Description Whilst I struggle to finish a couple of larger pieces, I am 'relaxing' by drawing some smaller pictures and attempting to increase the levels of 'realism' into my drawings.  

I didnt really need to put her name in the title, as no one on earth has lips this distinctive and dare I say it - sexy
The one the only Mrs Pitt, otherwise known as Angelina Jolie.  

Drawn on A4 Bristol Board a couple of hours each night after work - probably 8-10 hours work (Most of them on those lips!) using a HB and 8B traditional pencils along with a 4B mechanical pencil, my Tombo eraser and a blending stick.

If you do not believe thats how her lips looked - check out the reference i used here tvgid.ua/i/uploads/Image/2(374…

Anymore realistic, and you'll be at electron microscope level! Awesome detail. Certainly the best choice of lips as well. They are just uniquely her aren't they?

I adore those textures! Awesome drawing practice, it looks like it must have been really helpful for improving realism skills.

Paul-Shanghai In reply to DanielaIvanova [2014-02-17 03:06:19 +0000 UTC]

Yes you are right, it is a great reference due to the size and detail available.  I have found that drawing large scale allows you to put more and more detail into a drawing, and then when you go back to smaller scale you can try and apply the same techniques - which in theory should lead to more realistic work

DanielaIvanova In reply to Paul-Shanghai [2014-02-23 17:30:43 +0000 UTC]

Something I've found through my own experience, too. Large scale always works better for detail freaks (like myself). What shading techniques do you use in your works?

Cheers - it was good practise to get so much detail in a relatively (for me) small drawing

Paul-Shanghai In reply to CARLASTARA [2013-10-01 02:16:13 +0000 UTC]

The nose took about 30 secounds - the lips took about 30 days I agree it is a very realistic nose

CARLASTARA In reply to Paul-Shanghai [2013-10-01 21:43:57 +0000 UTC]

Ahah I imagine that But is still a realistic nose  

30 days for real for the lips?

Paul-Shanghai In reply to CARLASTARA [2013-10-02 01:07:41 +0000 UTC]
