Description
After many hours of pencil work, a painful throat and a thousand times of scanning, my drawing of Katie Holmes is finally finished! It seemed like forever
... Especially the hair, which was a pain in the ass to do! 
I had been looking around at other people's galleries and drawings, especially of *jessie145 and *ArwenEvenstar16 . I watched what techniques and materials they used, so I could experience a little with it.
So on this drawing I used mechanical pencils (0.5m HB and 2B) and a tortillion for the first time, and I enjoyed working with these things.
Many thanks to *jessie145 and *ArwenEvenstar16 for inspiring me!I named this drawing after the song 'Atomic Soul' by Russell Allen. I really like that song.
The only WIP I have of this drawing can be found here: [link]

I've never gotten my art work to look so good. I may think it does in person but if i take a picture it comes out horrible.

I like this one a lot. I don't really like Katie as an actress...well, thats not true. I like her in a few things, but art-wise, I really like this. It has more contrast than you usually do I think. This is good. <><

there are a lot of portrait artists on this site, but you definitely are in the top rung. this is a fantastic representation of Katie, you got all of the expression, and yes, the hair looks great, too. I'm trying to figure out how to digitally draw hair and haven't even gotten close.
