Charlize

Well I noticed there's been a lot of Charlize Theron drawings around lately and *shorrtybearr told me there's a contest going on, run by so I thought I'd check it out......like you do.

This time I thought I'd see if I could draw a portrait in just one sitting. As you know I usually take months over my drawings so it was quite a challenge to actually get more than just an eye drawn in 5 hours....and to add a little spice I drew her over the top of an article about her from Elle magazine...damn pesky print kept putting me off, it's the first time I've tried drawing on something other than blank paper and it was weird

Anyway like I said 5 hours with 2h,h,hb, & 4b mech pencils on A4 paper.

Not sure I'll enter this on in the contest as I'm also drawing one of the other photos, we'll see though 'cos I might not even finish the other in time.

Edit: well that was a nice surprise, you seem to like it so I'm entering it and it turns out you can enter two anyway so I'll continue with the other aswell. The news article about the contest is here [link]
