Hi there 😊 My latest UnicornPostbox blog post is progression photos of an amateur Keanu Reeves portrait.. 💗💗

First of all, I used my A3 size light box to trace the outline of my blown up Keanu Reeves photo 📸 I sketched with Fine Art sketching pencils, predominantly 2B grade. I incorporated a Keanu Reeves quote I resonated with, and seemed apt. For the background, I chose two different shades of purple twinmarkers, pink for a love heart and slightly at the bottom and a black promarker to outline and distinguish the subject, quote and to create a block square background. Here is the finished result:

I have so much respect for Keanu Reeves. Not only is he a great actor (admittedly, not in all roles!), appearing for example as the protagonist in many action films, he uses his platform to help others and raise awareness of varying issues, a supporter of many charities. A philanthropic, wonderful human being, deemed as one of the most influential people on the planet. Hence why I was eager to draw a portrait of him 🥰🥰

With regard to the artistry of the portrait itself, I am only amateur, however I hope that with practice I can become over time more photorealistic, and back to the level I was many years ago… YungBlud will be my next pencil portrait, someone else I admire not only as a talented musician but as a kindhearted person 💗💗

Please keep a look out for my next post 😜 Thanks as ever for reading/viewing. Much love, Lauren xx

Hi everyone! My latest UnicornPostbox blog post is progression photos of an amateur Robin Williams portrait.. hope you enjoy! 😄😄

Firstly, I used my light box (cheater ha!) to outline Robin Williams’ head, then started to shade around the eyes, ears area, etc. I love the film ‘Dead Poets Society’, so I incorporated a very poignant famous quote into the design. I then created a square grid, and used blue, purple and green promarker pens to brightly colour the background. Also, I used a black marker to differentiate the squares, the quote and Robin. A yellow bubble around the quote, and a space at the bottom for my artist signature…I very much like pop art and I feel this has a resemblance to the movement..and here is the finished piece:

I am very pleased with the way this one has turned out! I think I have captured a likeness 😊 I intend to draw more celebrities/ actors/ actresses/musicians I like etc, and build up a portfolio 😊

I have a gorgeous Peacock diamond art to start 💎🎨 and a new pub painting at the end of the month, so watch this space! 🥰

As always, thank you so much for reading/viewing..take care, Lauren xx
