The amount of detail in this is absurd. From a distance it looks photorealistic, and she's pretty cute on top of that. Bottom lip looks a tad big and the eyebrows are a tiny bit too heavy but this is crazy talent.
I've been wanting to draw really badly, even though I have a lot of other work ahead of me, I want to better my style and use some advantages of drawing digital more, and actually learn how to use my tablet. I now finally feel like I'm learning how to use layers and getting down to detailing areas.
So for this, I found a picture of this girl on chive, and wanted to try to sketch more naturally and blend it after. It works insanely well for me... like, holy shit, I lost track of time, but I'm so happy. I think from now on I'm gonna go this route with my work.
Gray scale study sketched with a broad brush, fixed levels & proportions, then smudged/blended and redrew the rough areas. Total around 9 hours
I might color it, but I gotta figure out a better way to do it than how I normally do, my method takes way too long... If you know a way to do it, please tell me!

Wonderful, I can see practice makes perfect. Wonderful work on getting that shading down, makes for great textures and shadows on the face and hair.
Thanks man! I've been trying to figure some different techniques, and I'm now in love with this way! I have to make texture bump maps for some school work, and wanted to try the method to draw something. I'll try to mix this way and also with more of a rough style, but I now finally feel more comfortable with my tablet!
Yay.new art from u after so long....
u seem to have improved in realism.*thumbs up*
i love how u did her hair...very free flowing
also i like the shadow of her hair on her face...:)
i wouldn't know what u should work on cause i dont know how the reference pic looks like.anyway good job.
Haha, yeah thanks! I'm getting past that disconnect I've had, it's now getting easier to draw where I'm not looking. I'm super happy with the hair too! I didn't know that you can smudge just highlights or darker colors in Ps until now... so much nicer.
