early pencil sketch. i used one HB pencil to do this (in those days i didn't even know that pencils existed in different shades!), using varying pressure on the paper to get the shade variations.
the pic is actually of sherilyn fenn, but the newspaper review i referred to labelled her as sharon stone, hence the name.

early pencil sketch. being impatient, i always tried to catch the 'feeling', and never bothered to spend too much time on finer details like hair in those days (and it shows!).

Um consider this a a WIP...maybe. See there's more to it, just it doesn't fit in my scanner. (It's 14"x17"). So once I find my camera charger, I'll upload the full version. Until then, this will have to suffice, and the crappy camera phone pic from facebook, for those of you who are one there.

Edit: 5.16.2010 Ok this is as 'finished' as it will ever get. I've worked and re-worked the shading so many times and I'm still not satisfied with the end result. Oh well
