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!!!

    lol aww well... it would have been nice if you asked some permission first but it's okay as long as you don't claim it's yours!

    no i was just practicing to draw, and it turned out to be a disaster. sorry for not asking first, but i didn't think u would mind becuase i didn't show anyone.

    princessgaara In reply to ??? [2007-12-02 03:57:45 +0000 UTC]

    So you don't start out with any guidelines or anything like that? You just draw it? What happens when you put a lot of work into something and discover it doesn't fit correctly on the page?

    Cataclysm-X In reply to princessgaara [2007-12-02 13:45:09 +0000 UTC]

    Yup that's right

    Something like that never happened before. It always fits on my sketchbookpaper perfectly

    princessgaara In reply to Cataclysm-X [2007-12-02 18:45:57 +0000 UTC]

    Well that's really lucky. That kind of thing happens to me a lot so I need to plan out the picture with the guidelines ahead of time.

    the-argent [2007-12-01 22:39:52 +0000 UTC]

    Quite good, quite good, but I expected and wanted something a bit different when I saw the title. A tutorial that involves only traditional drawing, before digital revision. Think you can do that?

    Cataclysm-X In reply to the-argent [2007-12-02 13:47:12 +0000 UTC]

    but... I only changed the contrast just a little with Photoshop, the rest was done with pencil and paper

    the-argent In reply to Cataclysm-X [2007-12-02 17:11:55 +0000 UTC]

    Well...I'm just looking for a way to get my drawing to a higher level without asking straight forward for a tutorial
    Just not sure if some of the more mediocre drawers can follow all along until the portrait is finished. Good one nonetheless, don't bother with my whining

    Cataclysm-X In reply to softballdodig8 [2007-12-02 13:48:53 +0000 UTC]

    For this drawing I didn't use erasers
    But normally I use a small eraser, or a pencilshaped eraser pretty cool stuff!!!

    i absolutely loving your art! you're honestly quite talented and i envy you lol.
    but i have a question about scanning...
    everytime i try to scan my sketches/drawing the graphite reflects so they don't out well at all
    how do you get your drawings to scan so well?
