Journal History

My New Portrait

Wed Nov 4, 2009, 8:15 PM

I'm excited to finally be starting a new portrait. I'm excited and scared at the same time. This is going to be a special tribute for a young Marine who lost his life too soon. This is going to be a journey filled with various emotions which will be difficult - I sense it already but it's a journey I know that will make me a better person when I'm done.


I've decided to finally get into color. I'm making "Zachary" my first color piece. I'm using Prismacolor Colored Pencils. I'm nervous because I've never used color before - but it's time I venture out and try something different. I feel that I'm growing as an artist.

I am a self-taught artist. I am inspired not only by other artists but from life itself. I am inspired by people, textures, smells, sounds, all my senses seem to come alive when I draw. My drawings take me on an artistic journey of self discovery. I feel my soul awaken when I draw. GOD has given me a gift and it's a gift I hope to use to bring people closer together. It's a gift I hope to use to capture the beauty that's in this World. I don't want my drawings to simply be pictures drawn on pieces of paper - I want my drawings to be a celebration of life.

The pencil study you did of the African baby... =[ Why do my africans never look african even when I use 9B and 8B...

How do you get yours to look so... dark?

I use different hand pressure. I also blend using a tortillion which seems to make the tone darker also.

Hmm... I have noticed tortillions do that... and I do give pressure... but I feel that it's maybe because I draw my other people with serve tone too... hmm... =/

Thank you very much, your informtion helped me with my charcoal sketch of Barak Obama. =]

*hugs*

Your drawings are very good! I <3 that.
