Description Charlize Theron (born August 7, 1975)

I originally drew this for a competition, it was fun to draw and was a little bit of a landmark for me so to speak as I actually was quite pleased with the hair...which I usually hate.

I love her nose. Had no clue she's originally South African. What's a paper stump, btw?

Very nice. Β I too have drawn her. Β Especially like the highlight on upper upper lip. Β Don't mind me, I just see odd things or pieces that catch my attention.

Wow. This is beautifully rendered. I've done a portrait once, but it didn't come close to this.
I need more practice ;_;

This is amazing. Keep up the good work.

Draw from the iris out abd remember the eye is a ball, it has depth even when it's in the socket.

Good luck young lady

I don't even know what to say about this... The hair, her face, gosh she's gorgeous. I think what really draws my attention and holds it is her eyes. Particularly her left eye. The attention to detail is fantastic and just ... wow!

techn0vert [2014-01-07 04:14:54 +0000 UTC]

Wow! I know it might sound kind of weird, but I'm in love with the lips. They're perfectly shaded and the angle is great.Β

LAEllis In reply to techn0vert [2014-01-07 20:47:20 +0000 UTC]

ha its not weird...well maybe just a little weird. Lips and eyes are becoming my speciality i guess, they are usually focal points in peoples attention so its important to get them right.


Cheers for the compliment.

ISG-Art [2014-01-01 20:24:02 +0000 UTC]

The likeness and texturing are perfect! The only nitpicking I have with this, is that the darkest tones on her left eye are a bit darker than the ones on her right eye, for example comparing the pupils, which my brain focus on her left eye alone.

But this is an absolutely stunning piece of work
