Description My 5th tutorial's done!!!
Click download to get the larger version.

I know what you're thinking:
'But... oh mighty =Cataclysm-X , why art thou submitting a tutorial which wasn't shown in thy poll?'
lol

Well... like this tutorial says: just 'cause.
Actually, I think it makes more sense if you read this tutorial before you'll see my next (upcoming) tutorials:
  • Proportions tutorial

  • Detailed hair tutorial


  • Besides, I'm looking for my muse. I lost it a week ago. I started with several drawings (actors, Kingdom Hearts...) but none of them look right.

    Has anyone seen my muse anywhere? If you'll find it, you'll get a free cookie.


    I used the work in progress files of my Jared Leto drawing to get this done.
    I knew I could use those WIPs for something useful someday...

    Anyway, have fun with this tutorial!! Hope you'll find it useful!!!

    oh, hay! You posted it!

    You draw without sketching the entire thing first? Well that's something totally new to me! You're an expert in drawing realism! I just love the way you make eyes and textures so accurately!

    o_o!! I don't think that no matter how well you teach someone how to draw, no one will ever draw good as you! Awesome tutorial but this is too high level to me. Your too godly!!><
    oh, and what do you use to draw? do you use pencil and smudge with finger? Q-tips?and erase to
    shape it around? How do you measure?
    do you draw lines or squares? and erase as you draw? sorry digging your secret...

    Rosaka-Chan [2007-12-03 13:13:06 +0000 UTC]

    No pencil sketches first?
    That's very interesting style.
    It's easy to draw uncorrect measurement and scales without the light pencils sketch. The result might look very abnormal. xD

    I'm surprised by your skills.

    Good tutorial.

    Yey 8D !!

    So, do you like, sketch the face first, for anatomy reasons or whatever, or do you just start with the eye and shade it in and just do everything else in progression? o:

    Cataclysm-X In reply to xPlutoniiumxStephx [2007-12-04 20:26:31 +0000 UTC]

    hmm well... I just start to draw the eye and so forth!! But sometimes I draw the outlines first depends on my mood, really hehe
