Emmanuelle Beart
Emmanuelle Beart. I saw the picture in STYLE magazine which my parents receive every sunday with the newspaper and instantly wanted to take up the challenge. Beart has, I believe, very unique lips and eyes and I wanted to see if I could capture her in pencil.
I'm pretty proud of the result, but admittedly it could be better. It took me several hours, but it was worth it.

I like this drawing, although I don't know who she is. I hope there are more where that drawing came from!
nice!
I have no idea who this woman is. I just remember thinking what a unique person she looked like. I think she's a french actress. I casually saw a picture of her on one of the Sight and Sounds mags back home and it rung a bell so I thought I'd put this one up.
Emmanuelle Béart was born August 14, 1963 in Saint Tropez, France. She lived together with her brothers and sisters on a farm in Gassin not far from Saint Tropez in the Provence (southern France) because her father, French singer and poet Guy Béart, didn't want Emanuelle be effected by the glamour world of Paris. When she was 13, she saw Romy Schneider playing in the movie Mado (1976). From that time on, she wanted to be an actress. Her parents sent her for three years to Montreal in Canada. So she could learn English. However, in Montreal, she was engaged for a Robert Altman movie that was never made. After returning to France, she took drama classes and got her first TV-role in Raison perdue (1984) (TV). David Hamilton, the photographer/director, was impressed by her beauty and gave her a role in Premiers désirs (1983). She met her spouse, Daniel Auteuil, making Amour en douce, L' (1985). The film which made her famous in France was Manon des sources (1986). She played the role of a blonde shepherd dancing nude in the fields. Director Tom McLoughlin choose her out of 5000 candidates for her first Hollywood picture, Date with an Angel (1987). Emmanuelle is a very sensitive and a perfectionist. For the part of Camille in the film Un coeur en hiver (1992), she had taken violin lessons for a whole year. Her biggest success was the art film Belle noiseuse, La (1991) with Michel Piccoli, directed by Jacques Rivette, as a nude model.
Either Google has come in extremely useful for us here, or you have an incredible knowledge of the woman!.....(that was meant in a good way lol)
Thank you :)
I'm not entirely sure why, but I never really concentrate on the person I'm drawing's background and such. I think it's because if I learn more about them, I don't feel I've done their image justice.
If they're just another person I don't know, I feel I can get away with anything...so to speak.
(Im not entirely sure if this comment makes sense, but I had a need to comment on that above post from Gladiator)
I took it from Internet Movie data Base. That was all.
Cheater! ;)
(I can talk, IMDB got me through my Disseration!)
who DIDN'T use as many search engines and such at uni!! We were told not to use Google and another system they had at uni specifically for study, but it was IMPOSSIBLE finding anything which was relevant to what we were studying. I read one report...it looked like a physics assigment on an english question. Either it was a bastard to understand or I'm dense as hell!
