Description Hey,
It's been a while since I last submitted a drawing, but uni is keeping me quite busy these days. And my inspiration also decided to go on holiday.

But there is one thing that I promised for some interested fellow deviant'ers some time ago, and that 'thing' is a drawing tutorial. So... here it comes!
Click the 'Download' button for a full view.

I decided to simply describe my whole drawing process, along with some illustrations for more clarity. The tips and tricks mentioned inside may be already heard by you, but I never ever said that I'm using anything special.
After all, it's always mostly about patience and motivation.

P.S. Please don't use too much critique, since it's my 1st tutorial ever. *puppy eyes* If I get scared, I might never get round to doing another one!

Thanks very much to *redheadstock for wonderful brushes:

OOH WOW! Awesome. When I saw the eye I was questioning myself. "Is that Wentworth?" Sure enough, it was. I love everything about Wentworth. He's a WONDERFUL actor.
Great tutorial too, I need some practice working on eyes in general.

Really. He's one of my faves, too. I only wish there were some more movies with him, not only Prison Break.
Thanks for your sweet words about the tut!

Snow-Owl In reply to obefiend [2008-09-17 17:52:21 +0000 UTC]

Is it because of the size or the font? If it's the size, then simply click "download" to see it bigger. And thanks, btw!!

Um um ... why is that a strange holding? I hold a pencil exactly the same way xD

Snow-Owl In reply to Saari [2008-09-17 18:28:03 +0000 UTC]

I sometimes get comments about it, so I thought I'd better mention it just in case. Well, the thumb is a little further than it should be, when holding a pencil or a ball-point..
