WIP VIII - Dr. House

This is the portrait I've been working on the most lately. It's A3 size, so it's swallowing up a lot of my time and the progress is slow, but I like the way it's turning out. I'm a devoted Hugh Laurie fan, you see. :D

Portraits

Portraits are my personal forté! That's why my portrait folder gets a spot on my profile page. I love to capture the essence of people's faces and convey feelings or messages through that. Go on and take a look inside!

Critiques

Love how the two lines of buildings coverge in the middle and create sort of a triangle shape in the sky for the birds to occupy. Incre...

You know I love your work, the contrasts in them, etc. But I fear that this might be a little too much darkness - you can hardly tell w...

Ah, amazing... This is just like the other piece of yours I critiqued, the one with the brick wall and the bench in front of it, taken ...

Alright-y... First of all, this reminded me of Escher even before I read the DD description. The curving form of something that would ...

UPDATE


Hello guys.

Sorry I've abandoned you for so long, but you know how it is; the last couple of weeks of school are the toughest! And now... Vacation! Long, blissful vacation of two months full of relaxing, going to the beach, sun, sand, sea, swimming, tanning, dancing, staying out past midnight, reading, writing, hanging out with friends, and... drawing.

Oh, wonderful drawing! I just got started on some new work half an hour ago and I swear I haven't felt this right and doing what I'm supposed to be doing in months. And I haven't drawn in months, too. Coincidence? I don't think so. I only now realise how much I actually missed it while I was preoccupied with school and everything.

I'm finishing my Kate Beckinsale, Dr. House, Roger Federer, Adagio and La Serenissima drawings in a matter of weeks, but now I'm working on this piece with wonderful shapes, contrast and lighting. It's that terribly overdone but absolutely stunning photograph of Scarlett Johansson on a couch, in that chiffon-y panter print dress.

I'll post a first WIP with the outlines and darkest parts filled in soon, so stay tuned!

- Love, Susan

..-~~*~~-..

Welcome to my page! I was born on September 30th, 1992, got inspired by my grandfather's paintings and have been an artist ever since. I do portraits, mainly, but other things too. Pencils are my favourite medium.

I love art, drawing, travelling, fruit, tea, water, mushrooms, lasagna, spring, the sea, miniskirts, animals, life, love, fun, freedom, running, cycling, going crazy, dancing, swimming and messing around with people I love.

I also love literature and books, reading (my 2nd greatest passion), theatre, musicals, languages (especially English), ancient history, campfires, stormy nights, lightning, foreign cultures and learning new things.
