Miguel Bose portrait #2

 

Meeeoooow, Monday!  Been a few months since I last posted... Just finished a portrait, Miguel Bosé... one of my fave singers!   I used Winsor and Newton Cotman pan watercolors, then used Staedtler Mars Lumograph Black for the dark details and Derwent watercolor pencils for the highlights.  I love how black the Staedtler is!!!  I like it much better than the blue series.  


My last portrait was a while ago, before covid, so my portrait skills are really, really rusty!  Started this with a very wonky sketch... Managed to struggle through the wonkiness.  The finished portrait isn't how i pictured it to look like, I was going for a looser, more minimal style.  As is my tendency, I kinda overworked it... again.  Still have much to learn, one of them is loosening up!  Also learn to do the ears, neck and hair better!  Ears... bleh.... I don't like drawing/rendering it, I find them boring to do. hahahaha...  Anyway, I did a portrait of Miguel Bose many years ago, you see it (here)...  


I wanted to add some of his Youtube song videos here, but having some issues with adding them here.  Go check them out on Youtube, especially those live/concert ones!  I looooove his songs!  Have a lovely and meowy day!

Portrait... Miguel Bosé in graphite


Miguel Bose portrait in graphite, watercolor and watercolor pencils...

Meow there, Monday!  It's another portrait!  I really miss doing them. This one is of latin singer Miguel Bose.  One of my fave singers!   As mentioned previously, I recently revisited my old digital music archive... Went through them and decided to search for those old time fave songs on YouTube.  Found a treasure trove of new songs!  Well, maybe they're old songs for some, but for me they're new.  Anyway, found some great Miguel Bose songs, and have been listening to them and those of Alejandro Fernandez and Franco de Vita's for the past several weeks... Sooooooo loving these songs!!!   Don't think you can ever get sick and tired of great songs...   =^.^=


I kind of got bored of doing all black and grey graphite portraits... Thought I'd add a bit of color to "brighten it up", make it a bit more interesting. Light layers of watercolor pencils (and wash), smudged graphite and watercolor.   The "finished" portrait isn't what I had pictured in my mind.  I wanted to do it rather sketchy and with bold, stroke-y background... My hand seems to have it's own idea of how to go about it though... LOL... 

Had a rather hard time deciding which of his songs to include in this blogpost... Soooooo many beautiful songs but I don't want to make this blogpost too long.  "Morena Mia" and "Nena" have to be included of course.  Had them in my archive and were my faves then... and still are, especially with these live versions!   

       
Loving this song even more after checking out the translation of the lyrics online...
Playful, flirty and a little naughty... ;-)



This is my new "happy song"!!!

"En silencio y en secreto, te amare..."  I love this line!!!

Sometimes I get goosebumps while listening to his ballads...

In-progress... Miguel Bose portrait

Update (11/24/2014):  "Finished" portrait is on this link, please clickie-click (here)...

Meow there!  Doing another portrait... I miss doing them!  Will be posting the finished portrait on Monday.  Yeah, I like watching music videos on YouTube while I'm drawing.  I need my music (and inspiration!) while I'm working.     =^.^=
