Description Zomigawsh my first ever drawing/painting of a man! *le gasp*
I am really proud of this one, and it's all dedicated to *heise She is an amazing artist, and even though I have not spoken to her before, she has inspired me. Her paintings are quite famous, and just by looking at them I thought "Wow! I want to be like her when I'm older!"

So this picture acts as an experiment of the new style of my art ^_^ Hopefully you'll like it, because I put a lot of time and effort into it to make it look both realistic yet anime at the same time.

This is just the beginning of my new art. I am going back to my Zodiac ones to improve on them - but I'm only improving the ones I have not yet done digitally. I have also changed my style of eyes ^_^

I really didn't know what title to come up for this one, but the word Serpentine immediately came to mind. At least it isn't as uninventive as my other ones...

I have another signature! My mum wrote it out for me (but I did the one that you see now) and it's pronounced 'Lizzie' in chinese. ^_^ I really like it, so I'm going to be using it from now on xD

Tools used: Lineart - Pencil, Rubber, Fine Liner. Colouring - GIMP.
Time Taken: 45 minutes lineart, 2 - 3 hours colouring.
Reference: None! That's why I'm so happy xD

**Edit: Made the lines slightly transparent using the burn tool, so that it would look more 3D**
**Edit: Included a date on it of when I did it, and lowered the saturation**

First guy you have drawn? Fine work Liz He looks as a young muscular man, actuall reminds a little of my cousins son No, I don't send you a pic of him... Anyway this is so pale and liht that those thin lines does their job on this, otherwise you could shade more along the body lines. Keep on drawing guys as well

^^ My pleasure - But I think this has quite good shading after all, if you don't want to hide all of the lines

Menestria In reply to lizjowen [2009-08-01 11:00:52 +0000 UTC]

Yet it's really too pink.
Look at your skin, you're not pink.
Add brown, yellow, red and more blue shades if the light is blue.
