Tamar WIP 01
Friday, August 20th, 2010
Let me just say that it has been an absolute blessing this past week-point-five to, for the most part, just do my own thing when I want, the way I want. I finally broke out the brushes and found I’m not as rusty as I’d feared. I will soon jump back onto a couple commissioned portraits. But first! This is what I started today. It needs work still, but it’s coming along rather nicely. It’s 9″x12″ oil on canvas board. It’s a portrait of my brother’s gf, based on a photo I’d taken of her when I was in NYC sometime last year. At any rate, it’s still a work-in-progress (WIP), but so far so good.
More later!

Here are a couple of ball pointers from the last two days. Done post work. I’m just now starting to fall in love with my Moleskines. I think we’re moving to second base.
I’ll post more as they appear!

Mas Ball Point Moleskine

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.

Ball Point Moleskine

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:
