Description Yay, my first picture with mah new art pencils and thus also my first attempt at any sort of actual shading. This one the cover picture on the DVD of the 2004 movie.

And don’t talk to me about Christine’s head. Aaarghh!! Somehow her head reminds me of a fish. I’m trying not to think about it though. It turns out that angle was a lot harder to get right than I thought it would be. Someday, when I am a better artist, I will return to this picture and redo it properly.

Someday. Today is not that day.

Ooooh very nice! I like the sense of volume and form in Christine's hair, as well as the subtle shading on Eric's mask. This might sound weird, but I really like Eric's left eyebrow. It gives him a calm and tender expression. I mean I REALLY like that eyebrow.

Are these charcoal pencils you used? Seems like you were able to get a lot of control in the linework.

Yep, it has not been named the Sexiest Left Eyebrow in Movie History for nothing. And Christine’s hair is really big. And I mean -really- big. But still looks gorgeous and perfectly curled. *sigh* Not fair.

I used dirt ordinary art pencils for this; I really can't handle anything else. HB for the basic sketch and 4B, 5B and 6B for the shading, depending on the darkness level.
