Closeups of this portrait

Some people asked me about the hair - my advice would be to shade it like waves of water. Try shading it with lines at 45-90 deg angle to the direction the hair is going & add a few loose strokes here and there (with both pencil and rubber). Don't shade it with lines too close too each other, as hair tend to be highly reflective and look different at any given spot, they don't come in careful, consistent shading. Shading it with loose, parallel lines keep the "wavy" feeling while simulating the texture in a feasible manner (as trying to recreate every strand of hair is just impossible, we have to go for recreating the "feeling" of hair).

The results might surprise you 🌊

“At the end of the day, that’s what acting is all about. You almost create this infinite universe for the character that you’re playing and then you’re compromising it into the story that you’re doing. Whatever character you’re playing, you kind of explore endlessly more than what’s on the page. You use that exploration to do the performance that’s in the film, but hopefully, people will see all that work and preparation in those little glimpses of scenes and moments. Oh, there’s something there. There’s so much more happening with this character. If people watch the film a couple of times, they’ll see into and understand my Pennywise more and more.“
