Description Oh dear. Drawing Angelina was a *bad* idea. It made me want to play a bit more. And now I'm going to be spamming my gallery with random portraits if I'm not careful.

Mechanical pencil, colour tints (ochre, bordeaux red, dark carmine, venetian red, brown umber, ivory black). About an hour's work I guess.

P.S. after looking at it more, I need to do something with the empty areas by her chin. Stick some hair there or something. Anyway, thats for tomorrow I think (look out for the edited version )

I think Bellucci is far more beautiful than Jolie anyway, and this is nicely done.

This is awesome! I'm pleased to see another realistic portrait in your gallery. You might want to start experimenting with this realistic style in other pictures where you have figures.

Nice portrait! Maybe some curve to the cracks in her lips would make them seem more full of whatever she put in there.

you're right .... I love drawing eyes and the outlines of faces, but by the time I get to the lips, I'm usually pretty bored and they get sketched in really rapidly. And also, I find lips really really hard to get right ...

mmmmm I think I do as well! Drawing Angelina was a little nerve-wrecking cos I hadn't draw any portraits for *years*. Monica was more "hey I can do this, chill ..."
