pencil on B4 drawing paper won the 5th place in “TAHNJA CHALLENGE” in Bubbler Portraits group (29,11,2009) / featured in Bubbler Portraits group (30,11,2009) when i started drawing, my old friend told me that i should give up to dream becoming an artist. / one day i was drawing a beautiful girl at a cheep hotel in Singapore, one bystander asked me “how much?” / so i replied “it is free.” / he said to me,” i asked you how much you pay for model”. / i laughed lots.
Acrylic on oil painting canvas textured paper. Standard A3 I really didn’t have anything much in mind for this in concept, I just wanted to be unrestricted and let it flow in what ever direction I felt I wanted this to go in. I did have a reason for painting another self portrait. The group Bubbler Portraits is currently holding a challenge to paint a portrait of me and I am allowed to enter so I really wanted to attempt something new. I guess I ended up mixing a few different things I sometimes do in my paintings to end up with this result. When I finished it I wanted my beloved to know that I am always watching over him with my great love and prayers…that I believe completely in miracles and in the wonder and awesomeness of God…these were my feelings when I stepped back to view my work. MUCH love, beauty, joy and God’s miracles to you all!! Detail / / /

My 2nd portrait of The Beautiful Tahnja The Sexy Portrait of Tahnja That inspired me. I like this one better, although it still doesnt look exactly like Tahnja, it has more of her personality and the things that she likes. The writing on the right is Tahnja’s favorite quote “The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it’s indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it’s indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it’s indifference. – Elie Wiesel I used two pretty swirly brushes from Obsidiandawn and i cant find where i found these free Medieval Shapes, if i do ill put up a link :o)
A drawing I did yesterday of Tahnja,she posted some nice pictures. I used pencils, graphite, and an old sharpie :-)
My friend and wonderful artist and fellow bubbler: Tahnja . I took the inspiration from her own work…how gorgeous and full of meaning her religious work shows. So I made her something of an angel…with devine heart. Something to represent how I see her, in what her work makes me feel. I am not to fond of how her mouth came out. But every artist, no matter what age, is always learning. Image used with permission by Tahnja. Photo reference below is copyrighted to her. 5.5×8.5 / Ink, glitter ink used on hair and a bit on the wings.

Bubbler portrait of tahnja Sorry this took so long, tahnja. Gouache and colored pencil on paper / 10”x 13”
So, I’ve been working on these self-portraits and this one does not look like me at all. But I still like it because it’s the first time I do more shading and detail. This doesn’t look quite like me, so it’s me in some other life time I guess! :D / Tell me what you all think. Constructive criticism is welcome. Oh and I just didn’t bother finishing off the hair, I kind of like it like that :) Medium is pencil on drawing paper

Very quick charcoal sketch of hsien-ku Sitting in my office at work. I decided to sketch this image from my monitor. Only problem was that I didn’t have any drawing paper. I found a piece of chip board, some charcoal and a few pieces of old pastels. I didn’t expect it to turn into anything, but I kind of like it.

Another self portrait in watercolors and mixed media on paper (Arches cold press 300 lb). I added some watercolor crayons drawings on top of the figure once it was dry, and I used acrylics in the background.
This is a pastel on Canson pastel paper with lots of layers and fixative in between. The texture became very gritty.
