Artist's Comments

Hi there, I only snapped 3 wip images of the Depp portrait and here they are. I start with a one inch grid, draw in a detailed outline and then starting from the top left I work my way to the bottom right. I work slowly and go over many areas till they look right, drawing in as much details as I can to make the drawing have a realistic look to it. The Vellum Bristol is great because it has a slight texture to it, this makes for realistic skin. I used a 2b mechanical pencil for most of the portrait, a 3b for large dark areas and a H for lighter areas, tissue to blend large areas and blending sticks for smaller.

I will be uploading a couple of close ups of this one in a moment.
Thanks for looking ~Linda

This is quite helpful, really. It allows me to see how to layout a portait type piece.
I seem to be okay when the person doesn't exist in the real world, but when it comes to reproducing real life people it tends to get a bit muddled.
I like being able to see what kinds of lines you used to set the foundation of the face.

I'll have to keep it in mind when next I attempt a portait.

Great job on this and the final piece.

This makes me realize - I'd love to see you do a wip of a drawing from beginning to end...show us how the master (or mistress in your case) does it...

Thanks for this one though...As ParabolicPhoton said - "This is quite helpful, really. It allows me to see how to layout a portait type piece."

Exactly.

hmmm..so vellum is better for more textured skin? I tried vellum on this shakira portriat and its pure hell to draw...I really regret it

I'm curious about another thing... How do you draw so you don't accidently put smudge marks on the paper with your hand? I don't see any smudges on your paper, it looks so clean and disciplined :)
