Description
This is a much younger looking version of Asami, and I'm much happier with it, but it scanned really weird. *shrugs*Since I now know she's happy with it. Happy Late Birthday *Ameyama Hehe. I'm so glad you like him!!
Asami Ryuichi from the Viewfinder Series.

Oh my gosh thank you! I drew this so long ago...I couldn't even figure out what drawing this was, haha, I had to look. "What? When did I draw him...Oh, I did!" OTL

I like his stern expression, his eyes are piercing! And his hair and nose are great, too.

Thanks! He's a really intense character, so I tried to get some of that to come across. (And that hair...eeep, it was challenging)

Gorgeous.
The only thing that feels off is his nostril; the rest is... perfect.

I changed his nose again. Currently noses are one of my banes, grrrr! They never turn out quite right.

If you ever want to know how I achieved a particular effect, or about my technique, I'm very happy to share.

Okay, how do you make everything so realistic? Its awesome!

Hehe, well that's a really, really long explanation. Did you have a more specific question? I'm not very good with Tutorials, but I did post some on how I go about shading eyes in my scraps. I'd be happy to go over things in slightly smaller bits and pieces with you. *grin*
π: 0 β©: 1
Okay! Could you possibly show me how you did the eyes, then? Cause the are amazing.

Did you find this? [link]
That's my kinda cruddy looking tutorial. I've added more since then, refining my style. Hmmm, maybe I'll add another page...good idea!

Awesome ! Like i being hit by a car !!
You did awesome works , dude :"D

Aaahhh, I really love this character. I want to try and draw more of him, but he's kinda hard to capture. Such an intense personality.
π: 0 β©: 1
I really LOVE how you made his hair in this
π: 0 β©: 1
This hair is soooo hard!! Hehe. It's much easier doing Fei Longs long slithery locks than Asami's.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, but it still looks lovely <3
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks!

Isn't he though. Mmmmm, Asami. *grin*

Don't you mean *I'm grinning in such a way that says that I wanna rip off your clothes and ravish you*?
π: 0 β©: 1
Didn't you notice, I'd already ripped his clothes off. *Fearsome Grin* Heeeee!

I know what a scanner can do to a picture (even though I would love to have one again once the house renovation and my moving are done). I don't know who this is, but I like how you drew his hair.
π: 0 β©: 1
I took a careful look at my drawing, and I can kinda see what the scanner was picking up. Evidently the drawing before this in my drawing pad, I had pressed hard enough to leave indents in the page behind. They aren't obvious to the naked eye, but the scanner really picked them up. Ah well.
Oh, his hair was a pain in the rear! Those locks really have to fall just so in order to make it look right.
π: 0 β©: 1
This is what scanners do I guess. You always can go and edit a scanned picture with Photoshop or GIMP. I don't mean any changes on the drawing itself, but removing scanner effects. (Just don't ask me how, exactly, this works ...)
I think it was worth the effort.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I had someone tell me that I NEED to take my scanned drawings and clean them before I post them. I don't really have a way to do that right now, unfortunately, but I plan on doing it once I can, because there are times when I really can't get the page looking any cleaner with an eraser...
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, I don't say you need to, just that you could.
By the way, have you seen Mavrosh's project elf? So it *is* possible to make a life-sized picture of a character, with a 3D-program, at least. I'd wish I could get the latest version of DAZ to run ...
π: 0 β©: 1
I did!! I almost said "But we were just talking about that" hehe. So gorgeous! I want one!! Um...whoops, sorry, got distracted there.
Yeah, no, I didn't figure you would say something that brusque to me, but well, it would be nice to be able to do that, I mean I'd love to be able to clean it up afterwards.
π: 0 β©: 1
Good to know that is *is* possible, even though she agreed that it won't work to draw a full body picture the way I draw with GIMP. She was thinking about offering commissions, but I think a life-sized character is something very personal one should do oneself. There *is* paper that size, it's just extremely expensive. One day ... at the moment I have enough to do with my requests.
I never would say something like that. I tell my friends when I think something looks odd for me, but I'd never tell others what they have to or must not do.
π: 0 β©: 1
OH, it's definitely something I want to do myself some day. It's very good to know it's possible.
I know you wouldn't. The comment was...very hard for me to take gracefully. I mean, I tried my best to do so, and take it as helpful, but...yeah, I was particularly frustrated because when I explained that I didn't have a computer I could do that on, well, it seemed like they thought I was lying or something. Oh well, doesn't matter, and the information they gave me WAS useful, so that's what I tried to take out of it.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, one day ... Well, there are other media, too. I could take old newspapers, buy glue and plaster and ... but where would I put it? We won't have space for a statue.
I understand you. Even constructive criticism can hurt when it's given in the wrong way or tone.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, and I wasn't prepared for it at the time. It was one of those comments made while talking about something else entirely. Made it harder to swallow. Still, the actual information they gave me was helpful, so it was worthwhile regardless.
π: 0 β©: 1
That, too. It's like ... someone would say "as a writer you *must* use a dictionary sometimes and do some research when you want a story to be readable and make sense" or "you *have* to learn shading before you are taking requests" to me during a discussion about something entirely different. It's good, though, that you don't let it take you down and take what is useful for you out of it.

