Umm, the different screenshots of its progress are very interesting, I've wondered for quite a while how you do it so well.

Such detail and realism... I have always adored your art, and have gotten inspiration to work harder to achieve more realism in my own art.
One question though, do you use a grid when you make drawing like these?

[intriguing]

Wow. I really like this, the screenshots are good too, I never knew you used half the tools you did *runs off to try it*. This is another brilliant piece of realism and I like it very much

... O__O I love you.
You are my IDOL.♥

You sure this isn't a picture! It's flippin' awesome!

[Oofay]

h.o.p.e.: Thank you, hope!
Tiger at Heart: Haha! XD Better luck next time.
Jthmlover8: Oooh, lots of shocked faces. ;D Thanks so much!
mazel1999: Nah, not impossible, but for me at least it does actually take a lot of effort. XD Glad you like it!
iElectricRainbow_x3: Thanks so much! I don't think it's quite photograph quality, though. To me it looks more like it was done with colored pencils. Thanks you, iER!
Telescope: Annoying isn't it?? I try to correct it sometimes, but then I end up making the eyes too small. Thanks, Telescope! I agree, I think I've improved a lot since I first started drawing on here. Your gallery is gorgeous, by the way. I'm a fan of yours. :3
Sardonyx Rain: Wow, thank you!!
SplashofOrangeJuice: Thanks so much, Sooj. I always love your comments. :'D You kiddin' me? You're a brilliant artist! You've truly got as much or more talent than I do, girl.
Shy: Thank you so much, Shy!
~LoveLiveLife~: Hahaha! XD Thanks, LLL.
bluestar123: Glad you enjoyed them! I hope they helped dispel some of the mystery.
CK's Nightmare: Wow, that's a huge compliment CK, and unexpected because I'm actually a big admirer of your art. XD
I do occasionally use a grid for the initial sketch, just so I can be sure I got the eyes in the right place, and to help with head shape. I don't like to use it past that point though 'cause it gets in the way. More often though, I just use reference points on the actual picture, and draw mental lines to make sure everything's in it's place.
Magique: Thank you so much, Magique! If you want a random tip, one thing I've learned in the course of things, is to use the airbrush veeeerrryy sparingly on human portrait realisms. Pen and smudge are much more effective. For me and my technique, anyway.
*Y u k o n: Erp! In that case, I guess we're just gonna have to mutually idolize each other now. o.O <3
-Osprey-: Well, it is a picture...just not a photograph, teehee. Thanks, Osprey!

[Butterfur]

[jackbarakat]

[Prince of Awesome]

You and Ookami need to teach me how to draw so life like...
