PYROGRAPHY PORTRAITS by WoodLuv: April 2013

My New Blog

If you're finding my blog already and there's not much here yet, you're one of the privilaged first visitors =) Over the next few days, I'll be posting my first entrys of some of my first Pyrography Portraits - Wood burned Portraits. Check back soon, and I hope they inspire you!

I may sometimes post with smaller entries and fewer picture for each, posting as I move through a portrait, instead of putting it all up there at once. Partly so it's easy for me and maybe, too, so it's more fun for you, with the anticipation of what's coming next, right?!

Pyrography Portrait My Boys No. 3

Wow, I actually am doing another blog entry! Amazing! Here's the next stage of shading. I worked a loooooong time on the hair and hoodie. The depth of shading was quite layered.

Then I forgot to take pictures for a fair bit of the next stage. I worked extensively on the shading of the shirts and deepening the previous work as I went. I think the arm sleeve was most fascinating for me, as I watched it move from flat to contoured and supple. I learned so much through this stage about shading and light. I still have allot to learn, but I love the progress and the effects along the way.

As I started filling in the background, I loved watching the main images start to deepen and gain some depth. And of course, I kept going back and touching up more of their faces and clothing, as I went.

I will post the last photos in my next post, which I hope is sooner than my average! Fun, fun, fun! =)

Hope you're liking the pic.s And have an awesome day! =)
