Progress

Post by **Zerofactor** » Tue Aug 30, 2005 2:20 pm

Ok, I'm moving this into a seperate thread. At this very moment I am drawing from memory only, I spent 15 minutes alone on the eye and the eyebrow and am now working my way down the right side of the face. I'll post pictures of the progress I've made. Firstly, here's what I had when I first started.

Now here's what I have right at this very moment:

and learn how to draw. you've got an eye and an ear on there and they aren't even in proportion.

i seen that and last time i checked eye sockets dont look like <

just sped more time on it though, it just looks rushed

Proportions. The ear is way too small. It's easy to get caught up focusing in the area you're working on, but you have to pull back and look at the whole picture and look at the elements in relation to each other.

finish that book zero. that book promises to teach even people that can't draw how to produce decent results.

if you still can't come up with anything worth looking at after that, at least you'll know conclusively that you actually have anti-artistic skills. simply by marking a piece of paper you'll have transformed it from the mundane to 'not art'.

linky:

http://www.portrait-artist.org/face/index.html

Don't worry about finished product when starting portrait, create basic shapes then tighten into detail, do not start with detail and move around to different points of the peice. Work abstract at first with ovals and lines for proportion and general areas for eyes,nose, etc then start getting more detailed the more you put in..

clicky that linky

If you are using created guidelines your ear would be almost down to the mouth line from the eye line to near the mouth line..

Learn to properly shade you fucking amateur. Take a drawing class.

Post by **tnf** » Tue Aug 30, 2005 4:34 pm

eye appears a *bit* too close to the side of the head..not much. but tbh, it is an improvement from your previous stuff. and also, the top of the ear should be moved up a tad, and the ear lenghtened a bit.

and if you want to know if i am qualified to make such critiques - the answer is maybe.

Post by **duffman91** » Tue Aug 30, 2005 4:35 pm

The top of the ear is fine for that angle, its the bottom that's too short.
