Description What's on your mind when you are alone in the dark?


Those who know me know how frustrated I get when I clean up all my work so that it's as smooth as a baby's butt. I hate it! I just can't stop! So this time I am gonna upload it a lil messy. I think it may be a lil dark...but that was the whole point of the drawing...Anyway...it's still not the effect I want...but hey...I'll get there one day!
Be gentle!!!
Whoa that was a long description!
Oh...and the model was from an ad...of...I dunno... of...something...

this piece really does a good job conveying feeling. contemplation or anxiety but not scared. and again, the eye is very good. however, i think the forehead is a bit too shiny - i like the idea of darkness and maybe it should seem like she's shrouded in it more? anyways, very well done. definitely one i'll keep as a favorite.

Beautiful work, Tara! Love the look in her eye... the deep thought expressiveness of the piece... very dark which helps convey the title even more...

Beautiful work!

the original photo was used as part of an image pack supplied for a ThinkDan design competition.

I recognised it from the thumbnail as I'd used that image in my entry which you can see here [link]

You've done a very good job with it but having looked back at the original I think she needs some more defined eyebrows

I guess since all the really professional sounding praise has been used prior to this point, then perhaps I should just go with something along the lines of ..... " dude!! this freakin rawks!!".

I can always tell which pieces are yours from the thumbnails. You have a particular way of composing them. You have a good eye for that... and for contrast. The shimerriness of this is really pretty. The iris and the highlights on it are my favorite part. I think the eyewhite part could be slightly less bright. Just a teeny-tiny bit.

nomadic [2002-11-11 15:22:26 +0000 UTC]

i think this came out real well . are you sure you didnt do a little editing!!! but i think the dark looks really especially since that is the point. you really need to calm down a little with the editing. i think your work is really good and im willing to bet its still good with out 999 hours of editing

zoanoid [2002-11-11 15:13:20 +0000 UTC]

very nice!
I like how it flows over to the black. heh don't worry about smoothening it out to much, just make sure you don't do it on the wrong places . Skintones simple are very soft.
I especially dig the eye.
I'm not sure about those highlights on her finger, it should be reversed (on top of them) and the strong highlight on the lip.
Overall good job, keep up the great work!
