Thank you, it’s a Watercolour sketch drawn with a brush, I find it easier to draw B/W or colour Japanese style with a brush. Mainly because I quite like B/W drawings I like Your Gallery The James blunt - to Dominic Mongahan are excellent, but can I say, that colour is great and even more exciting than B/W painting. Also it’s time now at you stage of drawing, that you should be moving slowly towards painting whatever Oil, Acrylic, Watercolour or even like Me combinations of all three. I hope you don’t mind the advice.
hey, of course I don't mind. I'm glad I can get advice from you.It's so important to me.In fact I'd like to try that but I'm afraid I can spoil it all. I find it easier to draw with watercolour pencil because while drawing with pencils I have more control but while drawing with brush it's the brush itself that does the job.Thanks again.
How do you think I started first W/C pencils then I used a brush to fill in between a so on. What can you spoil everything is experience and nothing is wasted it all is under memory. Or perhaps the paper well turn it around and it becomes white again.
Your new motto is; 'I can, I will and nthing is impossible'
Thank you, I've also done a colour version, but it did not work and looked to much like a colour photo so I filed it under later. I do this and go back again and re-work them sometimes with success.
Thank you, I do portraits for other people when I do I try for different to show perhaps through the different aspect of a face the strengh or beauty of the person. On another site a commenter said why paint half a face instead of a whole one I was very upset as this person missed the point if I can make the half look like the person and show emotion and beauty with half why paint the rest. I made a repy saying this I'm not about fan art but real art in my head or on the paper My mind. Why I paint for others is to to control my painting the same people all the time the challenge of trying to please others and the wonderful feeling if you do I know when I have from the reaction.

I once learned from a philosophic lesson (not my favorite subject thought) something that is quite similar to what you say. We had to read a little document about art written by J.P. Sartre (very very interesting), how the real "thing" of art hides within the work itself, and that is what entails the emotions. The painting, that is to say the concrete material, is called the "analogon": that is NOT what contains the "soul" of the work. A real artist does not imitate something: he is capable of capturing the essence of what he draws and interprets it through an "analogon". Interesting concept. That explains why art is more about what we make others see our work rather than what we see, exactly as E. Degas said.
