thanks :)

Do those have bodyguards? I ask because you know it's bad to have unprotected socks. Pretty eyes you made here Joy.

Opium (Apr 7, 2006)

well,l the ties keep asking for the bodyguard job, but I think the socks are more scared of them. They are leaning towards letting a couple bandanas do the job. Thanks poppa :)

comd (Apr 6, 2006)

After doing my last picture here which was a very mechanical attempt to achieve photorealism where my only aim way to copy the photo, I wanted to go in the opposite direction, getting back more to what I was trying to do in the intermediate boards, instead attempting the loosest attempt to draw from a reference yet, with an attempt to only use the reference without drawing the reference at all. Accuracy to the photo is not going to be a criteria in this case. It's going to be about speed, looseness, and improvisation. I just finished a lot of work, so hopefully I'll have the time to focus on something challenging.

I'm going to try to combine what I've learned from both my practice in drawing with references and inventing forms without references to make something that hopefully doesn't suck too much and doesn't require too much time spent on it (hopefully something I finish by the end of the day). By using a reference, I'm hoping the result will be more convincing and anatomically correct than some of my doodles on this board where I didn't use any references at all. By not drawing the reference directly, the end result will hopefully be something fairly different than the photo and interesting on its own. Most importantly, I'm hoping it will be a useful exercise that will help me get better.

Reference: http://hq55.com/scan/willemdafoe/01.jpg. After cropping out the text on the left, I decided to flip him horizontally. I just liked it better that way after removing all the space on the left. I don't know why I liked it better - I'm not a composition expert, but I liked the initial focus to be on the left flowing towards the right, and having the brighter portion of the face on the left seemed to do that more.

I don't really know what I'm going to end up with. I have a fantasy theme in mind: maybe a warrior or a priest or something.

Somewhat elfish, it's interesting to read what was going through your mind as you drew this, I'd say your right side was working conveniently alongside your left. Nicely done comd.

Just have to ask what your name represents, if it's a abbreviation of something. Curious is all.

Shoebox (Apr 7, 2006)

Reminds me of that part in the ROTK movie. Y'know, the path of the dead?

Creepy. But good, very very good. I love how you can still see the sketch lines.

safescene (Apr 9, 2006)

You are crazily talented. I love how it looks as though he came from another era/dimension/time, and his smug face.

Kloxboy (Apr 9, 2006)

That's tight. I really like the subtle highlights and lighting. Structure rocks..hehe.

looks way cool! Kinda looks like an upclose picture of a mosquitoe head

Deino (Apr 6, 2006)

Terrifying! Great work x)

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Apr 6, 2006)

I think I don't like red, but then I'm always attracted to these paintings that are all red. I like that my eye goes to the focal point in the center and all around, and back to the focal point. I'm not sure what it is but it doesn't matter, I like it because the composition works like that.

TaCO (Apr 13, 2006)

Looks like someone said "shove it up your ass" And then they did.

Green man, sort of
