O. Wilde

Ok, finally! Here I am to present my third attempt at realistic portraiture. Yes, there is still a vast amount of room for improvement but I feel empowered to do so.

O. Wilde, Lead Project, 2010.

I didn't feel like keeping the identity of my subject a mystery this time (or really, I couldn't think of a better title for the work). This drawing is also available on deviantART. I registered as a user this week. I only have one sad, lonely submission - this one - on the account so far. The community is really amazing with its vast archive of artists and the exuberance of works (quite inspiring stuff!). Of course I don't aspire to become an artist myself but I do love the stuff.

I'm considering continuing my amateur collection which I'm now going to call it a "project" and see how far I can progress. It may take years, but I feel like I've got all the time in the world! So that means... more portraits! I've already chosen my next candidate for the challenge. I don't usually time myself but, I shall hope to have the next one here in a week. In the mean time tut-ta!
