Description
this is hyde, form the j-rock band l'arc en ciel. im drawing this as part of the prize for tsuki-no-neko, the winner of my contest. its actually a pretty big project, and hyde is only one of two portraits, the other one being of gackt<3 its hard to explain
here's the photo its being drawn from: [link] and heres the other picture im doing of gackt for it: [link]
unless one of you has a better suggestion for the gackt picture. anything that would go with the hyde picture works for me
im pretty set on the hyde pic though
anyway, just thought id show y'all what im up to

I have a question about the papaer, what sort do u use for this one?? the paper I have smears the pretty much of the graphites all over the paper.. I try to have apiece of paper under my hand while drawing but it smears anyway..

i use bristol board, aka bristol smooth paper. u can buy it in a pad or single sheets. theres a trick to not smudging with your hand, cuz i used to have that problem too. i slowly trained myself to hold my hand so it wasnt resting on heavily penciled areas, but in the meantime, try using a sheet from a magazine. the lead doesnt stick very well to that slick paper, so less smudging! whereas regular paper can acually make it worse!

thanx! i do use humongous blenders sometimes, lol! a lot of times if its a large area, just using nice soft even strokes with your pencil looks better. im not sure if theyre monolith or not, i dont remember *makes mental note to check*

How long did you spend to
do this piece? I nomally
finish a complete drawing in
three days with 24 hours
work.
π: 0 β©: 1
well, wit 24 hours of work, i could probably finish it that day. but i can only work a few hours at a time, cuz my eyes are getting bad, kinda need glasses, lol. that and, after too long, i just cant really 'see' the drawing anymore if you know what i mean.

omfg, sooo nice! your sketches always ALWAYS amazes me soo much! They have this incredible similarity with their reference pictures all the time! Your toning is just too amazing, and I love how you could really see the facial muscles. Your realism is excellent, keep up the great work!

Almost without exception, my favorite stuff on DA these days is titled "work in progress"... There's something indescribably beautiful about something as well drawn as this, taken just to the edge of completion and then held there... I can't explain it; but I love this drawing very much, and find it complete in every way.

Excellent job. it looks so lifelike. so realistic.

dude thats wicked awesome, and i concur with what my sister (darkcandle) said. it's amazing, and i also can't wait to see the gackt picture...it looks like it would be quite fun/interesting to draw. great work!

you continually amaze me! *sigh* and I must say, you are much more organized with the way you work out a piece than I am! lol... I have to jump around so much. Anyways, I love the detail in the eyebrows and lips. Lovely work!

thank you! usually by the time i get to the hair, i get very annoyed and jump around too, lol.

It looks great! The detail and shading is fantastic. It looks perfect as it is even if you did do the hair, which if you do, I'd still like to see
π: 0 β©: 0
you are lovely! i have question, and please reply via note or something....how do you get the shading so it looks real? I have drawn hyde before and it looked real good on paper, but once scanned... well you know....

I have only one word... 'KYAAA!!!' (screamed in rabid fangirl mode, though i'm not actually a l'arc en ciel fan)

Such an amazing portrait...great work!!

This is great, the touch, the tones, you captured the skin tones very well. Although you will provide sufficient hair to cover those ears, otherwise I think they are a bit too dark.
I do have much better pictures for the Gackt-drawing, Would you like to have a look at them?
π: 0 β©: 0
amazing portrait, your excellent at capturing the light and skin tones.

Very good, but remember that smudging takes away some of the detail...

thanx! not blending also distracts from the details sometimes. i mean, look at * nimra 's works, he blends, and there is no lost detail there
