My first attempt at sketching Alizée
 

Been a long time since I've done some creative drawing, thought I'd have a go at Alizée. Pretty happy with how it turned out, except for the head, I can't draw facial features to save my life :( especially at this small scale (she looks kinda evil :o :)))

Got a long way to go until I can do her justice, but it's a start :dance:


This is the image it's based off for reference:

I'll be honest, what you yourself said is true, but I do see skill and potential in your work and I'm sure if you keep at it, you will improve.

One of the most beautiful images I've seen of her is this one here. I don't know how it was created, but I think it captures the physical beauty of her face, her charm, but probably more importantly, the soul within those eyes.

Maybe something in this video I posted might help you in capturing her beauty when you paint.

I had often looked for a street artist in my travels who I thought could best capture her beauty. I had pretty much given up hope, until after my many years, I finally decided to make a couple of trips to Hawaii. I was walking down the street one beautiful night, when I saw an artist whose ability finally drew my attention. I told him I wanted to get a portrait of a beautiful French singer, but I was leaving the next afternoon. He told me to come back later that evening and I did, but then I found him painting some other person's portrait. I was upset to say the least and I did a slow burn, but I hung in there and when he was done, he worked on my portrait. He wasn't able to finish it up that night, but I met with him the next morning and he was able to finish it up before I left.

You definitely have artistic talent! Keep it up...and I’d love to see more of your work as you go along.

All in all, it's not bad. Hands and faces are tough and you have some work there to do. However, everything seems to be in proportion and your shading is good. As far as you saying she looks evil, you can just say it is Alizee's evil twin. ;)

Thanks everyone for the feedback :D
This drawing is very small, only about 8cm tall, so I'm keen to see whether drawing at a larger scale is easier or harder.
There will 100% be updates when I have another go at drawing her ;)

I can’t draw even close like that, So for me it’s a Masterpiece

Please do! I’ll be looking forward to it!

:) Well, STILL better than me!

I'm not the one here who can speak (is it 3?) languages! Thank you though :D

Cheers mate! Is it something you've had a try at doing? Don't have to share if you don't want to of course.
