I love this. I've been looking for a nice set of pencils, could you tell me the brand you used?

Ladowska In reply to Bobbi-B [2013-04-09 07:46:23 +0000 UTC]

i use in general only two to three pencils: all are mechanical -
1st: 0.5mm B
2nd: 0.5mm 2B
3rd: 0.3mm HB
they have no brand at all, pencil is a pencil...

Thanks. And wasn't sure because there's brands such as dewerent, prisma color, general's, kimberly's.... and on and on. I just wanted to know what works for you.

scarletwave [2011-12-31 22:33:26 +0000 UTC]

This is, as usual, more than perfect. Wouldn't change a thing. I thought you had her name wrong at first because in America we call her Norma Jeane. Oops. Sorry about that. My mistake. You know who I never see drawn and is just my favourite actress from that era and a little before: Ingrid Bergman. I would love to see a drawing of her. No one draws her. And she was absolutely exquisite . No one else really has a classic look like hers.

lmao

Bye Doll!!

Please take special care of yourself this upcoming year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Bleich-Gesicht [2011-12-11 18:09:42 +0000 UTC]

Woah. This is an OUTSTANDING job. I couldn't -and I still sort of can't- believe it's a drawing instead of a photo. The thing that gives it away is the shading of her arm -that comparing to the rest of the picture is the lest ..blurred-

The contrast. Good god! this is simply gorgeous. The hair is just..amazing!
