Description

I wanted to sketch Meena Kumari and Madhubala since a very long time, but no image really called to me as such. So when I saw this screen capture from the movie ‘Saheb, Biwi Aur Ghulam’, I instantly began to sketch it. The screen capture is terribly unclear, and so I decided to work with charcoals for a darker look, but that was a mistake.

Anyhow, the image was completed within 10 hours and I worked on different medium surface, heavy weight paper. Started off with a 0.7 mechanical pencil, switched to 5B graphite and then dark charcoal. Blending stumps and cotton balls helped for the shading and vinyl erasers are the best for erasing mistakes. The lips were the most problematic and frankly, I am not completely satisfied with the way the sketch turned out.
