Description I'd been toying with this idea for a while, and I discovered a bunch of pieces that will never be finished. Either I don't have the reference anymore, or I just didn't like how they were turning out. Or whatever. So this is like 8 mini deviations in one. All are pencil on A4.

From the top:

Pete Postlethwaite - something just wasn't sitting right with me for this one. He has such odd features anyway, but I don't think I helped...
Natalie Portman - the reference for this was shot in such a way that her face was almost symmetrical. By this stage it had gone all wonky. I don't like wonky drawings.
Liam Gallagher - singer with Brit band Oasis. This was started years ago when they were at the peak of their career ('95/'96 I think). I have no inclination to complete it.
George Clooney - this was an experiment to see how quickly I could draw a portrait. It took a couple of hours, but the source didn't include any hair.
Tobey Maguire - I don't know quite what happened, but it got a little too 'soft' looking for my liking.
Michelle Pfeiffer - I've tried scanning this one so many times but it's just too delicate a study to pick up. I don't have the ref for this one anymore.
Sandra Bullock - I used to have a massive crush on Sandy, but then my gf (now my wife) came along and put a stop to that.
American Werewolf Pointilism - from the infamous transformation sequence in John Landis' movie from the early 80s. Got too complicated so I stopped.

And that's all I have to say about that.

Hey there.

These are all unfinished pieces, so there is no 'full version' to show you. Sorry.

a great idea!
an awesome fave!

sometimes I never finish mine either,
family members think I'm a bit looney
for having so many "unfinished ones" in my sketch book!

they always tell me don't you ever finish one before starting another?

always starting with the eyes, if I don't like the way it starts out I don't finish it...
and sometimes come back to it a year later or so and add on to it to try to fix it up a bit.

Heh, these are you graveyard? Sheesh, that's me in twenty years on a good day. I really like the eyes on Pfeiffer, she is a fine looking woman. I think the Tobey is fine, Clooney too. The werewolf.....badass dude, wish you'd have finished it. Cool stuff man.

My traditional technique has actually changed very little in the 15 years since I really started drawing properly. If only it would evolve in the same way my digital stuff has.

Glad you like them.
