Good morning friends & Happy Saturday!!
I know this day is usually super busy for everyone, but for me it's my day to catch up on emails, read blogs, stay in my PJ's and have serious cuddle time with the dogs.
Before I attempt to accomplish those things, I wanted to share with you my sketch from the week!
Let me just first say that I'm not as pleased with this one :/ The hands didn't come out right so I Photoshopped them out (must practice those), I messed with charcoal this time so it's not as detailed, and I'm not sure about the likeness, but you can be the judge of that.
Even with my shortcomings, I really loved drawing little miss
Even though it's not my best work, this series is helping me to reconnect with my art supplies again and just doing that is so enjoyable for me! There is nothing better than getting curled up on the couch late at night with my sketch pad and pencils listening to Pink Floyd and Pearl Jam like I did in my 4-hour drawings classes at USU.
I have to remind myself these are for my own practice, so I apologize if they don't come out exactly how you imagined! What I really enjoyed was the photo she sent me- it's fun and playful and inspired me to step away from the pencil and play with charcoal again. Thanks Lily for inspiring me draw you!
I even went a couple steps further and played with the Filter Gallery in Photoshop.
I prefer some of these more than the original, what do you think?
Annnd since these are fun and it seems you might be enjoying them, I decided to make a little grab button to show off on your sidebar. It will link directly to the post with your drawing!
yaaaay, so excited, thanks for the email!
ReplyDeleteObvious likeness, you're way too harsh a critic on yourself. Nothing better than art-ing to Pearl Jam!! Love a bit of "10" while I'm painting x
ReplyDeleteFound you from Aunie Sauce blog, thought your "bitch please" comment was pretty comical. Glad to see your blog is just as entertaining!

I think you did a GREAT job! Her eyebrows look a bit different to me, but I don't think you're giving yourself enough credit!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm excited to be able to add a button to my sidebar from my sketch post! (I'll be sure to update the link to my post.) YAY!
Haha you're crazy! The drawing looks great! If you are "rusty" and drawing like this I cannot wait too see the drawings that come later on
ReplyDeleteThis is LOVELY!! I absolutely love it!! Thanks sooo much:) And thanks for the button too:D

ReplyDeleteYou're so modest. You did a great job.
ReplyDeleteWow! That sketch is really good, you are a great artist. I love those extra four pictures on photoshop. How do I get sketches of me and my baby from you??

ReplyDeleteYou draw beautifully, and have reminded me that I have a sketch pad and pencils! Thank you. Hope you had a happy weekend. Love Elle xo
ReplyDeleteWow! I can't get over how good you are at this! I instantly knew who that was a picture of before I even read it - that's definitely the sign of a good artist. You should sell custom portraits for people's blogs. If you've ever seen Moorea Seal's blog, she does that. Although I think I like your style better. ;)
ReplyDeleteoooh charcoal is awesome! I love how you did the hair.
ReplyDeleteSnuggling on the couch with doggies? In pajamas? Sounds like a perfect day to me!
ReplyDeleteThat portrait is great! Definitely looks like her. I'm always amazed at people who can draw well -- it seems like a magical power to me. <3
