Description Pic of all my drawings of 2008.

I've drawn less in 2008 when compared to 2007. Again I tried to be creative and experiment with colors on certain drawings as before. I also wanted to do more drawings with multiple faces and backgrounds in color. This could be why I did less drawings as it took so long to finish a single drawing.

I would say BoA Expressions of Color is the drawing I like the most of all the drawings I've done in 2008. It just seemed to flow very well when I was working on it.
Leg Fighters I like because I've never tried a drawing with so many people together in color. In 2007 I done 4 Kings in b&w so I was determined to do this drawing in color.
The Osh I like because of the posture with the sword which was tricky to draw and color because I blended pencil with pen which made it time consuming.

It's easy for me to say which drawings I didn't like!
Lily Ho and Katherine Heigl were very disappointing! I just couldn't get their faces right!
Beijing 2008 just didn't turn out how I wanted it to. Something about the background which I could maybe have done differently.
My drawing of DA member Aya. I tried blending with the skin using different felt tip pen markers and it failed. I'll know not to do that again!

Thanks to everyone who watches me, comments and faves my work. Full view recommended.


Happy new year to you all!

Thanks.
Well I don't do the most realistic portraits so I'm not the best person for advice.
For realistic portraits it's good to practice shading on the face to show light and dark areas. Use several pencils and experiment. Practice shading to hide the outlines. It takes a while to get used to but that should help you improve. Good luck.

I'm thinking it's quite a small collection of drawings! I sure wish I could draw quicker!

Well I'm glad you think so!

I'm sure you couldn't draw because you must have been very busy with other things!

I really like the drawing of Lily Ho. I thought it was gorgeous. I really liked the details on it. My faves would be The Osh and Come drink with me. And I really liked the portrait you did of me.

You are so sweet Aya!
I suppose as long as you like it I'm happy. But if I ever draw you again I will do a better job!

why?? i mean all your drawings are great but there's is something i can't tell that makes me smile when i look at her maybe her hair...

MLBOA In reply to feb-a [2009-01-06 01:21:49 +0000 UTC]

Maybe because I think I failed on this drawing! But the hair was probably the best part of this drawing!
