Description He wants your brain.....


_______________
Link to reference drawing:
LINK

Materials used:
0.5 mechanical pencil, and a sheet of plain printer paper

No smudging used (I don't have one of those smudge stick things, so I just made a lot of really small lines for the shading )

Contrast added using PS7

I started this two weeks ago... but with homework and stuff I wasn't working on it much, so It probably took me about 4-6 hours..

He is so smexy

I've never been able to really understand him throughout the whole series lol he keeps surprising me but he is creepy nevertheless

not-sleeping [2009-05-20 18:51:13 +0000 UTC]

Great details throughout, the only thing really missing is some highlights, a lot of the face exists on the same value scale but you have enough subtle tones to make the curvature and ridges realistic. Highlights would pop them out some more.
I can't give you enough love for the hair though. It's perfect

CrystalEnceladus [2009-05-20 06:47:46 +0000 UTC]

The shadows of the brow over the eyes...I haven't noticed anyone do that before.

He wants your brain. Doesn't matter he has the other guys, but you're good enough so he'll want it. Wicked stuff!

His left ear is shorter than the right.

Algorithmic In reply to CrystalEnceladus [2009-05-20 08:01:56 +0000 UTC]

Thanks I appreciate it
His left nostril is also higher than the other, and the ear thing is just because of the angle his head is turned. I didn't want to ignore imperfections in his face because of vanity.... seems silly.

Please take a look at the Photo reference I've linked in the description and you'll see that the shadow under the eye, the ear thing, and nose are just as I drew it.

CrystalEnceladus In reply to Algorithmic [2009-05-20 08:11:28 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, pretty much, I had a feeling the nose was from the ref. It's funny, his head doesn't look turned, which is why I commented on the ear, but it's the same as the ref. He's a weird looking bloke, but still sexy. You did an excellent job!

Heheh, I don't use those smudging things, either, and you're much better than I.

Algorithmic In reply to oceanlanae [2009-05-17 18:16:24 +0000 UTC]

Haha, it's the guy who plays Spock in StarTrek and Sylar in another scifi show.. (I'm a bit of a scifi fan )
Anyway thanks yup, tiny lines, It's good practice to see to what magnification I can control the muscles in my hand accurately... and because I ate all the q-tips...

Sci fi is cool, although I've never watched Star Trek much but I know who Spock is lol! Well you must have amazingly steady hands to do that....
you eat q-tips? lol

BloodyVoodoo [2008-11-14 23:00:23 +0000 UTC]

Fantastic job! The shading looks great considering you didn't use anything to smudge. I usually wrap my finger in a tissue napkin. That works well for shading.

rikufanattic [2008-10-15 00:55:33 +0000 UTC]

It is simply awesome... and I'll admit I'm a Sylar fan girl...

I like how you didn't smudge though, but it must have been a little more time consuming considering you used small lines for the shadows.
Still that's great and I really like how it is, giving it, or rather not using the darknest of the dark and the lightest of the light captures a different mood for the drawing, it's kinda like nostalgic.

Really unique style of shading. Very similar to mine it turns out. Also great attention to detail on the hair. There are some swirls in there that are tremendous.

Kudos on ye.
