Here are some more ball point portraits. In order of appearance: Monica Bellucci, Dakota “Rawhide” Tayler, Émilie Dequenne. Some of you may notice a strong resemblance between Dakota and Émilie. That is because she was the initial inspiration from Dakota. Now you know. Use your new knowledge well my friends.

A couple portraits I just did in my sketchbook. I decided I’d go with someone that’s relatively easy to get a likeness of and move on from there. I am also a bit bored with pencil, so I went with a ball point. It works in a similar fashion, but it still forces me to be more direct:

Here’s another Art Rage speedy. But this was longer than the last one obviously. Still pushing the whole likeness thing:
Looking at it now, her eyes ended up too far apart by just a touch. C’est la vie. On to the next one.

So, after having done a couple alla prima painting in the last two weeks, I have realized I’m a little rusty on the whole likeness angle. This is an odd place for me as likenesses have always come pretty readily for me. I figure the only way to shake this rust off is to practice. So here is a 20 minute speedy done in Art Rage Studio Pro 3.0. This is actual size as it was more about getting a likeness quickly rather than getting into details. It was about 90% successful.

I’ll be doing more for sure.
