SELF PORTRAIT - Unfinished

Two days ago I did my first portrait ever. I was very happy with it, but it did not resemble me that much so I sat in front of the mirror again and started a new one. This one isn't finished yet but I love how it looks at this point so I thought I should post it. I can't wait to be done with it and to post the final version of it here.

Mediums used: graphite.

SCHOOL DOODLES: SORRY

God! It's been months since I last posted on here. I am aware that my blog is not that popular and not many people follow my posts but I still feel the need to say sorry for not posting.
Actually if you follow me on Instagram you probably know that I have not totally stopped doing art, it's just that I haven't posted anything here.
I will try posting more frequently from now on, I promise.
In this post I will show you some doodles straight out of my school notebooks.
I think that doodles are very fascinating for some reason and I find they are really interesting to look at. I hope you will enjoy mine.

Until my next post xxxx

BANKS PORTRAIT: GODDESS

Goddess, Banks' debut album is finally here - today is the release day! It is beautiful, definitely one of my favorite alums this year along with Ultraviolence, which is my definite favorite Lana Del Rey album so far.

Anyways! Back to Banks, the star of this post. As the name of her album says, she literally is a Goddess. Her voice is very beautiful, her lyrics left me speechless and it all sounds perfect. I totally recommend this album to everyone because it is such an allure. You can buy it on iTunes here, or get a hard copy here.
Banks is definitely an artist that I am very interested in seeing live because she is stunning, and I am without a doubt going to a gig of hers if she decides to tour in Macedonia (which of course I hope she does)
Here is my portrait of her,

Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

LANA DEL REY PORTRAIT: ULTRAVIOLENCE

Lana Del Rey's album Ultraviolence is officially released today, and because of that I decided to do a new portrait of her. As a reference I took a really beautiful photo shot by Kurt Iswarienko for New York Times.
You can buy Ultraviolence on iTunes now by clicking here. iTunes sadly do not sell music in Macedonia so I can only get a hard copy of the album and I have already pre-ordered the deluxe box set. I am truly impatient to get it so I can listen to all the songs which I assume are breathtaking.

Hope you guys like it.

LANA DEL REY PORTRAIT: OFF TO THE RACES

Maybe she did not win a Grammy this year, but Lana keeps on inspiring me. This time the reference I used is from an old photoshoot.

The start.

In the progress.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

LANA DEL REY PORTRAIT: I'M YOUR NATIONAL ANTHEM

Lately I have been listening to "National Anthem" by Lana Del Rey a lot and I just remembered an old illustration of one of the looks from the video so I thought that I should try to recreate it after 18 months.

Materials used: graphite.

While working on it.

The finished product. A better picture soon.

Looking forward to hearing your opinions in the comments.

LADY GAGA AND IGGY AZALEA PORTRAITS

If you are following me on Instagram, you probably know that I've done a few fashion illustrations during the recent Paris Haute Couture week, but you won't see them here because I am not really happy with how they look, sorry. Anyway, I have also done a portrait of Lady Gaga.
Mediums used: graphite and charcoal

I did a portrait of Iggy Azalea too and to be honest I am quite happy with how it turned out.

 By the way I also added the photo that I Instagrammed, below, because I kinda edited the portrait after scanning it.

Hope you liked my drawings and stay tuned for more!
