Faces

Painting portraits has always fascinated me. Even when I was young, I really liked drawing faces rather than landscapes. I would draw people, cartoon characters and even pets. I really enjoyed doing it. I have come a long way from doing stick figures though. :)

To me, portrait painting is more than just a "pretty" face. What I aim to achieve when I draw is to bring out the soul, the character of the person I am drawing. I prefer to draw in watercolour since it is my favourite medium. I also did some works in pastel, oil and graphite.

I'd say, portrait painting is very challenging. Every line and stroke could alter or destroy the essence or identity of the person you are painting. It takes great patience and passion to really come up with a good piece.

Here are some of my works in different mediums. Hope you enjoy! :D
