Another brunette...
My third brunette in a row, to be exact (yes I'm including Sumo Alfred). This time it's a digital sketch of actress Eva Green (Casino Royale, Kingdom of Heaven), done for a drawing challenge over at the Drawing Board.
Drawn in about 90 minutes in Painter 8 using the Square Chalk tool. I love the natural hand drawn feel it gave the piece.
And as an added bonus, I finally got my screen capture program working again and managed to create a timelapse video of the drawing process.
EDIT 5th April- Added a touch of colour.

I really like the feel of this one. Painter is pretty amazing for natural media effects. The way you use different media encourages me to experiment abit more with all of it's different tools. Thanks!
Well done Chris, it really looks natural like charcoal drawing with bit edgy highlights....
I have Painter essentials 3 and i will try somthing like this:)
Chris... Why go to art school when I have these turtorials? Brilliant.
Great drawing and I really enjoyed watching the choices you make.

Mr Wahl...
Great work and generousity.
I've just sent this to my sister to show my 3 yr old nephew. He is now addicted to your time lapse videos. He loves watching the pictures come together.
Your bigger than Wiggles mate!
You're some kind of crazy genius. My god. You'd think I'd be used to being blown away like this.
awesome drawing and cant get enough of the timelapse videos-very inspiring--gotta go draw now
you draw like a computer... but better, of course. Really awesome, and inspiring! :)
Awsome natural feeling on this one Chris.
Hey Chris. This is awesome. I love watching great artists work. Its ever more amazing to me that we can now watch eachother work from across great distances with the use of the internet and screen capture. Don't give up on doing these, we love it.

Really amazing, man!
wow chris!.. you just keep on amazing me with your skills ..even after watching the video still don't know how you do it haha!
hey..a question, do you ever zoom in for details or extra touches?..i can see you're not..but i gotta ask
cheers ;)
Thanks everyone! I appreciate all the comments.
metahatem- The only reason I didn't zoom was for the purpose of the video. Just to keep the viewing simple. But when not drawing for video, I always zoom in.
It's nice to see how you draw!
Nice Job!
Thanks Ben.
hey Chris,
what program do you use for the time laspe recording?
Hi Chris. On my Mac I use Snapz Pro X. The PC equivalent is Camtasia.
Hi Chris, can u tell me is there a special set of brushes u use in photoshop? Thanks!
Damn that's sweet.
Kollyo- I just use the default brushes (hard round, soft round etc.)
Dominic- Thanks!
Fascinating video. Thanks for posting it. Fantastic image.
Thanks Terry!
Wow! That is absolutely gorgeous! I'm pretty stunned at how confidently you place your strokes. I'm amazed you did no prelim sketching first! Top notch.
Rayford- Thanks man! Fantastic artwork from you too.
I like drawing sometimes without the safety net of roughs, to see if I sink or swim.
Just beautiful. Though I'm reticent to stop drawing using traditional materials, seeing videos like this makes the combination of tablet and Painter look very tempting.
Thanks Bob!
Hello Chris, your art is very good, and funny sometimes! You inspired me to do a redraw of this piece, first just to see if i could keep up with the video :p but then I worked it out into something more detailed. Thanx for sharing.
Oh, the link doesn't appear.. If you click my name you can see it. :)
