Portrait #9

Portrait #9, a photo by Emmy Cheeseburger on Flickr.

9 of 100 portraits are complete! I decided that every tenth picture, I want to draw a famous person. I accepted the suggestion of Westley from the Princess Bride. We found a picture of confusion as Westley lies, strapped to the torture device. "It's the pit of despair. Don't even..." *hack hack* "Don't even think about escaping."

Oh me! Oh my! It's me!

Self portrait done! I finished this just in time to put it in my display yesterday for my project fair. The genuine interest was a bigger compliment than anything anyone said (although that was nice too).

Vyla

This was my first portrait of someone that I actually knew. I was super nervous to start it and knew that it had to be just right. So you can imagine my relief when people would look over my shoulder and ask, "Is that Vyla?"

Jinkies! I lost my glasses!

I finished this drawing while watching the Von Trapp family (the real family AND the cast) on Oprah. Two fun things at once. I declare it a good day!

The Fiddler (not) on the Roof

I haven't been able to do much of my drawing lately with all the art projects but I did manage to get this guy done AND read my book for an hour too!

100king to Improve 4/100

I thought it would be neat if I showed the development of this portrait in the 4 stages I drew it in. There are things that I don't like about it, such as her eyes being too far apart and the fact that she looks bald, but as a whole I'm pretty pleased with it!

100king to Improve 3/100

Here he is. The finished project. In the darkest spots I used charcoal but everything else was done with my handy-dandy mechanical pencil. He smells nice too! (I had to spray him with hair spray so the charcoal wouldn't all rub off)

100king to Improve 2.5/100

I love this man. I don't know who he is, but I love him. Most of all I love his face. This is the face that changed my opinion about wrinkles. I love them! I can't wait to get them! They give a face character and it's so much more fun to draw a face full of wrinkles and laugh lines than a smooth super model. If you draw one of each and set them next to each other, which one do you think that people are going to love? The most beautiful one, of course! The one full of wrinkles!

He's a WIP, I really need to get back to work on him. Actually, I think I'll go do that right about...now.

100king to Improve 2/100

Everybody, meet The Walrus Man. Every time I look at this picture I shake my head, not because I did such a bad job but because this is really what the man looked like. Like a walrus.

Freckles 1/100

So I've joined my mom's challenge group called 100king to Improve and I've decided to draw 100 faces. I think when I've drawn them all, my last one will be someone famous. Maybe Tom Hanks...or Salman Kahn, but not many people know him. Or...I don't know, I can't think of anyone else. Who do you think I should draw?
