EDIT: I'll add more to this some other time. It's out of proportion and sort of bugging me now, plus I can't draw hands to save my life. Oh well though, the thumbnail turned out pretty well.

I kind of feel like I've suddenly obtained more talent than I thought I had. I know this drawing isn't perfect, or even done for that matter, but I think my last two drawings are a big improvement from my previous ones. It's as though the way I see things has just changed and I suddenly understand better. I've never had any real training in art apart from some high school art classes, so I'm pretty self taught, and I feel rather proud of myself for improving.

Thank you. =)
And no, the rough lines aren't intentional, I'm a little rusty with lascaux sketch and am having trouble smoothing the lines. Any suggestions would be fantastic.
Also, the next piece I'm going to be doing will be much larger, I'm going to try and do my first advanced piece, so we'll see how that goes. :)

The blue triangle shaped tool smooths the lines out.

enirroc (Apr 10, 2010)

That's what I've been trying to use, but I think my biggest problem is that I didn't make the picture big enough, and when I zoom in to work on details, I can't get the brush small enough. I'll keep trying though.

if you turn down the flow a lot, the line gets smaller, and I think the smallest is 0.1 pixel, but you have to do that manually, not through [ and ] keys.

I really just wanted the canvas space, not meant to be intermediate quality. (sorry) Bump it down if you can.

Can anyone guess what singer this is?

She's not dead.

firecracker (Apr 10, 2010)

I'm glad she's still amongst the living......she's very pretty, but I can't think of who she is......:)

Arique (Apr 10, 2010)

Belinda Carlisle! And I bet if you worked this more you wouldn't have to be bumped down. It's a great foundation!

Nekoampy (Apr 10, 2010)

Yeah, you're probably right.

How do you do the hair from light to dark. Fantastic piece.

Suntan (Feb 2, 2010)

Thanks!
*Pandora: I'm not sure what you mean from light to dark. Do you mean the white in her hair or opacity?

Pandora (Apr 9, 2010)

The white in her hair is it done with the opacity? Thanks Suntan

Suntan (Apr 9, 2010)

No, no opacity in her hair..just straight white. :)
