portraits

I'm usually bad at portraits or drawing faces in general so I decided to practice a bit more and this was the result of my first serious attempt at a portrait drawing using graphite pencils and black fineliners

A drawing of Amy with her hair braided and tied with a red silk sash.

Kind of proud of this one lol graphite and charcoal

Loving people and nature gives inspiration...

This a self portrait drawing of myself as a younger man, with a lot of shadow play on the portrait itself and a stylized background of a sky, clouds and the sun, rendered in a kind of an imaginary dream-like almost surreal scenario. Many thanks for looking.

For this drawing, I used several reference photos from the early 1900s.

Portrait completed in 2019 featuring Zayn Malik.

This is a pen and ink of my mother from a photo taken this October. No pencil outline and two hours with a .005 micron pen.

I finally attempted to do a drawing completely in ballpoint pen (I faced my fears of messing up). Thank you to my friend for donating their face to this cause, very much appreciated. The drawing isn't 100% accurate, I think we can all agree on that, but a decent first try.
