Portrait of a friend. I tried to stay away from my usual reds and blacks this time and worked primarily with white, red, blue, and yellow ochre, with a little black for the leather jacket.

Was going to put an elaborate patterened backdrop in the circle but in the end decided that less was more for this particular piece.

I'm really pleased with how this one turned out.

I know I told you over aim, but this is lovely. I especially like the work you did on this cheeks.

~MadameGiry Jan 25, 2008

Thanks so much, hon. The boy has awesome cheekbones. Lol.

~Opergeist Jan 24, 2008 Professional Artisan Crafter

I am quite taken with the shading/contouring of the cheek and ear. Very nice!

~MadameGiry Jan 25, 2008

*bows* Thank you! Ears are always a challenge!

~Opergeist Jan 26, 2008 Professional Artisan Crafter

Quite! Mine always look like ink squiggles.

~MadameGiry Jan 26, 2008

I used to strategically draw hair so that it would cover up the place where ears would be.

::laughs:: Nice.

wow, I love the detail you put in his hair, how long did this take?

~MadameGiry Jan 25, 2008

Thank you! Umm..... I would guesstimate in the 10-15 hour range, scattered over a number of days. Lol.

~Doll-of-Broken-Glass Jan 25, 2008
