Description Feeling depressed and quiet, this somehow grew out of about five hours of messing around in photoshop. Not even remotely what I set out to do, but I guess that's okay because none of my ideas are any good lately anyway.



There's kind of been alot of crap going on lately, which isn't really the reason I haven't been updating but hasn't helped any. The only other thing I've drawn worth mentioning was a bit too rough to put up here, but can be seen at my livejournal

We dream of things that were never meant to come true...but all the same we dream them.

Insanely Yours,

I absolutely love how tranquil this piece is.
I love the look on her(his?) face. Just that calm, confident look, like she doesn't need to see the world around her, because when she closes her eyes and looks inside herself, she sees magic and passion and beauty.

he looks amazing.... if it's not a bother, could you tell me how you do the skintones? they are quite realistic, and this is what i'm trying to work on now, is skin.

I use a bunch of layers; one for the base color, one for monochromatic shading, one for hightlights, and then one to add color variation. I find that it adds alot to vary the color in the skin; making the ckeeks and nose a little redder, and the area under the eyes a bit more green or blue. Of course, reference always helps; even when I'm not drawing from anything specific, I tend to check in a mirror every so often.

I love those magical swirls! Very Aladdin-ish. The serenity of the expression is wonderful, as are the features.. And I love the detail in the fabric of the tunic! I was almost...surprised by it, you could say. It looks a very simple piece, and then little things like that make you go, Whoa!
