Chris' book - bluish entry from Marina

Hello everybody!
After years of break I was happy and excited to get back to this great group! I've forgot how fun it was - all these Moly exchanges, interacting with different artists from all over the world!
So here it comes - Chris' book with my entry. I don't really know how I've come to this image, maybe that's what Chris' cool photographs associate with for me.

Chris, hope you like it!
All I need now is to find a pigeon and send it to.... Who's next?

Mustaches All Around

Hey Friends,

Here's my entry in Anna D's portrait book. This is a complete spinoff of what I usually make. It was very experimental and I was aggressive. I hope you like it Anna D. I'm very sorry it's late. There was a lot of thought and time put into this one. That and babies take a lot of time.

Also for those interested, I'm posting the hi-res to flickr. Just click into "Actions" then "View all Sizes" and select "Original".

Congratulations

Arianah Elyse

Chris on your new addition!

A preview of Anna's book - in progress

I just wanted to pop in since I haven't posted in a while (except in comments). I've been rehashing this portrait for a while. This has been my most elaborate preparation. I finally worked up the courage to put my ink in Anna's book. I laid the lines in today. After the lines work dried I got bold and added the first layer of color. I've never done anything like the entry I'm working on in this book. And honestly, it tends to scare me (pottymouth!)-less. But this is why I love Moly_X so much. I'm constantly challenged to make something new.

Here's a taste of something new from me.

Lisa's book

I finished up Lisa's book today. I've been experimenting with water soluble graphite lately and this book seemed to fit in well with that. Robin's entry before mine was a large facial spread in pencil. I'm pretty happy overall with my painting of Lisa, not so much of myself. I would have preferred to leave myself out completely! Maybe I just need more self portrait practice. It was difficult to even find a picture of myself. But rules are rules :D

I hope you like it Lisa. Oh also, this is just a snap taken with my iPhone. I'll scan a hi-res image tomorrow and post it to flickr.

Edit: I added the scanned image.

Sign in

I might have gotten a little carried away. Pick your pigeon and sign in. What you can't see is I've already drawn 14 other pigeons (in pencil) for you to choose from. Feel free to use my pigeon or make your own. Do what you wish, maybe just a line drawing pigeon, or maybe add color like I did. Completely up to you.

Now I've got to do my portrait. I'll be sending it off to you soon Lady Orlando!
