Hi!)
Your arts are amazing and I just wanna ask, would you like to join our project? We're going to make presents for SPN-cast (Misha, Jensen, Jared and Osric) and we need good artist and beautiful arts. You can find all information in our tumblr: team-jib-gifts.tumblr.com/
So maybe you want to draw something for Jensen's or Osric's book or maybe we could use some of your already finished arts? Or maybe you could help to make a gift for Jared? Or recommend any artist who could join us?

Please, even if you're not intrested in this idea, help us to spread the word! Reblog this post (if you have a tumblr) team-jib-gifts.tumblr.com/post… and retweet this (if you have a twitter) twitter.com/dream__castle/stat…

And thank you anyway!)

Hi! I was looking at some of your work, and you are so talented it's ridiculous. Lately I've been trying out people more, because I love doing realism even though I'm not so great at it. Are there any tips you could give me to make my portraits look better? Thanks. <3Β

Thank you, you are sweet to say so <3Β 

Proportions are the most important thing, If you get those right you are halfway there. I use the grid system to position the features, working from a same size reference is also helpful.Β 

As an exersize try to look at a reference picture, not as a face but as a collection of shadows, light, medium and dark areas, as you draw the shadows, you will find the features that are eyes and mouth etc. grow from those shapes. Hope that makes sense? it is a good exersize to try if you are trying to improve your skills.Β

ok so ur really really good.
proportions are spot on, likeness, spot on.

i want to encourage you to really push the quality of the hair and the skin tone.

try to grab the transition between light and dark areas even though there is contrast. the majority of the time, there shouldn't be a part of the paper, pencil hasn't touched. a persons face is never entirely pure white. (unless its extreme contrast of light across the face)
took me years to figure that out.

go ahead and draw absolutely everything you see on the reference, i guess spend that little bit more time to get everything u can. every mark is a mark closer to perfection.

i dunno if its something you want to achieve but thats how u take this thing to the next level. ur too good not to move forward in this way.

great work

peace

Hi, Thanks for your comments, I really appreciate your feedback on my work. You can probably see from some of the earlier pieces and the works in my scrapbook that I used to shade everything, fill in every detail, shade every inch of the page. As my style has developed I have found that I really like drawing in heavy contrast. I like my black and white photography the same way at the moment. I may go back to complete shading some day and yes in reality the original reference photographs that I work from(before I edit them) don't contain much white at all. But the style I go for at the moment is a hybrid of photo-realism and Caricature. So absolute accuracy is not essential for me personally as far as shading is concerned, its more about capturing the essence of the features of the person I am drawing. Thanks again for your kind words about my work.
Many thanks
