The only thing that stands out for me is that your outlining seems to be a little too strong. Really nice work with the crosshatching though! And the subject is definately easy on the eyes.

happypencil [2004-12-07 02:53:34 +0000 UTC]

Very beautiful job! You must be an expert at crosshatching, it appears that you did the whole piece that way, right? What pencils did you use, and would you mind a brief explanation on how you crosshatch value? I think I'm too dependent on my blending tools.

Ari3n In reply to happypencil [2004-12-07 15:51:32 +0000 UTC]

Materials: HB mechanical pencils which is available at most stores and typical A4 printing paper.

i just discovered how to do crosshatching like 5 months ago so it might not be good to consult me about it but here is how i do it:

it's fairly hard to explain how I do crosshatching. I learnt it myself from experimenting. basically you visualize (i love that word ) the actual volume of the object and you make faint crosses (as if shading) along the surface, with the directions of the lines adjusted to match the veritcal and horizontal values of the object. yes i know, it told u its hard to explain.

thx for the comment much appreciated

Axelle-Black [2004-12-07 02:23:57 +0000 UTC]

wow this is awesome! What struck me first is how real it seems... how the shading is rather accurate, and how precise the whole drawing is. I really don't know what I could critique.. it's so perfect! Great job with this, pro-style!

Your pencil work is absolutely top-notch.

For some reason, something in me says that her torso is a bit too long, or her arm is a bit too short, or a combination of both. I couldn't say this is true, since I don't have the reference material you used to compare, but is just seems off.

Other than anatomical proportions, wow.
