Description i was talking with ~photographer-amymay last night and we got talking portraits.

i love portraits and don't get to do enough of them. or i should say i don't show enough of the ones i do.

so, inspiration led to strolling through a disk of photo's i made with ~ahemjez .

i want to show you this. i liked the way the shadows fell across her eyes. it's not dark, but to me it makes them more important.

anyway, look how dusty my LP is.

=O Oh lovely, you're right, the shadow does bring out her eyes more, I'm going to take a note of that next time I take some pictures. ^_^

lightandshadow In reply to Cheshirecaticus [2007-11-18 06:48:03 +0000 UTC]

thank you. it's not that it brings them out. light would do that. i think the shadow makes them more important. the shadow gives the impression that they are hiding. which makes them more intriguing

This is a great photo. I love the light: The way it just 'clips' her nose, and the reflected glow giving depth. It's her expression that also makes it - at first I wondered if she didn't want the photo taken! The framing is fantastic too! I tried drawing it here: [link] but it's my 2nd attempt at drawing, so it's not great.
Thanks for the great work!

thank you. people are not easy to draw. i made a comment on your pencilling. there are some simple guidelines to faces. rules about distances between each facial feature. once you memorise them it makes them a whole lot easier. i think you have otherwise done really well

thank you for using this as a basis for your drawing - i am glad it gave you inspiration

thank you. it's gibson's poorer cousin epiphone. but it all honesty - i had a custom gibson les paul that did not sound as good as this one.
