My Learning to Draw Journey Part 1 - Ayesha Dharker


I watched a movie, based on a recommendation from a friend,  called Out Sourced and was intrigued by the lead actress, Ayesha Dharker, so I decided to draw her. My results are shown below.

First, a bit of background on Ms. Dharker (courtesy of Wikipedia)...

Ayesha Dharker (born 16 March 1977) is a British actress, known for her appearance as Queen Jamillia, the Queen of Naboo, in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, and for her stage performances.

Her other film roles include starring as a young woman brainwashed into contemplating becoming a suicide bomber in the Tamil film The Terrorist (1997), for which she was awarded Best Artistic Contribution by an Actress at the Cairo International Film Festival and nominated for a National Film Award for Best Actress.[citation needed]

She has also appeared in Outsourced and The Mistress of Spices, television series such as Arabian Nights, and the West End and Broadway musical Bombay Dreams.

So...this is what I drew...


If you want to learn how to draw I strongly recommend that you check out this book.  If you can't find it at the library you can purchase it new or used at Amazon.com.

About the Author  

RC Bonay is an engineer with a passion for writing and drawing. He started reading comic books at an early age and soon discovered he had a flair for telling stories of his own. As he grew, he dreamed of following in the footsteps of comic book legend, Stan Lee. His passion ebbed and his dream faded as it became necessary to pursue a more traditional lifestyle in order to raise his growing family. The dream was rekindled as the youngest of his four children blossomed into young adulthood. 

RC’s vision is best summed up by his mottos; 

“The world would be a better place if we all just learned to draw.” 

“Learn from the best, forget it all, and just write.”
