Keira Knightley
Keira Knightley by @Hippy_of_Doom (Sabrina A Thomas)

I'm gonna annoy a few people by saying I can't stand Keira Knightley, and I know like everyone likes her. It's not that I'm jealous, as I like a load of people I'm jealous of, I just think she's an absolutely ghastly person. Why am I drawing her, I hear you cry. Well ages ago when I was indifferent to her, I tried drawing her as part of a POTC series. It wouldn't go right at all and was one of the worst drawings I've ever done. So then I became determined to draw her well.... hence this.

I don't think this is the most accurate drawing of her, but it's certainly a dramatic improvement from when I last tried to draw her. The reference is an advert she did for Asprey, and hardly anyone recognises that it's her in those. Took about 5 days to draw - my quickest yet!

This was my first time using Bristol Board and it was amazing, so everyone who doesn't already use it, go buy nooooow!
