This is done on toned paper (dark yellow ocher) with charcoal and pastel pencil. The rough lighting study at the beginning I sometime do when I try to enhance the lighting on the subject and want to test out to see if it works. It's a simplified statement, which is often the hardest part because if you can get that over all lighting and structure down, it is relatively easy to just add more and more details if you want, then it's a matter of how realistic / what style you want the drawing to be.

Hope you guy enjoy.

Hate to say it but your rough sketch looks better than any portrait I've ever attempted. Superb work as per usual, do you watch Game of Thrones or is its cast simply an easy pool to pluck subjects from? Looking forward to more of these.

Both. I am a Game of Thrones fan. And my choice of subjects sometimes come from how many people requesting the drawing. If i see the same character being spammed/suggested to me frequently enough I just tend to do it. Most time I pick public personalities just so people know what the portrait is building toward, that's about it. But I do enjoy Game of Thrones a lot so it's a bonus.

Excellent! I'm proud of how dedicated you are. To me, it seems that you have a regular schedule of producing results. This is something very hard to cultivate or find in a person. You're a rarity, Glider!

When her face suddenly started to become white I didn't know what has happening and it hurt my eyes for a second.

But seriously you are the kind of person I look up to in my attempts to learn how to draw. I'll probably never be as good as you, but it's what I dream of.

Another amazing drawing! I almost thought the first copy was the real one, it looked so realistic and polished as it is.

Could you do Carl Sagan sometime?

Great portrait, really enjoying the game of thrones focus :D

Would also love to see Carl Sagan, and Michio Kaku, also, I'm curious, do you ever receive any feedback from any of the people you randomly chose to draw/sketch/paint?

Superb portrait as always. I love how the sketch makes anything I've ever drawn look like stick figures. Since you look into requests, I'd sure like to also see Neil Degrasse Tyson, astrophysicists need some portraits too!

varies, sometimes things flows well and goes smoothly, sometimes they don't. Often it's not even the actual drawing that takes up most of the time, it's the editing, finding decent music, finding the proper references, do the light tests etc. Right now I have two great composers who allow me to use their music, and they are high quality so that makes things easier. before I had to spend so long finding good royalty free music, that I often spend longer time looking for music than actually doing the drawing. I don't see the drawing process as a means to some final result, I want the process itself to be just as engaging.

very nice.

Personally, despite the amazing detail and beauty, I find it doesn't really look enough like her - at least compared to most/all of your other portraits you've done.
I gotta call it like it is :\ Anyone with me?

It's really hard for me to tell when comparing to the real picture it's copying what the differences are though. Maybe it's just me, or maybe the fact it's in color, but I didn't really recognize her in the drawing too well.
