Day 426 – JaraFinna
I saw this painting online yesterday, that inspired me to take a different direction with my doodle drawing today. Someone on twitter asked how long it took to draw and actually the basic outline didn’t take long at all, less than half an hour. Then I spend time fine tuning it and here it is. Last night I quickly posted it on twitter via twitpic, but I wanted to add it to the blog as well.
Would love to hear what you all think.
Ok, I had typed a comment earlier and it didn’t accept my CAPTCHA code! Errr! Anyway, what was the painting that you were looking at for inspiration? I like how the features are exaggerated. Looks like this will start a new series for you where you are doodling people instead of just designs. 🙂 I say move forward and continue with these when you can! Did you use a picture of someone or looked at a person?
Thanks for the comment. I was looking at some photo, I think it was an abstract African painting, not even sure anymore. It was very haunting, so I started with an outline and went from there. Mine ended up looking nothing like the original, except maybe for the eyes. I will do more of these and I do like the hint of red in the image. If I find the original I will post it, side by side, but who knows where I saw it now.
Thanks again for stopping by.
