Description Our most recent art assignment was dramatic lighting. Of course I forgot every single idea I had had for it. I took about a hundred pictures using my sun lamp and everything, but ended up finding this in my reference photo file.

I spent a lot of time shading the folds and parts of the pants, only to remember this thing had to be dark. The reference picture (the darkened one, not the original) had everything on the pants black. So, I had to go and color black over my carefully shaded bits. I had meant to scan the shaded layers onto here to show my progress, but i forgot to bring it home, then I was told to darken it... *sigh*

So, it's a self-portrait, and the photo is in my stock gallery here:

This is very well done, the light on the hair gives it a very soft texture

Awesome! I saw your photo, too. Looks amazing, really, and the shadows. ^^ Really well done. I have a problem with crayons...can't shade too well with colors yet. :/ Only with oil, or acrylic, and another stuff, but not crayons. :/

I love your work. Keep on! ^_^

Dramatic pose is good! The lighting is rendered really well, and the expression is awesome. XD
The folds in the pants look very realistic, as does the hair.

This is quite stunning. I did think it was a photograph. One thing that's slightly off is the left pantleg (viewer's right) seems a bit different than the right, shading wise. It's more drastic than its counterpart.

Well done, though.

kurios In reply to Mecha-Koneko [2005-05-07 19:00:14 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, the (viewer's) left pant leg is supposed to be darker. I'll have to fix that if the pencil isn't already built up too much on that side.

Thank you very much.
