Posted October 13, 2014 I have to say I realy envy your hands as well as your symmetry! I can never draw humans or faces with both eyes, my symmetry is horrendous....q.q.... You make me envious, you have so much skill! Ohhh thank you so much!! <333 That makes me really happy to hear, you flatter me! ; v ; I'm sure you're wonderful at drawing as well. <3 Thank you for taking a look at my thread!

Also it might help to take a break and draw something completely pit of your comfort zone for fun. also you wear glasses nerd Ohhh cries thank you!! <33 Yeah, they're really fun; they take up a lot of time, though! Ohh maybe! c: That's actually what I might do--I want to practise more and more! I'm currently kinda confused though since I'm not sure to work on things realistically or with a more cartoonish appearance or go back to drawing digitally--I'll figure something out. But I'll try that, thank you! <33 punches you wow thanks naw i'm jk. yeah i do!!! : ^ ) my eyesight is horrible bye and hoW DID YOU KNOW THAT WAS ME Share this post Link to post
Posted October 14, 2014 Are your art classes part of your school classes, or do you do them extracurricularly? Your improvement has always been impressive, but after you started saying that you were taking lessons, you jumped into a rocket! Well, why not have a mix of the styles that suits you? Your more anime-style works were great, but the realistic portrait was neat as well. Consider which you preferred, and decide using that. Although, there's really no need to decide. Oftentimes, style develops as you practice! Share this post Link to post
Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) I totally agree with Koala! Having more styles means more fun! It also helps to keep it interesting and your passion for drawing. I lost mine....I wish I could get it back... Edited October 14, 2014 by ElementalMistressLuna Share this post Link to post
Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) Why not do all and see which style fits you? Ohh, good idea! I might actually; that way, I can experiment a lot more! ^^ Are your art classes part of your school classes, or do you do them extracurricularly?

I adore the teacher that teaches arts and she's also my teacher for journalism and broadcasting, so I always have fun in her class I adore her! Ohh thank you so much!! <33 It makes me so happy to hear that like omg you're so nice you flatter me Ohh, good idea! I might actually try that; who knows, I could learn from both and combine them into something! You're absolutely correct. c: Thank you!! Yes, that's true. I'll find my style someday. <3 I totally agree with Koala! Having more styles means more fun! It also helps to keep it interesting and your passion for drawing. I lost mine....I wish I could get it back... Ohh yesyes, exactly! c: Trying out different styles is really fun, yes. ^^ Aw I'm so sorry to hear that! :c //hugs// I hope only the best for you!! Who knows, maybe your passion will come back! Inspiration works in mysterious ways. ^^ And to end things off, have a WIP! c: I'm still working on the mouth--it's looks so blegh to me right now, but overall I like how things are going so far with it!

Posted October 15, 2014 Haha! Perhaps! If I watch your progress you might inspire me to get back into drawing, myself! Ohhh then I would be honoured if such a thing happened!! <33 Thank you so much for viewing my thread ( and speedy reply, too I was editing my WIP into the response earlier! ). I really hope you can get back to drawing too!! Do you have an arts thread? Share this post Link to post
Posted October 15, 2014 Not yet, been kinda shy to start one....if I can become active in drawing I will. Share this post Link to post
Posted October 15, 2014 Not yet, been kinda shy to start one....if I can become active in drawing I will. You should!! My arts thread has helped a lot--both in reminding me to draw and giving me inspiration. Plus, everyone here is so nice it's wonderful! <3 I wish you the best! ^^ I'm sure your art is lovely!

Posted October 15, 2014 I may draw dragons, equine creatures, and work on feathered wings. I can show you something I did in a link. Share this post Link to post
Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) The face is really well done, Lunevis! I really like how you have different darknesses that indicate how the face would be shaded, and your lines are very solid- they seem to be right where you want them. I'd darken the face's edge more, though, since the outline is pretty important, and as it is, it's pretty faint. Also, though I'm not sure this is something you can fix without a huge hassle, some of her eyelashes go into her eye/are stroked downwards even though the majority to up. From the faint (Erased?) outlines I can see on the mouth, I think the problem is that the bottom is too thick. Try lightly sketching an oval around it, then a thinner oval inside it that could bear resemblance to the hole in the mouth. Then, you can use the space in between as lips and shape them out! Also, lovely, lovely eyes. They're both shaped correctly and proportionate to each other as well as staring at the same place with a very well-done expression. They're very detailed, too, which is impressive because paper and pencil has no zoom-in function. Say, how do you do your eyes? I've always struggled with them, and am really curious to your techniques. Goos job, can't wait for more! Edited October 15, 2014 by KoalaNoob Share this post Link to post

