My digital portrait of Linda Cardellini as Judy Hale (Dead to Me)
Been practicing drawing digital portraits and chose Linda Cardellini as Judy Hale in Dead to Me. Saw the Netflix series in September 2019 and enjoyed it a whole lot, then became a Linda fan in early 2020. She has fantastic acting skills. I love how expressive she is when acting, down to the microexpressions, and her range is amazing! 🤩 It was only by then that I realized Linda has been in a lot of movies that I've seen but didn't know it was her. To prove my point, what I've seen: Velma in Scooby-Doo, Chutney (the perm lady) in Legally Blonde, Joan Smith in The Founder, and Laura Barton in Avengers. And some of what others may have seen: Lindsey Weir in Freaks and Geeks, Sam Taggart in ER, Sara Whitaker in Daddy's Home, Sylvia Rosen in Mad Men, and she voiced Wendy Corduroy in Gravity Falls. 😁 Anywho, Dead to Me and Judy Hale has a personal significant meaning for me. ❤ Going into the drawing, I have to say I really learned a lot in doing this portrait. I got stumped a few times, didn't know how to proceed, and thought I bit off more than I can chew. It was really challenging drawing this (precisely why I chose this particular picture to draw in the first place). I kept at it, worked on it several days and nights, and eventually finished it. I saw which parts require a lot of patience and time to do. I'm quite satisfied with this practice, but I have more to learn. When I feel confident enough, I'm likely to accept digital portrait commissions. 😃
