Description Be aware of this big ass tutorial, lol. This might take you a while to download!

This is my proof I just love you guys and gals. I've been spending hours, days, weeks, even months to create this! I'm so glad it's done. Now I can get back to drawing portraits again, yay . Hmm who shall I draw next?

I've got nothing more to say. Just lay back, watch and have fun.

Haha I don't know there's a tutorial about drawing the face too. At least I haven't made one. But I did create 2 other tutorials about drawing the eye and the nose. Not sure you've seen them?

Haha he is, but still I kinda prefered him in the game than in the movie (yeah I was talking about FFAC ). Though I must say he doesn't look bad in the movie either lol.

fullcreamilk In reply to Cataclysm-X [2007-04-19 02:11:15 +0000 UTC]

Damn right he doesn't look bad I like his 'tude in the game. I thought it was a bit mean at first and then he softened.

But he only has what, 10 minutes worth of lines in the movie minus the grunts that he does?

I understand. It seems that such a simple $0.50 pencil in different hands can make different things. Are you a professional?

Indeed!

I'm not a professional, but I hope I can achieve to become one someday .
Until then I just try to do what's right and help others if they need help.

Haha aww hair is hard to draw and it can be a real pain in the ass if you don't like to draw it. I can't give you any more advice than by telling you to read the tutorial carefully . If you still have some questions left, you're free to ask me!

Thank you

Well you do need a lot of patience to draw it as good as how you want it to be. But, and I've said this to quite some other people as well, if you're having fun drawing hair, time doesn't really matter. Lately I enjoy drawing hair, even though it takes me half a day. .

Hmmm dA can be pretty annoying sometimes. Maybe you should try it again (if you haven't already). If it still doesn't work, you should change the file from jpeg to png or jpg or anything related. Maybe that will work?
