when i was younger, my family and i used to have portrait parties. we would congregate in the living room every few months and turn our attention from person to person, drawing everyone in the room. it was such a pleasure and so normal in my life that trading portraits became a regular event when i left for college, when i moved to new towns, when i met new friends or favorite artists. tommy kane suggested that it would make a good website. so, that's what this is... AND YOU'RE INVITED!
charlotte (portrayed above) and mithi (portrayed below) drew each other many times as part of a class project. they each drew a proper portrait in the morning. in the afternoon, they each drew six exercise portraits (seen here) from the original portrait and six exercise portraits from real life. if you're curious, they posted the other drawings on their blogs!
