Like all of us, you’re your own harshest critic. I know because I do it too, but this is a painting to be proud of!
Yes, obviously you right Laurene...
We looking at our drawing boards at very close up, and we know exactly what went not just the way we wanted it
His gaze
GAZE -> definitely I'll need to find meaning of this word
Makes me think I’d love to see you tackle a wolf portrait
.
Well, challenge is been accepted
All I'm struggling at the moment is finding GOOD PORTRAITS of subjects I'd like to paint...
You know I'm altering references on my mobile app for some time now...
It's because I'm craving for SOMETHING to see into the photo I'm about to paint...
Plain photo, straight out if the mobile camera is usually out of my interest.
So I'm doing my best then, to alter it to my likeness...
It works for me very well, so I can be more motivated to follow the reference.
I have photographer on instagram, who bought a posh camera lens from me.
Since then I'm giving him likes on instagram, and we having few words chat in comments sometime too.
Once I got impressed with white tiger he shared.
I did ask what is the deal if I'd like to draw that tiger, he told me I can draw it for myself for free obviously, but it's £100 if I may plan to share it, or make profits of my drawing afterwards...
Well.
That was it.
My story is to tell, that if I'm finding interesting photo sometime, usually it cost some good money, and I have no idea if I'll make any profit on it at all...
Instead...
I'm trying my best to alter the photo I like by free hand sketch, to go around copyrights if possible.
This is what I did regarding Raven pastel project...
I'm picking up the posture I like to follow, then finding multiple other photos, and altering my main posture.
Regarding above process, I do like it a lot.
My Raven, even though its pose was found from the bunch of Google references, was different, was drawn by me, I did sculpture the feathers, the beak myself...
Is like I did draw that bird, and I think I did ...
If you know I mean Laurene
Most probably I'll try to use my free hand sketching every time I may think it's handy...
Thank you for keen words regarding the painting!
My sister loves it!
That's the main thing
