Very very good work!! What is even more impressive is to think at the level you could reach if you draw more often. Those drawings are already great,and it's sure you could become even more talented with more experience. Keep it up!
Thanks very much! What I like about them is that, now that you can see the ordered chronologically, you can spot some sort of an "evolution" of my technique, you see the difference in shadows and stuff like that. My next objective is to start drawing actual portraits, but somehow I feel shy about it and can't find the "courage" to attempt at doing it. I know that someday I will try it, but for me drawing isn't that easy, not on technical part but on motivation.
Yep, I know that motivation problem. In fact I was quite good at drawing (at least people said so ) but I almost never have the motivation to do it...It's because I'm way too lazy though, not because I feel shy or something like that. What do you mean by shy?
I mean shy in terms of confidence, I'm not very confident with portraits as I haven't tried it often. One thing is doing these cool pieces of artwork which are pretty two dimensional despite having some depth in them.. But real people is different and facial features aren't my forte just yet (that's the advantage on AC artwork their eyes are covered), I'm still trying to figure out how to draw lips on a man without looking too feminine, so that's why I'm not that confident xD
Aah ok, I see. Well, I could avdice you to look at some portraits done by other talented people, to see how they manage to draw real faces, and how they work with details as lips or shades. Not to reproduce their exact style, but it can help to developp your proper technique But maybe you've already done that ahah
To be honest I hadn't tried that. I have looked at some portraits before but without looking at specific features. It doesn't sound like a bad idea at all . I actually have two particular pictures in mind that I want to draw, it's just a matter of when will I finally try them. Still need that mental boost.
