Description

This is Kathryn Grayson, probably best known from the 1950s movie musicals 'Showboat' and 'Kiss Me Kate'.

I've been working on this for quite some time - it was started around the end of July, and was then put on hold during uni time, and I've only just managed to combine both the time and the energy to complete it. I'm quite pleased with it, however, and it doesn't seem to have suffered too much from the long hiatus. I hope you like it!

No, she doesn't have lower lashes - or rather she does, but they are so faint that they are generally not even visible in any publicity shot taken before the mid 50s and the advent of heavier mascara. I've toyed with the idea of putting some in anyway, but I'm not sure if I should or not yet. =)

Size: 25.5 x 31cm
Time Taken: Around 20 to 25 hours
Materials: Quill 110gsm sketching paper, 0.5 mechanical pencil with #B lead, #8B solid graphite pencil, tissues, blending stumps, plastic, kneadable and electric erasers.
