Justin Guarini was on my drawing board (2/18/06). As you can see I decided to draw another double portrait. This one took 60 hours to finish, the hair was a little difficult, basically what I do is draw the shapes I see rather then drawing hair. The size is 11 x 14 inch on vellum Bristol, I used 3b, H, and a 2b mech pencil, blending sticks, plain tissue and a kneaded eraser. The main reference photo is by Shane James and the smaller reference photo is by Kathy Guarini. Wip Images and close up: Johnny Depp was on my drawing board the first week in December 2005. I put 60 hrs into this double portrait and feel it's one of my most realistic works. It's 11 x 14 inches on Vellum Bristol, I find this paper to be best for portraits due to the slight texture to it, I used graphite 2b, h, b, 3b, Tissue, and blending sticks. This one was drawn for fun. Wip Images: Thanks for stopping in and if you have any questions about drawing techniques please email me. ~Linda imaginee_art@midtel.net
