Animated Darren Criss Portrait

Posted on 29/12/2011 by in Art Submission, How To's

I draw portraits a lot. In particular, I’ve made a lot of digital portraits of Darren Criss, which my portfolio will attest to… Sometimes, I like to push my limits on art, and yesterday, I did so when I decided to animate Darren Criss’ face. It was inspired by the surge of popularity of animated GIFs on Tumblr. Little did I know, but it ended up being a rather hellish task to do. In total, I drew eleven frames, one of which I ended up not using.

However difficult it was, I am so very excited that it actually worked out! Below, you can see the animation and a gallery of all the frames for entertainment value.

Fayestardust and Darren CrissI recently went on vacation to America, visiting both Boston and NYC. While I was there, I was fortunate enough to meet some of the people who I’d painted and whose prints are currently in the art book that I made for my portfolio.

I met Jesse Eisenberg and Justin Bartha at their play called Asuncion in New York, and Darren Criss and Joey Richter after their music/musical/theatre performance in Boston.

See their signed portraits, and my photos with them, below.

Painting of Darren Criss.

For some reason, this is the only painting I’ve ever been able to make that’s a little glowy.  I particularly like the background in this painting. Which is a miracle because I usually hate them.

I have several paintings of singer and actor Darren Criss, but this one is by far my favourite.

Even though it’s not as realistic as some of the other paintings I’ve done, I really like the tones of this painting and particularly like his hair. Hair is always the biggest challenge for me in painting. Especially if it’s curly hair.
