Blood will Flow

Blimey! First completed drawesome challenge for an AGE!

I combined this one with the Sky Portrait Artist of the Week, and tried to draw dancer Oti Mabusi. It's not quite right as a likeness, but I kind of like it all the same. I tried the technique of not sketching the features at all, but starting with all the lightest areas, and amazingly, the proportions actually worked. (Mostly)

I've been working on sculpture trail designs for a while now with lots of deadlines coming up, and I'm feeling all designed out. So last night I started an experimental coloured pencil drawing of Jensen, from the photo on the cover of the calendar the lovely Viv gave me for Christmas. I'd bought an indigo Derwent Procolour sample pencil for a penny as an add on to an order for various other art supplies, so thought I might as well use it.
I rather like it!

I added the reds, yellows and oranges from a Prismacolour set, and decided to stop while I was winning. LOL
Here's the finished Jensen( Read more... )

I thought I'd have a go at digital painting again, very experimental. I wish I could do something more brushstrokey and loose. Maybe I'll get there if I practice more.

Anyhow here's the start of a Sam portrait. Or Jared. But probably Sam.

I'm trying to sort of out what to get signed at Jus in Bello and Asylum 10 and so I've done a digital portrait of Benny/Ty Olsson.( Picture under the cut )
