Portrait Practice 2.

Can anyone guess who this is supposed to be?? I used Prismacolour pencils on white card and It looks very much like Melissa Gilbert from Little house on the prairie but, it is supposed to be Nicole Kidman. I need alot of practice getting the features just right if I want the images to look like who they are supposed to be. Practice, Practice I guess!

There's a lot right in this portrait, Shelly. I didn't get it right away, but when you said who it was, i thought, "Of course." Source material has a lot to do with it, too. Sometimes the photos you use, when you really look at them, for some reason don't convey the essential qualities that make the person look like him or herself. I think this is splendid.

Nicole - no doubt. Great job!

This portrait is just fantastic! I am forever drawing portraits and they look OK -- until you see the model and see that they never really look like ther person I am drawing! There must be a "trick" somehow!! But, I like this one very much!
