Jane Priser, pencil, 2 3/8" x 2 3/8"

Jane Priser is an artist from Grand Junction, Colorado who mainly works in watercolour.  You can see her bright and wonderful paintings at Jane Priser Arts.  That’s some very lively hair there…

This is portrait number 98 of 100. I will continue posting new work beyond portrait 100, but probably not at the same rate…

Ines, pencil, 2 3/8" x 2 3/8"

This is a case of a missing file…. I’ve had Ines in the queue for drawing for a while, but for the life of me I can’t find her info! Help me out- anybody know this girl? Once I find her info, I will post here! Sorry Ines!

This is portrait 97 of 100. I will attempt to do 2 tomorrow, which will take me to 99…

Thanks for visiting, please find Ines for me!

Thanks for finding me Ines!

Abigail Zimmer, pencil, 2 3/8" x 2 3/4"

I received a comment a while back from the blog Off The Front Porch,  so I went snooping for photos and came up with portrait number 74- Abigail’s blogging partner, Pakou. I learned after the fact that it was Abigail who had left the comment, so in fairness here is her portrait, number 96!

I cannot help but think that this image is somewhat Norman Rockwell-esque… which is ok with me because he is one of my favourite artists of all time. Thanks for giving me this great picture to work with Abi!

This is portrait number 96 of 100.

I am still working on the final acrylic portrait, almost finished!

It’s easy to make a beautiful drawing from a beautiful photograph. All credit goes to Risée Chaderton.

Visit Risée Chaderton’s blog, eyeonevisuals, to see her incredible photography work; a wide range of subjects, all stunning- it seems Ms. Chaderton cannot miss! Visit her facebook page too… I think there is a murmer of a book coming out?

Erin Forsyth, graphite & coloured pencil, 3 1/2" x 4 3/8"

Erin’s profile states:

“I am a practicing multi-disciplinary artist and commercial illustrator. I am the current cultural genealogy mapping intern for The Depot in Auckland New Zealand and a director of both Method and Manners studios and The Busy Nice which I operate with my sister Leah.” 

I just went to her blog, Artist Erin Forsyth, for the first time, and I said to myself, “Holy crap why haven’t I been here before-?” In other words, I find her work absolutely impressive. The Busy Nice is a creative agency which she shares with her good friend and sister, Leah. It too, is a fascinating project. Make sure you check them both out.

Even though this is one of the largest drawings yet, I think this is the smallest face- but I really wanted to play with the glass reflections in the background. And despite the seemingly dark imagery, after visiting Erin’s blogs she seems to me to be an amazingly colourful person. Nicely done, Erin!

Born and raised in Auckland, New Zealand Erin Forsyth is a believer in creative thought and creative application.
Erin has been director of shared studio space Method and Manners and curatorial projects based company The Busy Nice since 2009. She is also the former arts editor for The New Order Magazine and has worked prolifically as a freelance curator and illustrator for over a decade.
Erin’s clients include Insight and Workshop Clothing, Children of Vision and Public Gallery. She has exhibited at the Nine Lives Gallery (Brisbane, QLD), The National Grid Gallery (Sydney, NSW), Rancho Notorious (Melbourne, VIC), Ambush Gallery (Sydney, NSW) and The Basement Theatre (Auckland, NZ) in the past six months alone.
Her candidly dark illustrations and paintings have featured in local and international publications such as Lurve, Pulp, Yen and Black magazines.

This is portrait 93 of 100.

Today is the day- Feb 15th; entries for the 100th portrait are closed. A sincere thank you to the 109 entrants, and for all of your wonderful comments.

I convinced one of my girls to assist in the draw, and videoed the process- ok so I used a jar instead of a hat, but hey, I’m all about transparency… Here is the video: enjoy!
