TWITTER PORTRAIT CHALLENGE BY @STUDIOTEABREAK

   It's been a while since I last post it here!
   @StudioTeaBreak at Twitter as a #PortraitChallenge every Thursday. Go and check it out. Then come back here!

   This week's challenge is a photgraph by E.D. Schott of 'Magrit' .
   Here's my version. I wanted to look more illustration than realistic but I'm afraid I made her look angry. Sorry Magrit!

SOLENT SHOWCASE GALLERY

Tongue Obsession I-IV (in order from the left to the right).
The graphite drawings were made from 2013's self portraits (top from February and the bottom from July).
I really dislike taking photos so I used to put my tongue out. These last four years I managed to keep it inside my mouth.

The materials used were:
-Derwent Graphic 9B
-Daler-Rowney Heavyweight paper

The deadline submission is 1st February. Almost there. For more info and dates visit: www.solent.ac.uk/showcase/whats-on

UPDATE: DEALINE EXTENDED TO 14TH FEBRUARY!

BAD APPLES 12 DAYS DAY 7...

..is Stocking.
   When I was think about this theme several ideas came to mind. But there was none better than the real thing.
  There is so much you can carry in 3 suitcases on a airplane with weight limitations! And one of the suitacases is for art materials and some books in Portuguese for my son. Moving to another country isn't easy and leaving behind 36 years of precious belongings no small fee (books mainly)!
  The only Christmas decorations that made the cut was the stocking and the top Christmas star. They are very special to me!

-Kuretake Millennium Pure Black

-Derwent Graphik Line Marker Sepia

-Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pen Gold 250***

-Chameleon Detail
