Hi everyone! It's Tuesday, I scheduled this post two weeks ago, and right now I am on a remote Scottish island, probably sitting in a chair and devouring The Great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald - since I have to read it before school goes back, it's at the top of my holiday reading list. So that's what I'm probably doing whilst you read this - or maybe I've finished it and am FINALLY sinking my teeth into Rose Under Fire.
For the Emily writing this in real time, before she goes away, this is an exciting prospect.
Anyway, bookish speculation aside, today we're going to talk about portraiture. For a long time I have avoided doing it - because heck, it's hard! - but I've finally bitten the bullet and done a few drawings. There are only three of them - pathetic, really, for an Art Tuesday post - but better few than none, right?? Right.
Questionable hair, it must be said. But I do often struggle with people in profile, so I'm quite happy with this. She looks kinda peaceful, doesn't she? |
Last one, in which I attempted to conquer my fear of using a dark pencil. Her face is very over-dramatic ... but I quite like it. Hehe. |
Right then, that is my pretty soggy excuse for a post! Do you draw - if so, how are you on hands? And portraiture in general? Tell me your thoughts!

They all look so real! Did you drawn them from life or imagination?
ReplyDeleteYou should use darker pencil a lot more, I think it really adds depth to drawings. I am, like, addicted to 8B pencil.
Absolutely lovely! ^_^
Photos, unfortunately. I know. I'm a terrible human.
DeleteIt definitely does, I'm always too scared though! I need to invest in better pencils. 8B is very satisfying.
These are really good! Unfortunately, I have no talent whatsoever when it comes to drawing - stick figures are my "specialty". :)
ReplyDeleteThanks :) xx
DeleteHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYY.
