Description Yeah, Anthony, chill. You'll get your title.

Done kind of spur of the moment
3-4 hours

If you can tell I made up her hair in a rush at the end, you get a cookie. Just kidding, pretend not to notice. Also, it doesn't particularly look like Kelly, but whatever. I tried. A little. ishhh.

Anyway so yeah, this was fun. Part of the whole spur of the moment thing was using whatever pencils were on my desk.

yeah

Your realism drawings are so amazing. I genuinely wish I could do that. I suppose you've taken many many art classes, of which I have not been able to. *frowns* Apart from art classes, what do you suggest as a good way to learn and get better?

I HONESTLY had terrible art teachers until 9th grade, and by then i was doing my own thing in class anyway. As for getting better.. um.. practice as much as you can. try all different styles, have fun!

thanks very much.
it's good pencil, very waxy
costs a pretty penny, but it's worth it.

Your coloring is awesome when you do your abstract stuff, but it's bloody AMAZING when you apply it to more concrete pictures, such as this semi-realism. I am very impressed.

mycat-theastronaut In reply to AmbrMerlinus [2006-12-01 01:39:16 +0000 UTC]

funny story, most of that abstract comes from years of trying to learn how to draw and blend realistic hair.

thanks for a genuine compliment. I'm flattered, though i have to wonder what full realism would look like coming from me. you should see me try to do a flesh tone haha

AmbrMerlinus In reply to mycat-theastronaut [2006-12-01 01:40:25 +0000 UTC]

I actually would like to see you try to do a flesh tone. I'm sure it would come out interesting at the very least.

haha. i'd try really hard for an inch or two and then it would just mysteriously turn bright red and purple

numbaonegee [2006-11-30 13:38:22 +0000 UTC]

wow you basically read my mind. i got on the computer, went to devian art, saw that there was a new deviation, clicked it and saw "KELLY THE SWAMP THING." i clicked and saw and was like....wtf. i scrolled down and saw, Yeah, Anthony, chill. You'll get your title.

so you are pretty smart.

also, i think it wouldnt make much sense if you were to name a pic of kelly anthony. so good judgement.

no one ever draws me. boo hoo-ish.
