"Guess who- competition again (WIP)"

Heres the piece Ive been working on today. I am sure nobody has a clue who this celebrity is.. but I guess its not your fault though.

I am doing this drawing because I have no commissions on right now and I need practice with long hairs and smooth skin, so dont think I am her huge fan or something.

Drawing time so far 7hours. Nothings completed yet

Some dude that became a woman? Just kidding, I think the drawing is coming along fine and I think Jim is right, he won the first prize I'll settle for the second. Keep it up MHK and God bless.

How did Jim know that so quickly? I bet he cheated somehow

Ok its still out of focus, lacks details etc. but at least its almost half-done. I hope I can finish it today. Thanks fot Abso and Itoy for your comments

That looks really good and smooth, especially around the eyes. Keep it up!

It's looking great Matti....

MHK, your work is fantastic. I have two questions, what kind of paper do you use, and what are Nessu tissues and where can they be found! thanks

Zmick:
Thanks for the comment.

I use local Finnish paper 8x11" (very cheap actually but good). Nessu-tissues are also local products, I believe the same kind of tissues can be found anywhere (?). I primarily use Nessus for blending, only for the final touch I use chamois, it somehow gives textures warmer tone, though theres no actual colors but only gray

WOW!! It looks just like me!

(kidding of course...)

This is looking wonderful. I agree with the need for sharp details but like you said, you are not finished yet.

I think your drawing really gives her a lot of character and the style is of great interest, brings it to life!

Good luck on the hair! I am eager to see how others accomplish realism with long locks!!

Thank you
