Day 28

Chell, the protagonist from the games "Portal" and "Portal 2."

This is mostly not a trace, too!

Day 20

I finally got this scanned in!

I later did some edits, and here's the edited version.

Thanks for viewing!

Day 16

Just a sketch of a female face. Since my scanner is back up, I did a graphite sketch. Unfortunately, the drawing didn't turn out real well. The eye of the viewer's left and the mouth are kinda messed up. I fixed it a bit with photoshop, but it's still messed.

I hope that you like it! I think that it's okay, but could be better... a good bit better.

Thanks for viewing!

Day 13

This is going to have a bit more content than my average post, especially since all of it was created within the last 24 hours. The first sketch you'll see is something that I was drawing purely by description and suggested adjustment from a friend. I like it a lot, but it's not exactly like what the picture was "Supposed" to (not saying that it's incorrect.) Anyway, here is that:

I love the way that one came out; I think it's a really great work and I'm quite happy with it. Nevertheless, me and my friend both wanted me to do something that was closer to the original picture. So, using the original photo as a reference, I came up with the following. I'm going to post it as the sketch, then colored hair, then the almost finished one. There will be one more after these.

At this point, I'd basically finished it, but the lips were lacking correct color or any detail. So, finally, the finished version:

Thanks for viewing, I hope that you like this! Feedback would be very appreciated!

Another graphite female portrait

Hey everyone! This is the second draft, having edited the chin and cheek. Not perfect, but pretty good I think. I hope you like it!

Two new pieces. Portraits!

I've done two portraits in photoshop, the first I'm not sure how long it took, but the second took at least ten hours. 'Twas fun!

A new pencil drawing!

Yesterday my parents bought me some nice art stuff. A 12 pencil set ranging all the way from 6B to 4H! And, a .3 and .5 MM fine point pens. And lastly, a 14x21.6 and a 22.9x30.5 CM wire bound sketch pads.

Here is a picture that I drew with the pencils.

I darkened it a lot on my computer, so it's a little messed up looking. Still, I think that I did alright on the shading - though overall it isn't the best ever - but okay nevertheless.

New self portrait.

This self portrait took a while. I spent a good couple hours on it, and really like the result.

Here is the picture which I took of myself to base the drawing off of:

Here is the sketch which I traced from the original. I used this, sometimes consulting the original to help interpret it, to draw the finished product. Some line bubbles represent dark areas, while others represent details - such as eyes.

Next is the finished product. This took quite a while and I really like it.

GIMP and scans.

Today, instead of drawing something new, I have done large amounts of updating. I did scans of pictures, and photoshopped my latest face picture to make it look better. Here they are:

 

 

 

The following is a basic drawing of a female face which I did a while ago. I know that it is pretty poor, but this is the best I could do a few months ago. Compared to the first picture on this blogpost, you can see how much I have improved.
