yes, that's a very good technique to fool your brain. So that you draw what is actually there, instead of what you think is their.oh yes, that's true, he's not really that guapo.

you use the other side of the brain? you mean, just take a picture, and view it very objectively, minus any meaning to the picture? your brain just photographs it literally?

Teapot (Apr 19, 2015)

It results in forcing you to see more accurately what you're looking at rather than drawing a preconceived notion of what something looks like. Everyone does that unconsciously. I'm sure you can get 'Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain' by Betty Edwards from your local library. http://www.amazon.com/The-Drawing-Right-Side-Brain/dp/0874774241

This stood out to me, even surrounded by all the other amazing entries in the showcase...but then again.. I seem to be always drawn to things of a somewhat 'darker' nature. I love the imagery here. Did you ever see the movie 'May'? Kind of a cheesy flick, but the girl in the movie is lonely, and she creates a 'friend' for herself out of the body parts of people she kills. She even uses a few of her own! Sincity is quite accomplished and your work is always inspiring Solve, on both of the Oekaki boards that I've encountered it on.....

Qauid and Weaving Hybrid

Kloxboy (Dec 16, 2004)

So this was going to be Hugo Weaving (I picked him to draw because the photo had good lighting, not because I'm some LOTR junkie) but because I was sleepy and stupid, I drew him from a strange angle. I noticed the face I was drawing was looking strange so I picked up the Hugo photo and put it next to my drawing so I could compare it, well, I discovered that I had totally distorted Hugo's proportions. As well, it looks like Dennis Quaid. Rather than ditch the effort I figured I'd embrace the mess up and make it look like some Weaving/Quiad love child. I wanted to draw much more detail but because Dennis Quid attacked my drawing, I got pissed and stopped. Hopefully next time I'll remember to look at my reference photo at the correct angle.

At first Glance, I thought it was Randy Quaid....LOL!

Nah this looks just like the guy that played Agent Smith. Great stuff. Sorry for late comment.

MelissaMissy (Dec 10, 2007)

This is amazing, how could you sit at a computer for 6 hrs+ and draw this? I am utterly amazed.

dorothyblueeyes (May 24, 2014)

it looks great, wonderful colors and lighting; as to those of you who draw and paint from photos a lot; try real people, and real things,scenes, more often. Photos are great, but they have limitations.You can only draw the picture exactly how iit's shown in the photograph. Real people and objects,& scenery are 3 dimensional, and they are harder to draw, but there is nothing like 3-dimensional REALITY to make you excercise your sight-and-drafting muscles. With 3-dimensional reality, you have to decide how you see the person or object; the lighting,color,sizes, ect.Even the style. This is done for you, often in a photo; not in the real, 3-D object. Before photography, artists had to practice SEEING THE OBJECT right from the start.What are the angles & shapes? What is the composition?How much color, dark, light, or shadow? Proportion? Don't think you can let a photograph decide all that for you, every time. With drawing & painting from reality, you make the choices and judgements, but its well worth the work.
