That's scarily real! lol (I have a phobia of human feet !!!)Final assignment is all human body parts! Sketches of feet and no the one on the left with the hairy leg isn’t mine although it has been a looong winter!View attachment 106068
It was the ruddy wrinkles I struggled with more than anything, as we have to draw from life not photos, there is only me and Mr KR I can use as a model yes for shortening anything is difficult as your brain tells you different to your eyes, learning to ‘see’ is an art in itself I think, I’m currently drawing hands while listening to Mozart, hoping it inspires me!Feet are sooooo hard, especially when they're foreshortened
Sorry Trewsers, didn’t realise or I would have put a ‘do not view’ notice on it.That's scarily real! lol (I have a phobia of human feet !!!)
The worse thing about this for me is all I can see when I look at it is my big brother looking at meI’ll show you some eyes if you like? No one troubled by old lady eyes I hope?

Not finished yet still please don’t be too harsh.
You are bringing things to life! They all look so real (I know that probably sounds silly lol). You really are talented you know, I wouldn't know where to begin and even if I did, I doubt that I could do the things you have done. Specially not with black and white..............The worse thing about this for me is all I can see when I look at it is my big brother looking at me
Thank you @chunky monkeyI was thinking just last week that you hadnt posted anything. My telepathy must have worked.
They look fab.
All my pencil work is from Life, the portrait was from a reference photo. I prefer to try and work from life as it’s much more challenging (people don’t stay inanimate) but with Covid I’ve not had much choice and I’m bored of using Mr KR and myself as models.Love the picture of Leah, her expression is great. When you are drawing portraits are you working from life?
I’m glad you enjoy seeing my creationsIt comes to something when im at work thinking about you not posting your artwork. I like seeing it.
I agree with you totally, it also helps if you know the subject too, even though Leah was painted from a photo I loved painting her, just because I could ‘see’ her coming right out of the brush strokes and of course because I have so much love for her. One day if she’s ever not too busy I’d like to try and paint her from life.I think pictures done from life are always so much better than photographs. More of the person comes through, if you know what I mean.
