Description Requested by . His OC, Cocoa! :3

I left the glasses out on purpose. They don't work for this drawing because there's massive emphasis on the eyes. Drawing eyes is one of my few strongpoints. So don't leave them out of your designs! I just took them out here for composition's sake.

6B pencil + 65 lb sketch paper. Coloured in Photoshop CS5 :3

Note me if you want your OC drawn like this (or better ;D) and we can discuss cheap commissions.

Thank you! I gather you're a friend of Cocoa's?

I drew him because, well, he's kinda my mentee, I think.

No, I'm not, but it's still a very good drawing.
I wish I could draw like this...

Gabes. Work. Don't wish. It's how I got to where I am today, and it's how I keep on going where I'd like to be in the future.

It isn't easy to get really good at drawing, and that's where your passion needs to come into play.

Thanks, I won't disapoint!

If I do start doing commishs, you'll get a discount

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

DeerHooves In reply to DeviantANG3L [2012-12-13 15:35:18 +0000 UTC]

Excellent!

How very nice of you! I never thought of discounts, and now that I have, I think I'll give all my friends on here discounts if thy ever decide to commish me, too xD

My suggestion, though, is that you start off with requests so that you get used to the idea of working with clients, and also so that you get a bit more practice in with drawing ponies. :3 You need a nice portfolio to show everybody what you can do, and in the case of dA, your portfolio is your gallery So build it up and get a fanbase going before you start commissions~

DeviantANG3L In reply to DeerHooves [2012-12-13 21:33:27 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I'm going to try to get a decent fanbase before I do real commish offers.
