Hey! I posted a really old drawing of Oliver the other day. Here is a more recent drawing that I did using prismacolor colored pencils. It took soooo long and my arms were always sore after working on it. It's not perfect but I learned a lot from my mistakes. Above all I regret the background.

Here it was in the beginning:

Finished:

This one is a guache painting of my little sister with a toucan:

I'm actually opening commission. This is my first time doing this so I hope the prices seem fair. I don't know if any of you guys are interested but if you would like here is the link! There are also more examples of my work on there.

VERY impressive paintings!!!! My best friend is a painter too, she's also my personal hair stylist as she's been doing my hair for years. She did a oil painting for me with my partner and I, plus all the babies.... :)

I actually do hair too! Not for money or anything as I'm not professionally trained. But I've done lots of research and bleach and color my hair along with most of my friends.

She started out as an artist before getting her license to do hair. She's also a model too and her photos have been posted in some magazines. We go way back and we've been through things together.... :D
