Tanya Branning


Black watercolour pencil in sketchbook - 20 minutes

Another quick portrait from my sofa this evening using the TV magazine as a reference.
This time it's Tanya Branning from my favourite soap 'Eastenders'. That's her character name, I have no idea what her real name is and no real desire to find out to be honest!

I couldn't find a reference of her smiling online but here she is looking rather moody.

The scanner has missed some lighter values here, one of the reasons I rarely sketch in pencil, but you get the idea.

Oh, I thought it was you, but smiling this time!! ;) Seriously, there is a similarity, I'd like to see a smiling self portrait now!

I thought it was you at first as well. Another wonderful sketch.

You're doing lovely portraits lately. I love Mrs doubtfire! We also watched the movie the other night and although it's probably the umpteenth time I saw it, I laugh for exactly the same things and more! Great sketching!
