Jynxy...

So... I finally realized it's time to started sketching portraits again... Start practicing and get back up to par..... SOOO I ambushed Jynx's pic off his Facebook... and here's what I came up with... I made a mistake on his nose... stupes... and I'm too lazy to fix it. But it's done in pencil.

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

prelimary sketch

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...
