This is an oil painting of my boyfriend John. :love:

It was a painting I did for my Painting II class; however, I also made it part of his Valentine's Day present. (The rest of his presents included tickets to see Nintendo's Official: The Legend of Zelda Symphony of the Goddess :dance:, an X-Men tshirt, and a special sweetheart pillow).

We've been together for almost 2 1/2 years, and this was our third Valentine's Day together. It was AMAZING.

When you say 'graphite' under media, does this mean you are drawing the image first and with pencil?

Yes. Graphite = pencil.

Is it a detailed and shaded underdrawing you do in graphite first, then glaze in oil?
I love all the beautiful dramatic shading you do on all your figures. The pose seems simple, but it has a lot of challenges in it--perspective, white shirt, colourful skin tones. You've certainly tackled them all with grace! The result is stunning. Thank you so much for sharing!

Yes, I do an underdrawing in graphite (only shading the skin...the rest is simple line work); however, the graphite can take anywhere from an hour to 6 or 7 hours alone, which is why I always include it in the description of my paintings.

I'm very happy you like my work. Thank you for taking the time to comment! :hug:
