Me, Myself and I

As you have probably guessed, this is me! I decided to draw myself from a photo I took before a night out, hence the fancy hair..Somewhat! 

This one is similar again to the others, however I really added detail to the hair as I drew it without detail and it looked like I had placed a pastry on my head! Which is no good! I also emphasised some facial features with shading lines, to add some definition to the face. 

I think next one I am going to paint the face with acrylic, just as I haven't painted with acrylic in years and I really want to get back into that style again, but using the new found style, and trying to find a happy medium between the two. 

Little one

This is my little sister Katie Lawrence! She looks quite a bit like me, even been mistaken for my twin, even though she is 3 years younger than me.

This one, because she is so young has a even better effect with the pink cheeks, it adds an innocence and wonder to her eyes and the whole look. I particularly like the hair the most, I like how it is just an outline, I think this looks really effective.

Flashback

This is Elena Cruickshank, she is a friend from high school, and this drawing is from a old photo I found on my SD card, I took this during ALevel and decided to use it now. 

This piece was a mix of both biro pen and photoshop. I think the use of mixed media in this one works well and looks quite in keeping with the other pieces however it has a more refined and finished look to it compared to the others. 

I also like the blue on pink contrast, I think that works well in the overall look of it.

Here's lookin (up to) you kid.

This is my older sister Amy!

I really quite like how I drew this one. What I like the most I think is the pink cheeks and noses, I think this add an innocence and vulnerable quality to the drawing. Also with the original image, she was on the phone, so I drew it out.

Another thing I thought worked well was the hair and the mouth, I think not drawing in the detail of the teeth made it look better than if I did. The same thing with the hair, less detail looks better than too much, too much detail can make it look messy and unfinished. 

Thank god for putting 2 together

This is my mum and dad! The wonderful creators of me! :D

This one I played with pastel and simple lines to create quite a cute look, with the pink noses and red cheeks! I really quite like this and think I will play with it some more!

I have had to hand in my 50 faces book, but I managed to scan a few in before I handed it in, so the few I have I will post over the next 2 weeks!  I may even draw some new ones if I'm feeling cray cray. :D
