Med Legal Portrait Stage 1

I have to paint a portrait of a 16 year old girl. I decided to paint my bestest of the best, Benny! Sadly, I just copied from a picture of her so I can't take much credit for it.

I have NO idea how to paint in photoshop... I am just putting blobs of colour down and trying to find the major colours and tones of her face. I think it is looking pretty cool so far... I have much more to go still though!

Enjoy!

Pumpkins!

Dan and I went to Hutchinson Farm yesterday to pick out pumpkins! I was inspired to draw even though there was no one there but us and it was cold and rainy.

Dan and I went to visit my sister's family and my brother. We had a lot of fun and both my sister and brother wanted to try out their mad art skills! Below are their portraits of me. The one on the left is by my sister, Alison. Right is by my brother, Jason. I was surprised at how great my sister's was, she was always very talented in art when we were younger. She did it in about 5 minutes... and after 10+ years of no practice, I think it looks pretty great!

A couple weekends ago, Dan and I decided to go out and draw people. Of course is was about 11pm on a Friday night, so we figured mall sketching was a no go. We ended up sitting outside of a nightclub and just drawing people there. Surprisingly, no one really minded us! The girl below wearing only her underwear was modelling in front of cars while some little old man took pictures. We took full advantage of her poses!

Last but not least is a bunch of random stuff I have done...

Enjoy :)

Couldn't resist!

Dan and I went for a drive around tonight just for fun after watching Thumbalina... Dan didn't like the movie... or my singing... These are really just for fun :)
