Stormie, a beautiful drawing as usual Ditto on the scar I love how you handled it. Every time I look at your work I see a little more improvement every time. Great job!

Jace, your cross hatching is so unique, I know what you mean I despise using it, because it's a pain. But, I think you really stuck it to your teacher for making you do this, and I dare to guess that you have a more original style of hatching then anyone in your class. I'm also realizing your real name is Emily. Damn you! LOL j/k Well now I've been calling you Jace so long that I cannot stop, so there lol

Shapeless, Black and white photo's have always been my favorite over color. Skies are also dreamy this way. Great pics!

Rox, I love your hair color! I tried to dye my hair blue black when I was 17-18, But It didn't work because I don't have good hair like you If you got the curl up one day, and the Janis Joplin frizz look the next, it don't look so good in black hehehe.

Thanks a lot! I've finished my little hair tutorial, ad I'll scan it later today.

Stormo: good job!! Who is the girl, do you know her?

Amy: also: GREAT job! Nice work with the lines, it's a very challenging technique and you did well!

Shapeless: nice grey gloomy skies

Thanks! Like I said:

Commander Shepard, my Mass Effect character.

I built her myself. The screenshot I based it on:

Mass Effect allows you to build your own character from scratch, kinda like Oblivion. It takes a lot of fiddling with sliders to get it right.










My next one will be Ashley Williams. Because, as one intrepid Anonymous put it, "Ashley puts the ass in Mass Effect."

 

[Shapeless)))]

Thnx everyone.

Worked on the values of Cmdr. Shepard a bit.

Which one is best?











Also, Morganna, because you asked...

It looks sucky because it's all done by hand, but my skills aren't high enough to warrant making a full-blown glossy tutorial over.

 

[[KOTNO]Narrot]

Went out and took some photos.

absolutely perfect ...

The first one, I think. It has more value contrast like the image it's based off.

Lol, you can call me Jace, Emily, Em, etc. I answer to 'em all.

Our current project is taking two grayscale photos of people with strong side-light and converting everything to black and white by hand using india ink.

Mine's Clint Eastwood and John Wayne. But I completely messed up Wayne's right side. I just bought some white india ink to mask it... I hope it works.

Gotcha, thanks!

I think you should do this excercise that I did in one of my art classes back in the day.
what you'll do is turn one of the pics black and white... Print it. Cut it in half, Glue onehalf to a piece of paper. use the other only as a referance then try to complete the drawing. It really helps with values, Shading... etc.

Hmm, that sounds interesting. I might give it a go when I'm less pressed for time. Thanks!

 

[Lordlucid]

Its awesome, try it.

Illustration - Project 2. All hand done.

 

[derek]

Hey, that worked! Wayne especially has a very peculiar face and you captured it expertly!

 

[Jace_Mereel]

Thanks Derek. The india was worthless. I had to use gesso instead.

 

[El Stormo]

Yep excellent job on the similarities!

 

[derek]

Emily, what sorta thing do you want to do when you're finished with school?

I'm just curious.

 

[Jace_Mereel]

Ideally, I'd like to work for a company like ILM or Lucasfilm doing concept art/character designs/etc.
Realistically, if dream job doesn't work, I'd like to make graphics/logos and such for fun business or work with toy companies in toy designs.

 

[Calamitas1786]

WOOOO TOYS!!

 

[Jace_Mereel]

I'll design a new ArchAngel bust and make it look like Chris! Buahaha.
