Portrait Drawing

I’m really going to have to start scanning my drawings, rather than uploading crummy iphone photos! Anyway, here are the results of my latest practice using Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. I’m decently happy with it!

I can see the proportions of the head aren’t quite right, I ended up squishing things a bit horizontally compared to the original photo. I think I was too worried about making the head too short vertically that I overcompensated, and didn’t give it quite enough depth. I also can’t draw hair for the life of me, or shade things. Even with all that, I am still pretty happy with how things turned out. Not too bad at all for a beginner.

Basically if someone takes a shot of a building from street level, you’re probably going to get the feeling that the building is tilting, that it’s not [...]

Since I’m not really built for the freezing cold weather, I decided to stay in today and try another Photoshop tutorial. I tried this one, manipulating smoke to create images. The lesson uses a the warp tool & images of smoke to create a skull. I decided that it would be more fun to try [...]

To make a long story short, I’ve decided to restart my blog. What began as a simple redesign, ended up with me just scrapping the whole thing and starting fresh. I do love fresh starts, so this is pretty exciting for me.
Anyway, down to business. I am going to try to update my blog once [...]
