Description Thanks to , I started sketching a copy of Fred Gallagher's picture of Pirogoeth last Friday...and...this is what I came out with.

Sketched in light pencil, then outlined meticulously with charcoal.

the lines look okay, though in places like lines of shirts and outlines of the main body it could be darker. make sure to know what you want to stand out and what you want to be a bit more unnoticed. *shrug* just my two cents

Thanks! Might I suggest full-viewing so you can critique my details? I need help learning about line values, like where it should be thicker.

Thanks! I'm so glad to finally get something decent up at last...it's been a while. It's just cause I finally took time on this (when I say this, I'm more referring to the completed colored version)...and then today our crazy art teacher tells us she's not going to grade them until monday......so I could've done it this weekend instead of slaving yesterday. But I'm glad it's done. Now I can work ahead on what I WANT to do rather than what she's making us do.

You're welcome! And what do you mean, "something decent"? It's incredible, along with the rest of your pictures. You need to have more confidence in yourself. *And I need to listen to my own advice X.x;;*

Haha, yeah, being able to do what you WANT to do is so nice... I find I have difficulty concentrating on a project when I HAVE to do it.... <.<;;

I guess I see a lot of great art on here everyday and feel like I know I can do better. Which I can, since this picture didn't pose as much of a challenge to me. Most pictures I copy don't. I'm confident in that at least.

Ach, I totally know what you mean. Some of the people I watch make me feel like I can't draw at all, and then I get real frustrated with myself, because I know I can and should be better than I am, but I'm not... *sigh* Ah well, all the more reason to keep practicing and bettering ourselves, ne? ^_^b
