I also love the title of this piece. Makes it that much more poignant.

This is phenomenal! Old people are so fun to draw, aren't they? You can really get in there and put a lot of detail in them because of their wrinkles.

Old people are the best! they have such deep eyes..and the more wrinkly they are, the easier it is to see the shadows..
Thank you very much for the compliments..even though she doesn't quite resemble my source but shhhh..
It was the first time I tried something like that..I hope I'll have time to try to do anotherone in this tecnique one of these days...
(and thank you, thank you, thank you )

Yes! I remember the first A I had ever gotten from this really tough teacher I had in school was from a portrait I did of an old man (which I think is still in my gallery). Everyone else went with super simple stuff, but I knew you could do a lot of really cool things with a portrait of an old person. I impressed the heck out of him though with how large I was able to draw it and how quickly I was able to complete the assignment.
Haha. I won't tell anyone if you don't tell anyone that my old man was a little off too.

right, even though I don't look at it to often because the more I look at her, the more I see my mistakes hahaha
Now you made me curious..I'm so gonna dig in your gallery to find that old man!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha. It's okay. We ALL go through that. I look at stuff I did yesterday and hate it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
one thing is to see the mistakes and another thing is to be able to correct them hahahaha, but yes, I get the point..the thing is that I should draw more..I mostly doodle...doodle is fun, but not too instructive..

I know it's a difficult thing, but my advice is just to try not to worry too much about it. I always found it's kind of counterproductive to dwell on where you are now, when you could be focusing on where you could be tomorrow. If there's ever anything you need help with correcting, that maybe you don't know how to do, just ask me and I'll do my best to help you out in any way that I can. I'll do my best to point things out as they come to me. Don't ever feel though that because I'm criticizing something, that I don't like your work though. I do like a lot of your ideas, and you're really on the right path. I just want to push you to do better because I can see what you could be capable of doing.

you're very wise, you know? I'll try to draw and upload more..but most of all I'll try to actually STUDY PROPORTIONS, faces and traditional art in general..comics are fun, but to draw a good stilyzide comic, one has to have in mind how the actual structure works underneath..soooooo traditional portraits on the way (as soon as I'll have time..I'm quite slow when I don't doodle my silly things)
See you Captain..here in Italy in 5 a.m. and if I don't rush to bed NOW, tomorrow (today) I'll probably die (my alarm clock is set to 7:00 gaaaaa...see you!

Haha. Thank you. I don't know about being wise, but people have always told me I'm really mature for my age. I'm glad to hear you say all of that stuff though. Style I feel is important, but what's even more important beforehand is getting a solid foundation in basic drawing (like you said: perspective, anatomy, proportion, design, etc.). I have absolute faith in you that you'll accomplish great things with your work, if you continue down the path you're going. Good luck, matey!

Thank you SO much! It's one of my first attempts in this style..I'm so glad you like it

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know I should, but I tend to panic when I have to do realistic drawing hahahaha..one of these days I'll try again
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

gotta love that toned paper. looks good. keep up the good work
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahaha thank you very much! I love that paper..it gives an "ancient effect"
..if you're interested, the name of the paper is "Carta da Spolvero" (or at least in italian)..but I think it's almost the same paper you use for your drawings..it has pretty much the same colour...
thank you again for the attention

This looks amazing!
Love all the detail you put here, nicely done!

Forse aumenterei le rughe sopra gli occhi. Però se t'azzardi a ridire che non sai disegnare ti faccio tracciare l'IP, cerco dove sei e ti vengo personalmente a prendere a manate. Eccheccavolo.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hahaha GRAZIEMILLE! Detto da te poi ,che sei il mago dei disegni, è un complimentone!!!
La verità è che ho ancora tantissimo da imparare...ma tanto tanto TANTO...il fatto è che per essere una che è andata all'artistico sono davvero una ciabatta a disegnare...

Attenta che sei andata VICINISSIMA al rischio "manata nel muso" per le cause sopra descritte.

Very important - before proposing marriage to that beautiful girl, meet her mother!
This is fully dimensional, with shading, texture and emotional expression. Composition isn't bad, as the kerchief circulates the eye through through what is otherwise dead (inactive) space and brings it around the face.
More like this!

hahahaha what a professional comment! Thank you!
I will do more drawings like this (when I'll have time)..
I kind of feel bad for all the compliments I got on this piece, because I tryed to copy a picture, but my drawing really doesn't look like the person I was copying...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I speak from experience! (LOL)
Copying is good practice! Everyone does it. Avoid getting addicted to it, because it can ruin you later by interfering with drawing from imagination. It marks an intermediary level of development which is followed by a difficult leap. That transition can be so difficult and frustrating that many never take it. They remain copiers for the balance of their careers.
I don't think YOU have that problem - not with your sense of humor. You will never be satisfied unless expressing what's in your imagination.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you pretty much got me, you know? My problem is quite the opposite..I can draw by immagination, but not really from copying..the thing is that (I don't know why) I've almost never copyed anything in my life..when I was little I thought that copying was like cheating..(silly me) and because of that I always only drew things I invented..
I'm starting to relize only now that "if you don't copy you don't quite get better"..soooo that's my story

The good part of that is you developed your faculty for composition and expression. The bad part is that without copying, there is no way to check your technical ability. But, believe me, you nurtured the harder of the two.
Technical ability is simply a matter of study and practice. There is nothing mysterious about it. The practice is straight forward and the results come quickly. Not so for learning composition - which one doesn't really learn. (It comes, or it doesn't. One sees it, or does not.) Many excellent technicians have no sense for good composition.
