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..

Lemme get this straight........You used.....a 0.5 mechanical pencil.???? For the whole thing??????? Holy freaking God...!
Okay...Now for a really comment with out the gawking...

I love the detail...You are dubbed the detail God. I love the shading and the highlights. Just...wow.

The only thing I really notice which is a bit hard to do is the differences between the ears and the sides of the nose. The left ear is bigger and more detailed than the right. The right side of the nose seems a bit different than the left side. Freaking awesome.....

LOL thanks yeah it took awhile using my .5 pencil...
And actually his nose and ears are crooked like that in real life, just look at the reference picture I used (a link to it is in the description). I don't glamorize portraits of people by fixing unsymmetrical features in their faces, I prefer to get it as close to the real thing as possible.

Lost-Vampire In reply to Algorithmic [2008-04-23 16:16:29 +0000 UTC]

As I said...You are the pencil god.
Yea I tried looking at the reference pic but it said the image was unavailable. I wasn't sure though so I just made a mention about it. Yea that always irritates me when people "fix" others flaws...I think it's the flaws that make the pictures art.

Hmm... that's weird I went to the site and apparently all their images aren't working
Thanks for you complements though , I've mentioned it a few times in the posts above you, people are always so surprised that they didn't notice he had a crooked nose lol

Lost-Vampire In reply to Algorithmic [2008-04-24 18:58:16 +0000 UTC]

Honestly I never noticed. And it's a bit easier to critique a drawing than a photo. Especially since photoshoping them is much more popular...So it's a bit hard to pick out or even notice the flaws that person has.

SULTRYBABY [2008-03-03 01:19:46 +0000 UTC]

I am amazed in how quick you were able to apply tones with pencil, instead of blending. Your speedy and your tones do give this piece realism. You do not need a tortillion at all.
