More Indian/Bolywood artwork

kittens and portraits

here is one of my latest creations, ive done her hair darker than what it is on the photo im drawing it from, I really enjoyed do this one.

Have done a few other pics but havnt taken photos yet as ive been way too busy adoring these little guys....

Monty and Thomas. Daisy had these lovely little fellows 2weeks ago. I cant believe how much they have grown already. We are so inlove with them, we are keeping them both.

COMMISSSION PORTRAITS

From next mon onward I will be free to take on any commission work. A3 pencil portraits are £20 each (special offer) and if you buy 5 you get 1 free. Believe it or not, now is  a good time ready to order for this christmas as I get really busy towards the end of the year.

Some people I have done work for in the past have opften said that they wished they had more cash around christmas time, as once people had seen what I had created for them, they liked it so much and other people had commented on my work, that they wished they had asked me to do more portraits for them to give to other people. .....So now what a few people tend to do it as soon as they have spare cash they pay me in advance....they could give me £100 whenever they have it spare, then they can order their 5 pics plus the one free anytime later in the year when they need it so they dont have to worry about finding the money at the time. sort of like when you sav eup an dpay everyweek ready for those christmas hampers, only you can cliam your hamper (or in this case , a portrait) anytime, you dont have to wait until christmas.

Portraits make lovely gifts for anniversaries, birthdays, valentines, christmas ,mothers day, fathers day or just an everyday gift to make someone smile or let them know that you love them.
Why not treat yourself and get a new piece of art for your own home or office. It doesnt have to be a picture of a family member, it could be one of your favourite celebrity or even your pet.

On Monday I got to see my friend Nick again after 3 yrs. Also got to give him a portrait of his mother that I did two years ago! Hes off travelling again now so I havnt got a clue when or if I will see him again.

Will have a busy weekend finishing off portraits of my cousins William and Megan for my Auntie Marie and then will start a portrait of my other cousin Kristy for my Auntie Deb.

Need to finish another Indian/Bollywood painting, I started it forever ago but have never been in the right mood to finish it off.

Birthday Prezzie

It was mine and my boyfs birthdays 2weeks ago. He took me to a lovely place called the thai elephant. we had a fab time, we got dressed up and stayed out for hours without me having a panic attack. I bought a new dress aswell :)

the food was amazing and the staff were lovely

My boyfriend Rhodri

because it was my birthday they gave me free icecream

and a silly hat  to wear :)

Rhodri bought me a lovely dress for my bday (not the one im wearing  here) and some lovely flowers for the garden, but unfortunately Pixie (one of my rabbits) ate them :(

Rhodris birthday was the day after mine. I bought him an Anvil CD and painted him a picture of our cat Daisy when she was a baby

drawing

Have doen a few commission pictures which is great as I get to send even more money off to the RSPCA now, but unfortunately the picture uploader on here isnt working for me today so I cant show you my work :(
Will be going to my parents house later so will try on their internet then.

RSPCA

Havnt been on here for a while, no internet access, plus have been ill again and busy.

Am up my parents house today so using their internet, I must say though I havnt been using it to update my other blog or this one properly, ive spent most of the afternoon watching 'kitten/cat' videos on youtube.

I really wish I had lots of videos of my Daisy to put up, because she is so cute and talkative, but as soon as the cameras out she acts all shy.

As you know there are millions of kitten vid sout there, loads of which are super cute and adorable, but one of my favs is

 http://www.youtube.com/user/thecatdiaries

please check these vids out. they will def put a smile on your face.

I am now determined to catch Daisy being cute on camera, its going to be a mission  but I will not give up,

even if I have to hide in cupboards and disguise the camera.

Heres some pics of the little madam

this is the reason I dont get much work done anymore, she either wants to sit on top of what im drawing, or she lies on my lap whislt painting and tries to fight with the paintbrushes, and pulls my leads around the room.

Here she is in her posh christmas collar, I love her tongue poking out, she is such a cheeky lil madam

She simply adores climbing up the curtains, then running back and fore on the curtain pole

I love her fuzzy belly, I wnat to tickle it all the time

I love my spoilt little glamour puss to bits. Shes even got a 3 yr modelling contract :)

ITS NOT JUST CATS I LOVE, IM CRAZY ABOUT ALL ANIMALS, WHICH IS WHY FOR THE NEXT TWO MONTHS

I WILL BE DONATING £5 FROM EVERY DRAWING I SELL, TO THE RSPCA.

Daisy

This afternoon I have been drawing again for my 'Bollywood Beauties' collection.

I have managed to get the outlines and shadow markings for Sonam Kapoor and Amrita Rao done, whilst Daisy (my lil kittycat) sleeps on my lap. I need to go get more pencils but havent got the heart to move the little madam so I'll let ber be for now. I do love her to bits.

Artwork from ages ago

Here are some old graphite portraits commissions and sketches, as I do my work on A3 sized paper its too large for my scanner so Ive used the cmaera to get the pics, however the flash seems to wipe out alot of the detail, but if I turn the flash off the page is too dark...aarrgghhh I wanna scream

ok have totaly given up loading more pictures as they are coming out crazy on here!!!!!!!!!!!!

A sneaky peek at part of the Bolywood Beauties collection

I really hope you all enjoy looking through my work. If you would like to be part of this collection please email novak_designs@yahoo.co.uk for more info. Please enter bollywood beauties as your subject title.

I dont know why but the bottom picture (the drawing) has all squashed up and gone out of size(narrowed) and shape, have no idea how to alter it so letting you know that the picture doesnt actualy look like that it real life
