Pencil Portrait...


I saw this image of Kirsten Dunst as Marie Antoinette on Pinterest today and remembered a portrait I drew based on that very photograph back in college. It's from 2006 but I still love it and I will forever hold that movie on a pedestal as one of the most beautiful costume dramas ever envisioned. Oh to be back in school... and have time to devote to large, fully realized pencil portraits!

  4. @ Sunny- Aw thanks! It is kinda vintage-y looking =)
    @ Aggie- Thank you! I went through a bunch of pencils on this one, lol.
    @ Al- You are too kind! I would love to do them more often but they take so much time... I still have some half finished ones that have been sitting under my bed for years. Maybe I'll get back into it this summer =)
