Drawing Guns n Roses

Byadmin Reading Time: 3 minutes
I’ve recently finished a drawing of the group Guns ‘n’ Roses and, as usual, took photos as the drawing progressed so I’ve created a slide show.

Having sketched out the basic outlines, I worked my way across the drawing, adding detail to the individuals. Once I had covered the whole drawing, I then went over several times adding depth, darkening tone and picking out highlights. For this reason, the last few slides at first glance may appear very similar, but it’s the working up of these layers which make a difference to the final drawing.

Let the slide show run or click the side arrows to move the images along.

    Here’s a speedy painting of this years Christmas card – Madonna and child (not newborn) so probably around the time the wise men were visiting. Everything started off fine, but went pear shaped around her chin just over half way through – goodness knows what I was doing! This is why I enjoy oils so…

    Following on from my blog on the gridding technique, here is the progress of the painting in oils. For this portrait I used SAA artists acrylics and oils.

    1. Hi Craig
      Sorry for taking so long to come back to you – I’m just returning to work after the Christmas break.
      The original has sold – it was drawn to commission.
      If you’re still interested, I do have prints at £75 or you could commission your own.
