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.
