oh my god. an update?! you actually posted something!

i love how you did the spinal cord-- very realistic. your shading is really well done as well. as for the drapes, i think you could have made them a bit thicker and wavier, especially on the left side (it looks kind of stiff). but other than that, it's lovely!

ramadan kareem!

hmmm
well well well
advanced critique encouraged ahem ahem

I really like the back, maybe thora sa darker shade skin per dopattay kay pass pass kay aisay lagay kay back per say thora sa utha howa hai :S...realistic ho jaye ga in my opinion.....errmm....spinal cord ko main medically examine nahee karta .....sab fit hai but i dont know.....somethings not right with the head ...proportions.....Bus itni critique kafi hai as mujhay bhee pata hai kay main kitna pani mein hoon

take cares you

ahm
hello stranger

okay i,d like to point out that you should work with proportions
if yer proportions are good in drawings.. u wont need any other thing to make it look good
a rough sketch with rough lines but good proportions is an eye candy

but for now i'd say ... very very nice work like usual
keep drawing werna u'll lose yer touch

( forgod sakes drop a note by mistake i missed you)

it's a cool drawing, if you wanna improve draping, i would say, do some exercise with some real clothing rather than a reference picture... maybe you could also use a desk lamp to get the shade you want to work on

hi aisha!! i miss you

You gave much curve to spinal in upper portion which is OK but not good. And also shade on right hand elbow is not very realistic but on left is good. And Dopatta also has too many curves for no reason what I believe? Rest it’s a good work… I think its enough to break ur heart ahahahahha

you've done a great job with the drapes actually - it's overall a really well done drawing - great job!
one thing though - what kinda pencils do you use? this could look so awesome with strong charcoal shading..or maybe even less pencil detail and use of inks?
Just a suggestion. But if you feel strongly enough about using pencils then I reckon go for it. Your definately definately on the right track

BlessedStranger In reply to r0shika [2007-09-09 19:39:39 +0000 UTC]

Hey ROshika! Really appreciated ur comments..felt a little gud about myself too! No i haven't used the mediums that you specified.. iguess I should..... charcoals u said?.... and indian ink?! RIght? What else do u think I could have used?!.. i used HB, 4B n 6B pencils.......

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

r0shika In reply to BlessedStranger [2007-09-12 08:09:37 +0000 UTC]

Hey no problem

U could maybe try sketching pencils for a softer tone. I'd recommend water based varnish pencils in 8b for the dark tones (these are nice to smudge too and rough sketches tend to look pretty decent with them )

For the charcoal try getting hold of black and white charcoal pencils - theyre really good for toning/shading.

and either indian ink or pigment ink pens should be great too

These would pretty much the materials I'd suggest

Play around with different materials. I didn't try any before getting into art school but it's a lot of fun and the skill improves heaps!

very nice work...makes me wunna get back to art...but wahhdodo college is keeping me busy!! i love da shading nd da hair..da right elbow seems a lil less smudged or blened in?(im not even as good as u ...so i wudnt knw how to explain it dat well..but do u see it?) n im guessig shes holding the cloth behind her? if so, im guessing dere should be more folds or curves dea..to indicate dat she is actually holding it...jus my opinions...i think this work is brilliant.. its only cause uve asked for it dat ive said diss...its jus awesome!! i love ur art

Hi nice to see u here after a long time..Hmm Drapery is one of the most important thing in sketching..u have done a good job..In mu humble opinion u can practice more on blending the highlights and shadows wid their middle tone..Smudging wid paper, tissue or a cotton is not a good thing cuz majority of good artist will not prefer u doing so..In the same way u can work more on her back skin by blending wid ur pressure strokes of a pencil..It can be improved by hell lot of practice cuz am also was very bad in that ..U have done an excellent job wid her hairs..Brilliant execution of line making..Overall really nice work indeed..Wish u all the best in life..Take carez..Cheers

Really appreciate your comments Hasan! You're absolutley right about the smudging part. My art proff repeated like gizzillion times in class yesterday "NO smudging in this course!" I'll try the technique that ΓΊ mentioned..Thanks (:

Nice! You can have some more better results with smudging. I guess you didn't use it on Drapes! Although you did it on the back. I like the spinal cord curve... very nice! Are you an art student?
