Elizabeth Taylor Drawing

A favorite customer of mine, Fran, bought the Amy Winehouse portrait from me and she was so pleased with it that she decided to get a custom portrait. So we worked together to find the perfect photo of Elizabeth Taylor via google and I drew this piece! I am very happy with it! And it's already packed and shipped. =) I love my side job!!

So my friend and I were hanging out and we decided to do her makeup like a Vampiress and film it! I wasn't sure if my subscribers would like me uploading something different from drawing, but I got a pretty good response. My makeup skills aren't the best, and I don't have the best, or a lot of makeup but I want to keep doing makeup videos! They are fun! I want to do a handful of

Using My Imagination To Draw ❉

2011-04-19T22:58:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, well the video pretty much explains itself. Someone gave me the idea to draw without using a reference photo to look at. So I drew a non existent woman. Basically I drew the perfect face :). She is very pretty. I didn't use a photo and I didn't do an outline/sketch before hand. This took me about 35 minutes and I used my mechanical pencil. I used my old sketchbook paper for this one

New Video: Nicki Minaj Portrait Drawing!

2011-04-17T12:57:00.000-07:00

Hey every one! I just uploaded a new video... me drawing Nicki Minaj with her fabulous rainbow wig! =) I'm not gonna lie, this drawing was really difficult for me. I was getting frustrated with the texture the colored pencils were giving me. Any artists out there know of good colored pencils that will blend & erase? I need some! I want to try doing some painting videos. Perhaps with goache. I'm

2011-04-07T10:04:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys!!! I have been drawing so much lately! I am even thinking about doing one more drawing today before someone comes to take my desk. (I sold my desk on Craigslist so I can buy an artists desk! I'm so excited!) So I wont have a desk to draw on for probably about a week so I thought I better try to get a drawing finished today. But last night, I was cleaning my computer and I had this photo

Philip DeFranco aka "sxephil" Portrait Drawing

2011-04-03T22:44:00.000-07:00

Hey guys! So today I drew Philip DeFranco. I have been wanting to draw somebody "famous" on YouTube and I was going to draw AndreasChoice but I couldn't find a large clear photo with good highlights and lowlights. Bummer. Then I thought about drawing KalelCullen but again I couldn't find a great photo to use. This drawing took me about 4 hours. I actually used a mechanical pencil the entire time.

Kanye West Portrait Drawing

2011-03-30T17:25:00.000-07:00

I've gotten a few requests for Kanye West on my YouTube channel and he is one of my favorite musicians/singers/rapper so I drew him! I used Straedtler Mars graphite pencils in HB and 6B. This one took me quite a while, about 5 hours. I think it took so long because the glasses were just NOT easy! Getting his eyes behind the glasses was also difficult. And to top that off, the lighting was a bit

Katy Perry Portrait Drawing

2011-03-12T22:17:00.000-08:00

Hey guys! So the original photo I used is below. This portrait took me FOREVERRR! But I love it so much! I'm really into the colored hair right now if you couldn't tell. :) I used mostly PRANG colored pencils for this. I also have PRISMACOLOR pencils but I find that they don't blend and don't really erase, and I'm kind of clumsy so I like to know that if I mess up I can erase something. Or blend

2011-02-19T13:41:00.000-08:00

I think I've gotten more requests for Hayley Williams than anyone else! But I'm so glad because she was fun to draw! At first, I was just going to draw her in black and white with regular graphite pencils, but then I was thinking, her hair is SOOO beautiful and vibrant, I want to at least put some color in her hair. Well I ended up just drawing the entire thing in colored pencil! And I LOVE the
