Bah. Stupid background. It's supposed to be the color of the board, but it didn't work, as you can see. I also switched painting styles halfway through. Can you tell?

I think his hand reaches upwards indeed. It almost looks like he holds a camera above him and takes a picture of himself. The perspective of the ground makes me think so. This is an awesome drawing, it has the feeling of a painting on canvas but it still is extremely realistic. And the face is so sweet! Excellent artwork. <:)

Actually, I think the photographer did take the picture of herself, so her arm would be reaching upwards and that would account for the perspective. So sorry for not posting the reference, I had put it on originally, but since the pics got seperated during a saving glitch, I forgot about it. Here it is: Linkage!
Ooh, and it's a she, I believe. Otherwise, a very pretty boy.
And, Raiknii, thank you so much for your nice memo. If only everyone here were as thoughtful as you.

You really made her great... Especially the shirt and the folds! |:)

The lip position is great, and the realistic texture of the hair is also eye catching.

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.

Anybody have any ideas for the body? I'm having trouble.

Done for now, because I can't modify it anymore and I really want to keep the comments you all gave me. I'll delete it later if I ever am able to finish the other version.

Renuar (Jul 16, 2005)

hey Iycene, you've done a great job so far. if it helps, i have some advise; Right nostril needs enlarging (keep the lips in proportion to the nose). Right cheek needs decreasing, and last but not least...amplify the eyes, make them bigger koz they real sweet to look at.

p3ndragon (Jul 16, 2005)

Don't use the burn tool. Please.
But amazing picture. Colors are great. I can't wait until it's done!

Gigandas (Jul 16, 2005)

Here's some more things to look into:
The face is too wide from left to right (pull it inwards), left end of nose (from our view) needs to be pulled over to the left more so that it's partially past the tear ductof the eye, lower the upper right side of her lip (pull left corner up as well), pull chin in, use more darks on the makeup around the eyes, pull the entire mouth over to the bottom left side of the face, widen "her" left nostril. And most importantly, enlarge the eyes a bit and then shift "her" left eye below her right eye (right now it's backwards, and it's throwing off the angle of her face).
Hope that helps some...
