Description
This time I took the advice of Master Graphite Artist-Armin Mersmann. He politely suggested that I move away from celebrity drawings and fan art and compose something original! I snapped a picture of my adorable niece Lindsey, just after her parents sat her down for misbehaving. She wasn't happy that I took her photo in this mood, but I thought it was a real, genuine emotion that would make an interesting drawing!This is a mood that is not very often captured or recorded in portrait form....which is also why I thought it was cool. She was really giving me the STINK-EYE.
note: Lindsey has a couple of my original drawings hanging in her room ( Sleeping Beauty, Belle, little mermaid ) seen in this gallery.
11" x 14" strathmore 300 series smooth bristol paper.

Actually Pat, you are one of the few artist out there who can take a celebrity photo and re-invent it to be original, unique and make it your own. Sill I love seeing this, its wonderful and so moody – a fantastic drawing.

Nice likeness. Course when she's older she'll kill you unless you do one of her in the opposite mood for contrast

I'm jealous..Armin M. gave you advice! Thats awesome, and bravo for stepping out of your box..you did a wonderful job capturing her emotion of being completely pissed off! lol. It's realism, Pat M. style...you can pick out the hair from anywhere, no matter what you draw! Lovely.

Aww, I love it! I agree, I love original portraits like these over celebrity portraits. You know your drawing will be one-of-a-kind, and a lot more personal! (Not to mention stories behind the pictures, like this one.
