Amazing job, lovely!
Oh, Kita, you're just so sweet <3 I practice a lot, continually, all the time lol. I love drawing and working towards improving my craft. And thank you so much! I'm glad you think so.

that portrait of Gunnar is briliant *__* I love the way you've done the shading and highlights of his skin, it's done so well. also the look in his eyes. bless. he's lovely.

I can't wait to see more of your work
Oh, thank you, I'm really glad you think so. Getting the shading in the skin just the way I wanted it definitely took some time. But yes, I really enjoy seeing how people portray their characters too, especially when it's not exactly the same as their face claim. I did take a few creative liberties myself to make him a little more how I see him.

Oh yes, I meant to do this. And wow, to be worthy of size 7 text... thank you <3 I'm working on Noémi next; I know you can appreciate her beauty.

that portrait is gorgeous, you work with dry media so well!

side note: Gunnar looks so german, I love it
Oh thanks so much, Lauren. I really love working with dry media; it's my favorite, especially drawing pencils. I have to say that you inspired me to draw my characters after I saw you mention recently something about drawing characters...though I'm not sure if you have yourself? I know I've seen some of your digital drawings, which are quite lovely btw and you should have your own thread here.

Edit: I keep looking at it. I cannot believe this is colored pencil. I also have some Prismacolor pencils, but they're mostly for coloring in my adult coloring book. I can't believe this is not like, an oil painting, where the eyes follow you around the room?!?!?!?! Because they do?!?! There is so much life in this DRAWING!!!! I am amazed.
Ohhh this is just the nicest thing to say. I really hope they think so; I love my students.

I just love Prismacolors. They're so pigmented and smooth and lovely for blending and burnishing. And thank you so much. I'm really glad you enjoyed it.

Oh my gosh. MJ. This is stunning. <3 His eyes!! And the look on his face and just .eworjfl;kwemrf the softness. Holly very much agrees that he has pretty eyes to go with his soul. orsomethinglikethatcauseshe'sjusttellingmehe'soneo fherbestmalefriends He's lovely.
Aww thank you, Tori! Lol Holly pls, and yeah he does retain some of his softness here, I think... which he is reluctant to admit heh. His eyes are one place I used more my own interpretation...

Oh, me too... I love art so much and I truly enjoy looking at other people's artwork. And thank you so much! I did put a lot of effort into that detail and proper shading to achieve that effect so I'm glad you thought so ^^


Wow. Thank you all so much for the feedback. I really appreciate it. And I just started on another of my characters, though it will likely be a couple weeks before I get to finish and post it because I'm usually doing 300 things at once lol. Anyway, I hope you'll all stop back.
