Description So I recently watched Frozen with my little sister and I just fell in love with Elsa and this face when she sang Let It Go


I had to redo the eyes a couple times because I could never get it right even now it looks off

I never thought eyes should be COMPLETELY portioned... Isn't like...one side of the face suppose to be different anyways?

Besides, I don't think anyone is really looking at the eyes as the centerpiece of your creation here. Even though they are beautiful! I mean I really love how you did the shines in them and everything!

To be honest, I'm more focus on that hair! It looks absolutely gorgeous! May I ask what your technique was to make it without lines? To make it look like a painted portrait >w
I like asking questions to artist, I'm trying to learn new things, and I figured asking would be the best right? c:

You are most certainly correct! Asking questions is a great way to understand and learn more.

What I do is sketch out the image and colour straight onto that sketch, using the colours of the lines of the sketch for the shading. I don't know if I'm making sense but essentially it's like this:

Maybe I'll make a tutorial on something one day

I guess the most important thing is to understand where the light and shadows fall.


Is this helping in any way?

That's what I always believe in.

Yea I think that makes sense. So your merge the sketches with the color?

I hope I don't sound rude, I think I get it though ;v;

Yeah I always hated going lineart so in the end I kind of gave up on it


Just slap on colours. I don't know if you use it but I really like the brushes in Paint tool SAI. If you haven't already, you should try that.

Yea, I actually do use SAI. My best friend got me using it a while back. Grant it, I did nothing with it because I got really busy  when I was in high school, so I never had the time to actually sit down and draw. When I graduated I had a few months of nothing so I kinda sat down and tried new things for a while. One of the styles I got into was when you take the lines and put another layer over it and clip it together and color in using the clipped layer with a darker shade or a lighter. I'm also trying other styles like I said, I was just really curious on your techniques. ^^
Thank you so much!! I really do appreciate it!

I love this movie Weird but I doLove the color you used on her and the drawing! The eyes though kinda dragged it down. But overall it's amazing!

Thank you so much!

When you say "dragged down", do you mean it's too low on the face?

moondrop1XD In reply to Chocolate-Cocoa [2013-12-28 18:42:39 +0000 UTC]

Haha don't mention it Oh no like the eyes are bit off. Dragged down means like a 4/5 instead of a 5/5 you know what I mean right?