I've always struggled with them, and am really curious to your techniques. Goos job, can't wait for more! Ohh thank you so much! <33 I'm glad to hear that. ^^ I'm still learning about shading so it's good to hear it's going along nicely! Ohh thank you! c: Yeah, it's really light for now since I haven't finalized the face just yet, but I'll definitely try to bring out more contrast with my lines. ^^ Ohh, thank you for noticing that! Yeah, the model I'm working with has really thick eyelashes and I have messed up on a bit |D I'll darken the eyeliner a little more so it'll be less visible, thank you! Ohh, thank you! <33 I'll try that out Ohh thank you so much!! <33 I love eyes tbh they're so fun to draw I used to think I was horrible at eyes but then I was like o wait and then I realised they were okay--but now mouths are my natural enemy. Or namely, lips. Ohh thank you so much <33 I'm so glad to hear that!! As said before, I used to always struggle with eyes and it's lovely to hear they're okay. Oh, my technique? Hmm, let me think . . . I'm not too clear on how I draw eyes, but one thing I do is use my pencil as measure. Say, lay the pencil across your reference image or across the paper how long you want the eye to be and then how wide, and make reference points you can look at later while drawing. As well, something my art teacher taught me was to look at it as more of an object than an eye--just draw what you see in your reference or what you know an actual human eye looks like, and if you get stuck on something try looking at it in a different, more abstract way! I find that really helps--one thing I do with the pupil and iris is I imagine the sclera to be a white blob instead of the whites of the eye and just start drawing the eye shape and ball around it. Good luck, though! ^^ I'm sure your eyes are lovely--it just takes practise! Ohh thank you I cry you're so nice <33 I'll see if I can get it finished soon! ^^ I've really been in a drawing mood lately, so I'll be making lots of art! c: Share this post Link to post
Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) Sent you a Pm~ Lovely work btw! I got it! c: Let me reply! Ohh thank you so much <33 Edited October 15, 2014 by Lady_Lunevis Share this post Link to post
Posted October 15, 2014 More WIP. c: I'm hoping to get it done and finalized by tonight--I just have to shade some of the face and the lower body, and maybe add in some background for effect! Share this post Link to post
Posted October 15, 2014 Oh wow that's got to be your best one yet! The eyes, the hair, that mouth! Though may I just say, shade the eyes too, or more so of you already have. The sclera may be called the 'white', but it doesn't look that white a lot of the time! Share this post Link to post

Sat down today and was like ok I'm going to stop being lazy and work my brains out on this. Ohh thank you!! <33 I added extra shading to the eyes, but my camera is being a butt and I don't think it picked up on it too much :C Still, here's the finished version! Not that different from the original, but I'm glad to have it done. ^^ Next, I'm going to take a break from realism and instead draw some anime doodles. c: Share this post Link to post
Posted October 19, 2014 Another WIP! i'm crying ignore the hand i'm getting to that it's beautiful i know shhh The hair is giving me a headache bye Share this post Link to post
Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) Ah, sorry, I haven't checked here in a bit. It seems I've missed wine of your lovely sketches! ^^; The first has nice hair, once again. Everything you usually do well applies, and I really have nothing much to say about it, other than great work! The lips are a bit strange, though. It's lighted in a way that makes me wonder if the highlights of the top lip are teeth, which I assume they're not. The second has great shading and expression, but the hair is a bit less good than what yo usually do. Also, the entire face seems twisted? It looks very off, though I do realize this is a WIP. Great work! Are we going to see more colour anytime soon? Edited October 19, 2014 by KoalaNoob Share this post Link to post

Not that different from the original, but I'm glad to have it done. ^^ Next, I'm going to take a break from realism and instead draw some anime doodles. c: Holy WUT? I can't do that! I can't do aaanything like that! That face is amazing! Beautiful! I can't do anything "realism" so I stand here with no critique since I can't even draw a decent realistic jaw. As for the more recent WIP, it's looking great so far! Keep at it! And don't worry yourself over the hands; they are nightmares for a lot of artists (of what I've seen/heard all over the internet and IRL), myself included. Also, if may I ask, how "well-off" do you find yourself posting your drawings here in the forums? (If that made sense. I'm sooo sorry if that was a poor choice of words @~@') How do you feel? I've considered making my own art thread, (if you could even call it art lol) but I'm just not sure yet. And, sorry if this is an odd question...yeah... Can't wait to see more work! ^.^/ Edited October 21, 2014 by Kira-san Share this post Link to post
