Halle Berry Portrait
I’ve never drawn people before, so I tried my hand with it. What do you guys think? Does it look like her? Yes? No? lol.
I must say it’s alot more fun than I thought it would be. I can seriously see myself doing this for a while :P

I think you have done a great job capturing Halle and also retaining your own style- cool xx
Vestque replied
Wow, what a great compliment. I was sort of scared that I would loose myself by doing life drawings and portraits but I didn’t. I didn’t feel lost, nor did my style get lost in the completed drawing. I think thats why I enjoyed making it so much :D Thanks Ani!
Harald Gick
Great work Vestque! I echo AnitaInverarity!!!
Vestque replied
Hehe, Yay thanks Harald :D
Stefan Maguran
I really think you should do this for a while, as you are obviously good at it and you enjoy it.
Vestque replied
I think I shall, yeah. More of these celebrity portraits coming soon, then I’ll open up for commissions.
Matt Mawson
I like this a lot
Vestque replied
Thanks Matt, Means alot coming from you :P
Karin Taylor

Vestque replied
Thanks Karin :D
psygon
I showed this to my husband without saying anything about it, and he said “cool, halle berry”
We both agree – it’s a really well done picture!
Vestque replied
Yay! Man I’m just glad it looks like her. That’s 90% of the battle, making the drawing look like the person it’s supposed to, lol.
Stephen Thomas
Great drawing! Very well done!
Vestque replied
:D! Glad you like it Stephen. Thanks for stopping by!
AnitaInverarity
Great stuff- I’m glad you enjoyed it- you should do more xx
Vestque replied
I shall! I’ve already chosen my second portrait picture :P nod so stay tuned :D
Patricia Anne ...
Striking, a differnt view of her… it works!
Vestque replied
Thanks! I think the thing with me is I have to choose a picture of the person that i find interesting or striking or else I won’t be interested enough to draw it :P So as a result my reproduction of it is a little different than their normal sort of picture. I like that. Anywho, more coming soon ^ _ ^
lowvincentyh
fantastic!!
Vestque replied
Thanks Vince :D!
Lynette K.
You did capture her quite well…she looks a bit elvish. Nice shading as well.
Vestque replied
Heheh I like it! Thanks Lynette :D!
dendoo
way cool, a new side of you! i’m impressed!
Vestque replied
Yeaaaah, most def! I so didn’t ever think I would be a portrait artist, but I surprised myself when I just tried it. So, I guess it’s my new side thing huh :P
Ash Sivils
AND I QUOTE “I’ve never drawn people before, so I tried my hand with it.”
WTF, are you serious? This is your first attempt? Well damn girl,
I am really really impressed. I didn’t know you could use the lead so
fuckin well! VERY nice.. I think you should explore it more and more!!!!
Vestque replied
Yeah no, seriously. I have NEVER drawn people before. Never ever….EVER! I have never practiced nor have I ever tired. So as you can imagine I surprised the hell out of myself. Never knew it was in me.
So it has all gotten me thinking of new ways to exploit this newly found talent rubs hands together LOL
Ash Sivils
p.s. that’s just stupid good!
and yes she’s like an evil twin!!!
Vestque replied
BAhah! Thanks girl!
I love it cause I didn’t choose a normal pic of her to reproduce. In this pic she’s really trying to be sexy, and her body is half naked. But just zooming up on her face gave great results cause she did look a bit…evil and devilish. I glad I was able to capture that! nod nod
BLYTHART
Yes, you should definitely do more like this … great eyes!
Vestque replied
I sure will! Thanks Blythart!!!
BLYTHART
My 21 year old son recognised this instantly as Halle Berry.
Vestque replied
SWEET! Alright! Many people have told me something along those same lines. So now I am sure I can do this, make artwork that actually look like the people I am trying to recreate, lol! Thanks!
coffeetea
excellent drawing.. she looks great in this hair .
Vestque replied
Thanks! I know, I did this from a pic and her hair was just so cute!
ISMAIL ALAOUI ...
nice face, you could make her lift her hand catching a gun, and putting the gun on her head while starring,
mmm
she can look more dangerous to apporch
haha

Vestque replied
LOL, Thanks :D Glad you like it. This was alot of fun to make, lol. She would look fierce! carrying a gun :P

Tahnja
Love this drawing though the likeness isn’t there are much as it should be to recognise her immediately but I wouldn’t worry about that considering you’re new to faces. Keep going! WONDERFUL work
Vestque replied
Thanks! Yeah this was the first portrait I ever made :P So I’m just proud that there is a resemblance AT ALL! Lol, I’ve done a couple since and have gotten better ;)
You, on the other hand, seem to be quite EXCELLENT with faces :D
