Random acts of portraiture

Whenever I start feeling too uptight in my techniques, or bored with painting the next pretty face (no matter how appealing), I remember that I can go back to Deb Weiers's blind contour weird-wonky people for a refreshing break.

Today I combined some bright spring Eostre-ly colors with a lady who is having all the feels, most of them not so cheery as her color scheme, but oh, she was a fun one to draw. I've been paying attention more on Facebook when somebody posts a photo or a meme that would work for a rando Weier(d) and collecting them in my References folder. I won't, however, share the originals, because A. not supposed to steal others' images, and B. the person would probably not be recognizable anyway, which is the whole point, so why bother?


"All the Feels"—pencil, Daler-Rowney inks, Uniball pen, gel pen, on Fluid 140-lb. coldpress watercolor paper, 9x12 inches.
