Artist's Comments

Smoothened out and refined. And I can't draw the woollen hat.

EDIT: Thanks for all the comments and favourites. I was completely blown away.

I read every single comment (and I'm very very very touched), but I have no time to reply to every single one...soo:

1. Yes, I did use a reference photo. You can easily find it on the web. It's a very popular picture of Natalie.
2. Yeah. I love Star Wars. I want to marry Darth Vader.
3. I took 5 hours or so doing this.
4. I used a set of Derwent pencils (THEY'RE AWESOME, BUY DERWENT!). 4H, H, 2B, 4B, 8B Oh yeah, and the awesome pilot mechanical pencil.
5. It wasn't altered on the computer in any way, this one. Save the brightness and contrast.
6. I dunno if it looks like someone else other then Natalie, and I'm not very sure of how Madonna looks like (Many of you said it looked like her. xD). I personally think it RESEMBLES Natalie, but I'm perfectly aware that it's not the best likeliness of her.

And yet again, THANKYOU! I <3 you guys. (:

Daily Deviation

Given 2006-02-10

Natalie Portman 3 by ~sithness is among the growing number of pencil renderings that shows character as well as attention to execution and technique. The detail gets more dense moving inwards to the face in a fashion I find worth noting. (Suggested by ~buddhababy and Featured by `zeruch)

You can't? Oh I think you can. If you can draw her so realistic, then a piece of clothing would be nothing. Try the hat. You can do it.

do you dream life? or live dreams?
are your dreams really memories? or your memories only dreams?
who's to say, where the memories end and the dreams begin.
Whats REALLY real? Whats a lie?
Is life only a figment of our imaginations?

I am in awe.
Complete and total awe of you
That is so amazing....
When I saw the thumbnail I thought that this was a photogragh
Good gravy, if I had half the talent you have...
Those eyes. Totally captivating
:iconomppu:
unbelievable shading + the eyes look so realistic :D
:iconsazzra:
This is an amasing piece. The eyes look great (i rarely manage to get them in line). I like the way you've only shaded one side of the nose but its still retained its shape, well done! You should definately attempt drawing the hat, this picture deserves to be completed.

I think I'm suffering from amnesia and de ja vu, I have a feeling that I've forgotten this before.
