Description
After a long process, I have finally completed my personal best portrait, the actress is Natalie Portman portraying Evey Hammond from the film V for Vendetta. After completing the portrait of Jesus which I was never entirely happy with I think I have produced a portrait that I am in fact very satisfied with, It's my best work to date in my opinion and is probably been the one thats involved the most work... but I loved every minute of it

A slight alteration in method for this one, I usually use tissues to blend areas such as skin, however I used no tissues for this drawing just a large blending stump and smaller tortillions which I made sure were clean of any graphite every time I used them. This was a much better technique for me which I think I'll use from now on.

Right, when I get the chance It's on to my next drawing which will be very interesting as It's not the usual kind of portrait that I have been doing lately, if it goes well im sure it will be one of my favorites.

The materials I used:

- Mechanical Pencils: 2H, HB, 2B,
- Regular Pencils: 4H, HB, 6B,
- Kneadable Eraser,
- Grid and Ruler for Proportions,
- Blending stumps and tortillions for blending.

Time: Unaccounted for.
