Description
Okay, even though this shot is so very common, I had to do it because these half-shadow portraits are my fav type of drawing to do! This gave me some issues for awhile but I think I got around most of them. The original is not this dark, so I had to do a little image adjusting to get it the way I wanted. The lighter version just did not look as good as a scanned image, compared to the actual drawing, if that makes sense.Related content

Goodness gracious, I like this very much. An instant FAVE. I've seen this exact type of shot at the fair once. I was riding on the Enterprise and it was so amazing ! I had to do it because I love Star Trek and Spock. 
This is very well drawn, I'm impressed ! I really like how you bring out the contrast. Very dark and mysterious, but in a good way. Kudos to you !

Ahh, maybe I can answer that for you. I notice the ones that are half-shadowed tend to bring out the realness, and has a depth to it. It looks so surreal and mysterious in a way. It's a skill not a lot of people have, even if they are talented at drawing. But I definitely see it in your drawings. Just a study from all of your work. ^^

That probably has something to do with it. I remember in one of my drawing classes the teacher didnt even WANT us drawing faces unless we could find a picture with high contrast. He said otherwise it was near impossible to portray dimension. Well you cant get higher contrast than a half shadow face

Oh wow, really ? Well the only time I had art class was in second grade, so I don't really know what it is like. Yes, yes, stick with the half-shadow face portraits because you're so great at it.

I took art classes for 4 years in high school and you know what? I learned more from one of my drawing books

See ?! That is exactly why I didn't take art classes at all. I don't get to do what I want. And when I don't get to what I want, I get pissed. I learn how to draw by watching people draw or by studying their artwork. I'm glad you enjoyed your semester of drawing in college rather than in your high school years.
