Thanks, he's got kind of a Joker smile to him. Sadistic bastard.

Hope the good artists out there can give me some c & c.

Gorgocity! Real horror-show girly, well done.

I, too, am learning how to draw portraits digitally. A basic but less beneficial technique for digital realism/portraits is to work on your piece until it looks like your reference photo. A more advanced approach would be to follow a process, which I recommend. I suggest, from the start, your main goal should be developing your eye for facial form, anatomy, and proportions. Once you have an eye for facial structure, you can concentrate on skin tones, lighting and details. From there, it gets more advanced. I think it's best to concentrate on learning the process of drawing people correctly, rather than worrying about the final result of each portrait/painting you do. I could go more in depth about all this but I think those initial tips are good at this point. If you want any additional thoughts, just memo me. Have fun. :)

all that klox says....and.....i think if you spend a couple of hours more, you´ll find what are you looking for...nice draw :)

You know what? You don't need any major guidance, really... you're on the right track. You have natural artistic talent, you have a very good eye for things.... but the main thing you possess is desire... and the willingness to WORK to achieve what you want. Your open mindedness to criticism and suggestion, even though it hurts sometimes is also a positive thing. I think the best advice I can give you right now is just don't let anyone derail you from your goal.

(Just on an observant note... the reference is very crude, and I think you've already brought out more clarity and detail than I could have. I might "fudge" on what I see a little bit sometimes when that happens... like adding some highlights where there is total darkness to add depth...for example..maybe around his hat)

I just thought of something the eldest of my two younger brothers said to me once... he is also very artistic, he is a very talented musician, plays the guitar, does pen and ink drawings and wood burning. He was admiring a painting of mine that I pulled off the wall and handed to him one day, because he said in this honest matter of fact voice... "You know what it is?...You see things... you really, really see them... and it might not be easy for you to make the painting look that way... but you keep working at it until it's just like what you see." For some reason, that helped me grow as an artist more than anything I was ever taught, read, studied...a simple concept.

ready for a little in out in out.

hah great work so far.

i went to barnes and noble and asked for this movie and they said that they dont carry it and neither does any other barnes and noble in the u.s.

Great, freaky movie. Great draw, Sweetcell. I'm no realism expert by a long shot, but I'd suggest you could make the face a little less smooth and a bit rougher looking. Also, his teeth are quite yellow in the ref. You've sure got his crazy glare down perfect. I'm pretty sure you could draw it perfectly if you want to spend the time to! :o)

ps anyone who's interested in purchasing the movie..I found it on ebay if you'd like it.

I give up for now. Could it be his eyes need to be closer? I know because of the angle it's thrown me a little off.

Sugarskull (Jan 5, 2007)

Classic movie. Nice job.

Deino (Jan 6, 2007)

Well, this looks great Sweetcell! CLockwork Orange is a classic movie, one of my favorites :D I tried to draw this very scene when I began with oekakiBBS, the results were not even close to this one.

Alter.Native (Jan 6, 2007)

Looking great and intense so far.

He's a son of a bitch through and through, I've had enough with this picture. But I learned what not to do. X) What was that one scene? That's how I feel right now.......

"I'm singing in the rain..." *boof* "Just singing in the rain" *bam* "What a glorious feeling I'm...." *oof* "Happy again....."

Miharashi (Jan 7, 2007)

daaaaang thats nice-looks just like him. I love the pic, but the movie was *** up. I mean CMON! who wants to see couple of guys rape someones wife??? digressing.... once again, thats an awesome pic!

Sweetcell (Jan 7, 2007)

Well thanks everyone. Klox that's what I did after your advice and saw that the eyes were off, and he looks mighty chubby but I'll definately use your advice in the future. Cindy you know what a coward I am using highlights and shadows, but I keep trying because you push me to try. Must not be a fraidy cat, must not be a fraidy cat. Always learning, never knowing everything. :)
