Description Portrait of the Alias *IT* girl.
Her hair was exceptionally difficult, but after working with it for a number of weeks I've finished and decided to mess with it no longer.

The 'it' girl indeed... who was the original...? Clara Bow, was it?

Get ready for some criticism now... Don't take it personal, it's meant to be constructive, and feel free to hammer any of my work afterwards...

I like your drawing, though something seems rather off about the left side of her face (her left side, not ours). I kinda expect a part of her left ear to be visible, when the hair is drawn back like that. And unless, she's raising her left eyebrow, the left eye seems a little misplaced. The face could also use a tad more shadowing... As could the hair, but hair is not easy, I know

Otherwise, I find it hard to criticize any more... I love the eyes, the nose and the lips.

You're right.,, I just watched some of Alias, and her ears are in fact positioned unusually far back... Funny...

Cool! Thank you for the crit.

I know what you mean about the eye, there is something off that wasn't apperent while I was drawing. Hair is always torture to draw, lol. However the photograph doesnt' show her ear.

You are so great at capturing the human face, I have to give you that. You should go into portraiture or somethig like that. You can really see the detail you put into your work with those skilled pencil strokes. It must take you ages! Great sense of shade and shadow as well. It's really amazing. I wish I had that same minute attention to detail you have. It's mindboggling.

Thank you for one of the best comments I've ever recieved here at DA.
But I have to say I envey the ease at which you seem to draw your characters. I envy the way you put Rogue and Gambit together. (not to mention the rest of the gang)

Heh, if I see something I like, I have to express why I like it in minute detail. You've probably noticed that
Anyhow, thanks for the comment. The reason why I seem to draw the characters with such apparent ease is because, basically, I'm obsessed. It works the same with writing. If you're obsessed with something, you tend to put your heart and soul into expressing it. That's my secret anyhow

snowunmasked [2003-10-26 11:39:18 +0000 UTC]

Amazingly well done. Instantly recognizable.
I fancy the lips and the nose. You've achieved an especially solid and texturized effect in these particular regions.
And the eyes - they're so alive.

Great job

One of the best comments I've had on this piece. Thank you so much. Since the nose and lips are two of my most challenging parts of the face to capture, I'm more than pleased that you feel they're solid. :bow:

Thank you!

WOW you are excellent! My bf, soul-tempest, commented on your bride one. I really like this one. so real. Do you think you could use a computer program and color it or just color it sometime? I bet THEN it would almost be like a photograph! That's awesome!

This is great! I love her eyes - the word that comes to mind is "milky" for some reason. The look lickable. That sounded *really* gross. But it's a compliment, really
