Description This is dedicated to Enyalie and Nenesta and all my fellow Twilight lovers.

It´s not exactly as I imagine Alice, but I wanted to try the hair, short and standing in every direction. Actually I got used to the way they have done it on the first promo photos for the Twilight movie. And then there´s the problem that I see the story of these wonderful books in my head like a movie but I never really see faces. So I had to use a reference^^ (Ashley Greene)

Hope you like it

The scanner is still on strike... sorry for that.

I wanted to stay close to Meyer´s description of Alice.. So, I tried for the really short hair. Unfortunately I need a reference for drawing and chose the face of the actress who actually plays Alice in the movie.

Looks great. I like the way you drew the hair as it seems much more "book Alice" even though you used Ashley Greene's face. But the shading in the hair isn't gradual enough because the highlights/shines in her hair just pop out.

You´re absolutely right about the hair. I have my difficulties with soft pencils and dark shading...
I intended to do it book-like, indeed.

Aha, no worries. I absolutely SUCK at doing hair. In fact, my best portraits, both of my subjects happened to have dark shine-less hair.

Beautiful job here with Alice!
It looks more like the Alice in my head than the movie version, lol.
I especially like the eyes and the lips! Drawing lips always give me issues...

VERY Alice!! I think her hair is supposed to be a bit longer, but this is kind of how I imagined her!

lestriel In reply to EmbryH [2008-04-05 12:27:57 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I see. I made it so short because there is hair-length when "standing in all directions" starts looking really weird^^ and I wanted to go so much after Stephenies description.
But your "VERY Alice"-comment definitly made my day THX

lestriel In reply to shanaimal [2008-04-04 18:43:13 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much. This was the comment I have hoped for - that I nearly managed to picture the "personal" Alice of someone^^

Nenesta [2008-04-04 12:18:52 +0000 UTC]

You really did it!! *freaks out totally*
I just love this one, you're amazing - and thanks a lot for the dedication I'm beside myself with joy!
Do I have to add that I'm pro spiky hair? She looks so like Alice, and I honestly can't say which part of the picture I like best. Maybe her golden eyes.

Good that you like it. Maybe Alice now runs trough your head lookin´like on the pic. What about the nice stone? I thought of the "hand-me-downs" that Edward inherited from his mom and of which he gave some to Alice and Esme (and later Bella^^). And she *nearly* has fangs. I just couldn´t hold myself from it...

Nenesta In reply to lestriel [2008-04-04 16:58:31 +0000 UTC]

Of course I like it, how could I not?
Good idea with the hand-me-downs, I didn't think of that at first; wow. Jewelry is also so personal, I like that
Fangs, cool Maybe the next time? Actually I planned on drawing another picture anyway - gathered enough inspiration now, hehe

lestriel In reply to Nenesta [2008-04-04 17:00:52 +0000 UTC]

Then why do you still linger here? Start^^ I found the pic of the stone in a catalogue- it´s actually a blue topas *lol*. Well I really don´t understand why they shouldn´t have nice spiky teeth at least sometimes *g*.

*runs off* I'm already working *laughs*
Maybe I should hold you responsible for not finishing my work for school
And I'm all for the fangs

And I couldn´t yet write your letter ´cause I was drawing all the time^^ But a least I listened to loads of Greek mythology then.
