A cubicle neighbor anyway. This is my friend Jason, say hi Jason!
Reading around the many inspirational illustrator blogs that I do, I came upon Rama Hughes' Portrait Party a while back and have just got around to trying it with a few friends. I drew Jason from life... but we were rushed, so I took a picture as well. This drawing is from the picture. I plan to do several more versions until the 'right' one comes out or reveals itself. This one's a little forced.
I'm on a search for my artistic 'voice'. I've been consciously looking for it for about 10 years now. Every once and again it just pops up on it's own and I can revel in it... but it's not that often. So I have to coax it, draw the same thing multiple times, or just draw because I like to. Sometimes it's hard - I've forgotten how to just be and draw like I used to - I find I rush through everything... That probably comes from work and deadline oriented life. Slowing down is the key, neighbor.
slow down.

I like the expression here. Also the impact of the hand on the face is beautifully rendered.
I know what you mean by waiting for the "right" one comes out. Sometimes I sit in a concert and made several sketches of the artist in the hope that at least one turns out with a likeness I am satisfied with.
beautiful! his eyes are soulful!
Very beautiful drawing. I like it a lot. What a vivid memory.
You've done such a beautiful drawing, I feel like I know him!
Hey Jason...she's done you proud.
Great Portrait, absolutely love your work for Fine Grind too!
the detail on this piece is very good, the expression on jason's faces is shown very well
