Description this is as good as this picture will ever look. there's a whole face to it, but it sucks. I started painting a photo by *EvilxElf and just after I got done drawing the eye... WHAM. I forgot how to draw.

so there's more drawn down there, but I'll be damned if any of you will ever see it.

the girl's got enchanting eyes though, you should rummage through her gallery cause this piece of crap doesn't do her justice.

perfection!!

sometimes just the fact of ignoring the rest of what the image is supposed to be and focus on one object in the image is more captivating

teach me to draw pretty things

uhg... the eyebrow is way too fake in this picture, I was never really happy with any of it.

drawing pretty things is hard. pretty girls are even harder. you should ask *Artgerm how he does it.

Just thought you'd like to know even though you may not think this is a good painting, I think it's amazing. Adding to this feeling is that it is an exact look alike of someone I know, she loved it too.

it got down past the nose and decided it was an eye sore. I was reluctant to submit this much even.

Well this much is really, really good. Reminds me of the girl in Final Fantasy.

there have been a couple final fantasy movies and a bunch of games... you're going to have to specify what exactly you're talking about haha

Well hm you're right, but I've only watched one, I'm not talking about the games.. it was the story about some kind of souls the girl had to capture or something. It was a long, long time ago.

oh yeah, that was the spirits within. I suppose you're right, I can see the resemblance.

This is amazingly beautiful. On the thumbnail and normal view, I thought it was a photo. I had to see the full view to be able to see the brushstrokes. You did a fantastic job on this, I bet if you reworked the rest when you're not so frustrated, it would turn out just as beautiful. Sometimes you have to walk away from a project for a while when it's not turning out right. Anyway, great job on this, I love it.

If that's a painting, that's fuckign awesome. At least, the bit you've decided to show us is. At a glance I thought it was a photograph.

well that's very flattering, but there's lots of little mistakes in there

I agree. I would have been fooled if I hadn't full-viewed and seen the slight imperfections that give it a professional illustration look. It's good because you're so hard on yourself, but don't tear yourself down so much that you lose enthusiasm. That happened to me after I saw The Lion King on Broadway, but I'm better now.

I know, this is how I improve myself though. I have to find all the thigns I do wrong and not do them any more. I'm still optimistic for myself and my art, and occasionally I still like something I produce, but I need to rough myself up a bit for me to get better as an artist.

The rest of the painting may be bad, but this eye is quite striking indeed.

marzypan [2006-04-13 16:19:49 +0000 UTC]

ooo, you did the eye really good! So now you gotta combine the nose of the other painting with this and then make a really nice pair of lips and ta-da you have a perfect amazing painting that everyone will have a jaw-dropping reaction to. I feel like you're improving, I like these feminine faces you're painting, you should continue; makes good practise too.

Oh and I also like how you did the freckles.

oh god no... if you could see the nose and the mouth "perfect" would be the last word coming from you. it's fantastic how if you don't like a part of your drawing, you can simply cut it out and call it good.

that, my good friend, is not perfection.
