I just bought new pencil crayons..

so... a sketch of me.
a sketch of flowers..

Renata

(July, 08)

I made arguably a mistake on one of her cheeks. However, in the moment I was sketching it, this is how she looked to me... and her face was into the pillow, and I'm assuming gravity would flatten the cheek a bit. Such a willing model. My other defense is... the ink. It's not reversible as with pencil.

Ray

(21/06/08)

Ray is one of my fave male models to use.
Most of the time he isn't aware that I'm
drawing him though. He has nice sketchable
features on a young, still boyish face.
So... he's perfect for practice.
I made him look a tad older..
hmm...

Squirrels

Click on photo to enlarge...
I did fur detail..

I took the pics with a camera
as opposed to a scanner
so I was messing with the
editing options on the comp
to get it right...

Viola.. the colour is a bit more
brighter than this.

Soucouyant

This started off as a portrait attempt on black paper.

I just bought the black paper sketchbook... and this is my first (attempt) portrait on black paper... I got frustrated using the tedious pencil crayons so.... it doesn't look like the person, and I cheated and used a touch of soft pastels to level the colour...

I think it looks like a ligaroo... or soucouyant... hence the title.

Initial laying of colour...

Rising

This is what happens when you take too long to upload pics onto your comp... You forget and by the time you actually upload it, you realize it's been months...

Oh well.

This is a painting I did for an exhibition called "Rising".

The final piece cuts it in half down the center. I have two sets of photos posted because I found it interesting how the background influences the painting.
