Here's a quick thingy I did today- I found a pic of Keira Knightly (can you tell from the pout?!) in the newspaper randomly ages ago and have been wanting to paint it for ages. There's something about her moody stare- she looks really everyday with the loose ponytail and ciggy, but I thought she looked gorgeous. Something about the smoky eyes and profile- kind of independant and rebellious. Just looking at it now I can see thing's I'd like to change (it's amazing what you can see in a photo of work rather that in real life), but I just had this urge to do a black and white painting of it, so I did! It was fun.

Beautiful! You have such great talent for portraiture. I recognised Keira instantly! Though can I say that I have some doubts about her being a true Lizzy in the up and coming Pride & Prejudice movie....everytime I see the posters I cringe because she just doesn't seem "Lizzy" enough!!
thats so rad. i wish i could draw people. thats my biggest struggle at the moment. very cool
