Description I have been thinking about drawing this picture for a while. I hesitated because the photo has a soft focus. I was afraid I could not capture that filtered fuzzy look. Squint when you look at her dress, because that's how I sketched it. The part that I am not happy about is the hair. I tend to skip the details of curls and stray hairs. Well, there's always something to improve. Nevertheless. I just LOVE the process of selecting photo, planning the size and sitting down to create.

I welcome comments and feedback.

This is another favorite of mine.  I absolutely love her acting, I think she is such a beauty!  To me she has angelic soft features.  I have always heard that hair is extremely hard to get correct.  I think this is perfect!

You are very precise and careful with your drawings so your portraits are very beautiful whereas I am ruggered and spontaneous so hair is not hard for me. I tend to lean towards landscapes and the sea but also admire other artists and their styles.
