Portrait 10/11/12

I'm please with shading and colors, however I'm a little irritated with her crooked eye...but....what can you do? Better next time!
Her eye should look like this- (used Paint program to move eye) I'm thinking my eraser is coming out.....

Icey Stare-By Natasha

Extremely pleased with the outcome of this drawing! Just finished it minutes ago...should probably go eat dinner! LOL!

Pencil Portrait-9/18/12

Just finished this portrait today! I'm not entirely pleased with this portrait, partially because the photo I chose, the model actually had crooked, uneven eyes! Very hard to draw, as my natural instinct was to make them even! 

Portrait

Someone contacted me and asked me to do her portrait! I think it turned out fairly well. Though I'm not quite sure I captured her likeness. It took me waaaayyy too long to complete this portrait! I started it about three times, and then today I just decided to sit down and do it! And 'voila!

Self Portrait

So I finally got around to doing a self portrait! I've been reluctant to do it...I don't know it just feels weird to sit and stare at myself while drawing! But anyway, I tried it. I'm entirely happy with this drawing, it doesn't look remotely like me. I made the eyes too large and the hands too small for the rest of the portrait. Oh well! I'll do better next time?

Eyes-Retake!

I'm extremely pleased with the progress I've made since November! I have all my latest artwork hanging on my wall, which is a fun way to see artistic progression from month to month!

2012 Drawing #2

I have to say that I'm super happy with how this came out! Although there is always room for improvement, I'm happy with my progression. I find the more I practice, the more confident I am in my drawing. I'm not however very happy with how her cheek shadow came out, it turned out a bit harsher than I intended-oh well! Any other observations?

Lauren Of Someone Like You

I asked Lauren of Someone Like You if I could draw her portrait and she graciously agreed! I'm happy with the out come-though it's not perfect! I find myself constantly looking at finished works, only seeing the flaws. Which can be a good thing. I plan to keep practicing and hopefully get a bit better with my facial proportions.  

Practice Makes Perfect! Art By Natasha

I created this portrait pencil sketch today, I must say I'm quite pleased with the end results! It took several days to finish (like 3). Usually it only takes me a day or so to finish a portrait, however I'm learning to slow down and get it perfectly bleneded. I tend to to want to rush through things and get it finished. So...slooowww down! : ) I also received two pencil sets for my Christmas presents, I've been using one set frequently. The other is a graphite set which I'm excited to start experimenting with.

Eyes Of Mystery

I'm fairly pleased with the results of this drawing, however I'm not pleased with her eye brows-practice makes perfect, right?
