Drop of air pressure

ryanreynolds I totally forgot that I had started on another painting very intently with no intention of ever uploading it because I had lazily traced the outlines of a photograph, just wanting to practice colouring. Especially hair. Then I got bored and dropped everything altogether, as if there was a sudden loss of air pressure. Thought I'd put it up anyway... It's Ryan Reynolds, an actor who stars in The Proposal alongside Sandra Bullock. Brilliant comedy acting.

Changing styles

As you may well have noticed, especially if you have been following me for a while, is that my style in art is changing. I used to paint very detailed photo-realistic portraits, but whether it's lack of time, or lack of interest, I've gone back to sketching, and more illustrative images. I'm probably not as good at it as I am at the portraits, but it is more satisfying to do.

Magic Tree Today, I've painted a tree. Hope you like. It's sort of fairytale-ish and almost eerie. I started out just wanting it to be really creepy and horror like, but unsurprisingly, I am not capable of drawing anything remotely scary. I want to draw more in this style, and that's where you come in. I'm looking for ideas, assignments, if you will. So, you can tell me what to draw! It's like a commission, only you don't have to pay for it!

Once I’m Into Something…

There is no way back, apparently. Here's another drawing of Chris Pine, because I want to see how long I can draw the same person over and over and still have a likeness to the person, and before I go insane. My favorite thing to draw? His nose! Haha!

Chris Pine

I seem to have a slight obsession with a certain Star Trek film. My inspiration just got sparked. I drew Chris Pine, who plays Captain Kirk in the film, in my previous post. And Oops! ...I did it again! Life's a funny thing sometimes! (Image now deleted, though!)

The film, by the way, is a good one to see. You don't have to be a 'Trekkie' to see it, believe me, I'm not. It's got good acting, good special effects, good looking men (if you're into that) and women (if you prefer them), a good plot and a very classic soundtrek (see what I did there?).
