Description Another little color portrait... I'll get back to making REAL art soon enough. I've just been enjoying drawing these; portraits of pretty faces. Fun and easy exercise. Drawn with Polychromos. Thanks to TinTunTanPonerai  for letting me use her beautiful photo: tintuntanponerai.deviantart.co…

So much personality in there. I find it amazing how a drawing can evoke a real person.

Thanks buddy, realistic portraits are a fun exercise. Not necessarily art, per se, when its just based on a photo. But still fun!

Of course it's art! Why don't you say it's art?

Making a drawing that's just based on a photo; there's no imagination involved. I know it requires artistic skill, but anything that unimaginative doesn't feel like art to me. But that's just my own weird way of thinking!

GeorgieDeeArt In reply to rhyshaug [2014-02-05 23:30:25 +0000 UTC]

I've heard a lot that 'art' is art when it expresses something (with artistic skill). Here you've expressed someone's beautiful face! And in a really technical, confusing psychological way you would need some sort of artistic imagination to even create an image like this... haha

That's beautiful! I really like the way you drew your latest portraits and especially this one, they are so vivid... You can see that you've enjoyed to draw them.

I love the colours and the expression.

Oh, thank you very much! You're right, they have been great fun to draw. Drawing skin tones is a fun challenge, one has to use so many different colours to capture it properly. Thanks for your kind comment

Oh thanks buddy! I don't actually mind making drawings for friends, followers, etc. Drawing people realistically is fun. I'm just really behind on drawing work, so I can't promise you anything. Yet!

What kind of paper are you using, I like how the color pencil works with the pencil.

Oh this is done on Canson Illustration paper, my new favorite. Stumbled across it a few months back. It's hard to find in my local Blick, there's lots of Canson products, but this one type I rarely see. So I just ordered a bunch from Amazon.
