Artist's Comments

Keira Knightley.

The purpose of this is that I wanted to draw a celebrity portrait that wasn't airbrushed, staged, or picture-perfect. I wanted the real person, not the magazine-photoshoot one. When I saw this picture of Keira, I knew that I wanted to draw it! I wasn't sure at first if she was snarling or laughing, but whatever. Haha.

I also wanted to draw emotion, which I figured out is way more fun to draw!

Specs:
? hours (I finished this one pretty quickly, though)
Medium: graphite
Dimensions: 11 X 14 inches

Great. When I draw, I like to try to challenge myself, too. Fantastic work!

Thanks for the compliment and fave! :D Challenges are definitely fun and it's a great feeling when you overcome them, for sure.

Oh, and I recall your journal saying something about her hair and how much she has, so I'd like to point out: it looks wonderful :P

Better than I can do. Must have taken 36.890573 years.

Amazing work. It seems impossible that a human hand could draw something like this. :) Artist. That's what you are.
:iconlareal:
I love that you focused on an unconventional expression for her. It really works.

Yeah, it was so fun to draw because it's different than what I've done in the past. Thanks for the fave!
