Portrait. I want to keep practicing portraits in all types of media, so I drew this.

I drew this last year. I took a picture of one of my friends and altered the image and added my own twist to it.

Before I knew you. Before I knew your love. Your colour and your light.

I created this using charcoal and a little bit of graphite. It was for my midterm exam for my art class in 2019. I had decided to draw a my best friend for the project.

Late night painting, oil pastels this time. And I just discovered using turpentine! And also how it's really bad for your health...

I actually finally got round to framing this piece I did and hanging it up on my wall the other day, which made me really happy :). Tool used: acrylics, colouring pencils, posca markers on brown A4 card.

This was Emma Thompson in one of my favourite films, Stranger Than Fiction - she is brilliant! I used just colouring pencils in this one to try out a soft, harmonious look, on the background of blue A4 card. I quite like the relationship between the foreground and background in this piece; had the background been white, I don't think it would have worked as well.
