How to use this Page

So sweet! How lovely to enter into life with John's song. Mine was "It's only make believe" by Conway Twitty.

supeerr , i love the font that make it such psychedelic look
:)

I must be just a bit older than you, Andrea, when I first heard the Beatles I was a senior in high school. They absolutely defined my college years, and much of the rest of my life. I like the font you used because it's the same as that found on the cover of one of their fab albums, "Rubber Soul." And, btw, great sketch!

thanks for the wonderful pic of john. it's funny that you would mention john and yoko because i was in art school then and we listened to that album every day during class. i shared a birthday with john(i'm 12 years younger). we were both born in the year of the dragon. i remember every detail of that awful night just like i remember every detail of the day kennedy was shot. i was in 6th grade in dallas. both men changed the world. all you need is love.

A few years ago when George Harrison passed away I saw the news report while a passing TV and remarked to one of my (university) students that it was hard to believe that the Beatles were now down to two. She looked at me and asked, "Who are the Beatles?"

I never felt older than that moment.

Cheers, guys.

Oh God, Rob, that's depressing!

Jim, I copied John from the Rubber Soul cover, but I turned it upside down and drew him upside down. Does that make sense?

Thanks, folks.

Very nice drawing, thanks.

i really liek the softness in his face that you've captured!

cute one, though I didn't get the upside down thing

Your portraits are so fun! I love seeing them!

love this! reminds me of Elizabeth Peyton's portraits.. only different, distinctly you

you've got some good likenesses!

You have lovely friends.

Beautiful line work. Love your quick drawings. They are so full of life and energy.

Brilliant! I can't believe how speedily you did them - well done! A whole block of post-it notes. That must look so cool. I like these faces. Is that Alan Bennett? Great work.

Cool characters!

andrea these are awesome....i have yet to find the courage to draw people from tv/magazines :)
i get their outline and have and empty head...awesome work!

Andrea--
I think this is a great idea and I am going to try it. The drawing of faces and figures is what most of my students hate. I am going to pass on this idea.

What FUN and a fabulous exercise!

These are really wonderful--I love the idea of using Post-its!
I tried to draw an actor in a film once (and didn't get far!), so I appreciate how difficult it is to do this, how quickly you have to observe and draw!

Amazing!! You must have a fantastic visual memory! You have terrific looking friends!

Your portraits are fantastic - and you manage to keep your personnal style, I'm awed (it seems so easy when I look at your clear lines, but I know it's not!)
Loved your drawing of the wine cork, it's amazingly realistic!

Andrea! You have all of US as your friends!! I come here every day to see what you have done. You have a wonderful talent!!

Great drawings!!

I love these post-it portraits. They have character.

I do this too, not on post-it notes, but on paper. It is very difficult, but such good practice. I love going out into public and trying out my "sketching" skills on the general public. Sometimes I give them away; but mostly I try to be very subversive and covert.

I like the idea of drawing people, but I know what you mean about drawing people in your life :-) keep showing us..
BTW - I'm so sorry to say I still did not receive the molezines :-(
I posted the bracelet on 1 Feb, they said if would take 10 days .. di you get it yet?
Hugs

Thanks, guys.

This was a fun project. I am now completley obsessed with drawing people and faces. I don't know where it came from but I like it.

I now find myself looking at everybody with different eyes. All day long, I'm thinking 'hmmmm, I'd like to draw your face'. I shall pluck up the courage to do it outdoors soon!

Pippa, yes, it is suppposed to be Alan Bennet. I'm quite proud of that one.

Terry, thank you! I'm so thrilled that you'll pass on this idea. I have plans to develop the idea, too. So keep tuned.

Thanks everybody.

These are wonderful - a great way to start. But they are also finished pieces and I for one would be delighted to keep portraits this loose and fast. I look forward to seeing where you take this....
Reminds me of an exercise Danny Gregory gave to us, his students:

Good for you! This is a great idea, and I think your portraits are terrific. Don't be afraid to do this in public. Just sit with your back to the wall in a coffee shop and go to it. No one will know what you're doing! nancy

Great job! Wonderful, quick little sketches and they have so much life and character in them. A problem that lots of portraits have is they look stiff and flat. These are wonderful studies. Good for you! Can't wait to see more!

You are great at this! A natural! I do what you said in your comment, too - I will walk by someone, see the lips, and draw them in my mind. I am totally taken with human faces. I have to force myself to draw the bodies.

Now, about drawing in public..Do it! Go to a place where you can catch them at an angle, so you have a 3/4 view. They won't be looking towards you, but you will be at the best angle to get an interesting drawing. Maybe target someone totally engaged in conversation. (The secret is that most people assume that whatever you are doing has nothing to do with them, and they couldn't care less about you anyway.) Warning: once you start, you won't stop. It's addictive..(and very antisocial) :)

No, I TOTALLY understand. It's like a fever that sets on you, and all you can do is turn into a people-drawing machine.

Great work, by the way.

I love the Post It Note People. Go ahead and draw people. I am drawing Heads too! Not from Magazines though and noone to be recognized. I am drawing Non-realistic faces and bodies right now. I had to get something to energize me. So glad you are doing faces-- Go ahead -- Go outside and draw faces. I have done so. No one cares.
What is funny the ones that catch are the Toddlers. One little cute boy - Just a Baby. He word Pencil, He could say Pen shuil. He just stared at my box of pencils and pointed at my marks on paper.
Wonderful time! So, draw in public.
Oh, If you want encouragement - to draw= to do faces check out Suzi Blu's blog and free videos. She is the most is stating -Do your Art- Practice Practice Practice! If you do not draw the Circle of the Face and give it eyes and find the hairline-- It is you must practice Your craft. So, using the 3 eye method draw your eyes and Ball nose and M lips and put a Circle a around them -- The shorter the face the younger it appears- The longer the face and nose - the older it becomes. Enjoy!

Love the poem, and love the style! I mean, I am so used to your super detailed, ultra-realistic and fine cross-hatching drawings... and this is just a nice side of you I believe we rarely have seen.
:)
I am not sure what kind of technical issues you're having, but I hope you'll find your answers soon.

Lovely Andrea! You do "loose" very well!

Thanks, peeps.

I think this is one of my most favourite drawings that I've ver made! Strange, I know. I think getting success from working in a way you wouldn't normally work always feels better.

Anyway, I have finished the whole block of post it notes, with tiny one minutes portraits, and will post them all soon.

Thanks, y'all.
