So, it's been a while since I attempted to draw something more realistic; so I decided to draw a character from Lost. I have lots of snapshots from this show lying around in my computer, and at first I couldn't choose which one of them I should use as a reference; but eventually I picked this one, partly because I like Juliet a lot, and partly because I think she has an interesting face.
Hm, what else can I say about this pic... It took me about 3 hours to finish it, and there are several details that I probably could have done better if I had been less impatient. The hair, for instance, is kinda improvised, so don't pay too much attention to it. But overall, I think I like how it turned out. ^^
I love how you could remake one of those rare moments when she looks at something like this. You can't decide she is about to cry because she is happy or sad, you can't tell she is worried our proudly shy. I love her eyes!
You said you have a lot screenshots from LOST, would you please send me the one you used to draw this? Or if you have multiple pictures where she is kinda like this, can you send me those too? Just upload them to somewhere and send me the link to saltydave@gmail.com . Thank you, and again, amazing work!
Elizabeth Mitchell is absolute perfection. I adore her! And this! I always make the mistake of attempting to do her adorable little (what I call a) Mona Lisa smirk. And I always fail. She just has that air about her. She knooowss something you don't know. There is a little something wonky going on with her chin and I like, when doing a portrait, instead of having a harsh black outline around her face in the white space, perhaps you could have shaded the area around her? (Not that the line is too dark, I just think it would improve the drawing). All and all, this is fantastic so, please don't think I'm being mean. I do enjoy this a lot! And the eyes are great!!
God this is realistic. I have only seen two of your pictures and already I am in love with your artistic talent!

I was browsing for Juliet pictures, and came across yours. Beautiful work! I have a weakness for pencil portraits, and I'm just starting to discover what you can really do with them. Next to the stunning resemblance to the original, I raelly like your portrait because it helps me determine shades and proportions of the human face -- I usually draw elves myself, so that's slightly different
Oh my God. This is so beautiful.It is just perfect. You can feel Juliet's inner strenght but at the same time you can see how emotionally exhausted she is. You captured superbly that sad, tired look that you can only find it by those who stared too much into the horizon.Juliet is my favourite character too. She seems vulnerable but in fact she is very strong and committed. And she always seems to know more than she is telling us,like there is more than meets the eye. Just like your drawing, it has that aura of mystery the Juliet and Lost generally have. This is really a masterwork.You should be very very very proud of yourself.
Oh my, thanks a lot for your wonderful comment. Yes, that exactly what I tried to capture, even though I never would be able to describe it in words as well as you did. Again, thank you so much, reading your comment made me very happy.
Sorry I always forget the "IV" ^^.
