My favourite to date, I think. I'm awfully proud of it
I was originally going to draw Rita smiling, just a head & shoulders portrait, but I thought this image better represented her screen persona. And I loved the contrast, even though I did serious (if only temporary) damage to my shoulder getting the darks dark enough, holding up my completing it for three days Size: Slightly under A3 Materials: Mechanical pencil with 0.5 #B lead, #2B pencil, #8B Graphite Pencil, blending stumps, tissues, plastic eraser and kneadable eraser Time taken: Somewhere around 20 hours, give or take Post Work: Scan-knitting, level adjustment, border and watermark in Photoshop Enjoy, and please comment. I'd like to know what you think. Just a note to everyone who faved this, or another deviation of mine, or added me to their watch list, after this recieved a DD. I'm truly overwheled by your support, and while I would like to visit all of you, I really haven't the time, so I shall just say "Thankyou" here. I have managed to reply to comments, however. Thankyou again! Daily DeviationGiven 2005-07-08Rita Hayworth by ~Alene is a beautiful and skillfully rendered pencil portrait that absolutely deserves a closer look. (Featured by `twosilverstars) |
