Description How does it feel?
When you're alone....and you're cold inside?



The motive behind the hatching shading was for it to have a subliminal rain effect....don't think that worked though lol!
I don't blend my drawings, except the blacks, full view to see what I mean!

detail shot: [link]

speed drawing video! [link] !

I used lots of reference pics but the main one was this [link]

this is quite a far cry from the first wip O_O [link]

14x17. Graphite pencils 2h, F, B, 3B, 6B. Carbon pencil. Paper towel and q-tips.
Took around 3 hours to shade and.......forever to actually sketch lol!



edit: thinking of doin a redraw in pen....

Moon, you don't like anything. You're just like Michael.

He was very strong-willed *-*

He said he never really looked in the mirror cause he never liked what he saw/there was alwasy something wrong/not right... When I heard that, I was like:
"MICHAEL WHAT- ARE YOU BLIND?!"

He also said that he didn't like his smile. "I don't like my smile, but I do it for you" he said.......how dafuq....I can't comprehend that.

Wow.. This is so awsome i would never be able to do something like this x3 I mostly do Watercolor paintings and random doodles x3 This is one of my fave songs too but Human Nature is still my #1. I think the hatching looks like rain.

hmmmm you don't think the watermark is enough? What should I use then? Or put it in a different spot orrr make it bigger? I'm not using dA's cuz they always plaster it in the middle lol!

VilenH In reply to MoonwalkingHorse [2012-07-27 00:22:34 +0000 UTC]

It requires your signature and you should hide it somewhere. it's better if there's 2 signatures or more. then a big watermark OR... several small watermarks. again hidden as much as possible. and i personally also have a secret watermark which people can't recognize and if they can, they can't read it anyway because it's written in a rare language. you could try and use a secret in your drawings too. oh and upload your drawing in 400 px. i know it's small but believe me, my art was stolen and it don't feel good.
That's all i could think of because seems like one simple watermark won't stop thieves from stealing!

MoonwalkingHorse In reply to VilenH [2012-07-27 00:56:02 +0000 UTC]

i always thought about hiding watermarks throughout but I know some people get annoyed by watermarks....but I guess they're gonna have to deal with it!!
I've had stuff stolen from me too(in real life) and it's waaaay easier to steal off the internet, so I always watermark everryytthiinngg.
And that is true, my friend figured out how to photoshop out watermarks on the first day of electronic art! She showed me and I was like "Yea! That's cool!" but on the inside I was like..."if a newbie photoshopper can shop out watermarks..... omg, I'm screwed!"

VilenH In reply to MoonwalkingHorse [2012-07-27 15:23:44 +0000 UTC]

Yes it's really easy with Photoshop, Spot healing brush tool can remove 95% of watermark. Specially if it's on a background with no details. and that means just with one click!
