Description AKA how I go about drawing using a photo reference.
"Semi-realism" because I always seem to just go my way when shading/highlighting. /sigh

Now do this 1923498045 times until you're pleased with your shading and highlights.

Sounds easy enough.
Dammit, you and your realism skills. Thank you so much for this tutorial.

Yup. I'll try this, but the likelihood of it even looking CLOSE to the original is very low. -_-

There's some people out there who just amaze me with how well they do realism... I am not one of those people. xD

But that first step is actually the biggest thing I have ever realised when drawing realism, because I could never get the shape right. But in the end, it's worth a try and that's all that matters.

Yeah, that's a really smart first step! There are two realism pictures I've been wanting to do, but I never knew where to start. Hopefully this will help me. If it doesn't, it would be my fault and no one else's. I'm realism-challenged. XD

Even with this, Ā I don't think I can do realism ;~;
