Stumbled across her while doing a search for reference pictures of birds, and figured this would be more fun to do. (Yay, portraiture.) She was the first female Australian aviator.

First Advanced posting, hope it's OK.

Edit: Made it sepia in Photoshop: Link, Take 2

I'm actually proud of this one, yay.

Thanks so much, JK! I had problems getting the relative darkness and shadows correct, as I work from print-outs, and my printer is almost out of black and white ink. The whole pic ended up several shades lighter, with horizontal lines running through the whole thing (eew)! I didn't want to go into too much detail in the clothing, as I wanted to really focus on the face. (That, and I got lazy). I probably should have made the shadows much purer than they actually are.
Hideyourface, I can't really see the angle difference, but that's probably just me being biased and blind because I drew it. Oh, well, too late to fix it now.

I like this alot. I think it conveys that sense of free-spirit and adventure that she must have had to compel her to fly.

Renuar (Aug 5, 2005)

Much talent. Good draw. I look forward to seeing more.

hey thanks a lot poppa. i think you might have sent me that. i honestly dont even know. i kinda dove into a drawing frenzy and didn't really looks to see what was what around this site.

And thanks Emma. XD it IS a scary clown isn't it.. ah well. fears manifest again.

TaCO (Aug 2, 2005)

It pulls me in and makes my mouth water. I think I want to eat It. This pic is beyond words. but the face flaws the pic.

Seklyan (Aug 3, 2005)

haha. it seems like i always do somethign at the last minute that totally messes with the rest of the picture. first the butterfly and the bear, and now this. i did the face because she was lacking one. i know in the first version she has one, but that face really didn't work when i made the changes to the rest of the pic. oh well.. better luck next time.

Portrait of the Long Haired Man

Tenshi_Tengoku (Aug 2, 2005)

Was going to add a bit of a background, but the applet started acting funny on me and I was afraid to continue incase the computer froze up. @.@ This is probably one of the few oekaki drawings I've been pleased with. I'm never pleased with much of my oekakis.

Collar is a little messed up. Hair could have used some finer highlights... Meh...

EDIT: Yah, just to answer a comment about the shading on the neck. At first I wasn't planing on color this and just making it a sketch, but then I started coloring it and was going to get rid of the crosshatch shading when I noticed I kind of liked it in there.

wow brilliant, really god picture welcome to 2draw

fleeting_memory (Aug 2, 2005)

very different from your other tow pictures here. Nice job on the hair. The only thing that threw me off was the use of crosshatch shading on the neck when it isn't used anywhere else. Good job of keeping him from looking like a girl-that can be hard with long hair. Nice work

Shoebox (Aug 2, 2005)

Yesh indeed, non-androgenous-ness for teh win..

I like the shading, especially on his shirt, I had shading white, myself, not to mention the hair is lovely as well ^^
I have to say, though, my favorite part is his face for some reason.. I think it's the nose..

monkey_says (Aug 3, 2005)

<3!! shading/line art = great!

but since I'm really mean and all that - the proportions (spelling... geh...) on the torso are off (proportions! agh! *hides*). besides that, I have no other complaints besides being jealous of your nifty oekaki skillz.

he looks sensitive - yet tough. I assume he knows martial arts, or at least can lay claim to having a good right hook.

Inu yasha looks really good great shading and lighting. the over all pic is great nice job
*edit* when in the story does this happen or is it out of your head?

fleeting_memory (Aug 2, 2005)

I love the lineart on this-its just an all around nice picture-just nice to look at

Cianteed (Aug 3, 2005)

amazing detail and lineart, and the colours look great too; not too soft, not too horriffically blinding ^^

Nice job, not only is it very accurate and all, but it just plain looks cool. :)

So Cold

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jul 29, 2005)

you're so cold, keep your
hand in mine
...show me how it ends, it's all right
show me how defenseless you really are
satisfied and empty inside
well that's all right
let's give this another try...
you're so cold but you
feel alive
lay your hand on me
one last time

I was feeling down, but it's not really the reason I did this. Renuar got it, though... it's something to think about... we're all gonna be there some day.

fleeting_memory (Aug 2, 2005)

this is true but sinse we're all going to get there eventually there's no reason to bother thinkin about it too much-otherwise we waste what time we do got thinking about something we will get no matter what ~.^

candehfeind (Sep 17, 2005)

Wicked picture, really suiting the music lyrics (love that song)...

Miss_DJ (Sep 29, 2005)

Thought-provoking draw, excellent as usual! ....the song by the Grass Roots (am I THAT old?) comes to mind....sha, la, la, la la LET'S LIVE FOR TODAY.....and don't worry 'bout tomorrow...hey....

fleeting_memory (Aug 1, 2005)

I like this. The idea appeals to me and I like how the people all around are shrouded in darkness to lessen thier importance in comparison to the speaker. Very cool and creative idea.

safescene (Aug 1, 2005)

This reminds me a lot of Harry Potter for some reason, which is definitely a good thing. Probably the contrast between dark and light...

Anna (Aug 1, 2005)

oh I looove how this is lighted. It's great!! :-)
