Artist's Comments

After many hours of pencil work, a painful throat and a thousand times of scanning, my drawing of Katie Holmes is finally finished! It seemed like forever :faint:... Especially the hair, which was a pain in the ass to do! :O

I had been looking around at other people's galleries and drawings, especially of *jessie145 and *ArwenEvenstar16. I watched what techniques and materials they used, so I could experience a little with it.

So on this drawing I used mechanical pencils (0.5m HB and 2B) and a tortillion for the first time, and I enjoyed working with these things. :) Many thanks to *jessie145 and *ArwenEvenstar16 for inspiring me!

I named this drawing after the song 'Atomic Soul' by Russell Allen. I really like that song. :)


The only WIP I have of this drawing can be found here: [link]

Excellent work, great shading and detail work, usually difficult to do with a mechanical pencil especially darker tones, but looks great!

Thank you!!! Well, the darker tones are mostly done with 6B and 8B pencils. No mechanical pencils there ;).

It came out very well. :-)

So, what about "Atomic Soul" do you think fit with this?

Very nice.. You've distracted me from my "DeviantArt is not MYSpace" rant.

Thank you.

Oh, lets say I like this song so much ;). I was listening to it when I submitted the WIP version of this drawing :).

Fuck me, I didnt even comment this........Well I've been very busy with happy things lately D D:D
I love this work! You've managed to capture the shape and the frame of the face really well.

Next to me is just the cold
My ears hear the silence unfold
My skin feels the wrinkles growing
My tears are sowing
The seed once put
Somewhere deep down
If someone finds me
Dont make a sound
