Description Hi there, here is the latest....I've drawn a few portraits of Justin in the past and as always my favorite part is his eyes, they're a pleasure to render. The hair was a bit hard to draw but I found by just drawing the shapes I saw it was a little easier. I like that the two images fit together nicely although the face and details on the smaller one aren't the best. Thanks for looking ~Linda

Great work I love the hair and eyes, and your shading techniques is down cold; however, it seems like the brow to the bridge of the nose as well as the jaw line look a bit to strong for his features.

Was this a commission? I love the eyes. I'm not sure how much I enjoy the smaller figure to the left. It somehow takes away from the main image. Fantastic work though, por suerte. I should only dream of being as good as you some day

Madam,
I really worship your work. I am a self learner and currently my human potraits look human. But there is only so much a guy can learn by himself. I want guidance from you if you have time to do so.. I guess there wouldn't be much time but please atleast visit my gallery and give me useful tips and critics..
I'll really appreciate your taking time to help me improve...

Nice shading and highlights! Love the details you have in the eyes and the facial hair
Little Justin doesn't look too bad, a couple things could be touched up maybe, but he looks fine.

Awesome as always Linda!

toxicblood [2006-02-24 20:24:28 +0000 UTC]

May I ask you, how do you get those details and darks while working on vellum bristol? I recently bought some vellum instead of smooth bristol and I really cannot work well with it. I find that I loose details and that my darks fade away. Is it just a matter of layering more pencil on and on through the whole process?
