I have been working slowly on this portrait. I think I finally have it close to what my eye can see. Can you recognize her? She has tons of videos on youtube and formed one of the most fun and populated mixed media groups.
Not telling any more... Will be postings images as I work on it.
This is a fabulous portrait Martha...I don't know that many group leaders so I'm not guessing who she is, but as you have made her a saint I will check her out when you tell lol :D XXX
ReplyDeleteWell, didn't mean it as a Saint, but she will get a chuckle out of it. It's a design she had of checkers in a line... maybe I will move it a bit, to give the impression of a line that could be also halo....? It is still just pencil.
DeleteI think the finger pointing is also a "Saint" feature in many religious paintings!
ReplyDeleteI'm still on vacation so haven't been able to figure out the faces class yet. Looking forward to it when I get back.

Me too, when I saw it next day! I will have to be very careful with that hand hehe
DeleteSo glad others thought she may be using " the naughty finger"... but I love it even more just because of that... great line work and can't wait to see her finished...xx
ReplyDeleteDon't recognize her... But very pretty. Can't wait to see it all finished.
ReplyDeleteGreat face even if I don't have a clue who she is.
ReplyDeleteI don't spend a lot of time on youtube, so I don't recognize her, but I very much like what you have going on so far! Your sketch is lovely...
ReplyDeleteLol! I thought she was giving us the finger. :)) Great sketch!
ReplyDeletelooks really familiar but not sure exactly...great work regardless.
ReplyDeletecheers, dana
I must congratulate you on your nose (and the rest of her is wonderful too)! That is the part of the face that gives me the most challenge so I can really appreciate a good looking nose in a portrait!
ReplyDeleteWho ever she is, she looks amazing!!Good job!!
ReplyDeleteHugs Giggles
I'm not familiar with art journal famous people but I believe it's a very nice work in progress!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job. I love her expression!
