Poseidon by Rubén Belloso Adorna

So admired of his work, his creativity, imagination and perspective of seeing things. The soft pastel technique was never the first option for me, but after seeing this artwork I'm kinda obsessed with it now. Started a work with pastels, will give u the step by step after I finished it. I hope that so many others will be inspired from me with the soft pastel technique as I was from Ruben.

Chuck Close -  more than just a painter, photographer and printmaker

For more than 30 years, Chuck Close - renowned as one of America's foremost artists in any media - has explored the art of printmaking in his continuing investigation into the principles of perception. This exhibition provides a comprehensive survey of the full extent of Close's long involvement with the varied forms and processes of printmaking, and the first such investigation in more than twelve years of what can only be termed a prodigious accomplishment in the field. Featuring images ranging from 1972 to the present, Chuck Close Prints shows the artist's range of invention in etching, aquatint, lithography, handmade paper, direct gravure, silkscreen, traditional Japanese woodcut and reduction linocut.

Finally back to drawing basics, specially portraits. Along with the hands, portraits are the most difficult body parts to draw. Every person, character, with his spirit inside, is something that puts me to a different challenge every single time. Makes me research, study and develop something that is 3D to a 2D version that looks like 3D, searching something between perfect art and perfect photography...

Emma Watson painting

I don't know how much this is a painting or its just a photoshoped photography, anyway if it is a painting its a really good one. It gives u a calm feeling when u look at it, everything is in harmony and everything looks like its made with just one color , only adding white and black to the same one to make the tones
