This one is dedicated to I always wanted to do some portraits of the golden age movie-icons! And when Christine started doing hers, I got just the inspiration I needed to kick off. Took me awhile to get going, but here's one of my fav's, Sophia Loren. I plan to do a few others over time too. Richard Burton, Gregory Peck, Jean Simmons, Gary Cooper, Ava Gardner, Ingrid Bergman etc.etc... There are really so many legends to choose among! But as a hardcore movie fan, I really enjoyed this one. Hope you like it, Christine! Tools were mechanical pencils 0.3, 0.5. a woodless Monolith graphite 9b from Cretacolor (and this one is awesome!) blendingstick and erasers. times used, about 25 hours. Photo for reference.
