Charlene first hit the mainstream in 2011 with her cover of the song ‘Wherever you will go’ & reached an impressive peak of number 3 in the UK singles chart. Soon after she released her debut album Moonchild & is now currently on tour with Emeli Sande. Early this year Charlene released her new single ‘Ghost’ to promote her new album ‘Love is the law’ which is due out later this year.

Special thanks to Daniel Regan for his inspirational photography & allowing me to use his amazing work as reference for this drawing. [link]

That's beautiful, my friend! How'd you get the specular highlights in the hair? Are you a fan of just leaving the white areas alone (or just with less graphite), or do you like to scratch in your highlights with a blade like some people? The latter method always scared me! LOL. It's too easy to rip one's board, ya know?
Welcome to DA, by the way!
