You're a great artist ... your facial portraits are pretty stunning.

But even more so, you're one of the bravest people I've ever seen or read about. You were incredibly awesome to talk to the daily prince like that. (yeah, i totally facebook stalked you.) I can't tell you how much it warmed my heart to see that article, front-page news, about such incredibly important issues. I'm not even an ally or anything, crazy party hard straight sorority girl ... i think i might become an ally though. You inspired me. Thanks for doing that, for the entire university community. This is a random public comment in deviantart of all places, but everyone who visits should know that you're just awesome. For serious ... : P

I like your shading and I want to know how you do it with the hair. I just don't know how to make it look real..

take care

ekblack In reply to redskywalker [2004-06-14 00:52:29 +0000 UTC]

I make scribbles with my pencil (controlled scribbles...), usually my mechanical .5mm for the most part on the heavier paper. Then I use my little Clic eraser or some other thin eraser edge to peel away the pencil, and I use an H and HB to do some more shading and stuff. It's all very hazy and non-logical...
Your pencil works have very good forms. Just try to make the gradients a bit more blended on the faces and they will be outstanding! I especially like the portrait of your mother.
Thanks for visiting!
