Description Ugh, the scan just totalled this, the colors are crap and somehow it looks messier. But, it's a drawing I did for my art class last year, and yesterday I finally found when my dad put it and the rest of my stuff. There's more to it, but I had to scan it in four peices just to get this, and the crap background really isn't worth the trouble

I love the style of it this! It's all brilliant, but the jeans look especially realistic.

Beautiful!
The folds of cloth are really nice, stripes are difucult for me, I find that impressive. And the piece has a really nice enviroment. Wish I could see the real thing if this is the "messed up" version.

Wow gorgeous use of color, and I really like the soft look the pastels lend themselves to, it really works with the piece!

Of course it's worth it. If it doesn't scan well I tend to edit it to the point where it natually resembles the original to some degree. This is beautufully done, so much consideration to the lighting and colour, not only that you've given the subject a home and as a result looks a lot more dramatic and makes practical use of free space. Keep it up.

Mainly I say w00t because of the shadeing/shadow play/lighting is very apt/fitting/good/pulled off well.

And the folds of the clothing and the realistic feel of it is also very nice.

You really have amazing skill with color. I love how the clothes look especially. The jeans look so realistic, which is pretty hard to achieve in my experience. Awesome piece!

Thanks I wish you could see how the colors really looked, because it's better. Though I put alot of time into fixing the scan, so this isn;t as bad as it could be.

Very nice... did you paint this? If so I'm insanely jealous. I also, again, love the style; it seems to come out in everything you do, which is good because it gives your work distinction from other things without taking away from the quality.

Nope, pastels. I have used very little paint in my life; my mom wouldn't let me have it when I was little. And thank you

They're so messy, they get all over the place and smudge like crazy. Plus, I like what I am familiar with, and I am most familiar with colored pencil. You can blend with colored pencil if you know how... what I realy like about the pastels is that you can draw light over dark, which is just not possible with colored pencil.

Wow, that's some skill right there. Chalk pastel? Beautiful job on the proportions. The lighting and shading is excellent. It really looks very nice. ^^ I wish I could do realism like that.

Oops, I forgot to say Yeah, pastels. I hated them at first, but they grew on my pretty quickly when I started drawing stuff like this with them. For all I love my colored pencils, I could never make anything like this with them.
