hi all - please read and help me out

[Mary Thorpe]

hi

im trying to improve my drawing .
i use photographs and draw from them and i know there are lots of images on web i could use but id rather be able to reference and credit the photo i draw from.

im also hoping that some of you lovely people will be able to post portraits up here that will send me out of my usual- head on pose

so what im asking for is please please would anyone mind if i used your photo's to draw from???

[Nina Zondag]

Sure! What kinda portraits do you want, just any that aren't head on? I have quite a few

The same girl different perspective

This was not a scrap of make up and natural lighting

[Mary Thorpe]

@michellegaynor

thanks :0
are they eyelashes?

[Michelle Gaynor]

The first picture ~ yes big fakes!! It is my daughter and she was chosen as a "non-model" to be involved in a community fashion show (5'8" and skinny, go figure). This was a practice 'make up'. She is featured (naturally she's my girl) a lot in my project. But the pictures in full make up March 2011.

[Mary Thorpe]

lol.
looks good :) @michellegaynor

[Mary Thorpe]

@twocups

@jjefferies

Thanks :)

[jason]

[Mary Thorpe]

@jsilver

thanks :) definately different

[jason]

@mjkthorpe i might actually end up painting this one at some point. i think it will make for a great piece.

[Debbie]

[Debbie]

Hi, you've probably got enough by now, but incase you haven't, these are my daughter and her boyfriend

[Mary Thorpe]

@stoat
thanks

[Jeff Walker]

do you want any non portraits?

[Mary Thorpe]

@jsw0109

i open to ideas although i havent drawn anything but cartoons and portraits for a long time.

what are u thinkin?

[Jeff Walker]

a slight challenge, but I've always thought this could be awesome as a drawing....

[Mary Thorpe]

@jsw0109

hmmmm im up for a challenge :) ill let u know when i do this one

[Meagan]

I obviously take a lot of photos of my kids.. I think portraits are challenging (drawing anyway). But my sister in law is an artist and she loves painting these one's. Feel free!

[Mary Thorpe]

@meagang

thank you very much- children are always complex to draw for me. :)

[Bankmann]

I wouldn't mind having this turned into a drawing:

[Stacey]

This could be cool as a drawing?

[Stacey]

@mjkthorpe @stoat I vote she draw this, it would look fantastic! The killer eyelashes!

[Mary Thorpe]

@newbie

could work- would be interesting to try

@bankman

love that angle- will def attempt it

[Debbie]

@newbie they're stunning aren't they - and all her own !

[Mary Thorpe]

@stoat

ohhhhh lucky girl.

btw when i do any drawings and post them- if u ask me then im happy to let you save them and print them providing my signiture and date are left on :)

[Julie]

Not sure if these will work for you but thought i'd post anyway

[Rachel Hope]

Here are a few:

[Kim]

Would love this as a drawing if you already don't have enough to do. This isn't on 365 but you can email me for the original if you need it bigger.

my father was an artist, as is my mother. I have 3 pastel portraits my mother did of me, as 3yrs, high school, and college. The picture above is my father.

[Rachael]

I think this would make for a challanging drawing
