FOLLOW ME TO
MY NEW ART BLOG HERE I would love your company.

A New Year and a New beginning... I have created a new blog filled with old and new art. It is time for me to focus on something new. I will be leaving this blog open for inspiration and so I can look back at what I have achieved in the future but I will be adding no further content here.

Face attempt no 2

Well this was my second go at a sketched face with colour and though I think she is looking a wee bit more realistic she's still not quite right. I gave myself a hard time over her nose but I think it looks a bit more 3d than the last one...lol

The distress inks are fab to add colour with my waterbrush and I think I am going to be using them a lot because they are sooooo easy to use. This little lady had a butterfly in her hair but I had to remove it to scan her (no batteries in camera) so I will share my page again with you when I have finished it. Constructive criticism welcome :D
Have a great day
hugs

This is perfect, Chris!

Absolutely stunning Chris! She is beautiful and I love her nose! Love the way you have coloured her. I think if you really did want to make a very small adjustment you could give her chin a little more definition x

This is gorgeous! I really love your style! The eyes are stunning. Great effect with the inks around the image. Wonderful!

She has the look of Angela Rippon about her, me thinks?!
I haven't drawn a portrait in an awful lot of years as I got so fed up with them not looking right or as I imagined them, so I am so glad you haven't given up, I was always told practice practice practice. Not that that is an awful lot of help though.
Have you looked at Suzi Blu http://suziblu.typepad.com/ and Sharon Thomlinsons http://allnorahsart.blogspot.com/
portrait internet courses??
I'm going to do one of them later in the year I hope. They both look good.

Sounds like the onion didn't work then?
