I didnt put a whole lot of texture into it though.
Tell me what you think, please

Creepily realistic! It is really well done, you must have put a lot of effort into this. It payed off ^-^.

Thank you! I put a good 8 hours as I remember, into it. I could do the same in a much shorter time now. It has been a while since I made a nice drawing on something other than sketchbook paper. Easier to get dark lines on something other than the sketchbook. The hard surface is easier to draw on than the padded one. xD

I found that it doesn't take me as long to do pictures anymore, either. I agree, i usually just use computer paper, even though i have a jazillion half filled sketch books all over the place .

:3 I use my sketchbook for doodles, and strathmore 300 series bristol for other, more finished things. I never use printer paper for some reason.

It's really cool. Nice work!
But, as someone already pointed out, the distance between the nose and the mouth is way too long. xD
This guy must have looked awesome when alive...

I wish I could draw stuff like this. D:

Manechen In reply to Dragonletters [2010-05-22 14:49:33 +0000 UTC]

I tried to distort it a little for the "grotesque" look but that failed. lol
you can draw like this too ya know, just spend time on it.
That wasn't a quick little sketch XD
Thanks

Totally Awesome great job on details and value scale, now work on a background for s fully rendered image lol just kidding, it looks great either way

Manechen In reply to Hasani77 [2010-05-22 05:46:12 +0000 UTC]

I was thinking about a background but I thought that the way it was posed, that it would be better not to on this one
My 6B broke doing this one XD that was one of my favorites, rest in peace yadda yadda
art store to the rescue!

I like it. You put a lot of texture on the teeth which I think is the best part of the drawing. It is very good for a shot (first? or so?) at realism. keep it up!

Manechen In reply to Ryeker [2010-05-22 04:28:41 +0000 UTC]

thanks
I haven't done realism this extensive before, so yeah it is sorta a first shot
there was once in a 7th grade art class but it sucked
