I'm not sure where I was going with this drawing. Sometimes I will start to draw a portrait without really having anyone particular in mind. I think it started off with Avril Lavigne, but it has some Leelee Sobieski, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer in it. Basically, all the weird-looking ones. Friendly advice: I wouldn't look into her eyes for too long.
This is what happens once I'm done drinking, I start drawing the glasses. I'm sure everyone else does it too. And the glass is not a metaphor for life. It's just glass. I have to admit, however, that dealing with the highlights, shadows, middle tones, and reflections of glass really tests your patience.
This is just one of the many drawings of Monica Bellucci that I've done and intend to do. She's been in Tears of the Sun, Malena, The Matrix, The Passion of the Christ, and many more. Probabilmente una delle donne piu belle nel mondo... But maybe that's just me. I think my bro will enjoy this one too.
Drawing self-portraits is not an easy thing to do. You have to look at yourself critically and try to portray something that can't be captured by a photographer. A deeper resemblance, if you will. Although it might look like the opposite, the focus here is on the face, and the clothes have taken a chalky, secondary place. I think I could have spent more time on this one, but drawing yourself is not really as much fun as it might sound.
This is another one of my sketchbook drawings. I could find many little errors in this drawing, but let's focus on the good. I chose it because I really liked the old-fashioned look of this photograph (and the actress isn't too bad-looking either). Some of those things you may notice the most: eyes, mouth, hand, and so forth.
This is probably one of my most well-liked pieces of art. It’s a pencil drawing of a baby sculpture. It took me long, long days to finish. Of course, finding the subject may have taken longer.
Yes, it’s the head of a horse sculpture. It’s another one of those drawings where you have to concentrate on having all the correct proportions and doing justice to the original. I think it looks more impressive if you see it live. On this web page it looks a little creepy. Especially those lifeless eyes.
She's not princess Leia of Star Wars. It’s another one of those sculptures I like to draw. I think she appears to be very life-like if you look at the actual drawing I have at home (like she might open her eyes at any moment). I sure hope she was just sleeping when the sculpture was made and not dead or something.
Although this may not be one of my best drawings, I think it’s cool. I particularly like her hand. I liked the challenge of drawing something like this in a linear perspective (the way the hand looks bigger than the body gives this drawing the illusion of space). Do you know who was known for the greatest perspective sense in his art? That's my good friend, Da Vinci.
