My Art Journal

When I first glanced at the last portrait you've painted, I thought it was a photograph! Not a painting! Seriously! Amazing, really amazing!

Thank you *going red*

Oh my goodness you are amazing!!! I went through all 51 pages, half last night an the rest just now. This will be the only art journal thread I will ever open because I am addicted to this. My boyfriend got so mad at me because I was on my phone for 3 hours straight!!

Well I am very flattered to read this - but don't get yourself in trouble with the boyfriend over my art
I will be putting up a work in progress thread fairly soon, as I've had a couple of requests to do so, so keep an eye out for it :)

Dressage Royalty - Gribaldi

A commission

I felt like playing with my charcoal last night. I have never actually tried to draw a person before, so tried to keep it fairly rough and quick to get an idea of how everything pieces together. Maybe I'll keep practicing and do a few more

*jaw drops* this is your first official time drawing a person?? Well here's another reason to be jealous of you!
It looks really good! If anything i'd say the left eye (his left) doesn't quite look slanted back enough...if that makes sense.
But my goodness girl, this looks great!
Good luck on your new adventure. I've been working on people for a few years now, it's a challenge!
Can't wait to see more!

Yep, have never done one before :S
His left eye was really bugging me, but I didn't bother altering it seeing as I was just having a play, sitting in bed at 1am haha, didn't get the pupil and iris right either!
Much prefer my animals in pastel, but it's good to branch out a bit so I might as well play with it and see what happens from there

I think it's funny how things can bug you to no end on a drawing. But the right eye looks great. The shadow from the eyelid...the highlight in the iris. That one looks spot on.
For playing around you did a great job!
