Description

The listing, FREE 8x10 Commissioned Pencil Drawing has ended.

As the winner you will get a custom one of kind pencil drawing by me of anything you want. (except animals...I don't do animals). The photos above are only examples of my work.
Just send me a HIGH QUALITY & CLEAR photo and I will turn it into a unique piece of art. Keep in mind that I can only draw what I see so the better the photo the better the drawing. This auction is for an 8x10 drawing ONLY.
Also please allow between 1 to 3 weeks plus shipping time for me to complete a drawing. If you need it for a specific event that is sooner please let me know.
I decided NOT to include a GIN option because I want to give everyone a fair chance to bid on it. It's more exciting this way :)
If you have any questions at all please don't hesitate to leave a comment. I will answer any and all questions and will fan every single person back.
**For the first time I am offering international shipping! For a price of $6.00. I have never done this before so I am charging a fee as a precaution. Please remember that when bidding.
Thank you so much for your continued support :D
Have fun and happy bidding!

Jun 12th, 2011 at 5:43:48 PM PDT by

Im self taught,...wow,... I got a long ways to go.

Jun 12th, 2011 at 9:02:14 PM PDT by

I am also self taught. I took a few classes here and there, but i found the best way was practice and trying new techniques. I still think I have a long way to go to get where I want to be so it's all about perspective I think. Thanks for your comment :)

Jun 12th, 2011 at 9:19:09 PM PDT by

Wow! What a talented artist you are! I myself like art, drawing, painting, and anything else that involves art, creating and colors; I love creating color pictures rather then black and white, but I love your work so much! I can only imagine how much more effort and time it involves to create the right shading to make the picture look real! Fanned, hope you fan back :)

Jun 13th, 2011 at 12:50:34 AM PDT by

thank you! I appreciate your comment so much. I admire all kinds of art as well, especially those using color. I've always wanted to learn to paint. I used to watercolor years ago, but very briefly. My mother is a painter so maybe one of these days I'll just steal a canvas and some paints and just see what comes out lol.

Jun 13th, 2011 at 8:13:49 AM PDT by

Can you do a picture of two people?

Jun 13th, 2011 at 8:52:19 AM PDT by

yes I will do up to two people. The size is 8x10 so 2 people will be my limit. Thanks for a great question!

Jun 13th, 2011 at 9:33:37 AM PDT by

Wow, that's so cool to have someone in your family who is a pro in art; I also had a few very artistic family members, but some I never met and now there are done:( but I guess you don't really need to worry about that if the talent was just passed on to you. What kind of pictures does your mom draw/paint? I checked some of your other auctions, I can see you are not just great at drawing but also in creating your own beautiful creations; do you perphaps like beading or sewing or anything in that nature? Thanks for replying :) By the way does your mom or you have an art gallery yet? Also did you ever try using carcoal or pastels; just curiuos. Sorry for a lot of questions:/

Jun 13th, 2011 at 10:04:42 AM PDT by

that's ok! i don't mind any questions. i love talking about art :)
my mom mostly paints portraits, but she also has done flowers and still life paintings as well. I remember growing up around art, crafts and music. I'm so glad you liked my other stuff too! I have an Etsy shop where I sell my yoyo accessories (hence my name lol) it's called EmiBelle Designs if you ever want to look it up. I have done some sewing in the past making purses and attempted to make my daughter clothes, but I'll leave that to my mom lol.
We're not part of a gallery right now. We did have a few pieces hanging years ago, but the place shut down not too long ago.
I have tried charcoal and pastels and actually really like them, but the mess is too much for me right now. I have two young children who make enough of a mess on their own lol. Thank you for asking and I hope I didn't ramble on too much!

Jun 13th, 2011 at 12:19:56 PM PDT by

I love this!!!! Fanned you..please fan me back.

Jun 13th, 2011 at 12:08:09 PM PDT by

thank you! :) fanned ya back

Jun 13th, 2011 at 12:10:55 PM PDT by

Thank you for replying, I appreciate that! I also love not only talking about art but creating art pieces as well! Your mom must have lots of patience creating those still life paintings; not that long ago when I still had the class in art school I tried creating a still life picture with charcoal; first of all charcoal isn't my favorite and after finally finishing that picture I decided that still life category isn't my favorite either! :/ Do you mainly create portraits? I haven't done any real portraits myself but I do enjoy drawing people, animals and nature in general. I also like using pencil alot, not black and white theme though because I just like color more, it adds live to the whole picture... You mentioned that you also like applying color to your artwork; Do you also use pencil on those? And what other categories do you focus on besides portraits, or the portraits your only interest? Thanks for answering my previous questions and here I come again with more questions for you; hope you don't mind:) Once again thank you, it's been awhile when I last talked with an artistic person with silimar interests to mine:) Hope you also enjoy it:)

Jun 13th, 2011 at 3:13:12 PM PDT by

Jun 14th, 2011 at 4:35:54 PM PDT by

Thank you for replying, I appreciate that! I tryed posting my reply about 30 minutes ago, didn't work; must have been too long, will try to make it shorter this time :)
First of all I want to say that your mom has alot more patience with still life than I do; last year in my art class I did a still life picture with charcoal and didn't like it at all, not to mention that charcoal isn't my favorite:/
I was also wondering if portraits are your only interest area or do you also like drawing other elements as well? I myself like drawing people,animals, and nature in general...
Earlier you mentioned that you also like applying color to your work, doesn't it just make the picture come alive! Do you use pencil with color as well?
Once again thank you for responding; it's been awhile when I talked to an artistic person with similar interests like mine...Hope you also enjoy it :)

Jun 13th, 2011 at 4:08:39 PM PDT by

I've always drawn people and it just kinda stuck with me. I also love drawing the body and clothing, different textures if it's a still life. I don't draw animals only because I don't have a lot of practice and it doesn't particularly interest me. I've done some color pieces in the past, but not very good lol.l I might have to try it again. I like pencil and black and white for the contrast. Black and white drawings and photos are so beautiful, to me anyways lol. But I just recently visited the local museum and was blown away by the paintings so I might have to try that as well!
But hat's how you know what you like and what you're good at, by trying new things and being opened minded. It's great that you are trying new things! if you ever want to show me your work I would love to see it. My email is theartofjes@gmail.com. It's not a personal email so I'm with sharing it :) Thanks for the art talk! I'm always glad to discuss anything creative with people who are interested in the same. :)

Jun 14th, 2011 at 7:43:14 AM PDT by

If you want any further information about my process you can visit my website at theartofjes dot com ...lose the word dot and plug in the period.
It explains about what kind of picture is preferable, my email address, etc. You can also look at some of my other drawings there and other stuff I'm working on. It is NOT a store, there is no shopping cart or PayPal button anywhere on my website. Just had to put that disclaimer in there :) Thanks for looking!

Jun 10th, 2011 at 11:40:30 PM PDT by

Wow, u r really good! I have an auction listed for drawings as well, but you are waaaaayyy better than I am!! I am going to have to practice a little more to catch up with you!!

Jun 13th, 2011 at 9:42:41 PM PDT by

thank you :) Good luck on your auction!

Jun 13th, 2011 at 10:35:55 PM PDT by

If you're not doing this professionally as a full time job, you should be. Very...VERY impressive!

Jun 14th, 2011 at 8:13:25 AM PDT by

Thank you so much for your kinds words :) I'm trying hard to do this professionally actually! I just got my website up and running these past 2 months so it's still pretty new. This site has helped me get in the flow of drawing on a regular basis and giving me exposure and for that I'm so grateful.
