It has a different look and feel to it which I really like, my only critique in my opinion are her freckles are a little over done on closer inspection. Still well done.

Ok, ok. It just looks to perfect in some places. You must be a very accomplished artist though.

Nice job. I think some strokes are too strong and dull, but it's very, very nice.

you mentioned you used gridding, can you tell me how you removed the grid lines w/o damaging the pic? I use gridding a lot and I usually just leave them in cuz if I tried to erase them, I'd end up erasing parts of my drawing T_T

danmcd13 In reply to b00m13 [2008-12-30 23:57:20 +0000 UTC]

I grid with a 4H pencil and press very lightly. If it's a white area, I erase the lines with a gum eraser. The key is to press lightly. With a 4H pencil being so hard, lines will be difficult to remove if pressed too hard. Going over a line more than once with a light touch is always a better alternative.

Great job!

really nice! looks like a photo at first, but at second glance you realize it's a drawing. The clouds, hair, even eyes seem to almost move, while at the same time containing the drawing quality that's not quite real. awesome!
