Copic markers and a young Elizabeth Taylor

More sketching with my copics, but I really need to buy many more colours. This was very challenging with her skin tone. I am hooked on old Hollywood and the icons of the silver screen and anything vintage. Elizabeth Taylor has always been a favourite of mine and I want to capture her utter beauty and strong presence of feminine. More of Elizabeth to come.
