Other Portraits 3

My middle son's basketball coach and the coach's girlfriend. The first one, I did it from a photo. The second one, it was life drawing with her posing for me for 10 mins.

A color experiment gone awry. I put blue down thinking that putting orange on would give it a zing but it turned green. So I had to put elf ears on this kid to account for his strange skin tone. LOL. I've redone this kid with pan pastel.

Some quick sketches testing some new Wolff carbon pencils.

I did this one at work tonight. A bit of an exaggeration of her features and expression but not rendering her too ugly. Col-Erase colored pencils.

The first one is Pentel Pocket Calligraphy brushpen and the second one is Col-Erase Colored Pencils.

OMG, I was testing out my Cretacolor Chunky Charcoal - colored charcoal in 1/2 diameter sticks on some rough paper and it's so good. And this Italian shoemaker on Wallstreet Journal is just too pretty to pass up. He could be a lover to one of my lovebirds in my fan fiction!!!

Some more minimal art. My daughter loves the third one. I like them all.

I am now into reducing the portraits into minimal lines. This one is done in one minute and I think it looks fabulous. A self pat on my back. I don't think many people at Wetcanvas do minimal art like I do yet.  This is based on a photo of very old vintage stars of the 40's in black and white.

The grandmother of my son's good friend came to our house. She sat on my couch and she could take up 2 seat space and has triple chin. While I drew her, she kept talking and moving her head and in the end asked me to give her a young girl's body. Hahaha...here it is.

This girl took me an hour to design from scratch. One of these days, she will the main character of my story.

I was sketching a pretty star but I kept falling asleep and made her into an old woman instead. LOL. Derwent Drawing Pencils.
