Patrick/Jean-Luc

We have always been huge fans of Star Trek in my household, especially during the 90s. When I was pregnant with my daughter we told my mother that if I had a boy we were going to call him Jean-Luc after Captain Picard (our last name is Phippard which sounds very similar to Picard). She was horrified so it became a running joke and we had a daughter so we never had to deliver on that promise (and it wasn’t true anyway, we had already chosen a different name). But this is one of so many reasons why Sir Patrick Stewart has always held a special place in my heart. So there was no one else I could draw today.

Go boldly, Sir Patrick.

Arina

Arina drawn with Copic markers and coloured pencils.

Valeria

Valeria drawn on an iPad Air using Procreate and Renasketch brushes.

I uploaded the finished drawing to the Tone app and added grain and colour filters to create another version of the same drawing below.

Yungblud

We did a Portrait Artist of the Year challenge in yesterday’s Drawing Faces class, drawing Yungblud from a still from the episode he appeared in (season 12, episode 1). We were also inspired by Edie Bound’s winning portrait of him made during that episode, incorporating her bright pink and orange into our portraits.

Anastasia

Anastasia drawn on an iPad Air using RenaSketch brushes in Procreate.

Star

Star drawn with coloured pencils.

Anna

Anna drawn with ballpoint pens.

Ellie

This was such a challenge to draw and there is a lot wrong with this portrait but I’m happy that I did at least capture the spirit of the inspiration photo.

Jacob

Such a weird angle made this tricky but fun draw of Jacob.

Milena

Milena drawn with Copic markers and coloured pencils.
