I always wanted to try my hand at sketching and finally allowed myself to embarass my self :P.
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 :P.
Well, heres to many more sketches… seriously hope I get better at it
