A dent in my portrait challenge

When I first thought of the idea to make 100 portraits I had no idea how long it would take or how hard it would be.  I guess I thought that I could finish one portrait a day and not get worn out by the idea.  Thing is I could do that and finish them up a lot faster, but I have other things that I want to do with my free time, which means my portrait challenge is going to take a shit ton longer then I originally thought (A whole CRAP ton longer).

So here is the next set of portraits.  (Make sure to click on one of the images to view the slide show.)










For the last one I recorded the process I went through to complete it.  It's sped up to 3 minutes and 45 seconds.  The actual time is around 2 hours 45 minutes.

Olympics

I have been glued to the Olympics.  I'm really loving it all.  SO many great athletes to follow and it just started.  Not to mention there has already been some controversial moments in a couple of events.

This is the first time that I have been able to follow the Olympics to this extent.  Usually I have to work and I'll catch a couple of events when I get home, and even then it was only part of an event.

This year I've become a fan of the gymnastics, boxing, beach volleyball, and soccer.  With all of this going on it's been a little difficult to stay focused on my art work.  But, that's why I have two monitors.  I can watch the Olympics on one and do some drawings on the other.  Hopefully I'll have some new artwork to post here soon.
