Referenced loosely from this portrait by modernist A. B. Carles painted in 1922.

It's wonderful.

This is stunning! Very beautiful!!

Thank you, Mad. Lori, I never answered your comment about the FX/textures. Chibi has really limited texture options so I used one of them and I also used the watercolour brush on a space/scatter setting that makes a broken line. When you combine that with varied pressure from thick to thin in a constant line you can get some beautiful results. It kind of reminds me of sumi ink. Where I like it in this painting is the gold line on her sleeve and the lace front of the dress.

i SO like this one.
madscientist111 (May 30, 2013)
This is amazing! Looks like actress, Lee Grant!

Teapot (edited May 31, 2013)
Thank you. I'll have to look her up--don't know the name. I wasn't trying to make it look like anyone in particular, it sort of took shape after a lot of doodling.

Oh yeah, I do know who she is and it does resemble her somewhat. http://www.allocine.fr/personne/fichepersonne-10523/photos/detail/?cmediafile=18860723

Busted! Yep, it's a part of the face that I'm particularly partial to. If you read up on it, it's a very interesting little dent--can indicate infertility and other health issues but I think this is my favorite thing about it...

In Jewish mythology, an angel strikes a newborn on the upper lip right before birth to create the philtrum, so he forgets all he saw and knew as a soul.

When I drew this face I kept asking myself "Is this a compassionate face or the face of a corrupt man?" I'm thinkin' the corrupt side won out. Honestly, I thought the thing people would notice first would be that awesome comb-over. '-)
lori (Nov 22, 2012)
That's interesting! Honestly everything about this guy besides his little dent kinda freaks me out.
Roytje (Nov 23, 2012)
Fantastic portrait.
TNGSTUBBS (edited Dec 1, 2012)
I am an infant when it comes to my drawings... I am also brand new on this site, but I was browsing around and came upon this drawing and I have to say, I really found myself drawn to him... I love his blue eyes. ( I always notice peoples eyes before anything else)! I didn't even notice the "comb over" you mentioned! but what really made me like him was his eyebrows!

You are an extremely talented artist. One, you obviously have all of the proportions correct and all of the fundamentals down pat... But mainly because you have the ability to give them life. You bring out emotion in the people you draw and I truly admire that in an artist! I've enjoyed looking at your art and will continue to study it as I search for my own style.

Three of the most intriguing, complex and difficult (for me) parts of the body to draw. This is referenced from a photograph Alfred Stieglitz took of his wife, Georgia O'Keeffe in 1919.

Cleaning house. Old stuff. Rummage sale time.

It's all snowy and frozen outside so, even though I'm getting to be blind as a..thing that is very blind indeed, and my tablet doesn't work for shit anymore and the drawing programs are not jiving with Java (or something) I'm going to do some drawing anyway. Might as well, can't dance.

Great piece. A warm, comfortable, natural mood/feeling comes from this for me.
Teapot (Nov 22, 2011)
Thanks, all. What a nice thing to say, Shults. Flubbles, I played around with the dark/light contrast quite a bit but I kind of liked the more subtle contrast, the way twilight or candlelight or any kind of low light removes the high contrast. I was trying for a feeling of intimacy without any sexual tension. So you'd say to yourself "Friends?", "sisters?", "mother, daughter?" "Lovers?" You decide. I wish I could get someone to cut my hair like that...
Suntan (Jan 29, 2012)
this is great, Teapot, love it.
