Description
Portrait of Gwen Stefani referenced from a photo shoot in Glamour Magazine (April 2005 issue). I loved the photograph and thought it would be a bit of a challenge. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, not 100%, but it did take about 14 hours in total! The saddest thing about this pic is that it is an A3 piece and my scanner is only A4 so lots of details are missing.. like most of her jacket with the gothic writing on, hat, gloves etc.. Much better seen in person but I think the way this is framed I fit most of the details on.
Technical Info: Done in B, 2B, 4B and 6B pencils.

This is SO good. I showed it to my sister who in turn called my mum to see it too. My mother just exclaimed "Why hasn't she gone to art school?!" 
I know your capable of work like this, but I'm still in awe... well done you

Thanks! Well I worked on it over a period of 3 nights, for about 4-6 hours each night, so I estimated that it took about 14 hours in total.

Brilliant!
Gwen Stefani is like my ultimate idol! As soon as her album came out I went and brought it. I am a huge fan of No Doubt. She has the coolest style around, I love the clothes she wears they are just so different. I brought the April Issue of Glamour purely for the interview with her.
This is a great picture, you should feel very proud.

Thank you for a great comment and the
She has a fantastic style which I find very inspiring. I love this picture because it is Gwen, but I don't think I could ever do her true justice with my pencil

Very impressive Claire! The face looks particularly realistic as are the contrasts in colour, and it's a very good likeness.
It's nice to see how your work has developed since we were at school. I remember the rats you drew in my 10th birthday card! They were well good - and Haminu!
Would be nice to see you again and catch up. Let me know if you fancy it!

oh i love gwen, she's my fav and i love this. well done
'like most of her jacket with the gothic writing on, hat, gloves etc.. Much better seen in person but I think the way this is framed I fit most of the details on'.
you could scan in those details and put them into your scrap area so that i can see!!! -just different sections which arn't shown here, well that's what i thought
seems a shame, to not be able to show it all, especially since the rest is so good.
Good work,

The detail in her clothing is particularly impressive. I'd probably run out of patience for that

Oh, this is great, I love Gwen and I love your drawing! I love the detail you put on the clothes and how you succeed to get such great contrast in the picture. Lovely pencil work! Her clothes are awesome and you draw them awesome! Don't know what to say other than it's great

I loved the original photograph because of all the different details and textures on her clothes, they were fiddly but quite fun to draw. I love doing pictures with strong contrasts so they look dramatic and moody, the original photo was black & white so it had a classic look I wanted to capture. Although with the heavy use of 4B and 6B pencils my fingers and hands were such a mess afterwards
