quick sketch of...

[pimpinpost]

an eye. exciting. im not very good at drawing realistically. the quality is way reduced because the scanner sux and i didnt feel like messing w/ contrast and stuff. so tell me what you think.

the eye lashes dont make sense, they have to move up a curve, there is also not enough detail on the outside of the eye, but its ok. just ok.

Its a nice use of pencil and i cant fault the eye on anything in particular, yet the concept is dull. It would be much better looking at if the eye was attached to a face.

my advice is to keep drawing eyes, they are the most important part of drawing portraits.

not necessarily, the most important part of the face is capturing the image of the person, and say the most definable part of the face is, say, the nose, than the nose is the more important part.

Hows that cheating?

[PlutoCow]

Because he didn't use a blending stick. But I don't think it's cheating. I have to use my finger most of the time because people "borrow" my blender and don't put it back. Stupid public schools and their lack of locks. And proper supplies.

i think of blenders and using your fingers to shade as shortcuts, for quick shading. a blended image also doesnt look as good as a thoroughly shaded image. i also think that most of those supplies are just bullshit, i mean you shouldnt have to buy $100 worth of materials to be a good artist. for my sketches, all i use is a good old #2 and some paper, and for my paintings i use cheap, basic color, Acrylic paints and a few brushes.

I still disagree. I think that you can use blenders and your fingers to an extent, though you should add texture over it, because an image that was simply blended doesn't look quite right. However, I do agree about the materials. I use $6 (per pack) watercolors, and I don't even know how cheap my acrylics are.

[Keol]

i agree with unbree; you dont have to have tons of art supplies to be a good artist, or a bunch of claymation supplies to be Knox, etc
