in #art8 years ago

Sabina Altynbekova – dubbed the most beautiful volleyball player in the world or the living anime-girl.

They said she is too beautiful to play volleyball (I said why not?)

This 20 years old Kazakhstani was discovered by international media outlets while representing her country at 2014 Asian Junior Women’s Volleyball Championship in Taiwan. It was said that she was so attractive that it was a distraction to the sport. Fans weren’t even watching the games during the competition and instead just stared at her LOL.

Here are my work-in-progress images of this portrait. I completed this several months ago.

Medium: graphite on A4 paper

Step 1: Outlining

Step 2: Sketching the eyes and nose

wow, so beautiful portrait! Great work, @coloringiship !

Never quite got the hang of the grid method, though I did try that when I was younger. This is wonderful.

I depend on grid like a crutch, but even with grid it's stil not exactly accurate. Need more practice I guess.

Well, I think it works very well and your work is beautiful. I eyeball things and your method seems to turn out a much more realistic portrait.

So lifelike!
