Practicing with Portraits
I've been doing a lot of portraits from photos lately. Trying out new techniques, different brushes and line weights. Experimenting with subtle color and bold color. Laying down color first, mixing it up with different pen colors. Here's a sampling. Entire series can be seen in my "Portrait Party" flickr set.

These are soooooooo cool! Great, creative work, Lisbeth. I think you're a genius!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Kris, thanks!!! Coming from such a talented you, this is high praise indeed! I continue to learn so much just being around you and can't wait to take one of your classes.
ReplyDeleteGee thanks. Well, you know what my opinion is on talent. I think it's so great you give yourself various challenges. Truly deep practice.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'll probably be offering classes in January. Or did I say that already?!
You are amazing, Lisbeth. I just showed these to Dan (your biggest fan)and he said "She IS amazing. I don't understand why she doesn't just quit what she's doing and become a cartoonist or whatever this is."
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Sue. Thx to you (& Dan) for your kind comments! It's so fun but don't think I'll quit my day job!
ReplyDeleteYour portrait studies are fun and I like your selection of colors.
ReplyDeleteThe first time I saw what Lisbeth was doing, I thought "she's an illustrator."
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Miss Sue.
