selfportrait
me in front of the mirror again. this time painting. i am more a drawer than a painter though this time i started without a previous drawing, not even with the brush. i just started filling spaces with painting and just that, tried to observe shapes with similar colours and values, though i used a strange palette, i mean not the real ones but with a grayish one. it's three in the morning now, i should take a better photo during the daylight i know, anyway...

portrait sketch
cleaning piles of papers i just found this old sketch i had made out of a drawing magazine photo, i guess i did it about 4 years ago. i see his eyes aren't lined either, apparently it's something i should put more attention as i did it too in my last selfportrait.

selfportrait
once more, me facing a mirror, this time oil pastels and turpentine to blend at hand... (I should use cleaner colours but i can't help mixing and using dirty ones, haha). I was too tired when i did it so now i realized my eyes are in a different line but the idea was to also not add too much details. i tried to make it using shapes and not using lines i mean rather pictorial than drawing

sting portrait
an attempt to do a portrait of someone famous. colour pencils, not watercolour pencils this time, i tried some new ones. i need more practice, that equals TIME. later i'll if i can find who the rights of the origunal pic belong to, then add it here, as obviously i didn't take it ;)

CD cover portrait
finally today I received a copy of this CD by an argentinian folklore musician (piano player), with a portrait i drew back in 2005 after an old b&w photo of him. thanks to my friend Karina who knows the producer and got the link for me to do the illustration.
this one was published last december and it can already be seen in internet for sale in a couple of places but I guess in some time it'll be in more sites like the previous ones. this one is the last of the trilogy.
Here's the link to one of the sites where they're selling it. wanna buy one? hahaha

portrait exchange: Ronell (II)

portrait exchange with Ronell - aka "myfrenchkitchen" + "africantapestry"
since sometime ago we've been talking about doing a portrait exchange with Ronell (Africantapestry) she's a fine artist i truly admire, so it's really an honour for me to be working with her in this exchange. finally we sent pics to each other a few days ago. i've started with some sketches to study the shapes, the directions, lights/shadows, etc. later when i have a print in colour of the photos (i have a b&w printer) i'll go to a next step which will be to make some colour versions.
I've been working on all the photos she sent me, and here are the sketches I've done up to now.
This one is in watercolour pencil.
This is in liquid ink pen. The funniest about this one is I did it with a flashlight liying on my bed and the electricity had gone out and it was too early for me to sleep.
This has "invented colours" as I haven't printed the photos in colour yet as I said above. I coloured it as I remember the pic on the email and making it up. I made it darker digitally as it is how it should look like.
this one is obviously a sketch in pencil.
Don't forget to visit Ronell's site at: http://africantapestry.wordpress.com/ and check the portraits of me she's been doing as well as all her wonderful work. Also she has a blog about FOOD ( http://myfrenchkitchen.wordpress.com) where you can also spend a good time over there!
Note to Casey, I'm still waiting for YOUR photos! This is not pressure... is it? hahahaha
