Hi my name is Julia and I am your host for this weeks Drawing from Description Weekly Challenge.
I came up with this idea and thought it would be neat for people to have a new challenge and have come fun at the same time.


We need people to host for the upcoming weeks. See forum Drawing From Description Rules where you can reserve a slot.

Alle ages and medians are welcomed to be used. Let me know if you had fun too!

This week you will be drawing a person.
This person is a celebrity.
He is a boy.
You are just going to draw his face. Frontal view.
In the picture i picked he could be between the ages of 23-28. I'm not very sure.

  • He has a square shaped face.
  • He has sharp features.
  • His nose is pointy and thin. (not pointy like a witch) yet it seems perfect.
  • He has small eyes. Like slits of eyes. (if you need more clarification let me know) Blueeyes.
  • He has little stubble of facial hair. A mustache but it very little. And the beard is more closer to the chin. Facial hair is very light. (dirty blonde)
  • He has short light hair. (Dirty Blonde) A little spiky all over. A bit of the hair in the front spikes downto about the middle of his forehead. Not cut straight sp it different hights. The longest is in the middle of the forehead.
  • He is tall and slender.
  • Defined jaw line.
  • He has small ears.
  • His lips are both full and are right between the middle of his eyes.
  • The ears half show because the hair is covering.
  • Bushy eyebrow that are right on his eye bone. they extend across the face and stop a little past his eyes They have a shape to them that follows the eyebone.

I hope everyone has fun and tries it out. I will reveal what his actual appearence looks like on saturday so that you can compare your drawing.
This is a challenge but it would be fun at same time. Post your drawing here and let me know what you think. And please go to my other forum where the rules are to reserve a week to host.
If you want anymore descriptions or want clarification on them please let me know and I will tell you
Have FUN!!

I'm off to norfolk, a place called waxham. Its by the sea and the campsite is right next to the beach, the only thing that seperates it is a sand dune. Should be good and I might do some watercolours with my new windser and newton sketchers set biggrin.gif

Actually, all babies are covered with hair on there entire body in the womb, then it shreads and the baby eats it before it is born. Its called lanugo tongue.gif
oliverandjazz
eeeeeeeeeewww!! biggrin.gif are you teasing and talking about puppies??
Jamie Lightwing
Nope 100% true laugh.gif LINK

Reading it, it says that "This hair suit is shed before or soon after birth"... does that mean that some babies are born furry? tongue.gif
oliverandjazz
no kidding, i didnt know that and my son was born looking like a small chimp, he had fur all over his back and his head was full of thick hair, his lil face too was full of fuzz
oliverandjazz

Thats realy good smile.gif ... I can see a slight resembalance with someone but am I allowed to say who or not ?
texaslady-59
Got to missing my watercolors and this challenge got going..

Now you didn't say what he was wearing so my guy is "nekid"
Since he was naked I figured he need to be in some sort of garden .. my mind went..... ummmm............ crazy wacko.gif
almost had to smoke a cigarette after all was said and done..
and I don't even smoke !!
a square face spikey hair and blue eyes ? omg..
Jamie Lightwing
Thats amazing, I love the way you have used the watercolours for the portrait.
oliverandjazz

In your dreams tongue.gif

I think Ill keep it to myself about resembalance's. It might spoil it if I give a name and people look at it for inspiration rolleyes.gif
oliverandjazz
yes, i agree..

Kay, great job on your sketch. It's much better than I could do from mostly imagination, although I might give it a shot.
Carol, OH MY GOD he's hot. Beautiful colors.

I think a "celebrity of the month" challenge would be cool. Normally I don't draw celebs, but if there were a particular challenge for it, I would.
oliverandjazz
mindy it is good to see you around again. wink.gif Mini, (julia) i will pm you who i think it is

kim1963
well I just looked the whole baby eats the hair and I found nothing on the sites I trust .. they shed the lanugo but nothing is said at those sites that say they eat it lol and they grow it to help regulate their temp.

You tease! happy.gif
Mindy__
LOL well I tried. Why do all the men I try to draw turn out looking like girls??! This could be Michael Jackson's long lost brother... rolleyes.gif laugh.gif
*Roxy*
Mindy it looks fine i'm pretty sure I guessed who it is too. Your drawing made me think of someone so i'm asking if it's who I think it is.
Mindy__
I thought I knew who it was from reading the description, so I found a picture and sketched off of it. That's probably against the rules, as we're supposed to go directly off the description... I'll withdraw it if our host asks me to. But hey, it motivated me to draw, and that's the point of these challenges, right? wink.gif Now I can't wait to find out if I was right about the identity... biggrin.gif
