This is soooo good, I love all the details, en how you used the contrast and shading
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Contrast is so win, lol. I dunno, but for some reason, I always like to use my pencil to kind of mimic black and white photrography from like, the old days.

oh and this might be random, but then when i saw a piece that was like, really, really in your style. :00 ...in my english class lol. i was like huhh looks like a familiar style, and i came home it was like woahh. yeah, randomrandom.

Lol. Thank you. I swear, though, there's not much to it. You could check back in my gallery for a shading tutorial - that might help, but the main thing is practice - training your hand to be highly pressure sensitive. In digital art, there are like 512-1024 (depending on the brand) levels of sensitivity for tablets. But for graphite, the range is infinite, especially if you expand into multiple types of pencils.
Lol. And that said, I wish I had half the loose freedom that you do in your work.
And haha, does that mean you were surfing DeviantART in English class? o.O
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, i saw your tutorial. i will practice~
nooo, it was an artwork hung up in front of the class. musical devices with definitions of alliteration and stuff or something. it reminded me of your style though, lol.

This is a really beautiful piece of pencil work, the best I've seen on DA, actually.
Your hard work on it has clearly paid off, you have an immense skill for details, form, shadow and lighting placements, that makes this scene particularly realistic. The angle adds a lot more emotion to the piece as well, it brings an unbalanced, chaotic feeling.
Excellent contrast too, you did well on the pillars, the shadows, and the lighter colored areas too, like her blonde hair, I can almost see the color in this piece. Some parts are eerily realistic too, the armor, the semi-realistic hair, it's so beautiful. The flow of this image is remarkable, the loose pose, the way his body directs you out of the picture, perfectly done.
I also commend you on the swirling feathers, again, they bring focus and chaos into the picture, and they don't ruin any detail; they retain their own details, even through the convincing blur. I'm thoroughly impressed, you are surely one of my DA idols.

Haha, the blur is the Photoshop edit I referred to. Thank you. This is like, the nicest - most thorough- comment, I've ever gotten. Haha, you notied like, all the things I was raking my brain over.
That said, I looked at yoru age on your DA page... MY GOD YOU'RE YOUNG. O_O
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Apologize for replying late, been really busy. 
You're welcome, I try and be as thorough as possible in my comments, I've gotten enough generic/"pretty"/"teach me 2 use layerz lol kthx" too, so it's the least I can do to help out the community.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol. I wish I had a "good art" button"! XD
Haha. Understandable.
Hey, age is a measure of potential? *shrug* I dunno. LIke, if you are younger, you've had less years of practice?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Perhaps; age isn't a matter of talent though, I don't think. It just means you've had more of a chance/less of a chance to practice, like you said. For instance, you're talented no matter if you're 13 or 50.
