I have finished one of the commissioned pencil portraits I have on my agenda at the moment. Hooray! Unfortunately I can not show you this portrait in it's entirety, as it is a surprise gift for someone. But I will show you at a later date, once it has been give to the recipient.
I've tried to spruce up my images a little, instead of the my usual style. What do you think? I used a free photoshop template from Rita over at The CoffeeShop blog. I highly recommend you pay her a visit.
By the way, I'm now on Pinterest and I am addicted. You can add a 'Pin It' tab to your browser and 'Pin' anything from any site. It's awesome. Great for saving ideas to refer back to later. Have a look at my pin boards and you'll get the idea.
Until next time,
keep creating,
Kyles =D
Awesome work, Kyles, you sure do have some skills lady!!
ReplyDeleteI was just talking to my hubby the other day about messing with my piccies to make them look more fancy for my blog, I will check out that link you put up.
I'm on pinterest too.....soooo addictive ;o)
I can't wait to see the new portrait! I started out doing colored pencil children's portraits so I know how challenging they are. After a couple of years, I had to leave "reality" to live in my current world of whimsy!!
ReplyDeleteI love Pinterest, too but it won't work with AOL. Eeeeerrg! I would use it a LOT more if I could but I have to log out and go into IE. It's a pain! Maybe they'll fix that soon!
xoxo
Kyles, you are such a gifted artist. I can't wait to see the finished portrait
