Perrie Edwards Drawing

As many may know Little Mix, a girl band from the uk who won the x factor in 2011. There all very stunning and are currently getting known across the world with there catchy tunes, Wings, DNA, how you doin to name a few.
I  plan on drawing all four of the girls however I started of with dawing the beautiful, Perrie Edwards.
With her ever changing hair colour and her big round eyes I thought it would be good to start with her as alot of her features looked really good to draw. For example her eyes are very bold and quite dark which I like drawing as it defines them and there is alot of detail to capture.
The drawing took me a total of about 5 hours to complete which was drawn over a period of two days. This is mainly due to me getting distracted haha.

Caroline Flack Drawing

I recently did a drawing of the beautiful Caroline Flack. Best known for being a Uk presenter on the Xtra factor, A spin off show that is on after the main X factor show in the Uk. I stumbled across a picture of her online and thought it would make a great a picture for me to draw.

It took me a total time of 6 hours to complete the drawing but I completed it over a period of 2 days.
I only used one pencil which was a simple HB pencil as thats all I had to hand at the time.
unlike my other drawings where I have used different pencils to create different looks.






 
check out my youtube video
to see the full making of the drawing.

Under the watchful eye

I was very lucky to be able to experiance and go along on a day out to photograph birds of prey at Eagle Heights.
As part of a photographic day I along with a few others were able to capture and have a first hand look at the birds at this great place.
Eagle heights is based in Kent and is a great place for a family day out or as a great way to catch pictures of birds in flight.
I was fortunate enough to get hands on experience and have the time to be allowed to photograph these wondefrful birds.
They range from Vultures, Owls, Eagles etc and even have cheetahs, meerkats and camels along with other animals too.
to check out there website visit http://www.eagleheights.com

Here is a small selection of the pictures I took with a total of 513 taken in total. Some of the animals like the Cute racoon on its back I wish I could have cuddled and bought home in my handbag :)











I wanted to bring this little cutie home


This little beauty landed on my head as
beautiful as she is her claws were
deadly sharp.

Harry styles/Marcel drawing

After watching the music video to best song ever by one direction if you haven't checked it out link here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_v9MY_FMcw 
I fell a little bit in love with Marcel (don't deny it marcel was loveable) haha.
after having a small break from drawing I thouht why not get back into the wing of things by drawing Marcel aka Harry. Heres a look at my finished result and also a link to my youtube video showing the whole process.
It took me a total of 4 hours to complete the drawing. Ifound the most time consuming part for me is the mouth because for some reason I just dont feel it was working thew finished result is still to me not spot on but if I was to play about with it to much it would have ruined the drawing altogether. so to some up as lovely as Harry's smile is I can't say I enjoy sketching it.
I have to say though im not the perfect drawer there is so many people better than me and people that could do better.

Instagram obsession

As I've shown I enjoy photography and its probably no surprise that I love Instagram. I might even go as far to say as I'm slightly obsessed. I like to take random pictures and also share my work on there. I just like it as its like a mini portfolio or build up of memories and I like that idea. You'll find a lot I pictures of my precious pooch,fashion,events etc. I want to eventually print out some of my favorites. There's links to my Instagram all over my blog but I'd love it if you'd pop along and check out my pictures or even add a cheeky little follow if your feeling generous.

Updated One Direction Drawing

Recently I began to do quite a bit of portrait drawing as you may have seen in previous posts that I was drawing celebrities etc. Some people had seen my work and family and friends started asking me to draw pictures for them. Whether it be ranging from animals to people.
I previously in 2012 drew One Direction. Which was individual pictures of them rather than a group picture.
I was asked this year to draw them again but for a little girl whose a big fan. Instead of drawing them individually like last time I decided to draw them together one sheet rather than 5 individual portraits. as this then could be used as a poster for this girls bedroom.

Overall the picture took me two days to complete. Getting three of the boys drawn and completing it on the day after.
ive attached a few pictures of my progress of how I made it but have attached my youtube video showing the whole thing from start to finish.

