blue smoke and red lipsby ~Vive-Le-Rock

Traditional Art / Drawings / Portraits & Figures

ah yes, another new portrait.

blue smoke and red lips innocence
reference photo [link] by ~lorelix04 merci

caran d'ache colored pencils & mostly 3B, B and 9B pencils.

this time i again decided that to make an almost identical copy of a photo isn't actually that interesting, so i played around a bit and decided to add some bright red and smokey blue to the portrait, and i'm quite happy with the result. i am not happy with the shading on the skin, and yes i chose a strong contrast pic cos i'm a lazy ass, and the shape of her head looks odd.
i am loving the eyes. (detail shots soon maybe?)

~Lamorien Aug 28, 2009 Student Traditional Artist

Your technique is wonderful, i mean your ability to represent exactly what you're trying to portray is right on. You've got such a wonderful talent, I'd love to see something besides fashion/magazine portraits.

hey babe, take a walk on the wild side.

~Lamorien Aug 29, 2009 Student Traditional Artist

Well, you've got some of your own photography on here, why not draw from your own work, your own imagination, something that has a lot of meaning and substance?

Don't get me wrong; drawing from magazine pictures is a great way to further your technical abilities. I do that, too, lots of artists do. But I believe art is more than that, it's the creativity process, too, and I think that doing some of your own stuff, working from your own references and ideas would help with this.
