Moon Girl!

Hello 2015 (and everyone reading this post :] )! This little  piece is inspired by a genuine artist, who calls herself Soey Milk! I liked keeping it fairly flat looking

Hunimal

 Long time I wanted to try designing animal and human morphed portrait/ caricature... And I got totally inspired to draw away after I saw this amazing photo by Kevin Horan in 'Chattel' series. So it is a rather young 'prince' who looks just a little bit like a sheep . I hope you'll find it quite amusing :]

Family Portrait for Chistmas Present

I thought a family portrait collage would be the best Christmas gift this year.


With this portrait collage  I was aiming to achieve a strong contrast in light,   painterly strokes and slightly exaggerated volumes so it does feel a bit stylized. The composition nods to the family tree, with my grandparents in the middle, their two daughters branching out with their families each side of their parents.

Overall, it was  a warm and intimate experience, drawing all of the loved ones and getting to know their face in minute detail :]

Hiatus Kaiyote Portrait Landscape

Amazing Hiatus Kaiyote are an independent future soul group based in Melbourne. 

They are absolutely lovely so I decided to give it a go and practice portrait skills by drawing them up. I've tried to capture the likeness more than anything else, but kept the personal style too. The piece took me about 8 -9 hours to complete. 

Following portraits are of are Nai Palm, Paul Bender, Perrin Moss and Simon Mavin.

And more on the music they play, Hiatus Kaiyote has a style that can’t be easily pinpointed. Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding, Tupac Shakur, Flying Lotus, traditional flamenco and music from Mali and Colombia have influenced the group.  They're touring in Europe now and  I will see them in London Village Underground, soon. Who knows, maybe will be able to say hello (:] 

Check them out, maybe they will be to your liking too :] 

Perky Lady Painting

Getting to speed with drawing this year. Portraits are not something I draw often, but I;m quite happy how this one turned out without using any reference.
