Hello everyone! I think I've actually fallen in love with Blogger! I've been going around exploring the little world of Blogger and seeing new bloggers, I'm definitely getting used to it. Last week I assigned a diary to keep all my blog ideas and plans organised. There is so much that I'd like to share with you all, my mind is like a piñata right now. Ready to let out all the ideas (not candies) that are filled in. But only if I had the time.
As promised, I'm going to share the portrait I made in this post. I have never really been comfortable with see-and-draw form of art, so portraits are not my thing. The last time I tried one, I laughed at myself. Usually all my drawings are just images out of my imagination. But this try turned out to be half as good as the original which made me a happy bunny (aren't bunnies always happy?).
The picture is not too clear as it is clicked from my mobile cam. I know this is not near best and I really need a lot of brushing up, but one step at a time. And this seemed worth sharing with all of you. Tell me if you liked this portrait of Halle Berry (can you actually tell it is her?). Also, I have used oil pastels here, and not soft pastels. I love how vibrant and lively pictures look when filled in with oil pastels. As I said in my previous post, they are my second favourite colouring medium.
I found this amazing tutorial on Youtube by ThePortraitArt who made it seem like a two-minute task to create a portrait. If you are a beginner then Youtube is the place for you. There's a lot you can learn and pick up from there. It always helps to observe the stroking and colour-merging methods of different artists.
Thank you if you read this post. :)
