The one that got away

Posted on March 2, 2011 by Guthlac

Well this is based on Nicole Kidman and I suppose from a distance it may be a bit of likeness and I must say I am disappointed in that. However, the drawing was such a small scale that I don’t think I have the correct control, too big and cumberso… Continue reading →
