Felicity Jones


11x14

This is a portrait I drew that took me about 5-6 hours to finish. I felt drawn to the
photo because of the beautiful simplicity and the detail was wonderful!  I had a lot
of fun drawing it, blending and shading the skin was fun, and I loved doing the eyes and mouth.
One thing I love about drawing detailed portraits is highlighting with my kneaded eraser and
eraser stick. It almost feels like sculpting.

Adam Young


 
original photo                                                  9x12 portrait

This is a portrait I drew for one of my favorite musicians, Owl City (Adam Young.)
We recently went to one of his concerts and it was put by security guards with the other
 gifts for Adam. All was well until I recieved an email from one of the workers at the
 House of Blues(where the concert was) about a week later. He said he found it in one
 of the Green rooms and wanted to return it to me. Hopefully Adam got to at least see
 it before they left. I assume it was left on accident. We met with the worker who had
my portrait, and I was very glad to know it was safe and sound.
 Hopefully someday I'll get another chance to give it to Adam Young.
