Ahh I also wanna learn the cross-hatching style! xD It's interesting to look at it

Cross-hatching is not too tough! It's not so much crossed lines than it is just random patches of lines going in every direction. The darker the shading, the more lines in whichever direction there are. I admit that my crosshatching is VERY messy but just loosen up those wrists and sketch away

Hmm I see. More lines and it gets darker...
Thanks! But it looks so easy for you to do it, it's so clean

Aw thanks for your compliments :blushing: It's actually not too clean! Also, controlling the pressure of the pencil helps. I know it might all seem overwhelming at first but once your hand is familiar with making those quick strokes, it will come naturally to you! Good luck hon

Young Tom Waits? They all look a little bit like a celebrity I've seen, here or there. This guy also look like he could punch me in the face with emphasis.

he is the best, but I really only got into tom seriously about 2 years ago, when someone dumped an mp3 collection on me, against my will and at gunpoint, of course. He is brilliant and I am not allowed to play him anywhere near my girlfreind of 11 years, because she hates his voice. heh

I love the shading! The pencil strokes go in so many directions, it's a really lively style and makes the drawing more interesting.

thankyou! now that you mention that, you're right about it being a "lively style"~! i never thought of/saw it that way....

xiaocaca [2007-05-15 10:49:39 +0000 UTC]

He's....kind of hot.



Anyway. I love your style, built up of lines and hatches. And it's not easy to draw like that, either, or at least it isn't for me, so more kudos for you. The shades look a bit off, as you said, but they're alright. So nice work.

Fantastic cross hatching shading style - that's something I've never been very good at (getting shape/shades on the face).

ellastasia In reply to evogal [2007-05-15 02:04:39 +0000 UTC]

cross-hatching just kind of came naturally to me in fact my art teacher in freshman year of high school told me i cross hatched without even knowing it! basically i shade in one direction, then the other to get a darker shade, then keep repeating to get the desired shade--it's shading that's done in a jiffy!

Na dude. The first thing i was gonna say is i dig the shades... the way the bright white stands out as a reflection against the black. But the left lens need some sort of highlight while the right lens seems to have a strange shape.
Other than that.. its fantastic. Great shadows, proportion and hair.
