the book of emma pg 4, and some teasers

the fourth page of the emma sketchbook and again, more along the same lines though admittedly a little more detailed this time with the shading and such:


















pretty much how i remember her looking when i'd go into costa coffee during the summer of 2002 for a latte and biscotti - chunky thumb ring, pigtails, nose stud, notebook pen and pencil tucked into her apron, big badge with her name and a smiley face on. . . the angel wing is obviously artistic license, of course ;)

anyway. THESE are some high contrast teasers of the 'emma #3' painting i'll be posting tomorrow ahead of 'ode #2' which i'll be posting over the weekend with more drawings and some randomness. the colours are a lot more subtle, but you'll see that. . . tomorrow

  1. I love this, your drawings are so good!

    I love the way you draw hair and the shading and creases in the T-shirt. You're wonderful.

    It's like you took a mental snapshot seven years ago and just drew it. I still have that badge somewhere!

    But I really want my long hair back now!!! :(

    *Sigh*

    The painting is gorgeous too. You should stop being nervous about posting it and just post!!! :P

  4. I've always loved the way you shade faces and hair, particularly the darkest areas on the left side of her face in this one (the drawing). You're not afraid to be expressive with high contrast and interpretive shading.
