First attempts at Natalie

If I had to think of a great subject I’d like to draw, one of the first names would be Natalie Portman. Her face has the soft features that makes it interesting and challenging. And of course she’s also attractive, which is a plus – you don’t want to be staring at something you don’t like for too long.

My first sketch was terrible so I abandoned it straight away:

I then tried again, armed with a lot of patience and a some measurements. Still not happy except with the eyes
