fantastic. i'm sure you could work from setups, too, the real objects.-- if you don't already. (why are there all these great artists here, after most my drawing career is almost over? i have done scratchboards similar to this, & you have to use photo reference cause scratchboard is so detailed. it's an old medium, but you would be good at it, yer work is so perfect. i love this.

Yes, it's coming from a photo, I wrote it somewhere in previous messages.
Human brain can't elaborate all minimal light/ghadows variation of the reality, we can't always recognize where we should use white in shadow or grey in light. Human brain it's able to understand what is Blue (just for example), also if red enlighted, but if this light it's strong, you can simulate it in a draw, if it's light, mixed ti shadow variations and other ambient color minilam reflections, you can't!
In a Photo there is not he same color in two different zones, also if there is the same material/object/paint and light!
To do that work, we need a reference pic. At least up to today I can't really think some one do it without a Photo reference.
And again, thenks to all!

I'm used to taking hours on a revision. But then before the site was changed there was a size limit and if you ran out of space you had to wait for a mod to give it to you so everyone did as much as they could in one sitting so as to not run of out space. Seems we don't have to worry about that anymore.

Fabulous! the skin textures are done so extra well! :D

Roxana1890 (Jul 1, 2008)

i wonder how you managed to do those skin textures so well...have you used an already oekaki texture? it looks great.the drawing is perfect,but i have the feeling that her left eye is a lil bit more lower than her right,and the mouth is not very simetrical with the nose.don`t take it as a offence,i just wanted to say what i noticed.I have problems in drawing the face proportions ,too.But this drawing is gorgeous,nice one,really nice one.

Flubbles (Jul 1, 2008)

yea there's a few things slightly off, it was a really dubious angle. I just wanted to get the drawing done and start a new one :P If i was getting paid for it i'd have tried to get everything spot on.I cant put it right now because its finished, and i cant be arsed really anyway lol
