last things and other things.

hi,
I drew a singer that I like,
the writing that is on the drawing refers to the title of his last song, which is particular, just his voice and him on the guitar, a list of things and people and then that phrase, which is like fuck you ..
then I look for, I prepare the drawing without the writing and I put the image alone, however by clicking on the link the drawing appears with the explanation and also some song titles by him which I think are very beautiful

 
I forgot or I didn't know that by putting the link the image already appeared, so I don't reload it the same image just to occupy space in the memory destined for the images we upload, it's the same, only part of the glasses and the beginning of the head are missing
 
today I started this, it would be nice to make a good drawing of Laura Antonelli, she was probably the most beautiful Italian actress, unfortunately her last years out of the spotlight weren't very lucky, even Italian cinema has never really valued her , engulfed in a certain genre cinema and then spat out. about drawing it I don't know how to do it, it's hard to find similarity and also how to draw faces in a clean, kind way. I think it was a right thing not to have tried to make a caricature, and I think it would have turned out even worse, I don't know whether to do another drawing, look for other photos in this photo there were some writings on the name of the site. but in general I don't know whether to continue, measure and measure hoping to correct, or whether to redraw over this several times, look for facial planes to correct, I see this in the drawings of some caricature artists, tried several times but above all for caricatures. more quick drawings, look for more photos (I had searched but I don't think I have chosen, found it well) and make a long drawing of one of those that seem better to me easier.

One of the problems I have to learn to do better shading,and hair, or if I hatch it is the way that is less difficult for me it is more suitable for digital, do this more slowly trying to limit errors, however perhaps in my case I should do more short attempts and a long one bringing back the same mistakes
 
I have tried a few faces some time back but not enough to learn the curve. I see some of the things you capture and I think I will have to make time to do one a day so I can learn. It would be interesting to see if I can actually learn how to fo it. I enjoy your efforts and can see progress over time. Good on you for staying with it. Now I must go find my pencils.
 
wayne, thanks for the nice words, yes, with a little constant practice you can do extraordinary things even with pencil and portraits, as you do with canvas, and your use of colors and eye is already on value, which is very important I find shading challenging even in theory. Ah as a portrait book even if I never finished it but repeated it several times. on the same there are videos, writing proko loomis. i face, i often try this thing or part, but loomis is probably just one way of many for portrait, like, measure height and width or, other, i don't know
 
ah, many painters sometimes, maybe as a studio, love charcoal, maybe charcoal for grayscale those values, maybe even for broad strokes, or both. however yes, you can use a brush directly, or try charcoal if you like. I haven't tried the charcoal sticks very recently, very different from graphite but fun. charcoal pencils i found them less scary, i find it difficult to sharpen well, sharpen, but it's medium gorgeous, broad strokes or very fine, dark or soft values, they actually do amazing things with charcoal, it reminds paint, maybe even using
 
Your methodical approach to your drawing is very inspirational, Joe. I think you're getting a lot of well-deserved mentions on how you have improved, and I want to add mine, as well. :) These recent drawings are all very good, and you seem to be very systematic - it's terrific!
 
I mostly drew animals
and some faces from
photos seen on instagram, placed as free references on instagram by the artist,

this
this is portrait of artist Juttama rie


, @judithyaws has done some of the most beautiful figure portraits I've seen on instagram in these years, very beautiful figures and portraits, unfortunately instagram has been removing her figures for 6 months, censorship, some weren't even naked, many yes though they are drawings of nude artists, and as if they remove the drawings or paintings of the masters, actually they did this too because he also posted paintings of the masters.

I think it's like I had read for ebay, it works as a sample, if someone reports you, in short, on instagram there are many photos that are almost pornographic but censor art, such as the closure of croquicafe on youtube years ago, it was free on youtube and only for adults but they had to remove, I think art is little respected. Aiart, censorship. luckily there are still artists like you or judithyaws that I think art is one of the things that make sense
