So, these are a taste of the portraits I've done since January. For me its fun to look at the first and last ones...its like my hand has grown from a stumbling caterpillar into a little butterfly fluttering it's wings trying to fly. (and now I'm done with the cheesy metaphors) Anyway, if anyone actually reads this, and for some reason has a fiery passion to be drawn and wouldn't mind sitting still for maybe 3 hours, let me know!! I always need some faces to draw. Hopefully while I'm abroad I will meet some lovely people who will sit for me... for free. That's the dream.
Anyway, in my portraits I try my best to draw people as I see them. I try to find them and capture who they are to me on paper. I question my drawings because I am never really sure if I have found my subject yet. It's a very odd, slightly philosophical process of problem solving and drawing lines...and listening to some good tunes.
Oh! And I took all of these pictures on my cell phone (because my camera died) so unfortunately these are the only photos I have 'till I am back in Spokane.
So, I haven't named this painting yet. But whatever! Naming things is for another day. Here's the whole step by step process, this one took me the month of June.
