Untitled WIP (Work in Progress)

[Goat Whisperer]

So remember that self-portrait I posted a little while ago, well I am making it into a three part portrait. With three different portaits put together into one. The first one I drew is going to be on the left, I just finished the middle, and now I have to work on the right one. This is what I have so far!

The new middle piece:



Put together:

 

[RedRyder]

Is that how you see yourself?

 

[Jessica]

kind of creepy but still pretty good

 

[Dakota Jim]

Not your usual great stuff. You are much prettier than that.....

 

[Goat Whisperer]

I'm doing it more as a general portrait then how I see myself, just using myself for insipiration.

 

[Dakota Jim]

Well you do yourself a disservice calling it a self portrait as you did originally. Bri, you are a cute girl I hope you don't see you this way.

 

[Siphorous]

I like it. Reminds me of Munch's shout.

 

[Goat Whisperer]

I was thinking of calling it "Trapped"

 

[Goat Whisperer]

And by the way guys this piece symbolizes something for me, but it doesn't symbolize me.

 

[Peter Parka]

It reminds me off a cross between some holocaust painting and that creepy bit in the sex scene in Titanic where Rose runs her hand down the steamed up window in the car. Good stuff nonetheless. :thumbup

lol Imma take that as a compliment...

 

[Rasika]

It is an interesting piece(s). I like how it symbolizes something for you instead a representation of yourself. The black and white (and the use of shading) really works well for what you are drawing. I also love the texture of the hair - I know a lot of people who couldn't pull that off. Good job.

 

[Goat Whisperer]

I was thinking of taking the fingers out of the middle portrait altogether, what do you guys think of that idea?

 

[Rasika]

It's just my humble opinion, but I like the fingers there - then it's not just a floating head, ya' know. But it looks great, either way.

Thank you for noticing the hair, no on seems to realize how impossible hair is to draw with charcoal :willy_nilly: I spent like 6 hours on the hair alone--for each piece.

By the way, together this is about 28 X 35 inch in size.

 

[Goat Whisperer]

The real challenge will be finding a frame and matting... I hope i don't have to get it custom made... maybe my art teacher will do it for me--oh wait he hates me. lol nvm

 

[Rasika]

You're welcome. The time and hard work shows. Most of the time, when people use charcoal or even pastels, the hair looks flat. There is no dimension, no texture. I really enjoyed your art.

 

[Goat Whisperer]

I think I am going to redo the middle portrait, it is too different and dark/angry from the rest.

 

[SouthOfHeaven]

honestly the middle is my favorite part.. dark or not.. it kinda looks like you're casting a spell over the looker..

 

[Goat Whisperer]

lol I actually love the middle one, but I've gotten a lot of negative feedback on it... and I know from experience that people don't like things that make them feel bad, no matter how well done they are.
