Fantastic blending and detailing. I'm blown away by the likeness in your portraits. How do you do that? Pure observation and mad skills? Gridding? Guide lines?
It takes some practice and good eye to get the likeness. Just keep practicing as much as you can and the likeness should come
Grid, fantastic hateful grid. The last time I drew a portrait I rushed the outlines and when I finished it, it looked askew and weird; teached me right.
Yes, I'll keep on practicing 'till I get it straight!!!!
Have you heard that Picasso story?
Legend has it that Pablo Picasso was sketching in the park when a woman approached him.
“It’s you — Picasso, the great artist! Oh, you must sketch my portrait! I insist.”
So Picasso agreed to sketch her. After studying her for a moment, he used a single pencil stroke to create her portrait. He handed the woman his work of art.
“It’s perfect!” she gushed. “You managed to capture my essence with one stroke, in one moment. Thank you! How much do I owe you?”
“Five thousand dollars,” the artist replied.
“B-b-but, what?” the woman sputtered. “How could you want so much money for this picture? It only took you a second to draw it!”
To which Picasso responded, “Madame, it took me my entire life.”
I think it pretty much sums up the whole practices makes perfect...
The outlines are very very important and not matter how many of us hate drawing them we should always try to do the right because the whole drawing depends on them.
I haven't heard it until now. It's a great story!
It is a great story! One of my favorite to tell clients or people that comment on how fast I do something... it's a fantastic way of explaining that it does take more than just the few minutes they saw of work.
