First of three commissions to
(finally!)

I wouldn't post this one here, but who cares... it worked well although it ended up being too easy. I made more sketchy because there were few details so it would fit better this way.

*I love your work.
*Again, I see an outstanding rendering of art in the simplest and most direct form.
*However, you are nothing but simple. Your work is refined and well outlined.
*Human features are your specialty and every detail feels majestically real.
*You have a profound understanding of what it means to be and feel human.
*Your art speaks of those facial expressions that come alive so stunningly.
*YOU ARE MY KIND OF ARTIST!!!
*I TRULY ENJOY YOUR WORK!!!
*IT IS INSPIRING!!!
*BRAVO!!!

I really love all your pics, because they seem so reallistic!
But this one is one of the best (beside the christina aguilera one...) because of the really intense feeling it gives you!

Yeah...they're really hypnotizing.
Hell, your drawings are my favourite, I'm amazed with the result...it's impossible to me to reach such skill, and maybe not only for me...though I passed an art school.

Wow...like I said before, you've got some serious talent. I'm just drawing at home, and I'm not nearly at your level yet. How long have you been drawing?

Hm, it's been four years and three months right now. ^^ I could have done more drawings and got more practiced, but I am bit lazy, actually. (=

FlamingPhoenixRising In reply to Esteljf [2009-10-10 00:48:20 +0000 UTC]

Oh, wow...it's been about five years for me, actually, but I jumped from medium to medium, style to style, for so long, and I really didn't take it seriously until recently. Drawing was just something to do during class. So, I'll give myself about a year and a half's experience, lol. You're doing very well, though. ^_^

Esteljf In reply to FlamingPhoenixRising [2009-10-10 02:49:01 +0000 UTC]

I see. ^^ I can't say that I've changed my style so much. It's been kinda "realistic" since it got started, but it wasn't something calculated; I didn't even know that drawings could be that detailed and "alive" looking. I just wanted to make them as similar as possible to the original ref. My first attempt [link] is a crap! but it was a nice start anyway. Before this one, I NEVER thought I could draw, seriously. I tried very few times when I was at the school, but they were very childish and with no future. It's still surprising how I've developed and improved along these years. So, I think anyone can draw like that if it is exatcly what you want to. You just have to believe that you are able and free your mind.
On the other hand, many people don't like my "style" because they say "then I could take a b&w picture instead", but I don't mind anymore. It's the way I like to work and I am actually proud of myself. Sometimes I want to do something less detailed too, so I won't be stuck on one thing. Everyone needs to be satisfied and "worried" on their own, like me.

I've talked too much hehe but I hope you keep on drawing. I want to see your works here one day too. ^^

Aw! It is not crap!! ^_^ It really does look great. My first drawing was an anime-style cat person, lol. THAT was crap. It looked like a four-year-old did it.

Esteljf In reply to FlamingPhoenixRising [2009-10-13 16:07:07 +0000 UTC]

^^ Well, no matter how crappy we used to be at the beginning, what we are doing from now on is that really counts.

Oh..how I wish there'd be a piece of drawing that I found to be 'too easy'..lol.

Great job. The eyes are amazing.

Esteljf In reply to akaLilith [2009-07-20 23:25:55 +0000 UTC]

It was "easy" because there were few details to make and I did it fast too. But sometimes it is not a good sign, though.

Thank you very much!

akaLilith In reply to Esteljf [2009-07-21 07:01:11 +0000 UTC]

Of course it's a good sign. It means your skill has surpassed a simple image and that you're more than ready to do a more difficult stuff.

Thanks!
I don't remember exactly which materials I used, but I think there were normal pencils (2B to sketch it, 4B and 6B to darken) a blending tool, a bit of eraser and normal canson paper. Which technique? God, I have no clue... I just didn't shade it too much.

Você disse que tinha poucos detalhes no original, mas colocou vários detalhes complicados de perceber.
E é incrível como parece que você faz isso tão facilmente. xDD

ah, na verdade eu já pretendia fazer mais esboçado, por isso não deu trabalho e eu to meio acostumada a fazer a cara desse rapaz

MsRainmaker In reply to Esteljf [2009-04-18 18:05:03 +0000 UTC]

Éé.
Tipo os fiozinhos super finos na sobrancelha dele e aqueles detalhes chatos na boca. ><"
Se pretendia fazer esboçado mesmo, parabéns, você conseguiu.
Eu acho isso impossível quase. ><"
Porque eu continuo colocando detalhes e mais sombra e parece que nunca acaba, ai quando eu vou ver o que eu queria fazer só um idéia virou muito mais. ><"
Huaheuha. ^^

Esteljf In reply to MsRainmaker [2009-04-20 21:12:09 +0000 UTC]

nossa, eu sofria do mesmo problema que você. Tive várias crises porque queria que saisse menos detalhado, mas não conseguia me segurar. O desenho do coringa foi o primeiro que me livrei disso. Deve ter sido porque fiz sem intenção nenhuma, foi "brincando" mesmo. E esse aí também tentei seguir o esquema de "o que der deu" haha se não for assim a gente nunca fica satisfeita. sempre acha que colocou detalhe demais ou detalhe de menos.

Huaheuhe, é mesmo..
As vezes você se frustra por colocar detalhes de mais, ou de menos. ><"
Mas tem que ser assim mesmo, vai fazendo com paciência, mas o que der deu. xD
