I have been inspired to share some of my artwork after spending some time in the Art Forum.
In viewing Piqual3because14's paintings, and Starwise's digital artwork and also GreyEagle and Skulla's work - I wanted to share.
This piece is a portrait of my youngest child - it's a newborn portrait (he was born just shy of 10pds).
These next two pieces are also portrait art of famous people.
Here is Audrey
Kiera Knightly.
And here is a doodle of mine that just befits ATS.
Don't be too harsh. I've never shared my artwork before. Thanks.

I think people are the hardest to draw. I can see Audrey but maybe not so much kiera if you asked me without telling the title.. Maybe it's just the small details. Faces are so complex.
Thanks.
Here is one, a celebrity, and I won't tell you the name. See if you can guess who she is.
I never quite finished this one. But it's one of my last one's left of celebrity art I have.

i think you are quite good, but theyre just sketches. i think if you put some time into a pic the results would be very good.

Those are all very good; particularly like #1 and #2. Thanks for sharing, and keep on sketchin'. Do you just do portraits? Curious if you do any landscapes or still lifes? How about Grays doing their makeup?

It is Liv Tyler. I did that piece just after watching Lord of the Rings for the first time. I thought she did so well.
Blessings,

really people I know you want to be nice and supportive of what she does, but that art is not good. I say this only because it frustrating to get stuck in actual art classes with these people, and come out with only a grade higher, knowing full and well your art is 10x better than theirs. You need to lose the lines, figure out transitions in shading which create the line you make. For example the jaw lines on the faces, is should be a shade difference that creates the appearance of a jaw line not a line in itself. If that explains what I mean. Anyways kudos for sharing and stick with the art. But don't expect to go anywhere with it and please don't get into actual college classes until your at least 5x better.
