I like it, but could I give you one friendly critique?

If you're going to do spot color anyhow for the yellow banner, I'd throw a splash of it somewhere else lower down in the poster for contrast/framing/fun.

I think if you give it a try, you might like it.

Just like me and crystal meth.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm still learning about these things. And you're the second person to tell me that. ;D

i was going to say good job but after reading the thread about 6 things guys do that turn girls off i'm just going to say meh.

I see what you have done there.

sorry i was distracted by your less attractive friend.

Those are good eyes.  Can you draw hands?  Hands are fricken hard to draw, I think.

Yes, they are. Yes I can.



Usually, I just draw my own hand :D I have another, more recent sketch that I did as an idea for one of my classes. Basically, it's the same pose, but with more value/shading and a keyhole instead of a flower.

Also, thank you. ^_______^

Awesome.

I love the eyes.
The hand seems nice too, but its harder to tell in that pic because the detail get a little lost beside the heavy outline. Would be better in person or as a professionally lit pic, I think.

The lighting doesnt harm that one at all...

Wish I could draw like that. Or at least, that I had the patience to practice enough to draw like that :P

Also: I dont think it would be fair on the rest of us to be able to draw like that and be a professional grade photographer.

Who said anything about fair? Besides, all of the lights in my house are highly yellow. I just threw the pic in Photoshop and half-assed an adjustment on it. I really really really hate the lights in my house >_<

Also, it took me ~1 hour to draw that. :P Ok, so one or two years ago, it'd take like two hours. When you know what you're doing it doesn't take that long.

Hey, I recognize that piercing!  :)

Bridge of nose looks wider than I remember, though.

I expect to pass through this world but once;
any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now;
let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.

The original is in the "what we all look like thread." here

I still have to work on proportions. I suck at proportions. Mostly because I don't use a ruler. I should probably use a ruler.



Actually, now that I'm looking at it, it seems more like a shading problem than a proportion problem - my eyes aren't too far apart, and the nose bridge isn't too wide, I just didn't shade that area well enough. This could be the half bottle of wine talking, though.

I'll keep that in mind - I'm sure we'll be drawing hair in my portrait drawing class any day now. We're doing noses this week.

It's pretty self-explanatory.
