Yeah, there is something about that sig...

I did not draw the border though. The sig is a collage made with a picture program. Something between MS paint and Photoshop... closer to MS Paint

I am totally unable to create things from scratch. I probably could if I had the practise, but my mind works better in "copying" from a picture or a live model. I spent years without picking up a pencil. I did not even know I could draw ppl and actually recognise who it is. LOL!

Amy has been a wonderful model! She has so many "faces" and sides to her, it's amazing! Her face just cries to be drawn.

Thank you all for the comments! Suggestions are welcomed!

Ok, so I'm double posting and cheating. LOL! I'll erase this one later; it's just meant to "resurect the thread"...

More soon... still have to buy the A2 sheet to draw what I have in mind.
It will still be Ames though.

On your last wall:

Lovely colors and that's got to be one of my all time fav images of Amy. The kanji is a very nice touch too.

Cheers!

Those drawings are ace! Especially the last two drawings, they are wicked. Do you paint? I'd like to see more paintings by people who can draw like you.

I chose Amy as the main model cause... well, you have all the expressions of the world in her face and soulfull eyes. You can't help but be drawn to her figure and carisma. This is my attempt to capture it in pencil, because I think there is something flattering in a hand-made protrait such as in a b&w photo that is just lost in the colour ones. (that and... erm, couldn't paint in colour. Too much of a chicken, always afraid to screw up what's already done... and plus, I have no technique whatsoever!)~

There are more drawings by me in the second page (no-Ev related, but that I think are cool to share), as well as wallpapers.

I'll be posting more as I make them, which hopefully will allow me to update this thread regularly.

*~~*~~*~~*~~*

EDIT: Oct 13: Seems like a nice day to update this thread. I'm removing the "work in progress" and attaching my new portrait of Amy. I decided to go for a full bod after falling in love with the original picture. It's just gorgeous, and I hope I made it justice.
Comments... PLEASE!!!

EDIT: OCT 14: Check the last page for the one I JUST finished. I think that if I ever meet teh Ames again, I'll present it to her! Opinions welcome!

EDIT: OCT 15 - I'm moving the first picture from the first post and posting it further down. I've been told Amy looks too old in it... I agree. So, down to the bottom with it! It will be replaced by my newest, fresh from the bar it was drawn on yesterday morning.

There is also a Wallpaper on the 4th page. Enjoy

Wow,your stuff is great,I could feel the deep emotions in your paintings

Thanks all!!!
Spiderfal, no I don't paint. I think I would need technique to paint. I guess I can hadle a pencil cause... well, we all do when writing anyway, but with a brush... whoa, that's a whole different matter!

I have been advised to take some workshops to learn more and work on it, and I probably will in the future.

I think the last two I made are the best too. I guess that I'm getting used to Amy's features...

Anywho, there is a new one I have lined up. It will probably be as big as an A2 sheet, so it will take me some time to make it. But maybe a week or two and I'll post something new here.

Sayonara!

Just boosting this thread cause of the new update.
Will erase this later.

:jaw drops onto floor:

Some of those are photo's right? Black and white photos?

Were you always able to draw like that?

LOL!

No, I think Ev's music just woke me up inside.

I was going under in my life, totally drawn in solitude, when the Immaginary in my head was brought back to life. And I guess now the will to draw that has haunted me, is finally arising.

Don't ask... I don't know where that came from.

I've been gaining some practise drawing Amy from pictures. It's been a great experience. But yeah, it's all "natural".

Thanks for dropping by!
