10min portrait: day 006 frodo baggins

waah, it's getting later and later day by day... @_@

and instead of painting faster i'm getting a little bit slower ahahaa.

i'm going to paint various lord of the rings characters over the next few days.
thanks to dear iris for the idea! ❤

character suggestions are very welcome :)

10min portrait: day 005 keira knightley

edit: ehrm, ok. this was fast. game's over. yino wins xD
but thanks for participating! ❤

let's play a game today. a guessing game, actually. 

whoever recognizes first who this actress here is supposed to be, can freely choose one of my so far painted 10min portraits and will get the original as a postcard sent to wherever you want it to go.

why am i doing this?

because i think i painted her kinda un-recognizable duh... u__u"

i do not dare tag her name before someone recognizes her haha...

and i love sending postcards :D

all these portraits have the perfect postcard size!

(and i'm wondering whether anyone would want one of these sketchy, simple and small paintings. it's nothing grand, i know, it's just for fun xD)

deadline for guessing is in one week - january 12th.

if no one guesses correctly or if there just isn't anyone interested in participating, i will post the name either way on january 13th and edit this post here.

day 005

keira knightley / acrylics / 10-15min each

new year, new daily project! 10-min-portraits day 001 johnny depp

happy new year, best wishes and so on~ :D

i decided to do a new daily project that also leads to daily blogging again.

new year, new luck.

let's see how it works this time haha. 

last year, i managed to fill almost two sketchbooks in 62 days that resulted into 27 blog posts.

ehrm... the sketching worked way better than the blogging part.

this year i'm going to do little 10-minute-paintings (ca. din a6) of various people.

why? because i love doing portraits but still need a lot of practise. 

for starters, i'm always going to use some kind of reference.

so let's paint!

day 001

johnny depp / acrylics / 10min each

reference: the many faces of johnny depp

click it! it's hilarious xD

any suggestions who i should paint over the next few days?

feel free to tell me because i have no idea at all! :D

'cause i'm so bad at remembering and recognizing names and faces *cough*
