I love drawing and I always want to improve. Drawing always makes me feel positive and brighten my mood and my day. If I were to win this competition I would be ecstatic because getting more tips and experience would make me want to create more artwork. Thank you for considering me in this comp! :)
Vladimir,
Are you aware that inkjet photo paper can take silverpoint? If not, give it a try and see what you think of the paper as a ground. I have been experimenting with silverpoint, and because inkjet paper is a prepared paper that had a fine tooth that acted as an abrasive I decided to try it and was pleasantly surprised. However, I feel perhaps the depth of tone may not be deep enough. Regardless of that, it may be a useful paper for soft rendering…
I have found in the diversity of materials, techniques to develop an amazing work of art. In this case, I used ink and bleach…
I like to learn from the masters…
I was never very good at art when I was growing up and this is a fact that I always found painful. Something in me needed to be able to draw. So after I finished education I started to teach myself from books and on the internet.
This piece that I have submitted is a portrait of my great nephew…
Our Body is a nest, pregnant body is a perfect nest…
I have a question about drawing textures. Say, for example, that I’m portraying an old man, or a scene that shows some concrete or a wall: how do I show the textures and irregularities of the surface under the layers of hatching? …
“Which is more important: the subject of your art, or the way the piece is executed? I pose this question to you in the hopes of ascertaining a professional view on whether fine art is as much about capturing the emotion of the subject as it is about producing an accurate portrayal. Or can one be done without the other?”…
I saw this photo in a fashion magazine and was fascinated by this proud facial expression.
The original is from a great German photographer (Sorry, I could not draw from the original, I had only the photo ;-) ).
However, the graphical challenge was rather the headscarf. Around the nose are small corrections necessary. But I was afraid to destroy the image with a few strokes…
