Description For 's Amy Lee contest.

Using this as a reference: [link]

I've been working on the face and hair, and this is the result... The face would be finished, but I'd like to know if I should do the shading darker, like in the original picture... I think it's not dark enough, and feels a little weird with the black hair, but maybe you guys think it's ok. If it is, I'll be working on the neck and necklace next.

Thanks! So far I used 2H, F, HB and 2B pencils. I think I never used so many kinds for a drawing!

FANTASTIC
As for your darker question--I think to be closer to the picture it should be a bit darker BUT I have to tell you from my own experience---Dark is a hard thing to fix so if you feel like it should be darker then do it GRADUALLY b/c it can turn into a disaster fast---I think its fine just the way it is to be honest. Are they judging by the reference picture?

Thanks! Yup, I'll do that gradually... I'm always super stressed when shading an area, I'm always biting my nails lol! I had to erase the lips twice, so I'm gonna be more careful now.

Um, that's a good question, the reference pic... I'll send Caro a note right now, I'll ask her. Thanks again!

Hehe poor you! Oh I asked for the judging. Caro says that if it's photomanip or vexels, she WILL judge from the reference picture, but if it's a drawing, it doesn't matter much. I worked on the shading anyway, I'll upload another WIP now, so we'll see if it's better.

i would make it a bit darker, too. and for me the right eye seems a bit too small. but maybe its just because of the brightness overall.

IsabelleLaurin In reply to original001 [2007-06-18 15:08:17 +0000 UTC]

Ok, will make it darker. And I have had so much trouble with that eye! I'll try making it a big bigger, but even on the picture it looked smaller. I'll be working on that. Thanks for the advice! Much appreciated!
