OK...So I'm going to be spending less time here
Here is the photo I'm working from...This will be a challenge. I'll share my progress but I expect it will take some time seeing it is my first portrait. Last edited by MrLabGuy; 08-19-2008 at 01:36 AM. |

Here are some of my other amateur paintings and drawings.
First painting ever. I was accidentally placed in an advanced art class in college when the admissions person reversed the last two numbers of the class and was stuck so I did my best. The assignment was to reproduce a Monet. This was my attempt having never attempted anything but a stick figure and scribble in years past. Heck...I got an A in the class so it was not all that bad I guess. Here is my second attempt at painting years later. Here is my third painting. Next I figured if I'm going to paint I might as well try to draw. Here are my first three drawings. Keep in mind I can't even write my name consistently or legibly. Close up of the ladys face. These I copied from some photos on Art .com for my son Sebastian to place in his room. Last edited by MrLabGuy; 08-19-2008 at 01:47 AM. |

Go for it and Good Luck!
When I first started reading the post I was wondering how you were going to get your son to sit still for that long... Working from a picture gives you some advantage I guess, and that's a great one to work from!

Amazing stuff! You've definitely got a talent. I'm anxious to see the finished product.

Whoa I'm actually impressed!
Would've thought you were kidding if you hadn't shown us your previous works. I guess working in a lab gives you an artistic edge when it comes to drawing. From what I understand artists need a good feel of measurement and proportion. I lack in that area, so when I draw something (like stick figures) I start out fine but end up with something so bizzare even I hate my own work. Keep us posted! |

Wow, good work MLB..
Isn't there a site where you can submit a photo and they can send you a paint by numbers canvas? It might save you some time B

wow, that's great work MrLabGuy...i'm an artist and studied it in college and I don't even draw people close to as good as you do. I can pretty much draw other stuff except people. Somehow, I can't get the faces right...Good Luck and post some pics when you're done so everyone here can say AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH! I know I will!
