Description hey!
so i've been asked a couple times to do some tutorials, and i always mean to, but it just never happens.
anyway, i realize this isn't anything special, but *acjub always loves the eyebrows that i draw lol. so i made an effort to take pics of my process as i drew 'This World Is Not Real'.

so! i hope it isn't a waste and it helps a little bit, at least.

i realize i am crap at explaining....

oh yeah and the font i used is called lumos.
i love me some hp


the final drawing:

I have a thing of reading them EVERY summer; it's an addiction and I'm a hopeless fan lol
It's funny, cos with the Order of Phoenix, I didn't realise Umbridge had set the dementors on Harry - I must have missed it, after the hundreds of times (literally) that i have read the book.... lol

Very useful tutorial. You will always get people who comment thinking they know better. When this happens, I generally have a look at their gallery and if they can do better then I respect their input and try to make the changes, if not then ignore it.

robdolbs In reply to Sekhmets-child [2011-09-01 15:40:47 +0000 UTC]

i'm so happy you think so!
yes, that's what annoys me. when someone who rarely does traditional or realism comments and starts saying i did it wrong.
oh well, what can you do?

Sekhmets-child In reply to robdolbs [2011-09-01 16:10:05 +0000 UTC]

Absobloominlutely nothing. I don't mind taking constructive criticism from someone who can produce that type of work themselves, we can always improve that way. I reckon we just have to ignore the rest. Just keep on producing your brilliant artwork.

There's too many white lines at the end of the eyebrow. I can't see the white lines that you've put in there in the reference at all :/. The only thing slightly like the white lines you've put in could possibly be a couple of white hairs in his eyebrow. But your added white lines are too bold.

robdolbs In reply to wunleebuxton [2011-09-01 04:11:42 +0000 UTC]

it is only my interpretation...
i said at the very beginning it doesn't have to be exact.
it is impossible to make highlights as thin as they are in the reference with the tools i have.

thank you for looking though!

I was just giving a suggestion that you could look over to try and fix the mistake.

like i said, thank you for looking and trying to help.
however, i drew this to the best of my ability and if i had thought i could've done it any better then i wouldn't have made a tutorial with it.
i don't know how often you draw realism, but there is always going to be differences between a photo and a drawing, no matter how hard you try.

anywho, in the future i will try not to make the highlights so bold. thanks!
