Mag, excellent work! You're really getting the form down just right!
haha and yes, I'm a girl :P
arikb... looks like you're having fun, have you considered adding white on top of your middle value?
fiddle, quite an interesting style as always, I love how you did the water :D congrats on your antibiotics, hope you feel well soon.
Did this today w/ chalk pastels:

(final ink wash version) :D
Natsia, nice hair! Although it looks like the whole drawing is a tad skewed-- that generally happens when you draw while looking at the paper from an angle... has an nice atmosphere to it though :D
-
Thanks El, Most of my pics end up like that. Im a leftie.
Your drawings are getting so good, especially your eyes!
-
hehe thanks :D yeah I'm having fun with eyes, trying different styles with them and such.
Here's the latest! 15+ hours worth of inking! wheeee! (I traced the original picture, so I feel pretty bad about that)
I present to you... OMAR SHARIF!

Ah. Insane! Looks great! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Actually you did do a good job of capturing the insanity in that image. Nice work. :)
-
that crosshatching looks awesome :)
This painting is the final project for my art class. I still have over 1 week left to turn it in, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

is it supposed to be a reflective curved surface?
-
yeah. If it wasnt i should quit drawing. I know its not great, but.... meh... im trying
-
I would suggest that you try to pay a little more attention to the texture that is created by your brush strokes. This is especially apparent/detractive on the upper left part of his forehead (which would be his right). For the most part I would suggest that you make an effort to get the strokes to follow the contour of the form you are describing.
Looks good, though. :)
-
I was actually aiming for visible marks, but I guess they don't look as good as I thought
-
Nah, I wouldnt quit.
Only reason I say that was because of the perspective of the peice.
2 things also dont quite work for what youre trying to do here.
1: highlights. There dont seem to be any, which is throwing me off. Are we looking at a distorted image or a reflected image?
2: The amount of the skew on this image: Your black lines should be carried all the way to the edges of your ball ( I know you didnt do that because you made the background black.) and the tip of your noggin should be riiiiight at the top of the ball.
Your eye & the tip of your nostrils should be the focus of your image... they seem a little underemphasized.
This is effect is really hard to do well, so dont feel like you should stop drawing & painting all together.
I reccomend grabbing a spoon or finding a round doorhandle and having a good look at how the distortion wraps things in terms of space & depth.
-
nah, i didnt say I'd quit. I said that the drawing is so distorted that if I was trying to get a normal looking portrait (no distortion) THEN I should quit.
Cool, thanks for the ideas. I think they will defintley improve it.
It is a reflected image, so it does need the highlights.
-
thx for the compliments :D
arik, good luck with that portrait-- they gave some good advice, I haven't had much experience with curved surfaces... do add the highlights, though!!! That'll really help pop it out.
did this in Painter tonight:
