There are a lot of portraits in the WetCanvas IRL (Image Reference Library) to use, but I'd rather use ones I might be able to do something with if it turns into a good one. So...I'll use family and friends mostly. The problem, of course, is that most photos of people are taken inside with a flash :(So...if you want me to give your portrait a try and you have a good photo in the sun - with some good lights and darks - send it to me and I'll try. I can't promise anything (remember, this is still very much a learning phase so I have good ones and then horrible ones!!) And the eyes - need to work on those eyes because if they aren't set right, they look wonky!Wednesday, August 25, 2010
PORTRAIT 4: FIRST NATION WOMAN
I had this photo from WetCanvas on the computer for ages and even began this portrait once but never finished it. This time I went in and tried to have a light hand (lately my brush has been too heavy to get good portraits). You may have seen this portrait in other places since it's a copyright free photo from WetCanvas (by Crias) and several people have used it.

Well, nothing is 'wonky' on this one! WOW-she is gorgeous.
Rhonda, this is a delightful portrait. I like how you treated all the features and the shadows in the face. Great job!
Rhonda, like this one very much. Love your dedication!
Thanks so much, Jane :)
Christiane, I'm glad you like this one. I didn't go too dark (which I am having a problem with in some of these).
Ann, thanks! Just stubbornness, I think, not necessarily dedication! ha ha
This piece has such a great feel. I, too, love your treatment of the facial shadows.
Thanks, Pam. I appreciate your comments :)
