The way you have depicted age with the sunken mouth, the collapsed brow and drooping eyelids, the wrinkled and thin translucent skin...and even the little hint of chin bristles...and yet her beauty and strong character shine through. What a portrait!

MAGIK...

backmagicwoman (Jul 28, 2009)

I think when most people think of the X-Men..the first names that come to mind are like Cyclops..Wolverine..Phoenix..Storm..the main players..but if you go back a ways..there are a lot of cool ones that did not get as much coverage so to speak...one of my all time favorites was Illyana Rasputin..she was the little sister of Colossus..and had a spin off of her own comic from the X-men called Magik....If you ever have time and you are into comics you should look this one up..it's a four issue limited series..and I used the picture from issue 4 as a reference for this picture..i tried to stay as true to the character as possible...and give full original credit to the original artist....even though i took a few liberties....I am very happy with it so far....If I can get a link to the original picture I will post it..i would use my comic to show you..but my scanner is currently out of commision.....I welcome any tips or advice for this as I am at a little bit of a loss for a background...

I love that you 'make art your own interpretation' instead of just copying it..that's creative!!

backmagicwoman (Mar 4, 2010)

Thanks Miss DJ...I like to feel like I added a little something to it when I use a reference..

I started this months ago i just wanted to empty my gallery, i'm not doing a self portrait nobody wants to see a pair of huge dimples grinning back at them.

dorothyblueeyes (Feb 24, 2010)

no, I know this picture is not easy to do, you just make it look easy. The white is hard to convey, and also the water. Very elegant and beautiful.

firecracker (Feb 24, 2010)

You don't want to do a self portrait flubadub.......because you look so much like "Spanky" of the "lil rascals"......with your dimples......"lolzzz"...:P I do luv this swan though......beautiful draw!! :)

I think the rest of it is beautiful, i was just saying that the hut could look a little better.

Suntan (Feb 9, 2010)

I'm just saying that I'm very happy you joined here. :)

backmagicwoman (Feb 9, 2010)

Yes..always happy to have new members...very nice picture indeed..:)

mursku (edited Feb 9, 2010)

thanks guys for the comments :D
Suntan - heh, its just luck that i joined here :D i was fed up with OekakiCentral and wanted to try some other oekaki site. i found this other oekaki site where i sent my registration application, but while waiting for my confirmation email, i found this site and i didn't need to wait for any administrator to begin drawing oekakis :D and also this site looks to be more active than the other one, so, yay!
Bobstained - ah you meant that. heh, the hut does look does look a bit rubbish, doesn't it, but then to my eye so does the horizon line too. I meant to just do a quick 20-30 minute landscape study, and then i ended so frustrated with getting the sea to look even halfway decent.. and as for the hut, thats my second try to draw the hut and it still looks like that... for my excuse i can say that i didn't understand the form of the hut from looking at the reference picture... it just looked to me like a haphazard bunch of sticks, so thats how it pretty much ended...
and besides guys, i made this in the beginner section, im sure this will be lost quickly enough in the flood of other posts that are made in this section. When i post in the intermediate or advanced boards i will take more time to draw.

everybody else, sorry for not replying, but im really slow at writing stuff and i really need to go back to drawing (or should i say painting?) this nude in the advanced board. It will be awesome! :D
