We’re only on week 2 of Portraits 123 and already my students are hard at work and showing massive improvement! I have to say to all of you, you are showing visual improvement from one picture to the next and the sheer volume of work you’re all churning out as practice pieces is incredible! Here’s [...]
On today’s live show I was catching up on my 29 Faces by working on some action figures. These are the Marvel Avengers, based loosely in the film characters, but not really intended to look exactly like them, just approximately. The show was recorded and will be available on iTunes later today, or if you’re impatient [...]

Want to play? Come on over to rhomany.org.uk/classes. Every week we have a new master artist to learn from and try their style, and a journal art prompt to help us along. Last week we were in the Renaissance doing portraits. This week we’re in turn-of-the-century Germany looking at Expressionism and texture. Come and play!
Portraits 1 will teach you the basics of drawing female portraits in front, side and 3/4 profile, using my original system that takes all the guesswork out of working out where to place what on the page. Ideal for beginners and those who already draw alike, this course shows you how to draw stylised portraits [...]

Here’s some of what they’ve achieved in the last ten days and some of their comments regarding what they think of the class so far.
On today’s live show I was catching up on my 29 Faces by working on some action figures. These are the Marvel Avengers, based loosely in the film characters, but not really intended to look exactly like them, just approximately.
The show was recorded and will be available on iTunes later today, or if you’re impatient you can catch it on Blip TV.
And here’s the close ups, before they get coloured…
Went to see The Avengers last night, which is one of the best movies I’ve seen in years, so I thought I’d do a montage since I got a bit behind with #29Faces due to #Portraits123.
Just rough right now to get the spacing, then I’ll start making them look more like the characters. 9.5 x 9.5″ art journal.
Clockwise from left; Hulk, Hawkeye, Iron Man & Nick Fury.

29 Faces in May is a month long challenge run by Ayala over at ilove2paint.blogspot.co.uk where, funnily enough, you draw and upload 29 Faces in May. It really is that simple.
What are you waiting for? All you Journal Artists busy doing portrait classes should be over there signing up and sharing your work. It doesn’t have to be finished or perfect, it just has to be a face you did in May. Check out the guidelines here and there’s a Facebook group as well for those of you who are on there.
I’m not normally one to join challenges, but I’m mostly working on portraits these days so I figured I might as well.
