Bones4's first portrait attempt.

As I've said, this is not finished. I have corrected the mistakes mentioned here. Some of you noticed where the problems were, but you were mistaken with how to fix them...  at least on the eyes.

I know this may differ from artist to artist, but I personally don't recommend using the smudge stick, it may take longer but doing cross hatched line shading looks better in a finished piece.

That's not true for all cases though. Also, smudge sticks suck, finger ftw.

Well, using the kneaded eraser works, but overdoing a piece with smudging just looks sloppy.

Are you saying this drawing looks sloppy? I only use the stick when the area is too small for my finger.

[Jannet]

I won't tell you who it is. Hopefully you can tell. I'll finish it soon.



Comments and constructive criticism appreciated.

I think these was edited with paint.net or GIMP or APS

Nooo, it's a nice drawing  .

I meant in general as a tip I learned from my Studio Art course and Drawing II courses. I had to do a portrait of a kid sitting next to me and my teacher nit-picked me until I got it right. (she still has all my works >:| )

I...  have never taken a class.

Why her? Looks good bones

[Bones4]

I searched for actress. Also, she's gorgeous.

because everyone wants to do her.

and this drawing, if it was an actual person, i would do too.
so yes in a demented way, that was a compliment.

[Afkpuz]

[Bones4]

Two hours?

[WhoDa?]
