was 55 when, astride her horse, she watched the British Navy defeat the Spanish Armada. Cate Blanchett was in her 30's when she did the movie. This is really frustrating because every couple of minutes the drawing tools just stop working for about 10 seconds. I don't know if it's my computer or what but it sure makes drawing a pain in the butt. The real QE1 was swarthy with reddish hair and brown eyes, a hooked nose and thin lips.
Here's a link to the ref photo.

This guy reminds me of some guy who played in an old tv series.....I can't remember what the name of the show was, but it was a cop show, and this guy played a cop.....I think I do remember what show it was......it was called "The Streets of San Francisco".....and the guy I'm thinking of is Karl Malden.....he has that same kind of nose that the guy in this draw has...."lol".....cool draw....:)

I don't blame you. All these centuries after school and I can still remember having homework and not wanting to do it.

enjoydotcom (Apr 20, 2010)

Lol, looking out of the windows, or just reading nice books instead of studying :D. Setting the alarm really early because you had to turn in an assignment, you had only known for 4 weeks about.

vlad.the.hamster (Apr 20, 2010)

haha, thank you everyone!
Well, I'm gonna be pulling an all-nighter to finish my essay tonight, as I was procrastinating all of yesterday. XD
And waking up super early to do the other homework due tomorrow that I didn't do. lol. and then going to bed early and sleeping until 'till noon for Thursday. XD

I like this, the only thing that bugs me at all is the teeth, they seem a little out of line with the picture. But you did a great job nonetheless. I like the painted feel.

davincipoppalag (Apr 19, 2010)

OMG that gives me the creeps.. those things send me runnin!

firecracker (Apr 20, 2010)

I like this pic too.....very good!!! :)

Jimbob (Apr 20, 2010)

Cheers guys... I can't find a direct link to the ref but it's a dog with the side of its face pressed to the ground. Plus, I can't stress enough how inspiring some of these tumblr blogs are... if you are ever in need of something new to draw...
