Famous Faces – Leslie Manville

Sharing some of my process. I found this one tricky. A beautiful complexion with a few visible signs of ageing (not many) means you have to tread a find line. Leslie has such a distinctive and humorous mouth and I struggled to capture it. The crayons struggled to create the dark blacks so I used some ink in the shadows. A4 ink pen and coloured pencil on Strathmore Grey.
