2005 for me was a special year in many respects, it only apt that I give it a proper farewell before embracing 2006.

This year was one of the years I was the happiest,

I finally sketched Angelina Jolie… I was searching for my next subject and thought who better than the best. I was a little reluctant to sketch her so early(she is only my 3rd sketch) but frankly im not impressed with the outcome.

One definate thing to come out of this is that I will probably never sketch her again. Why? I would love to say “time loses its meaning when im looking at her”(it does ) or say something fancy like “I dont think im compotent enuf to sketch someone as beautiful as her” but I wont. I just have 2 reasons… One, It takes too long… god only knows howmuch eraser I have used yesterday. What ever I did I never was satisfied… Two, I cant be left feeling dissatisfied after sketching for a long time and Im certain what ever I do it wont look as good as her .

Attempt 2 and I think it has come out better than the first one. I did not think twice, again inspired by my wallpaper. I have a huge wallpaper collection and more sketches of my wallpapers can be expected .

The thumbnail here does not do justice click on the image and see the bigger photo it looks much clearer. I got to find a scanner soon my camera is not great in taking photos of sketches… something to do with the lighting. The sketches look much better in real life (yes blowing my own horn)

More sketches soon

I always wanted to try my hand at sketching and finally allowed myself to embarass my self .

I tried sketching Laetitia Casta the supermodel. Why her? well she took me over the edge. Yesterday I was shuting down my system and my wallpaper changed to this photo(that I tried to sketch). I use Webshots as my wallpaper manager and it changes the wallpaper every 15 min. I dont know why but I just wanted to sketch her. I took courage a few hours ago and decided to put pencil to paper and voila…

I started at the eyes and trust me, you will never admire beauty untill you look at it in the eyes. The magic of perfection can be discovered by only sketching it. I made a mistake doing the hair and after that it just went downhill. Her face has come out much broader than I wanted but Im happy considering it was my first attempt.

This sketch took me about 45 mins to finish. I had to improvise and use the only blunt pencil in the house. I did not find the eraser untill I was done with the eyes, nose and the hair so not much mistakes as u can see. The hair was the eaziest part and nose probably the toughest. I looked and relooked at the eyes and the lips to get it as perfect as I could but it still turned out like that .

Well, heres to many more sketches… seriously hope I get better at it
