Happy to say I’ve finished the Holly Marie Combs drawing! Just click the image for a bigger view.

At first I had no clue as to what to put in the background - my imagination has dried up a bit lately - but my friend Iris helped me out and threw some keywords my way to use for inspiration and I’m pleased with the result.

The portrait itself has its imperfections and I could spend a good while pointing them out, but let’s not, that would only ruin it.
I think I captured Holly’s likeness, which was the idea - not as perfectly as I had hoped - but I’m still pleased with the drawing as a whole.

Used HB, 4H, 4B and mechanical pencils on white paper - A3 format. Also added to my gallery on tiogardubh.net.

Currently, I’m stuck with my original drawings, no idea where to put what and choosing its colors have me in a panic as well. But instead of doing nothing at all in the mean time, I set out to do a good old portrait again.
Lately I’ve been re-watching Charmed episodes, so I decided on drawing the stunning Holly Marie Combs, the cutest of the Charmed sisters.

This is the latest stage of the drawing (stage 3), where I’m at now:

Although, now that I look at it again, the eyes are a bit Alyssa Milano-ish. Okay, I’ll have to fix that, or just move on to an Alyssa drawing.

These are the previous stages, the second (left) and the first (right):

Still needs a lot of work and improvement, obviously. All images are clickable and have a more detailed description alongside an enlargement.
Stay tuned for the final result.
