Singer and acress Ashlee Simpson. Done with watercolour pencils. For those not familiar with watercolour pencils you draw on the paper like normaly, then you take a brush with water and flaten out the surfaces. Half this picture was made using a q-tip though, didn't have any brushes at that time :P Had to go buy them the next day.
The intresting thing about watercolours is that the code of conduct is the exact opposite of let's say oil paintings or normal graphite drawings. Since the colour is all transparent you must do the lightest parts first and then paint over with shadows and such. Once painted on it's there, can't be erased or painted over (many frustrated moments here...)
The skin tone was made by blending various yellow, brown and red parts since there wasn't a "skin-colour pencil". So yeah tis was my first attempt at a coloured portrait. It was definitely very fun and a lot faster than a graphite drawing. The whole thing was done in about five-six hours I estimate.
