When the movie "Twilight" came out, I was prepared to hate it but was blown away with the wonderful direction of Catherine Hardwick.
With "New Moon" set to debut next month, my daughter has been collecting fan mags on all the movie stars. I remember Tiger Beat and all those other teen fan magazines. For me it was Davy Jones, for my daughter it's currently "Edward Cullen" played by Robert Pattinson.
I thought it would be fun to "force" myself to study this face ans see what all the fuss is about. Turns out to be one of the easiest sketches I've done in a while!

Sheila, I see your talents lie especially in portraiture! I've not read any of the series, but I've seen this guy in lots of places in mags. I think he looks better in your version! You've caught that sultriness in his eyes! So wonderfully done!
Know nothing about Twilight but love the sketch.
What an excellent sketch!!!
Your sketches are so real.
Great work no crime this time.
Love it!
very nice sketch.
Wow, great job! I am not fan, but I have read the books and I know about the massive fan base. I bet you could make an entire business out of selling character drawings to the fans .
Terrific drawing Sheila!! My daughter has also read them all!
Very nice (and dreamy) drawing! I guess I have to admit that I've read them.
Way too young for me, but ooh la la, you caught those shaggy good looks perfectly! Cool!
Great sketch! I love it! I have seen many vampire movies. My favorite one is "Dracula" by Francis Coppola and Twilight is my next favroite.
You really captured those sexy eyes!
this does show that you appreciated the subject..! beautiful!
Fantastic sketch. You have captured the essence of his personality. Davey Jones? I liked him as well, after Paul McCartney. I still have a scrap book that I made from cutouts of those magazines. How crazy is that?
Wow, I love your sketch. Your rendering style is great! I bet your daughter wants to hang it on her wall.
Such a great sketch. You nailed it!
And I love your blast from the past with Tiger Beat....ya, Davy Jones was high on my list back then too. :D
Sheila!
Sexy sketch!