It's kinda my motto in life (not that I can always follow it). Take the good lessons, learn what you need, and dump out the rest. It's really easy for me to take negative things to heart. I'm really over sensitive, so I have to be vigilant about it.
π: 0 β©: 1
I have the tendency to take *all* negative things to heart, much more than the positive ones, even when it's nonsense and I should know better. You have a great motto. It just is hard to decide sometimes which lessons are the good ones and which ones you better forget.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, of course it's impossible to do everything right so that it is a good thing not to take pure compliments too serious, but the opposite doesn't help either. Even stamps like "keep your crap to your scraps" sometimes make me feel bad, even though they don't mean me ... maybe you know what I mean. It is then when I feel like I am not good enough to be here and better should go back into lurking.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, I'm so glad I'm not the only one that reads something like that, and just feels...inadequate I guess. Or if I'm part of a group, and they post something about watching the "quality" of the work, etc. I usually will chicken out on posting anything there.
π: 0 β©: 1
Worst thing is, I even understand those people who don't want to see stick figures all day on an *art* page. Well, they probably don't mean intermediate artists (like you) and beginners (like me) in general, but those teenagers (don't misunderstand, I don't say all teenagers are like that) who exaggerate it and spam not only their own galleries but also groups with their school doodles, think they are great, want ego strokes and don't even really try to improve.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I know what you mean. I find, I'm particularly sensitive to complaints about "Pencil scribbles" and "sketches" being unwelcome. I mean...I draw in pencil. I wouldn't say my work is a sketch, I mean, I can do sketches, that is something very different to me. My drawings are completed work...still, it can very much feel like they are talking about me, and my work is unwelcome. Some people seem to believe that if your work isn't in color, it's not...worthy I guess.
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't think they mean pencil drawings but rather what I mentioned before: those crappy doodles kids make on lined paper in school. You know that I don't want to see that in our group either. I wouldn't call your drawings sketches. Others describe it a bit better: only finished works, please, no unfinished sketches or doodles.
Don't care what some people believe. Some think digital art is worth less (as if the pictures would draw/paint themselves just because they are created on the computer), others would say writing is not art. If you ask me, the medium does not matter.
π: 0 β©: 1
I tell myself that they don't mean me most of the time, but sometimes it still scares me away.
I don't really get the thing against digital art, but then again, I don't get a lot of people's complaints against a certain art style. Art is very, very subjective. There is plenty of art I don't care for, but I'd never go so far as to say it wasn't art, or wasn't worthy.
But yes, sometimes I want to tell a budding pencil artist to at least grab unlined computer paper to practice on, so their finished work is clean.

I know, I have the same feeling sometimes. I was horribly down when there was a discussion at the literature forum about certain writing issues which are considered bad. Most of it doesn't even apply to my planned project, still I almost gave up. Or whenever someone suggests that those noobs should get an extra category so that their bad drawings don't show up at the front page ... they don't mean me, still sometimes I feel hurt, unwelcome, excluded from the party. Maybe has something to do with the fact that as a kid/young girl I was an outsider who rarely was invited to anything (unless out of pity) and never got a date.
Same here. Some things just aren't my cup of tea, but they still can be well-done or not. I also think that one sees the difference even in a beginner's work: if the artist put lots of work, time and love into it or just hastily made something in five minutes.
I even told someone already. If you want to be taken serious you should try, at least. Scribbling on lined paper is not very professional. It's different when people do abstract art and use only post-it's on intent because it's their personal style, paint with tea or coffee and things like that.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, oh that reminds me, there was one of the people I'm watching who was doing beautiful work on post-it notes. I was floored. Gorgeous stuff.
Yeah, I was very much an outsider as a child/young woman. No one understood me, or had any desire to understand me, or include me...OK, that's not true. there was one very sweet guy in High School that tried several times to make me feel included. I ended up with such a crush on him, but he was in a happy relationship. *sigh* He had a big nose, and the prettiest chocolate brown eyes too. *grin*
Most of the time, I didn't want to be included, I was too busy off doing my own thing, but that didn't mean it didn't hurt those times I did want to be included, and I knew that not only would I not be invited, but that my presence was specifically not wanted.

Like a friend told me of that girl who paints with coffee.
It was very similar. I had different interests anyway, but I wanted to be like the others and always wondered what was wrong with me. Boys my age didn't interest me anyway, but still, the feeling that I was not good or not pretty enough for them ... My first boyfriend was much older than me, he was the clichΓ© of an unknown poet and 24, I was 16.
