I have seen so many beautiful photographs here....and I have currently been searching for a new picture to sketch. The last picture I drew was from a photo my father in law took of three mules:

Would anyone possibly be interested in helping me find a new picture for my next sketch? I am just looking for something -nearly anything- as long as it is beautiful and creative, sharp, bright and clear.
Whichever picture I decide on would be drawn and then posted on my website once finished. (It could take me up to 4 months (maybe even more than that) to complete my sketch. ) I may even decide eventually to have prints made of the sketch, and if I did, I would be more than happy to give either the original or several prints to the donor of the photograph.
I dont know if this is a crazy idea or not, but I just thought it would be amazing to draw a picture from a picture from photographers as talented as you all are. :)
ohhhhhhhh, I wished that I could draw like that!!! I guess that's one reason I stick to photography...:)..Great work you have....ummmm, you can help yourself to any photos to choose from on my site.....here. As long I get to see your work of it if you do...:)
i will have to add another WOW thats AWESOME work Bethany.
and as others have said, Im sure you wont have to look hard to find a photo to sketch. And Im sure the photographer of the photo you chose would be more than happy to let you use it. I know I would be honored.
Bethany, that's just beautiful!! Your other sketches on your site are awesome as well. What a gift you have! Anyone you choose will be more than happy to have their photo sketched, I'm sure. What an honor. Welcome to the site, BTW! :o)
Hey Bethany Marie, you may be interested in one of my favorite photographers on this site, Tim Jensen (Timj351) who sometimes incorporates his sketches into his photographs. Here are some examples:
Dang!! That is BEAUTIFUL work, Bethany! I am sure that you won't have any problems getting more photographs to sketch - I mean, what an honor! We'll all be looking forward to seeing the finished piece in a few months.
Thank you for the link to Tim's profile! He does have some awesome sketches...and the photographs of his sketches are even better! :) Thank you all for your VERY kind compliments on my sketch. And thank you to all who PM'd me offering your portfolios to browse...I am going to take a long time and look at each picture to see if I see what I am looking for. I don't know exactly what it is I am looking for, but I have a feeling when I see it, i will know! :)
Hello Bethany,
Would you be interested in doing an American bald eagle? Here is my image of one I took while on an eagle watch this January. I really like your work and think you could do a bang up job on this eagle. Let me know if you are interested.
Or you could do this golden eagle. He is quite handsome as well.
I have other eagles on my Pbase website too. Please feel free to browse and let me know if you are interested in any of the images. Your work is wonderful.
Thanks, Ann
The best thing is start a portfolio at DeviantArt where you artwork would really be appreciated by others that do the same type of works. Also catagories for photo, painting, poetry etc.
Some of the members/users here also post there. Check it out.
Actually most of my pictures will work as sketches :)
I think any of the photographers would be honored to have you sketch thier photos. Spot one you like then send them a message with the explanation you just gave.
I'd be thrilled...somewhat limited portfolio though..I'm a newbie like you.
