Yep, Dave's the man when it comes to drawing faces. You should listen to him, he really knows what he's doing. Matter of fact, you should check out the fantasic faces he's done on his user board. I can't say you'll ever be as good as Dave, but when he gives out little gold nuggets of drawing advice.... boy I tell ya, you better listen up and listen up good! He should be teaching art classes if you ask me.

Thanks. Someone has shown me that tutorial before but I found out I drew the face too high up and so the hair was hard to do. Even though the hair tutorial is good, it's still doesn't make hair an easy thing to draw. Is Dave davincipoppalag? I'll look at his faces.

Axil62 (Jan 7, 2009)

Yes, Dave is davincipoppalag. Did you go check out his awsome faces yet? Mind blowing aren't they? Like I said, if anyone around here should be giving advice on how to draw faces...it's this dude!

MelissaMissy (Jan 7, 2009)

Are you being sarcastic? (Not because dave's drawings are bad, because of a memo he sent.)

fantastic. i'm sure you could work from setups, too, the real objects.-- if you don't already. (why are there all these great artists here, after most my drawing career is almost over? i have done scratchboards similar to this, & you have to use photo reference cause scratchboard is so detailed. it's an old medium, but you would be good at it, yer work is so perfect. i love this.

Catapumblamblam (edited Mar 20, 2012)

Yes, it's coming from a photo, I wrote it somewhere in previous messages.
Human brain can't elaborate all minimal light/ghadows variation of the reality, we can't always recognize where we should use white in shadow or grey in light. Human brain it's able to understand what is Blue (just for example), also if red enlighted, but if this light it's strong, you can simulate it in a draw, if it's light, mixed ti shadow variations and other ambient color minilam reflections, you can't!
In a Photo there is not he same color in two different zones, also if there is the same material/object/paint and light!
To do that work, we need a reference pic. At least up to today I can't really think some one do it without a Photo reference.
And again, thenks to all!

i might do some minor touch up later.

so explanation: I had a dream i gave birth to a baby girl, after i had her this thing, like a gigantic bunch of unripened bananas comes out of me, i remember them being heavy on my chest and having the texture/color of Alvarado meat...
they start to move swell and tear at me.Took me a while to wake out of it but i finally did.

davincipoppalag (Jan 6, 2009)

that doesn't sound like a very pleasant dream, for sure. Nicely represented in this

The Dalliance of The Eagles by Walt Whitman

The Dalliance of The Eagles
Walt Whitman

Skirting the river road, (my forenoon walk, my rest)
Skyward in air a sudden muffled sound, the dalliance of the eagles,
The rushing amorous contact high in space together,
The clinching interlocking claws, a living, fierce gyrating wheel,
Four beating wings, two beaks, a swirling mass tight grappling,
In tumbling turning clustering loops, straight downward falling,
"Till o'er the river pois'd, the twain yet one, a moments lull,
A motionless still balance in the air, then parting, talons loosing,
Upward again on slow-firm pinions slanting, their separate diverse flight,
She hers, he his, pursuing.

Yea something about the Vivid colors you used. Just can imagine it on something Black and the Velvet just came to the front. I wonder how a protrait on Black Velvet is applied in, Ink, Paint, ?

Miss_DJ (Feb 7, 2009)

I would think they'd air brush it, that's what it looks like to me.

I agree Flub....especially the tools all over the place and you have to rearrange them every time you reopen the draw. That is my biggest complaint to it but I love the smudge and the blender.

Axil62 (Jan 5, 2009)

Hell no it's not me, this man looks like he has much more integrity than I have.

Roytje (edited Jan 6, 2009)

When he opens his mouth you'll see a blue tongue.

firecracker (Jan 15, 2009)

I've seen this man before.....he looks so familiar to me, but I can't remember where I've seen him. This will bother me....."LOL"! Great draw!! :)
