The Portrait Party 7 - Carol Huddleston

Carol Huddleston said she had difficulties with my mouth. It may seem a little big, but the portrait resembles me pretty well. And I love the way she drew the glasses.
A few weeks ago I dyed my hair a very light copper. Now it seems to get more orange by the day. I like it. It´s different and I specially like all the portraits showing me as a red head.

This is my portrait and I had difficulties with her nose. Actually she has a delicate slim nose and the portrait just doesn´t do the real nose justice.

Update:
I have two favorites now. This portrait doneby Carol Huddleston and the one by Jennifer Lee. Thanks Carol. The more I look at it, the more I forget it is only a drawing. :)

The Portrait Party 6 - Roy Mosby

Roy Mosby is my next portrait partner for The Portrait Party. The portrait is a beautiful pencil drawing. Here´s the pic he drew:

Roy sent me 2 pics of himself. They were so completely different from each other that I thought which ever I would take as a guideline, the portrait would never look like the real person. So I just made a pirate out of him.

The funny thing is that the day after I drew his pirate portrait I received a portrait of myself as a pirate. Let´s start a Pirate Party!

The Pirate Is Back ... (The Portrait Party 5)

... with lots of treasures. ;)

I came back from Amsterdam yesterday late at night. It was a great and relaxing stay - well except for the last night (but that´s another story). Today morning I drove to my mom´s place to get the kids and there is a lot to be done here. And we´ll be having guests this and next week and I have quite some portraits to complete the next week. So I´ll let you know later about my experiences and the tons of souvenirs from Amsterdam.

Damien Weighill from London sent me this wonderful pirate portrait. I love the beard and the treasure and the eye flap and the hair and the blouse and ... I could go on ...
In case you want your portrait done by him just send him a pic of yours. He plans to do all requests. He´s a little camera-shy so he doesn´t exchange portraits, but he did start a competition where he wanted people to draw him how they imagined him to look like. I think he looks like a skater-kind of guy, but when I drew him he turned out way too well-behaved and ordinary-looking. I´m sure he doesn´t look like this.

Is this Damien Weighill? BTW: He also likes to fulfill wishes.
