Charlize Theron – Actress Images HotHollywoodStar.com


I saw a photo of Charlize Theron in my TV guide and decided to use it for a study sketch.

While it seems solid enough in quick passing, there are some things that could be better (as there always are). That is a good thing, because it means I’m still progressing.

The way I set up the sketch was different from what I did previously. I find tried to visualize the head as a block in perspective and tried to see it without the hairdo. Next, I set up the proportions of the features (where I made a mistake, by making the nose slightly too long), and corrected the initial outline of the head and neck accordingly. Finally, I added the hairdo and the shading on the face and neck, and made the background darker.

I need to practice this more often, because in the portrait class at the local community college, I often go wrong in the initial setup. I need to visualize and even pre-visualize before I concern myself with how it looks. Structure first, looks later. This requires discipline on my part, because some models are just too beautiful not to be in awe.

I don’t want to follow a strict technique, but rather keep it loose, so my art doesn’t become stiff and predictable. This means I will be slow at first, compared to those who follow some step-by-step tutorial, but once I’ve mastered my less procedural approach, I will get faster, no doubt, and blow the 1-2-3 artists out of the water.

One hopes, at least.

Watch: Adorable Animated Short ‘Crush’ About Cable Cars in Love by Alex Billington February 18, 2022 Source: Vimeo This might just be the sweetest short film you’ll see all year. Crush is an adorable 3-minute animated short made by a French animation collective called MegaComputeur (from their site: “We love telling stories and bringing characters to life… Especially dumb characters.”) and it’s a must watch . It was commissioned by the French Alps ski resort Val Thorens and it’s a delightful short about two cable cars in love. A scrap dealer about to crush an old 80s cable car imagines what life was like for two mountain lovers on cables. The character designs are so cute and I love how pure their love is – sharing fondue and snacks together, relaxing in a hot tub, making snowmen. Yes, I can confirm that this definitely makes me want to visit the mountains. I always adore these kind of warm, charming animated shorts that are meant to make you smile and laugh. Thanks to S...

Full US Trailer for Creepy Icelandic Thriller ‘Lamb’ with Noomi Rapace by Alex Billington July 27, 2021 Source: YouTube “It’s not a child. It’s an animal.” Someone loves their little lamb a bit too much. A24 has revealed an official US trailer for an unsettling film from Iceland called Lamb , which just premiered at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival earlier this month. A childless couple in rural Iceland make an alarming discovery one day in their sheep barn. They will soon face the consequences of defying the will of nature, in this dark and atmospheric folktale. This one is described in reviews as a “highly original take on the anxieties of being a parent, a tale in which nature plus nurture yields a nightmare.” The film stars Noomi Rapace (who is actually Swedish but she moved to Iceland as a child where she spent some time growing up), Björn Hlynur Haraldsson , and Hilmir Snær Guðnason . This looks like it starts out as an intriguing story about connecting with a little lamb...
