Artist's Comments
Keira
What can I say.. Gorgeous Keira Knightley from Pirates of the Caribbean. No doubt one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. Well, it took me even longer than Jennifer, my previous photo-ref: a grand total of 14.5 hours split over 5 days. Same tools as before: one 0.5mm HB mechanical pencil (Pentel P205) and one 5.6mm 2B leadholder (Creatcolor 430 01), same paper: just one simple A4-sized copy-paper. And again no post-production, except some dirt-removal (photoshop). YEA, and a lot of music of course! Hm, maybe some words to the drawing itself? K, the hair gave me some hard time again, and some parts look weird. Also, the lips were kinda difficult, and I don't know if got em right. But, I'm most content with the eyes, they were a lot easier that the last ones. So, nuff said! As usual, comments and critics (and favs o'course  ) are more than just welcome! Comments
 can i be the first to say: astonishing!
 -well done...critically speaking, yea, the lips on her right side may need some collagen (lol) but even that is barely noticeable...  14.5 hours -  great job-- { walk bravely. if Christ be in you } { [link] }my.deviant.art.in.life. { [link] }my.faith.revealed.in.life  great portrait. I am always looking for other portrait artists on da. She is very pretty...but I still think Gillian Anderson from the x-files is hotter. I really wish I could find a pic of the girl from Princess Bride.
Nice job on the hair.  Dude, i totally agree with you. Keira Knightley is the hottest girl hot out there. Your picture is a masterpiece, good job man.
-- That's not in my job description....  Lovely! The shading is awesome and so is the hair. I can't understand hair
 well, i dont understand it either sometimes
 it's especially difficult (like in this case here) to draw it "out of the black", or to phrase it differently, to draw it as black as the background is, like to draw black hair on black ground  . but you have to, otherwise you'll notice that it is not there..hm, does anybody understand what i just wrote? well, me neither  anyway, thanks for commenting, Heather -- █ ¢creative I understood it
You're welcome! This is beautiful!
 this drawing is beautiful, excellent work, 14.5 hours well spent
   I think I've already told you that I liked this. Her left eye seems a bit off, but the overall picture is gorgeous!
