A Dedication to Mr Picasso

I know i draw without taking any lessons and so most of my drawings might be technically incorrect (and sometimes hard to draw too), but at the end of the day, what matters is that i love it.
This one is an Oil on Paper, my first proper oil on paper portrait. Took me about 4 hrs (i guess i should buy new brushes, they don't look so good . .) and now i can't breathe, thanks to the turpentine.
Looking forward to your priceless feedback. :)

    love the texture you got. I have never tried oil on paper. Interesting.
    I love the smell of turpine..it is sort of like coffee to me :)
    Also I think your colours are real good

    Very nicely done, technical or not. If you want feedback (don't know if it is priceless) you may want to add just a bit more shading under his chin.

    Is that what Picasso looked like? How handsome!

    The results of the oils are lovely - but not breathing... not so good!

    I've never attempted oil on paper. Intriguing piece. Love the texture you have going in the background.

    Such great textures... and your color choices definitely remind me of Picasso's "blue period".

    Well, I love it and I love that you love it. Try the water soluble oil paints. No stinky turpentine and they dry a bit faster but still blend wonderfully. Several brands are making them, now.

    how wonderful that you love making art....
    I think it looks wonderful and I like your colors. I hope you are working in a ventilated area, I think oils etc. are bad for us to breathe.

    I'm pretty much self-taught too.
    You're doing well in listening to yourself.
    Paint on!

    the painting is nice. i would say buy stretched canvas and bristle brushes. it will be more fun to paint. and lesser turpentine in your nose also. use more linseed oil when you are mixing paints. gives a sticky and fun feel. have fun... oil painting is great :)

Black Sketch

Something i drew last night...for the reason why i mostly draw...to get rid of sadness/trouble. Couldn't get a better picture. . . Also it was really hard, on a useless black paper, with the worst pencil colours ever. If it is too bad, then just for the idea of the drawing, there are houses, tree trunks, two people, clouds, grass and a road in it. so i realised that it is a Sunday, hence, I'm over to Sunday Sketches now. :)

Sketch Pen Stuff

My sister got new sketch pens, and while she was sitting watching FRIENDS till late at night, though very sleepy, I decided to draw, and came up with this (with a few others, that I haven't shared here): The background here is MS Paint. And then a few nights later, when I was just irritated because nothing seemed to be working at all, I made this (by the number of mistakes in it, you can tell i was irritable that day): And last to last night, I just wanted to escape from the scenery on the right to the scenery on the left: A very good morning and a happy Sunday to you! The weather is pleasant, as the rainy season(monsoon) is about to start, so the best thing to do is to view some lovely artwork at The Blue Chair Diary's Sunday Sketches , while listening to some awesome music. :) P.S. no pencils used at all (such a relief not to use the eraser) :)
