Learning how to draw. Step 1: FAIL. Steps 2 to 99: repeat step 1. I'm currently on step 3 or so, meaning I can't make eyes level and draw cute girls with buck teeth they don't have. The real Grace is absolutely gorgeous and this picture comes with my apologies to her. Sorry dude! It must suck so much to be an illustrator (www.kittenparfait.com) and get fanart that is worse than what you could draw yourself.
Grace is a virtue, as is patience. Patience which I do not have. This took three and a bit hours but most of that was spent on hair. It is bloody impossible to get pure black from graphite.
6B, 2B, HB, boredom, a headache, the rubber on the end of my pencil.
The eyes don't actually look out of place to be honest, it's more the angle of the mouth and cheek on the right hand side of the image I think which needs work. I like the shading work around the eyes, and I reaaaaaly like the way you've done the hair - must've driven you mad!
You're right, the right cheek has the light sources all off. And I already apologised for the buck teeth - do you think the mouth still looks off, even ignoring those? Hmm.
Thanks for the eye compliment. It was the bit I started with.
Some people have been asking me about this stuff so I decided to gather all information in one single article on how to make your own portfolio, in a profesional and clean looking way. I hope it's useful, because these steps I myself take.
DeviantArt is full of extremely well produced artistic fashion and fine art photographs. Make up. Styling. Creation of scenery. Story. Light. Glamour. A combination of these expressions sometimes make up a great photograph. But the protagonists of these pictures are usually female.
So... now it's the time for male models to come into focus.
How to make DA work for YOU! Taking an in-depth look at how to make deviantART work for you, and getting the most out of your user experience. How to get comments, watches, your work scene, commented on, critiqued, and what you have to do. These are some of the things which I have learned since joining more than 4 1/2 years ago.
`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment. She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More
