Nicole Kidman

Strange how things work out. Yesterday I was planning to spend the week working on new drawings of the model in the portrait course. Then the obvious struck me - she may see the results and they might not be very flattering as I was basing them one three quick sketches - I wouldn't be happy with that. Anyway, I'm sure I'll be making more drawings of the model over the next few weeks so by the end I'm sure I'll be sick and tired working with her features, beautiful as they no doubtfully are.

So what top do? Well I was wondering through the images of my contacts on Flickr and I found one of a drawing of Nicole Kidman. Suddenly I was inspired to work on her for a while. This is the first result of this flash of inspiration. I like it and just hope it leads to some eve more interesting drawings over the next few days.

The results of the first week of portrait course

Whilst waiting for the windows upgrade to complete I thought I would work on my work from the portrait course I attend this morning. This is a iPhone capture reworked and developed in Brushes on the iPad. The original drawing was made in pen and ink on paper. The original was a reasonable likeness of the model and so this might be but my memory is not what it sued to be so I can't actually confirm this. Anyway, that is beside the point I think that the result is a very interesting drawing/digital image.

As for the course it is really too early to say but the first impressions are very positive. Diane the tutor is very enthusiastic and puts everyone at ease. I hope this continues and this proves to be a very worthwhile course.
