Kina Grannis portrait
In honour of her new album Stairwells, available for download on Itunes and from her store, I've made a digital painting of singer-songwriter Kina Grannis. I previously featured her song Valentine in another post.
Kina has seen the painting and according to her e-mail, she liked it . I'm glad, it's one of the first serious paintings I've done in a while. Let's hope it's first of many new paintings.
Also, expect an album review later today!
Drop of air pressure
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.
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!
