Description Something I drew in 10th grade for Drawing class. (hence the date 10-7-10) wow it's been a while ;__;
The assignment was to take an image and draw it out using the grid technique (which is why I was able to draw this proportionally with more ease.)
The image I took was a VISÉE mascara ad featuring J-pop star Koda Kumi (倖田 來未) :

The teacher and everyone in my class were crazy about it, so if any of them have a dA and happen to stumble upon this, they’re gonna know who I am, so I’m kinda taking a risk by posting this. 8D

------
-drawn in mechanical pencil and drawing pencils ranging from 2B-6B
-darkened image a bit using Arcsoft PhotoStudio 5

SnowLicht In reply to KingOfDillChips [2013-03-12 20:48:43 +0000 UTC]

lolz ok, if you think so. XD And it's not perfect. -
I was a stupid idiot back then (more so than now) and gave out most of my shiny cards to a classmate back in the Netherlands because he convinced me into believing that shiny cards are "fake" and aren't worth as much. lol wtf?? >u>;
I liked Pokémon till generation 3..
Nej! Ish not lies! D: and if you don't do dem commishes, then maybe an art trade, perhaps? 👍: 0 ⏩: 1

KingOfDillChips In reply to SnowLicht [2013-03-12 20:53:55 +0000 UTC]

It's so damn perfect that everyone on dA is jelly, damn it!

What the..? Lewl, shiny cards were worth the most on the streets in my childhood lolz. One shiny card? Ok, that'll be like 5 regular good ones. I shit you not. Also, there was this guy who had like a ring binder full of dem shiny cards. And I mean like 200+

Lol no.

"everyone"? e__é
b*tch plz, for it to even come close to "perfect" (which is impossible in the mortal world), it has to at least have this much detail and dedication:

Ooh, grid technique! I did a self-portrait thing of myself and it was... okay...

Anyways, you did a really good job~! Especially with hair and shading and textures and eyes and... well, everything! :3

SnowLicht In reply to BookwormWishby [2012-07-01 20:09:11 +0000 UTC]

Gaaah I hate it when art teachers make you do self-portraits XD
Much more enjoyable to draw people you admire :>

Thank you~ c:

Haha, I've never been good at drawing realistically... ( TT W TT ) So I was surprised when I didn't get a bad grade... maybe next time I'll draw a MANGA CHARACTER MWAHAHAHA Ah, well.

By the way, I thought it was... well... a picture for a moment when I saw it in "SnowLicht's deviations". I thought, "Since when does she do photography...?" I was really wrong, wasn't I. ^ w ^

SnowLicht In reply to BookwormWishby [2012-07-01 20:30:03 +0000 UTC]

I very rarely draw realism and when I do, I take foreverrrr and make a zillion mistakes XD

lol it'd be amazing if I could take an actual photo of a celebrity like Koda Kumi
I'm glad I could manage to make it look realistic~ C: The grid technique really does help XD

Drawing people is okay for me... until I lose my motivation
Still life is just... drawing fruit, pretty much. I can only take so much fruit.
