soft pastel
I've been on a Rihanna binge lately, where when I need to get busy I start singing "Work". I think I took much more time putting Rihanna together than I have with the other portraits, and I enjoyed it.
Rihanna lookin at ya!
Awesome lady to celebrate for the Women's month of March.
Hope you guys have been enjoying so far, Rihanna's is the 10th portrait that I've done so far. Until next time, keep busy staying dizzy!
Lady Gaga is always so amazing and inspiring. When I watched her sing the anthem for the Super Bowl, I cried because I felt so moved.
While I was going through art school, she was my pick me up especially when I was trying to get through my final thesis. And after I was granted my degree, the first song I played was her song "Applause".
Anyway, I don't think that I need to tell you how awesome she is.
Until the next time! Keep busy staying dizzy!
To celebrate and pay tribute to one of my favorite musical and visual artists, I tried making a portrait in soft pastel of Brandon Boyd. I enjoy seeing his art work and listening to his music. I still remember when I got to watch him perform at the Fillmore as part of Sons of the Sea on his birthday. It was electrifying.
But I don't need to tell you guys how awesome he is. You should check him out for yourselves!
Until the next time, keep busy staying dizzy!
Alicia Keys was one of my favorite artists growing up. I always enjoyed her piano playing combined with her soulful singing. I drew her years ago in charcoal when I was much younger. So, it was exciting for me to go back to doing a portrait of her in Soft Pastel, a medium that I never expected myself to enjoy using so much.
I hope you guys enjoy!
Until the next time, keep busy staying dizzy!
Daisy Ridley was a blast to draw in pastel. A lot of my inspiration and influence for working on her portrait was how awesome her performance was as Rey in the most recent episode of Star Wars.
I enjoy seeing such a stunning heroine making a huge mark in the timeless epic of Star Wars. Star Wars will be something to celebrate in a few months. But the strong female character, when finally out in the media, is always such a big thing. I'm hoping to fill my portrait gallery with more inspiring female characters.
The latest video featuring Daisy Ridley was really fun to make. Kept my blood pumping and I felt very motivated working through.
Unil the next time, keep busy staying dizzy!
For this week, I was able to spend some time putting together a pastel portrait of Quorra from Tron: Legacy (played by Olivia Wilde). This was a good piece to practice rendering an under-lit subject.
Come and watch for yourself:
Of course, if that still doesn't convince you, maybe this will:
Stay dizzy!
