Portraits

Over the last year I've made a lot of portraits of myself and some of the people I know. These ones were made using my 10 colouring pencils.





This is me, drawn on an aeroplane. I was really into Tim Burtons drawing style at the time, so it turned out quite creepy.


I always try and use a variety of colours, even ones that wouldnt obviously work. I think this makes great tone and shading, and you get a more varied and interesting picture.

This is another one of me, using all the colours in my set, its quite stylised.





This is based on one of my old teachers. She's a lovely woman, but her face lends itself so perfectly for a sinister portrait. She'll never know..
