Description after I made the drawing "Shiny Halo" using one of the photos from =MissHeroin 's gallery, I wanted to draw another one but using her own photo!
She got such beautiful big eyes which I hope I captured them good! And I'm happy with the hair!
Of course the beautiful talented model is [link]
Umm I don't know what to say else …

Hope you'll like it

How do you achieve such gentle shading?

Hi Guy!
I use tissue to blend the dark areas (2B or 6B pencils), you know the smoother pencils. As soon as you blend it with the tissue you will see the difference that had made, so add more dark pencil on the same space and blend more, the shading will appear …
tissues gives you easier way to blend and also gives you smoother look, for the corners (small details) I use the rolled papers they also blend the pencils for you in easy and clean way!

Ummm you see my English is not that good, but I found for you tutorials that may can help you find what you looking for, it's detailed explanation and the artist is super good! [link]

I hope I helped you enough

ok! i will XD that was sweet of u! what do u mean by try different styles so you can capture more details?

BrokenViolet In reply to potatoesryummy [2009-07-02 12:32:14 +0000 UTC]

ummm well, I see you draw mostly eyes, try to draw something different, just to let your hand control more on drawing, try to draw flowers, cups, so you can also to know how to deal with shading and stuff, that's what we do at school, draw a lot of stuff in different styles and different point of shading!
also if you like to draw portraits as much as I like them (I looove to draw portraits!!), try to draw from pictures more, as a beginning, so you know how to capture the expression, with time you will see that you can draw faces without references! that what I did and still do and practice!
