Description
I realized just how much I hate doing these photo-realistic drawings. You know how much time they take?! And effort?!//headdesk//
Expect less fancy stuff from me from now on. I'm finding a simple, friendly style that will allow me to draw my ideas in an hour instead of 10.
But enough of that. Here's Samantha Carter, from Stargate SG-1. I'm barely into the series but I wanted to draw her.
Don't mention the eyes. Just don't. I tried to get them to match up about 20 different times, but she still looks like she's looking off in the distance.
I didn't bother finishing the clothes. They were taking too much time and I'm damn lazy. Eh, whatever. At least I got her done. It took a while and I had to force myself, but I got it done.
As usual, hand drawn using reference, Paint Tool Sai, I don't want to think about how many hours.

Your photo-realistic drawings are so good *_* I'm very jealous!!! And Samantha Carter is totes BAMF. I'm also just barely started the show but already I kind of really love her. I hope she owns the rest of the series. Hmm there's this tutorial somewhere that talks about how to align/position eyes depending on where you want to imply their focus... but damn <3 nice!!!

you silly.
Always making me think these are photos.
which is a little ridiculous because I know that you don't put photos up here. xD
Fantastic job as usual, I love the textures!

Thank you!! The hair killed me. I'm lucky she had short hair, otherwise I'd be dead D:
yeah, the photo was strange. Her head is at an angle to the ear is higher and her hair is covering most of it... but I just followed the photo because I was afraid to mess with it XD

Heehee, thank you!
I'm working on one now, but it's for doing drawings without reference so it'll be very hard to follow XD;
