Nicole Kidman and Zire

Posted on March 12, 2011 by Guthlac

Utter Frustration

Posted on March 3, 2011 by Guthlac

Reworking the drawing in a digital format has lowered my frustration with this. I spent almost two hours trying to get this right and in the end I failed miserably. My aim was to make a really good likeness from a small photograph of the actress N… Continue reading →
