firecracker (Jan 7, 2012)

I don't think I'll ever be able to get this draw looking the way I want it to look, so that's why I'm posting it as finished, because the more I try to change it...the more I mess it up. I shouldn't have used the texture tool to fill the whole background area....now I can't draw on top of all that texture, so I can't get the dark shadowy figure looking the way I want it to look....he's supposed to be the "boogeyman"...haha. I'm satisfied with the way the woman looks....her hands could be better, but I'm not good at drawing hands....the ref pic has the girl's hands looking weird, so that didn't help me any. Anyway....for now I'm finished with this draw....maybe later on I'll bring it up and try to work on it some more. This was a good practice draw for me....I need all the practice that I can get....I've been out of practice with drawing for awhile. :)

Looks fine to me FC.. you could draw the shadowy guy on a new layer ..that should work

lori (Jan 10, 2012)

yeah I think it looks pretty good firecracker :) keep it up

Thanks Davinci and Lori.....I'm glad you guys think this pic looks ok.....I'm gonna work on it more later, and see what I can do with it. DaVinci.....I don't know how to use the layers...that's why I have problems with some of my draws. I tried using the layers a few times, but it wouldn't work for me. Anyways....thanks for your comments....I appreciate it. I hope to get myself back on track with drawing again...I've kinda been in a slump.

This really looks great,FC! Can't wait till done!

I like how the shadowy guy in the background is sort of subtle, you don't notice it at first, but then when you look at it for a minute then you notice him and it changes the feel of what's going on, makes it kind of an experience to view

Thanks madscientist & elliusoopius...for commenting....I really do appreciate it. I'm glad you like the pic, and I'm hoping that I can improve on it a bit....I'm not satisfied with it yet.
Well......I think I'm FINALLY almost finished messin' around with this draw....it's driving me crazy, because I can't get it to look the way I want it to look.....I did do a few improvements, and I like the way it's looking, but I still want to try working on that one hand and lower arm a bit. The 'ref' pic doesn't help me, because the hands look goofy on that pic....so I have to try to fix it on my own, and I'm terrible with hands....lol. I kinda wish I never started this draw....it's a pain!! :(

she s just too gorgeous to be true

Thanks xsi639, for commenting....I'm glad you like the pic. It didn't turn out the way I wanted it to, but it's ok I guess...I might work on it more sometime if I get in the mood. It didn't really take me all those hours to draw this pic....I 'dilly dally' around so much while I'm drawing....that's what takes me so long. Anyways....thanks for commenting....I appreciate it. :)
