Im 19 and Ive been using images from the internet to draw. Celebrities mainly, to progress my skills. But now I want to start producing art that is mine but not sure where to get reliable sources and Im not interested in the idea of family and friends to draw from.
Use your imagination. But I believe every artist uses reference picture anyway to draw good portraits
Where can a portrait artist get sources?
how to locate a portrait without an artist name?
I found a beautiful portrait of a girl at a garage sale. the portrait doesn’t have an artist’s name on it and google searching isn’t helping either. I would love to find out more about it, is there a website i could use to find more about this print?
http://tineye.com/login – check this site, it helps you find original images and can even find pics which have been partially altered. FireFox users may install the "tineye"-plugin.
Looking for a modern portrait artist?
I’m looking for an artist who focuses mainly on portraits to study as part of my A level course. I’m interested in art that makes a statement, i also like ‘gritty’ and dark artwork. It’s preferable that the artist is modern and they MUST be reasonably well established.
I’m allso interested in the use of text within artwork.
Try Lucian Freud, who can certainly be described as a "portrait artist," though portraiture isn’t entirely his genre. As he says, he likes to paint people, and his work is often quite "grittt," or at least stark.
Who Is The Best Tattoo Artist for Portrait Work?
I am getting portraits of David Bowie and Julie Andrews currently living in Ireland, looking for the best either in Ireland or the UK. Cant afford to travel to the US at the moment.
Jo Harrison – she’s located in Birmingham, but be warned she’s VERY expensive but she’s very, very good and renowned for what she does!
Please note she does not copy work or art; if you give her a picture, she’ll do what you ask but she’ll put her own ‘persona’ in there, as any good artist does
