Description First attempt at realism for a long time for me. Not bad after doing so much anime/manga stuff I think!
Hopefully I'll improve, especially with details.
Enjoy!

Used: HB, 2B, 4B Pencils

By the way I have no idea who it is! I found the picture on my computer, if anyone can recognise her, please tell me... ^__^"

Oh wow, this amazes me! I love how you portrayed her expression so well in this, and how it's nice and soft. The shading is beautiful as well. Nice work!

The skin looks fabulous. But her ear looks a little unrefined since it isn't that detailed, and though i can understand wanting to keep her bra/bikini/whatever-that-piece-of-clothing-is very white for contrast, it looks unfinished with the amount of shading it has now. That is simply my opinion . Her eyes are well done and very gorgeous! Eyelashes that long should be illegal XD. The creases on her eyelid and the eyebrow look very realistic . Overall good job

Thanks for the comments! I can see what you say about the ear, I suppose I got a bit lazy, haha!

LaPumpkina [2006-05-10 09:34:40 +0000 UTC]

Oh wow, so awesome! Great amount of detail and its soo...realistic
The toning was probably a bit dark for the top but then again i think it's contrasting and makes you looks more at the girl than the top. So in other words its cool regardless

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Tabogganwheel In reply to LaPumpkina [2006-05-10 10:09:16 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Actually, the reason for the darkness is it's damn hard to rub out 4B pencil once you've put a few layers of shading on... XD

Ah no matter what type of drawing style you embark upon (whether it be anime/manga, realism etc) you pull off the job effortlessly and beautifully This drawing is really good! I love your tonal work - and you've captured her expression quite nicely

krs2510 [2006-05-09 04:47:01 +0000 UTC]

you should use more range in pencil. 8B, 2B, HB, 2H would be good... Maybe even 6B too! XD But still... you got some mad skills!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Tabogganwheel In reply to krs2510 [2006-05-09 07:23:24 +0000 UTC]

I had a 6B and 2H on hand but I didn't feel the need to use them, especially 2H. HB is light enough for me, it's all about control really.
Thanks for the comment though!

Just takes some confidence and practise! Trust me, I usually think my drawings look bad until I finish them. Just persevere!

You did a great job. It would be interesting to see how well it would progress to colour. Didn't the reference pic have a deathnote book in the corner?

Haha, no... really I still have no idea who the person is... XD
And as for colours, I'm horrible with colour pencils... ^__^"
I can use watercolours and that's it, but that's a totally different kettle of fish.

I do believe you but just tilt the head a bit in this [link]

Maybe you should put some of your "horrible" work up so we can help. I seem to remember the words, all it takes is practise!

Lin is actually a model/singer in disguise so we dont recognise her!!! I think we're onto something...

I agree, hopefully she doesn't come back and read the comments so she thinks her cover is still good
