Portraits of the "Rendez-vous"



We had great moments in Clermont-Ferrand (France) during the "Rendez vous du Carnet de Voyage" (the international sketchbook fair), and it was the opportunity to sketch some fellow USK and to have beers.

Drawing Strangers.


Julia Kay's Portrait Party has been the best thing that has happened to me in a while. I know it's drawing strangers, but that makes it almost more fun (definitely less stressful) than drawing people you know!

I have been learning about my "style", or lack-there-of... And drawing what I see. Which is sometimes most definitely different than what others see!

I love drawing each and every one of someone's wrinkles. It really brings out the character of a person, don't you think? It also makes such drawing much more interesting to look at! 

And it was a girl, no more than eleven years ...
Pobre.

Should He Divorce Me?



Maybe he should divorce me? Though, it does portray his likeness quite well!! Nah, he'd never divorce me over a terrible portrait. He says it looks better than photos taken of him.

I did this portrait this summer before PWOM (Yeah, I gave it an acronym, can I do that?) was a blog. Husband is quite often sitting with his computer like this. So it is a good way to sketch him, though, he seems to wiggle quite often!

I can't wait to show you some others soon!  

The portuguese urbansketcher

Vicente Sardinha fell asleep for five minutes, enough time to be drawn without mercy, perhaps a couple of times...
