The other is portrait number 9. I'm really slow at doing these. The challenge was to do one every day during the month of August but I've changed it to doing 30 no matter how long it takes! I'm pretty happy with this one although once again, it doesn't look like me or the other portraits! My eyes are too big but at least I got the head shape better. And the nose is better too! Wish it looked like me though!
Everyone ready for fall to come? I've had enough of this summer between snakes and the heat. I think everyone has had lots of heat this year and many of you got Irened too. I hope all of you did okay through her rage up the East Coast.
Love the doggie drawing...and you are making great progress on your portraiture! Nice!!!
ReplyDeleteSambo is adorable! Love the background, too, great colors, and great constrast. Your portrait is great, you look like I imagine you from the other portraits and the gentle and joyful feeling I get from your posts and comments = lovely, fun person!
ReplyDeleteThe sketch of Sambo is just adorable! What a cutie!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy seeing your portraits... each one has a different aspect of you! The sketch of Sambo is so cute.
ReplyDeleteThankyou everyone. I've got more portraits to go. I hope to get better. At least this challenge got me drawing faces.
ReplyDeleteWonderful portrait! You are getting really good at faces! (nice sketch of Sambo too!)
ReplyDelete...I love the background on Sambo's portrait! I've never tried a self-portrait. My son did last year, and his was fab. One of these days. I'm still trying to get my birds down! :-)
ReplyDeleteI never heard of the pen you're talking about, but Sambo looks great! I admire how you use so many different mediums to get the effects you're after. I think you've got the right idea to complete 30 portraits in whatever time frame is best for you. I admire how you continue to push yourself with your art and learn more and more with each piece you do. Your portrait here is very well done!
ReplyDeletethis looks great! i find portraits so hard to do!
ReplyDeletewonderful to see both of your pieces. Each so different and great to see. See you in Jane's class!

ReplyDeleteYou are so busy, always drawing! It's amazing and wonderful. Love your dog! And you do NOT have a monkey face!! Good work!
Oh I love the colors and the painting. My dogs always move if I start painting or drawing them. Do you like acrylic?
ReplyDeleteLove the portraits of yourself and your dog. Animals are tough because they barely stay still for a photo, let alone a sketch! I can see your progress in the portraits, too.
ReplyDeleteLOL Freebird. You made me laugh with your comment on my blog!
