Self portrait?

Postby Skye Selkie » Wed Jul 16, 2014 4:49 pm

well, this was going to go under sketches & experiments but I decided I'll post it here instead because it turned out to be neither. I guess you could call it a self portrait...
I kinda stuffed up one of the eyes but wth XD

If anyone wants to comment tips? please >u<

Tips? I would start simple, if I were you. Go and look at the most recent drawings in my gallery. Use them as a reference, if you want. Try a self portrait like that, then go on to the more complex stuff. I can't do much with a mouse, I'm better with pencil and paper, so that's why all my stuff is so simple. Just try it out. You did do good on this, heck I can't do details like that XD it'd end up looking like someone ran me over with a truck!

Other tips -
Use the pencil tool
Use layers
Use the smoothing slider (I like the 90% setting)
Try a sketch first (I normally go through about three before I finalize it)

I'm not that good, and someone better should be giving you advice, but I'm here, and my art has definitely improved, so I'm just trying to help you be the best you can be c:

I wish I could do full body figures, even with a pencil I can't!! XD

Well thank you c:
It takes a lot of practice. Look up female/male poses, and just freehand copy them into a sketchbook or something. Then start doing them on your own. It works. And fast too.
