Week 31: Realism.
"Portrait of Ian and Jack" (from a personal photo) in HB graphite and yellow, red and blue pencils on a black Sharpie easel. I hope this fits with the theme. I was inspired by some art examples in online articles on realism. My original intention was to draw an artist and two sitters, perhaps as less-than-real cartoons, with only the "painted" canvas featuring the realism. But I came to prefer the white space.
Update:
Week 31: Realism II.
"Elephants at Perth Zoo." Freehand watercolour on textured paper, based on my own photograph.
Cool! My elephants for Realism Week made it into "Tania's Picks" on the Challenge blog. And what amazing company! Thanks Tania!
