This is where I have reached till this day with my skills. I
have been trying to do this since a very long time. But every time I tried doing
Portraits, I was never satisfied. The only feedbacks that I got was good and
they would not comment more than that. But I always understood that the
painting or sketch was not that good enough. They always had flaws. Sometime
the Symmetry was not proper, any eye was
smaller and sometimes the sketch and the photo that I was drawing did not match
and turn out into a new person.
Last month I started off with Pierce Brosnan of James Bond
007. The Portrait looked very much close to how the Photo was. I forgot to
mention I usually practice from Magazines, Pictures, Old Photos and Pictures
from the internet. So I finally clicked a picture of my Grandmother’s Portrait which
was in my aunt’s house through my cell phone and started on a Sunday morning
last month.
I was never confident in doing a portrait of known people; I
always had a fear of feedbacks. I did not want people to say that I am not a
good artist. But I realize now that all the time I got feedbacks, they were
from people who did not understand art. They were people who would not
understand art or the effort of the work. And I did not have any one to guide
me in this.
I left practicing from 2002. As far as I remember I started
practicing from 2007 onwards. One or two in a month, late night after I come
back from work. I worked as a salesman
for companies. Most of the Jobs that I worked were not related to art.
Above I have a scan
Image of my drawing and the photo that I clicked using my phone.