New Jessie J drawing

In my last post I shared my drawing of The beautiful Jessie j. That was drawn over a year ago and I thought it was about time I drew a new one. Currently Jessie is sporting a new style and is looking fresh and has new music coming out therefore I thought it was only right to draw an upto date picture of her. Takin inspiration from her new album cover, wild. Here is the finished piece which took me about 2 hours to complete.

Wedding shoot

¬n one of my previous posts 'run olly run' I mentioned how I had more upcomming things I was doing the photography for. Very recently I was a photographer at a wedding. Which was an amazing day and great to photograph as there was so much to do. There was a ballerina cute little bridesmaids who were constantly asking me for there picture and showing me new poses they had come up with.


Also the wedding was a civil partnership and to delight me even more a cute little pomeranian dog called Dolly was a bridesmaid and had her own cute little frilly dress.
I'm hoping to start up my own buissness involving photography. So far I have quite alot of in terest with more weddings to do, Christenings and even being a photographer fo a karate institute which is a great opportunity.
Here's a few that I took although there are hundreds more
I wouldnt have had the opportunity or the knowledge to do photography if it wasnt for my dad John lewis who is an amazing photographer, hes teaching me everything i need to know and helping me hopefully start my own business so without him I wouldnt be getting these opportunities.







 
 



 
 
 
 
In total I took over 500 pictures and it was a really good day and I really enjoyed photographing it. I have quite a few more events and weddings to do which should be interesting. obviously there is a lot of pictures that I took all of which are different I just shared a few.

Run Olly Run

I recently upgraded my camera to a DSLR I used to have a fujifilm compact, Which I may add is a very good camera with a 15x optical zoom I was impressed by its picture quality. If you've looked at my youtube channel you'll se the video quality as taken from a One direction concert both in different places and from quite far away in some of the videos. I wanted to upgrade though as I wanted to have an SLR as I want to take photography seriously.

Ive upgraded to a canon 1100D which so far seems a lovely camera I had a little play with it and caught a few snaps of my dog running up and down. Using continuous mode I captured my dog playing. I love some of them as his face is quite amusing and as hes a sharpei breed if your not familiar with the breed name they have wrinkles, and when running his face is very loose and its just great to capture.

Heres what I managed to capture.









I like this one as his face is so different and it
shows the power in his run
 




Just added information My cute little pooch is named Olly when in trouble i use Oliver as a joke haha
But I hope to get some more pictures up soon as I have alot in the pipeline
such as wedding photography etc.
xoxo

Jessie j drawing 2012

Last year I drew the wonderful Jessie j its a classic picture of her with her trademark bobbed hair and British flag lips.
If you are not from the Uk you may not be all to familiar with who Jessie j is.
She is a British singer who has sung the likes of (price tag, domino etc)
Recently she Shaved her head to raise money for comic relief. I think she looks stunning and I intend to draw an uptodate version of her .
For now though this is the Drawing I did last year of her.



I wanted to make the picture look more creative and artistic
so I used Charcoal on the hair and blended it out
To make it different to an oridinary portrait.

Riverside




Moi
 

Smile your on camera
 

As previously stated I also love photography and latley I have been trying to get into it more and hope to promote myself a bit more. Ill be photographing wedding and have that as a pole start for me. over the past weeked the weather was beautiful which might I add is a a one off in the uk. But I took the opportunity to grab a camera and pop along to a local riverside to capture some pictures and play about with the camera.
The day was lovely apart from me locking my keys in my car boot meaning I had locked myself and my dad out of my car. However I find things like this amusing so instead of paniking we called for help and thankfully managed to unlock my car (phew) haha.

After the slight disaster we ventured on and there is some lovely places to take pictures such as embankments, old broken brickwork,and the land all varies so there is plenty of opportunity for capturing some lovely scenic pictures.

I thought I'd share some that were taken.
All credit goes to John Lewis (whose also my dad)  for taking these great pictures of me.
