Zoe Saldana by ~bobbadagirl

I got eaten by school and thus am just now uploading a ton of stuff. Here’s a portrait of Zoe Saldana - naturally, this started out as a 1 in the morning, going to bed in a few minutes but let’s give this (this being larger portraits) a shot, and then it went ridiculously quickly and turned out to be something I really like.

Black pentel colorbrush and India ink, 3 hours, March 2012.

The Big One by ~bobbadagirl

I pretty much don’t use canvas, because I am a) cheap b) completely disinclined to store the stupid stuff, so sketchbooks pretty much win out every single time, but I bought a cheap, basic thing at a garage sale something like 4 years ago and felt like doing something impressionistic.

I like colors.

Acrylics, 9x12”, 3 hours, photo reference used (photo by me), March 2012.

Testing a new watercolor style via Lucy Liu photo, with apologies to her because all resemblance got lost in the rush to add colors.  But I kind of like the style - especially since it makes me actually have, you know, color - so I’ll probably use it again sometime.

This is actually from last October, but I forgot to scan it.  From a visit to the Davis Mountains (far east Texas, where the McDonald Observatory is) when it was super, super dry - Fort Davis narrowly missed being burned down.

Sherlock - ???? by ~bobbadagirl

Touched up a previous Irene portrait - still not my fave, but I’m happier here.
