I finally do it! I have been thinking for a long time about making a portrait of my favourite european actress and on of my favourites of all times.
It's my firs try to make an hiperrealistic portrait.

Sofía Villani Scicolone (Rome, Italy, September 20th, 1934), A.K.A. Sophia Loren, is an italian actress who wins lots of awards, like an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in the film "Two Women" in 1962. She was the first non-English-speaking actress who won an Academy Award.

She is one of the best european actresses performing great films like "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow", "Marriage Italian-Style" or "A Special Day". She also gets success out of Europe, in Hollywood making lots of films but her best works are in Italy.
