Halle Berry by NicoleH

I created this portrait using graphite, carbon, pastel chalk, and gold colored pencil. Drawn on Fabriano Tiziano 40% cotton drawing paper in an earth tone. This paper has a tooth grain surface which I flattened slightly since I prefer a smoother surface. Original size is 9.5×13.5.

"It's not over yet." (unfinished) by Martin Kirkwood

A portrait of my best friend. Some people have life easy, others really struggle. This lady’s resolve and determination against all odds amazes me. I’m not sure I can portray her determination on paper but I will try. See this as a work in progress here Acrylic and oil on 240gsm Windsor and Newton Galleria paper, / 210mm x 297mm / 2009
