It looks a little bit like Catherine Zeta Jones...

Diane Lane?

I think part of the issue with the face is the nose: it's shifted a little too far to the right - in particular, the white spot at the "point", or whatever you want to call that part at the bottom between the nostrils, could be reshaped a little so that there's more of it to the left. Also, the left nostril (her right one, that is) looks a bit too large compared to the other one; I think part of that is the shading effect, but using a softer grey instead of the black to shade it in would fit better with the rest of the drawing.

As for who it is... Ehh, I fail... If it's a celebrity, well, I rarely watch television... ;>_>

waw i liked the nose it look perfect
(you know ? i think you can learn how to draw both anime and realistic )
hey your drawing is good

no no NOOOOOOOO O[]O/

Is it...you? *wink*

Anyhoo, the picture looks good. I don't know if replicating someone verbatim is a good yardstick for awesomeness, since you pulled this off pretty good.

I still don't mind knowing who it is, though.

On another note, you are my own personal god.

lol. nope. I'M prettier XD Totally agree with you, being able to copy something isn't the talent of a great artist, though I used to think it was. Looking back at my old art, I can see that I was able to copy animals and Disney characters with pretty high precision, but when it came to drawing from my own imagination, I fell pretty short. That's still often the case, which really rams the point home to me that I haven't improved as much as I would like.

Still, I'm hoping that by copying from real life, I'm forcing myself to examine details that I would otherwise miss. Then maybe I'll be able to transfer what I've learned to my comic and other artwork.

Usually I hate noses (which is why cartoons are so nice because they rarely have "actual" noses) ... but I'm proud with how this one turned out. Had to tweak it quite a bit.

Yeah...I noticed that about the nose positioning early on, but when I tried to rectify it, I had a bit of trouble because I wanted to maintain that straight curve of her nose - which is really what makes or breaks the perspective of the head (straight on and slightly chin up). I had some trouble with the placement of everything on her face ... her head's a bit too wide for the relative size of her features, I think.

As for the shading, the original pic was interesting in that the right side of her face was nearly completely in shadow. So I wanted to see how well I could replicate that without it seeming too bizarre.

Gotta keep fiddling.

Isn't she blonde? No wait. ... I'm thinking Diane Keaton. *imdb's Diane Lane* Never seen her before But she's also blonde. I'm surprised no one has guessed Elisha Cuthbert yet (even though she's blonde too, cuz I totally thought it looked like her ... even though it isn't
