Description
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 don't get how you can draw the hair so good, it may be a stupid question but how do you do it? the light areas for example, i never get them right..

I noticed that you draw teeth amazingly. They have that glare of wetness, but they are also drawn, and shaded, very well.

Wow, you did one hell of a job here, Brian.
Her lips and teeth are wicked!: nod:
Don't you ever rest??

I love how the teeth turned out. Fifteen hours? that's fast. I went from 8-10 per pic to past 20 on my next drawing. Hopefully I'll post that soon. But I always love looking at your work. You never cease to amaze me. I hope you get better soon as well.

Like everyone else has said, the teeth look amazing. And as always, I'm amazed at your ability to draw hair.

You always manage to bring the people you draw alive!
I looked at some of your old work from 2004... omg! you have improved dramatically! and in such a short time!
I love her teeth and lips btw... teeth are the hardest thing to do for me... but well done!

Yes, that is a beautiful work. You have done a great job and the contrast between the hair and the face is great.
Excellent job

PERFECT Brian....THIS IS EASILY YOUR BEST DRAWING YET!!!! This came out even better than I hoped it would! "instant fav".
You did a supurb job on her teeth, gradually getting darker as they approach the corners of her mouth ( something many artists forget to do).
Also her smooth skin tines are "TOP SHELF".... Man, What a great drawing!!!

O.o you're drawings are rilly improving. i always think they just can't become more realistic...and still they always do +fav
π: 0 β©: 0
It's wonderful! I agree with you, Brian... this is one of the most realistic drawings to date. The teeth, the eyes, well everything. You are a great artist, and i really like to see in my messages ...... by golfiscool, it means that i will see another great drawing (even if it is a WIP).

Very nice, you're moving alot faster than I ever could. Ever thought of tackling someone like Richard Simmons?
π: 0 β©: 1
Richard Simmons?!! Naw, I haven't though about tackling him but he's probably thought about tackling me

LOL I wanna see you do something really difficult, think of it as a challange, I'll do one too, just name it. You should draw... George Carlin?

i meant to say "..i love the hair and the eyes!" hehehe

I can't believe you did that in only 15 hours. That's quite amazing! Kudos!

good grief. its absoluetly beautiful bro. the lips are so lucious. i can almost touch them and feel the dampness. the shadows on her face are no less than perfect. its so smooth. im trying to look for pencil strokes but, im failing horribly. i really look up to you man. its outstanding. her eyes are so deep, i keep expecting to see myself in them looking back. 's one of my favs.
