Hey Heidi (DU post-it portrait art series)

[billyskank]

Recently we have been having a thing where DUers do portraits of other DUers on post-it notes.

I decided to do you, because it gave me an excuse to look at your picture for a time! :evilgrin:

I originally did it in pencil, but that didn't scan well, so I had to go over it in ink:



This is my first attempt at capturing a person. I am quite happy with the result. You have a beautiful round face which is a pleasure to draw! :)

[Heidi]

1. Holy cow!

:blush:

Thank you, my friend. You should be proud. That's a very good drawing! :hug:

[billyskank]

4. Good material to work from

That's the key! :) :hi:

[Clintmax]

2. OMG, Billy!

That's FANTASTIC! Beautiful job, Dude! I'm impressed!

[billyskank]

3. Thanks Clint

You know, I am quite surprised myself. :)

[ghostsofgiants]

5. Very nice...

Does this mean We all need to buy post-it notes and start scouring picture threads for inspiration now?

[billyskank]

6. Maybe

But I didn't start it!

[Heidi]

7. I think that's a great idea!

And it would be good for me, too, because although I love to paint, I'm not so good at drawing. Here's a self-portrait:

[billyskank]

8. I can't paint

If you put us together, we would kick ass! :rofl:

[Heidi]

9. It's weird.

I can draw just fine with a paint brush. :shrug:

[billyskank]

10. Yes you can!

Quite evidently. :toast: :thumbsup:

[yvr girl]

11. Heidi, did you do that painting?

It's beautiful. Wow.

[Heidi]

12. Thank you, yvr girl.

Yes. It's oil on prepared paper, 30 x 30 cm.

Thanks for your nice words. He's a beautiful child, and that helped a lot.

[billyskank]

13. Like I said

Good subject, that's the key! :evilgrin:

[In_The_Wind]

17. Oh Heidi - That is a powerful painting!

[billyskank]

14. The ultimate test

Does it actually look like her?

[Heidi]

19. Yes, and kick. (nt)

[billyskank]

20. Hooray!

And thank you. :hug:

[In_The_Wind]

15. Wow Billy - that is beautiful.

You're showing some real talent there.

[billyskank]

16. Thanks Joani

Not bad for a nerdy computer programmer, eh? :)

I think I might have to practice this some more!

[In_The_Wind]

18. Not Bad At All!

You certainly have lots of DUer's pictures to practice with.
I'm sure anyone of them would be honored by your work.

[cleofus1]

21. nice work

skank meister! this is one of those nice copycat threads that actually requires talent! Good work!

[billyskank]

24. Oh, this is not so much a copycat

I think of it more of a series, inaugurated by you! :bounce:

[SarahB]

22. Very pretty.

Supposedly, I had some work done of me, but I never got to see it. It's very doubtful I ever will.

[billyskank]

23. Give me a link to the red hat pic and I'll do you too

:bounce:

[SarahB]

25. What a nice thing to do.

I've had one of my odd, self-loathing sort of mornings, so it'd be nice. :)

Here you go:

[flvegan]

26. Wow. You're very talented.

On a Post-It Note, no less.

[billyskank]

27. Thanks flvegan!

:bounce:

[billyskank]

28. Kick

Because Heidi is so beautiful :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. Hey billy! I am so glad you kicked this, because I might not have

seen it otherwise.....and this is definitely worth seeing!

Beautiful job! Again, just as with progmom, you have caught her likeness and her spirit.....

These are beautiful ladies, inside and out, and you have captured their beauty wonderfully well.......

Am I worthy to be included in this group? I'd love to have you draw me...but I'm not as introspective in most of my pics....except for perhaps the one I took in my closet.....the smart, sassy one.....

Well, do as you wish......



:hi: :hug:

[billyskank]

31. If you desire

then I will oblige. It may not be today, because I already promised SarahBelle I would do her, and it can take up to an hour per drawing.

If you have a favourite picture you'd like me to draw from then please give me a link, otherwise I'll dig one out and choose myself.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. I would be VERY honored!

How about I post the pic I mentioned in this thread? It is the most interesting one of me, and it is just a head shot......

Today is NOT a requirement! Esp. since your day is now winding down...

Thank you.....:blush:

[billyskank]

33. Sure, post it here!

I'll fit it in, today or tomorrow! (I seem to have discovered a talent).

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. Great..and thank you again! I'll be right back with it...and yes,

you do have considerable talent, my dear billy!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. Dupe...delete..

[billyskank]

35. Kick before bed

Because it's my thread and I can! :bounce:
