of Nichole looking over her sholder is my third... that hair is awsome. I have no idea where you stock-pile all of your patience, mine would have flown out the window and left me for dead.
Anyway, what I'm saying is, you've got talent to spare and enough modesty to kill a cow, so I'm going to go before I embarrass myself any further.

This is beautiful. I had to full view before I could tell it wasn't a photo. Amazing. Especially with her eyes, they look so real. And the texture on the sweater. You are an amazing artist, amazing.

Holy freakin' crap. I would have went insane on that sweater.

great work - you must be a sucker for punishment picking that jumper to put her in - such a lot of detail, and so very well done - and you've captured her; her essence, spirit, what we all see when we look at her - a very, very hard thing to do. It's easy to get that likeness, but damned near impossible to capture what makes them....them
makes sence???
anyway.....

This is so beautiful. The shading looks so convincing and real, and I cannot get over that sweater. I don't suppose you'd be willing to share how you did it exactly, would you?
Anyway, awesome work, and a definite

sure I'll share what I can remember. Mostly I've tried to repress the memories
Well, when I start I always try to follow the reference, which is impossible (unless you're nimra)
but the point is that I try. After about 10-20 minutes of trying, my hands ache and my eyes
get red, (actually I just get really really lazy). Anyways, the point is, by this time I have figured
out the pattern of the texture of the sweater, I don't really need to look at the reference. Other than the most obvious folds and creases in the sweater, I just kinda fill in the pattern. The soft indents, valleys or mountains, in the clothing can be added later in a layer of shading, which works surprisingly well, some people shade it before the texture which is fine I guess, but I tend to
smudge them way too much so I do it after. Anyways, thats what I remember. I hope it helps.
Thanks for the comments and the favs.

not a huge fan of julia's,...(as if she cares, right? heh.)
but this is an awesome render of her. that textured detailing in the sweater
is suhweet.
and something else i'm 'seeing' about your work is that your drawings seem
exude a certain quality about them,...an intangible it's hard to put my finger on,...
it's a 'feeling',...as in this one, you can really 'feel' her smile,...not just 'see' a
coolaZZ sketch of it.
nice work.

wow....just wow....
i've looked at everything in your gallery....and i've found myself completely lost for words....
you're likely tired of the pointless comments....but i'm afraid all i can do is gush over your skill like everyone else....
i decided to comment on this one because of the sweater...i mean, her face is gorgeous, and it looks just like her....but hey, your entire gallery is equally impressive in that respect
this one really stood out because of the realism in the sweater, particularly in the sleeves....
even at full view, there are areas that i CANNOT comprehend as a sketch....it's very deceiving! it's extremely photo-like
you gallery has inspired me to pick up a pencil again and get back into drawing, in hopes that i can develop my skill to even a fraction of what you've obtained....
sorry for being so long winded....good art deserves long comments

Hey, thanks. yeah, i hated that sweater, but I'm glad I kept working on it. I'm glad I can inspire you to get drawing again, I never thought I could have that effect on people. I'm really glad that I can..
