I did an experiment on the bus today (April 30th) where I let the bus shake my pencil all over the place. Now I’m coloring it in and will then adding a face to it, along the way.
How chicken bus scratch (above) turns into a portraiture of a bus (below).
And yeah, that’s how a bus feels like to me.
It was boring but also exciting. It also seems like a useless activity to me (sorry knitting lovers) BUT I love when something springs to life, it’s great for passing the time, and it’ll be a joy to make special gifts! I also like how the teacher said that it was like, learning a new language! And I LOVE languages…
This is the type of drawing I’ll be doing for my new service: Face Reading & Portrait
If you’re interested in sending me a clear picture of your face (side and front), then I will give you a 20-30 minute over-the-phone face reading AND you’ll get your very own Jaisla portrait, drawn in pencil for only $30 (beta version). Email facereadingportraits @ jaisla .com
Please note that colors will likely be different and I may not include sparkles in your portrait. Also, the hair may be wildly different. These will be intuitive drawings that take into account your personality and potential. :-) Your whole face might not even be part of the portrait. Basically I’ll have total artistic license here so expect the unexpected!!
Except there seems to be one quirk of mine that’s emerging and that’s a graphite face with colored head / hair area. But I don’t know if that’ll continue. So go back to expecting the unexpected!! :D
For some reason I’ve had a tendency to do female or unisex drawings but I’ll do strongly male portraits too.

Graphite, colored pencils, and sparkle paint
Here are other examples, all done in the last couple of months:
Graphite and colored pencil
Graphite and multi-color pencil
Unfinished

For my Saturn type Face Reading & Portrait clients, I’ll focus more on detail of certain aspects (such as your eyes, mouth, or nose) but then I probably won’t do your whole face as it’d take far too many hours to do fully realistic. One eye, as per below, can take one hour when done realistically.
The eye below was created from a photo so there’s a lot of realism in it.
The eyes and nose below was created from my imagination, as were the first three portraits.
With Venus Trine Saturn, Capricorn rising, Venus Sextile Neptune, Venus Semi-square MC, Neptune in the 10th I’m destined to make money from my art!
I’m happy to provide art that’s practical, photo realistic, and that the masses can readily understand and enjoy.
Having said that, I have Venus Conjunct Uranus so I do appreciate and enjoy creating wild and unusual art. There’s one art project I hope to do in the future that supports this. Of course, few will want it so that’s why it’ll be collector’s at $300+ each.
Speaking of making money from art.
I’ll soon be offering Face readings along with a portrait of you. You’ll send in a front and side profile shot of you and then I’ll do my magic after a LIVE face reading.
The beta version will be $30, intro version $60, and professional version (after I’ve ironed out all the kinks) will be $100+ so order your Face + Portrait reading straight away so you don’t miss out on the early deals and you never know, you could end up becoming FAMOUS along with my own fame. ;-).

I like the end result (keep looking until you get to the end!).
And I love patterns and color. There’s so many versions because the colors were a feast for the eyes! :D

Bathing Beauty: Pencil drawing
When I do ‘this kind’ of drawing, I never know what I’m going to do. I draw shapes, turn the paper, and when something ‘develops’, I begin giving ‘form, and shape’ to it so it resembles ‘something’ most can recognize. At the same time, there are occult messages within the drawings — always a story that emerges too. I ♥ art.
Some time in 2011. I might put colour to this later.
Title: Elephant
With all my abstract, swirly pics, I don’t start out with anything in mind. It’s only afterwards where an image appears along with a story. The tusks are an important metaphor with this one as well as the eyes of ‘shock’ and the two halves of a heart or elephant ears.
This way of doing art may have something to do with my Venus Tredecile Ascendant aspect.
I’m not much of a painter and I’m not happy with this painting but I’m going to post it anyway. :D
In fact, when I say I’m not much of a painter — I mean it. This is only my second painting and I have zero technical painting knowledge (which is most likely evident) but I LOVE art and playing with things, and making things.
Interestingly, I hadn’t clued into the fact that today was the first day of spring or Aries until after I painted this collection of Spring Flowers or is that Spring Stars!.
Cool, huh?!

Back in 2010, I made a series of color coded hearts for a friend of mine who had a hard time sharing what they were feeling. Because I knew they were tactile and color conscious, I figured these would help.
Chain of Hearts for Autism
I wrote words on one side so that whoever was being shown the heart could know what it stood for.
