Hi my name is Brandi Elkin im 21 years old Im from Punxsutawney, Pennsylvaina. I have always had an interst in art I mostly had drawn alot but about 2 years ago I discovered the world of paint..Well Acrylic paint..So Im new to the painting sceen..But all of my paintings are originals and one-of-a kind...If you are intersted in any just let me know it might be for sale...And they are cheap...
I havnt tryed oils yet so if anyone who happen to have any pointers on using oils or acrylic let me know...I would love to here from anyone i love feedback good or bad :)...you can contact me through myspace or facebook or email me at standpenart@gmail.com
it was hard. have never done anything like this. but if it wasnt for you i probley wouldnt of so thank you Jules for pushing me to do it. :) and im hoping to make something of myself someday :D thanks agian jules you inspire me and bring things out of me that i didnt think i could do like this drawing :D your awsome
Seeing this selfportrait-every moment I am thinking-you will open your closed eyes!
im not to good with eyes so i figured i would do one of me sleeping maybe someday ill do one with my eyes open for ya thanks agian it means alot
thanks agian
aww you have no idea how much that means to me
thanks Roy
wonderful close up composition. You do the next one in colour ? Kind regatrds Robert
You can draw, this is proof. It's only you that holds you back from your true self in art. Drawing only intimidates because of self doubt, and I can just picture you frustrated with your won work at times. I know, I was the very same way, only drawing was where I started. Pencil in my hand is where I am most comfortable. Painting, watercolors, pastels, experimentation were my self doubting demons. They are there because we want perfection like we think we see in other artist's. It sure is intimidating to see the works of others that are so wonderfully awesome, and thinking we could never achieve that. We may not, but maybe we aren't suppose to.
I give you a 5 star but this one is worth far more.
For the eyes, I can teach you, if you like? =)
Happy St Patrick's Day! It's my birthday! Woo hoo!
the funny thing Janet i can draw a eye only one i cant seem to do two so yea if you have any tricks for drawing two haha let me know. thanks agian janet your a sweetheart. and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

the shading is just perfect and your use of light is soft and tender. You captured your youth combined with your 'too old for you age' emotions. the romance and innocence and your blue side are all there. big kiss for a great selfportrait!

After reviewing this and other works by you, I must ask if you produced this image entirely by hand without the use of computer or photomechanical aids? Your answer is very important to me and many others on this site who wonder.
you have a georgous model to work from, and youve done her justice- which could not be easy. ;)
you are such a great artist! and i seen that you said its your first one?!?!? wow! what a talent!
sorry i havnt been online in forever! could you email me @ mark@hotmail.com, please??!??? id love to talk with you! my myspace is unavailable at the moment.
again, WOW!!!!!!

You make some damn good art yourself

Now, this self portrait is more than nice, it is magnificent,maybe in future you will paint another one, where your attractive blue eyes will be seen .I can imagine what a great portrait it will be.
My best wishes to you, Aneli
