I once found time to sketch digital portraits on the fly. I bought my first iPad primarily to max out all the drawing and painting apps (Brushes, SketchBook Pro, ArtRage, etc.). Lately, though, my portfolio stopped at these:
Poi, from three years or so back
My “fag,” Bishie, sketched during one of our quick breaks from work at Starbucks (2010, I think!)
Boyfriend Bam, also my left brain, or right brain, drawn in a very Batman mood
There are a couple more where these came from but that’s about it. Some are unfinished; some I realize have been easy to overlook years later because of the casual mood in which I finished them. My creative resolution in the year of the horse is to do more. I don’t care if I bag that “likeness” that people judge portraits by, I want to keep drawing because that’s also how I remember people:
Like I remember my boyfriend catching the flu like this. (unfinished, 2012)
Cheers to group resolutions,
Lost and found self-portrait.
