More artwork
Hi all,
For those who are interested, here are my latest drawings. I did the eye on my avator (about 18mm long!). Then both of these weren't quite finished when I took the photos. They are on A2 paper - so the kids are larger than life - literally! One wouldn't load, so I'll put it on another post - I've had trouble with our Sat. broadband.
Cheers,
Jill

Hi DJ - still here - took a bit of mucking around to get this one to download.
Thanks for the kudos! I didn't end up selling any at the artshow, but it was in a small town & probably not a LOT of buyers through the show. But I now have them in an online gallery & planning a family exhibition sometime next year...after we finish the house of course!
Cheers,
Jill

Hi Jill, you have an exceptional talent.
Your drawings are beautiful. What medium have you used, charcoal?I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

I like the way your human figure drawings express emotion so well.

Thanks Robbie - I love really detailed drawings - and I've always loved doing portraiture the most. Now our kids do, also, and are doing some fantastic work - they're streets ahead of where they were at when I posted some of theirs last!
Thanks Wayne! I'm glad you got that comp. sorted out!
I don't think I can put the link to the gallery on here.
Thanks Matrix - these are done with graphite pencils...solid graphite in 2B and 6B, plus woodcase in 2H and HB, 0.5mm HB mechanical pencil, 0.7mm 2B mech. pencil, tortillons and make-up removal pads for blending, and blu tak & a clik eraser (retractable 'pencil' type - allowing for removal of really fine lines cleanly) - that's about it! Quite an arsenal, really, compared to what I used to use! For smooth skin tones, I kind of 'paint' the graphite on with the makeup removal pads, then use the blu tak to remove it from highlight areas & so on.
Thanks Harry - I do try to capture the expressions...and thank goodness for photography & computers - you could never get such lively art happening without being able to capture the fleeting emotion/expression with the click of a shutter! And with the computer, you can greyscale the photo, create 3 or 4 different shots of it with varying light/contrast levels - and it makes it so much easier to get all the details & also then the depth of the darks you want as well.
Thanks so much for your interest, everyone,
Jill

yes, that does sound like quite an arsenal!
How long does it take you to complete one of these drawings, and do you usually do it in one session?I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

Hi Martrix - the one of our son on another thread (Artshow one) took about 15 hrs, the one of the two girls on this thread took about the same, maybe more (two faces to draw), and the one of Danita on this thread I didn't take the time to note how long, but perhaps similar or a little less? Depending on how much detail I add!
Lol - not in one sitting, since I have to do it in the dark, early mornings (with a daylight bulb) after my hubby goes to work, and the kids are still sleeping, and then in snatches during the day if I get the chance after we do school and before building work - then after tea at night - once again under lights! Since I am addicted, I fit it in whenever I can! I am working on getting as much realism in the shortest time possible, using whatever tools and techniques I can dream up or learn from others!
Thanks,
Jill

Thank you Gil! I've put it on the backburner for too many years, while having five children & building, etc. - now when I'm more busy than ever, I am making the time!
Thanks Sean - okay - here's the link to my gallery: http://www.theartshow.net.au/Gallery...ChristineClark
I will add to it as I finish more. There's an oil painting of a sunset seascape on my easel right now that is almost finished that'll be on there maybe next week. I may also put these ones of our kids on there just as samples for commission work - not sure. I just finished another one last night that I'll add to this thread - it's still too dark to take a photo this morning, yet!
Cheers & thank you,
Jill
