Description Julia Roberts in a nice fuzzy sweater. Done in graphite, 8.5x11 hp printer paper, with photo reference. It took about 4 days working on and off, which is a lot longer that I thought it would take. It isn't exactly the masterpiece I've been trying to find, but I guess it'll do for now. I have been trying some different things in color that didn't work,so I guess I'm stuck back here in world of black and white. Anyways, tell me what you think, and I'll try to do better next time.

oh, and sorry to that guy that hates Julia Roberts, i think it was siedr or something like that.

heheh, very slowly and very carefully. I used to have very steady hands, and a lot of patience, I'm working on getting those back.

you've taken out the fun loving girls she is (or seems to be). her eyes and hair are great. but there is a slight something about her mouth, or maybe the crease her mouth makes when she's smiling like so.

the jumper's detail is (a word i cant remember right now) and you've captured the fuzziness of it. i think all your time and effort was worth it

I've always wanted to be able to draw people..Or much of anything for that matter. I just love pencil work. It seems so.. I dunno the word for it. That sweater must've been very hard to do..course with your talent I'm sure it was a breeze..

Great job on the detail, her mouth looks a bit too close to her nose, and the hair looks a little too short at the top, but other than that it's amazing, and perhaps in spite of that.

Awesome work!

Quote: "It isn't exactly the masterpiece I've been trying to find, but I guess it'll do for now" I'm quite worried about your eyesight if you think this is not a masterpiece.

I think it looks fantastic! It looks more like a photograph than pencil work. I'm trying to figure out how people can draw like this but not having much luck at the mo.

this is one of your most accomplished pieces. amazing shading, she looks so alive and indeed the detail on the sweater is spectacular.
btw, I'm a girl, not a guy, and I don't hate Julia Roberts, i just dislike her acting skills. I'm waiting for more Claire Danes.

U MEAN THIS ISNT A PHOTOGRAPH?
i think it's great and i understand that u worked on it for 4 days with all that detail!!!
DAYEMN i don't think i would have the courage to keep working for so long on a drawing like that...
i usually get tired of it...

you are INSANE..... I came across u on comatoserose's page.........
just curious... and WOW.....

you have great talent..... Rarely do I see realism captured to that extent.... Kudos to you
its really amazing... not just the realism... but the way u have grasped the essence of that character... for example... the warmth and radiance in Julia's eyes and gorgeous smile

that jumper must have been a bitch

you deserve more recognition for your talent

Hey, i love it, it gets a fav from me! You drew it with her classic expression. The capture is great, theres not one thing out of proportion. The fabric is fantastic. I love the detail in this picture!! Theres absolutely no roughness to her face and the hair... well, the hair is perfect! Youve really done it this time! Did i say that it gets a fav?!! lol, anyways, keep up this pace and youll soon be one one of, if not the best freehand sketch artist on this site!

I love keepin up with your work. Alright, enough praising for today, (more tomorrow)lol, i gotta run, but its a great peice.

Later

ItΒ΄s always hard to draw a portrait of someone everybody knows - more people are likely to find mistakes - but youΒ΄ve done really well with this ! And four days with that detail on the sweater ??? Amazing 1 Good work !

The hair around the forhead and those crooked few strands of hair on the upper left feel out of place. Her hands could have been less harsh. . . and her smile is a bit off..maybe the teeth...maybe the edges of her mouth are too pointy? Julia has kind of round lips all around. .. maybe I'm wrong. . . her left eye seems a bit out of place..too dark? . ..I mean I can definitely tell it is Julia Roberts...but it can still be tweaked in the face to resemble her even more .

The sweater work is OUT OF THS WORLD fabulous. . and many many props to you for sticking it out there.

The hair around the shoulders is great.

You're developing your talent in a very very good direction. . don't stop.

wow, i can't believe how much patience you must have to complete something with as much details as that sweater. it's also a very good likeness of Julia Roberts. lotta people who draw her, you have to tilt your head and close your eyes to see the resemblance. very cool!

There are parts of this picture which are particularly v.well done (eg. the jumper). i think if you can tell who the person is [in the picture] without reading a title/description, then the artist has already done a pretty good job and like all your others i could tell who this picture was of straight away.... so keep up the great work! looking forward to seeing more.

I like Julia and I love the way you draw her. I think I faved your other drawing of her and this one is just as good. The sweater is incredible. Makes my head hurt to think of how long that must have taken. But I love the detail. It looks fantastic!

Wow...I had to wait a while for this to load (shitty modem right now) but I'm not disappointed. Well done. her mouth looks just right, and so do the eyes, and oeverall piece. That wollen jumper looked like it would have been the most time consuming! Great job.

This is very good. I think this one is a real pencilwork... unlike some of the works by "artist" who makes the same calim. Keep it up.
