To Paint is to Love Again

Perhaps we are all children trying to be adults.
Still sketching.  I had to redo the boy in the background because at first it looked like he was eating his own leg…not much more you can say about that. (c) 2012 Amy S. All rights reserved.

Special thanks to realistically-dreaming for sending in this picture!!  I have received a few more and they will eventually be posted.  Please keep sending me photos, guys, it keeps me motivated!  I really liked this submission, I might even do it again in a different medium, perhaps soft pastels?  Anyway, I don’t have internet at my house right now, but there will be more posts next week.  

You guys are amazing and have a lovely day!

I’m back!  Special thanks to ijwalker for supplying the photo for this one!! This piece was done in oil pastels on brown paper.  Since the subject is a ginger, he had a lot of pink tones in his skin, which was quite fun to play with.  Also, I’m getting more comfortable with drawing glasses. This was really enjoyable so IF YOU WANT ME TO DRAW YOU SOMETHING SEND ME A PICTURE :)

I’ll draw your photos

Hey guys,

I want to experiment with a drawing exercise.  If you have a photo of anything you want me to draw, send it to me in my submit box and there is a good chance that I will draw/paint it and post it on my tumblr page.  I don’t know if this will work out well or not, but it sounds like fun.  So, send me pics of yourself/best friend/favorite place/grandma/dog and we’ll see how this goes.
