🚨Disclaimer on Ga iman: I adore Good Omens and for the moment being I will continue to post quite a lot of Crowley especially, but I want to make clear that I do not support his behaviour, already deeply problematic in the best possible scenario, and I believe and support survivors first and foremost as the first option, always.

I did this graphite portrait and had an amazing improvement thanks to the lovely @onlyancunin who helped me a lot in some tips! They are soooo good and talented, you should check their art!!!

Still have a long way to go, but I'm very proud of this and wanted to share with all of you :3

Introductions :)

My artwork from 2019 or so! btw the star is just a little watermark I added :)

Hi everyone, I'm Marjorie! I wanted to start an art blog for a while, but I'm really bad at posting... I love anonymity and don't really like showing my art all that much. But I love seeing other people's posts and always feel so inspired by them! I thought maybe I could make this blog to share advice and help encourage people to draw too

Here are some facts about me!

I've been drawing for ~8 years

I love graphite the most, but I also really enjoy ink, oil pastel, and acrylics! I've tried basically everything out there lol

I almost exclusively draw people/portraits - something about capturing someone's face is so magical, I love every second of it

Other things I love besides fine art: reading, writing, crocheting, learning new languages, playing basketball, and lots of other stuff! and sleeping too I'm always tired

Nice to meet you all!

A portrait of a friend of mine! I may have posted this already on Tumblr, but it was the unfinished version. I started this portrait a few months ago, but got sidetracked, so it's been on the backburner for a while. 9" 12". Graphite Pencil on Drawing Paper -- (I'm still not sure whether or not I like this paper. I hate working with it but I keep finding success with it...go figure)

I decided that I needed to scan it as well...

Béla Lugosi

A portrait of Béla Lugosi I intended to be for his birthday, which was on October 20th, but it ended up taking me way longer than I expected to get him finished.

I feel like I've had everything against me right from the beginning with this portrait. I started him late (October 18th), because I had another art project that took a lot longer than I anticipated to finish, so I knew that I wouldn't complete him in time for his birthday, but what I didn't expect, was to get art block worse than I've ever had before, and for it to take me almost a week just to get the sketch right (I'm surprised the paper survived all the erasing I had to do!). Take a look at the process photos I've added below the cut, and you'll be able to see my suffering in pictures :) 🫠

All that being said, I am happy with how he came out in the end. It seems that, with a lot of portraits I do, I think that I'm going to have to give up and start over completely, but then somehow pull them through last minute.

Instead of using aquarelles to paint his suit like I have done with my last six portraits, I decided to just use graphite, like the rest of the portrait. To make it quicker to shade, I used a graphite "crayon" for most of it, then smudged it with a blending stump to make it look smoother.

HB, 2B, 3B and 6B graphite and mechanical pencils on 160 gsm paper.

My take on The Judge from Cormac McCarthy’s “Blood Meridian”. To make this, I used graphite and carbon pencils on paper, while I did the background digitally. I used photos of Marlon Brando in “Apocalypse Now” and Stellan Skarsgård for the facial features, as well as Clancy Brown in “Highlander”. I also used ai to create some reference photos by inputing descriptions from the book.

The other night, I watched The Frog, a Korean series about psychopath serial killers. I heard the song "Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City" performed by Bobby "Blue" Bland for the first time, and I really liked it. I've listened to it many times since then, but every time I hear it, I feel sad because I can't help but think about the story from that series.
