Fabulous Gemma Arterton as Tess Durbeyfield from BBC's period drama "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" (based on Thomas Hardy's novel). I thought the way she played her role was fantastic, which made the whole series extremely moving!
Anyone else enjoy the drama / novel? It'd be lovely to hear what you thought.
I used graphite on Bristol Extra Smooth Board (sometimes a bit too smooth for my liking!) and all the usual tools: putty eraser, tissues and even eyeshadow applicators!
It seemed it took me forever to finish it, but I really feel it was worth it. It was my first attempt on this paper, which made it a great learning experience.
Your comments are welcome!

wow That's brilliant! Well I can imagine it took really long to finish this, the shading is absolutely perfect And the hair is just amazing, the structure looks so realistic
Aww thank you so much! I always get so amazed when I read about how quick some artists are! There are so many talented people here. I on the contrary always take forever (it feels) to finish my drawings. I only hope I am improving at speed! Perhaps, everyone is different and I am just a slow artist, lol!
I watched that drama! <3 The shading is really smooth and life-like Really great drawing, looks like a lot of work and passion went into it :] Good job !
What sort of paper were you using before? I'm thinking of asking Sanata for Bristol smooth (rather than sketch pads) & am wondering if it'll make a big differance?
