DU post-it portrait art.........SarahBelle

[billyskank]

I have been privileged today to have drawn three such beautiful women. This is the so-called "freaky geeky" hat picture, although I don't see what's either freaky or geeky about it; I find it quite fetching. Like progmom, SarahBelle was very difficult to draw. She has a very nicely curved cheekbone and jawline, which was very hard to render correctly. I'm still not sure if I've got it quite right. Anyway, see what you think:



Previous efforts are progmom:

1. Wow! You're good, BS!

Have you considered art school?

[billyskank]

2. No.....actually, I always thought I was a dry techie type

rather than an arty kind. I'm a computer programmer by profession. Whoda thunk it? :crazy:

Thanks! :bounce:

Almost as pretty as she is in real life. She's napping now, but I'll make sure she sees this when she wakes up.

31. These are lovely!

I love post-it note art. A guy I used to work for had some on his desk, a scene he added to with other post-it notes. Maybe you could try that after you're done with your portraits. It's pretty cool, IMO.

33. Thank you!
