We all know the format of Art Club :-).

For fun as always

PS Sorry for the delay, other thing calling other than the forum 😉 So I made the finish next week.

PPS Week after next a still life with bike bits in the style of Basket of Fruit (Caravaggio)

I’ve spent the day doing photo self portraits, is that ok?

@meehaja

Unless its some sort of cut montage etc.. then no 🙁

I am too ugly to join in this time… But I will have a go!

Don’t take the piss, it’s a really good likeness.

I think we have our own Van Gogh, right there ^^^

Where can you get those shirts 🙂 Cyan Lycra 🙂

Thanks Dezmondo! *feels appreciated*

RT me and my mum make them on a Saturday night.

@schrickvr6

Don’t tell everyone 😉

So I thought I’d have ago at the cross-hatching thing that Catflees posted up the other week. Cheated a bit, by getting the basic shape in by tracing from the reference photo, but then put all the details in by hand. My left eye is not that wonky in real life.

@MM

Thats quite tidy.

slainte 💡 rob

I just copied a photo my son took of me on the iPad.

I’m much prettier

.

MB, I really like it. I don’t think the method you used is cheating, really nice result.
Rob, that’s cool.
Dez, that’s scary!

Good thread 🙂

Dez, that’s scary!

You should see the original!

Ok:

Thanks for the comments! I’m too quick to jump on the pooter and do some manipulation, it’s good fun to take the pencil out for a turn.

Nice – looking forward to it

From a snap at the Q’s.

STW Art Club – "Self Portrait" by SGMTB, on Flickr

I’ll probably have a go at close up portrait next.

NOte: 1 feeling lucking in Picasa and shadows darkened a bit.

I need to get some softer pencils.

are you Carlos the Jackal?

Yeh. How do you know that ??:-)

Unfortunately I suffer with prescription glasses 🙁 and use a over specs so they look a bit big. I dont like contacts and prescription sunglasses are to expensive for me 🙁

Should of used artistic license and drawn in some nice Oakleys 🙂

Could’nt resist adding a wash…

RT. Are you riding ith a magic invisible seat? 😉

@piedi di formaggio

Mmmm your right.. does look odd and distracts a bit…edit required 🙂

But my right leg is turned in and probably obscured it.

Great stuff showing on the thread. Another week to go:-)

Samurai, your blending is really good but your paper let’s you down. Nice effort.

Yeah and ta. I just grabbed a sheet of printer paper and a 2H pencil on the spur of the moment. I think I’ll ask for some proper drawing materials for christmas. It’s been a while and I fancy getting back into it.

love it schrickvr6. kneeling footless, curly-eyed, purplehaired, stating a love of STW pissing puss from a thermonuclear spot on yer face. I like that.

That’s expressive.

I might of been a candidate for the SS 🙁

lol, you’re bang on there. Good cross hatching though.

Art clubs looking good! Some lovely work this week.

Samurai have you got pictures of your old work? Your style would suit a really smooth paper like Bristol Board. I use that all the time now with stumps.

Nope, I lost virtually everything in a big folder when we moved house many years back. I was gutted.

All I have to hand is this that I drew in five minutes at Geneva airport because I was bored.

And this from a party when this drunk girl insisted I draw her something.

As I say, I need to get back into drawing. I used to be ok but it’s amazing how quickly you forget how to get the best results.

I wish I had the taken but I’ve hardly progressed from when I was about 10.

very nice everyone 🙂 i could try and draw myself,but it would be a simple stick figure (as i cannot draw 🙁

My son’s just getting into drawing, which is a good excuse to start doing stuff again. I’ll post up some of my old efforts (on scraperboard) seeing as Samuri is cheating as well 🙂 (just got to get them scanned)

Here’s my scraperboard tiger

eh?

I just completed the portrait I started a few weeks ago and uploads on the old art club thread 🙂
