Finally, I did a portrait of Cam! *Finally Finished!*

**catnapper** · 08-09-2006, 04:59 PM

Everyone kept asking me what picture I'd use to do a portrait of Cam.

I used this photo:

And here's the work in progress. I can't decide if I like the grainy, soft look or if I want to make things more opague and blend away all the paper grain so you don't see it.... once I cover the grain, thats it and I can't go back to the soft grainy look.

Edit:
Here's the updated version of the portrait.

I was so excited about it yesterday that I posted the work in progress. I should have waited because I like this much better. I'm sure if you gave me til tonight to work on this, it would be even better than this version

PS: I'm sitting here laughing because it has every color in his face EXCEPT "peach" and "flesh" - in fact he has a TON of blue, purple, and red

Edit again:
The finished drawing is on page 2.

You did an amazing job, you're so talented. It doesn't hurt that he's so incredibly cute though.

Kim, That is breathtaking. You have captured his beauty so wonderfully. I love it.

That is amazing!!

You are a wonderful artist. I like the grainy look, I think.

I love that you chose that picture (it is the one I saved from the last thread that you posted. It was my favorite!)

You never cease to amaze me! I love all you drawings. You are such an inspiration. I only wish I could learn to do traditional media like this...it's so hard!

Ahh, okay!

Yes, being able to share it with folks is fun!

I wish I could but I have to go get a scanner and TALENT!

Maybe I could pm some time as I was wanting to maybe do something for my husbands birthday in December.

Kim,

What a beautiful portrait!! You've got talent, girl!!

**catnapper** · 09-04-2006, 04:49 PM

Ok, its finally done (only took nearly a month)

I smoothed out the paper grain to loose the soft grainy effect. It only took a million hours more, but I am finally done!

Compare to last time I posted:

Hmmm... now he's so much bigger, what should be my next one?

Edit: forgot the photo for comparison

**Killearn Kitties** · 09-04-2006, 05:07 PM

Well it may have taken a month, but it was time well spent. The latest version is just amazing!

**CatLuvrs** · 09-04-2006, 05:50 PM

That is just awesome! You are so talented!

**Catty1** · 09-04-2006, 06:03 PM
