One of The Original Mr. Blinddraw Portraits

Xandera, 2016

You've been #blinddrawn.

Hi all!

I haven't posted a while as lots of projects have swept me MIA. I will hopefully begin to trickle more art participation here as we get deeper into the projects.

This piece means a lot to me because I was in a phase of being uncomfortable with how people will react to themselves being painted by a stranger. It wasn't a commission or anything. I just wanted to paint her photo because I felt like it had a lot of style and meaning. Though, perhaps I took away some of that meaning with the art style.

This is a post about one of the original styles of Hive account@mrblinddraw before I started developing a more fine lined sketch style. I wanted to give these bright pops of color to stand out and also be simple. I loved the metallic colors as well and found a gold acrylic to start messing with.

How I used to scan images:

I am an artist who finds portrait photographs of people on social media, paints them, and posts it. I love the reactions and surprises that it gives people. I think there's a sense of self-esteem boost when someone is painted (even when there are mistakes or it doesn't look identical to them). The goal of my art is to surprise and spread love.

Steemians, please let me know what you think of the post in the comments below.
