Description

----------------------------------------------------------
Ok so I fixed it and now it looks a lot better compare to how it was. Originally the tones and values simply weren't visible so I retouched it and re-uploaded.
-----------------------------------------------------------

My fourth of the Celebrity Drawing Series.
Dame Elizabeth Rosemond "Liz" Taylor (February 27, 1932 – March 23, 2011)

After working with my "Winter Gothic" portrait, I found that I love the idea of adding one color only to a black and white drawing, many do it, Frank Miller is one famous for it. So I decided to continue and explore that method with her eyes, it's not something noticeable at first but it's there, violet eyes.

One thing about this is that I completely regret not doing this in Time-laps. I just didn't think it would come out so good. I did at least take pics of the of the phases. For the next one I'll make sure to do it in time-laps and upload it on Youtube.
