Description ALL in mechanical pencil! It was a pain to color in all the black of the hair, and it didn't turn out as smooth as usual (the mech. pencil left a lot of marks in the paper since it's so much sharper than woodless graphites)

Drawn for my grandma in Japan She really likes Audrey Hepburn too, so I hope she enjoys this drawing!

Beautiful! I thought this was a charcoal piece until I real the comment. The only minor issues I see is some small smudges on her forehead, but that just might be the scan.

Thank you! No, there really are smudges there. People messed with it at school and I was too lazy to fix it

Lol, it's called 'Funny Face' because that's a name of one of her films Also, back then people were used to a more traditional, curvy beauty. So someone like Audrey Hepburn was kinda revolutionary, cause she was beautiful in a not-so-beautiful way...if that makes sense

Thank you! I'm actually half Japanese

Isn't she? DanBoldy is right; it's a reference to one of her movies, Funny Face.

Thank you

when did you start drawing realistic style? me nearly 3 years ago now but my technique has developed most in the last 4 months (so a bit before I became a dA-member)

DanBoldy In reply to hikimedia [2009-01-11 22:29:54 +0000 UTC]

Umm... I don't think I've had a style to be honest - But I've always drawn since I was little - through school etc.

I must say your work is impressive! You certainly have a lot more done that me! lol
