Description I drew a portrait!...and failed! again...
Aww man, I really have difficulties making portaits! D8 *sits in a dark cornor, cries a bit*
Oh well, I can clearly see all my mistakes in this drawing, so please don´t critize it too much. I KNOW it´s bad
---see also: ---

Anyway. I believe it´s good for my practice. I´ve drawn animals for so many years, but barely drawn humans! (except from manga-characters) so I still need tons of practice!
This is my 2nd attempt trying to draw Gackt, and I failed both times. Even though I did improve since last time ^^'
I will keep working hard, and practice as much as possible.

Coloured pencils on crappy paper -__-*
Worktime: 3 maybe 4 hours. Not sure.
Drawn by me

Well it's kind of a fail, but the colouring is AMAZING.
And the expression, and the detail.
Just that the neck and lips are not that good.
BUT IT'S GREAT ANYWAY.

Ah well, that sure is nice to hear I sure lost motivation when making this, haha, but now I feel more like trying again and again. I guess lots of practice might help ^__^

the mistakes you spoke of are only minor compared to how great the rest of it turned out. i think you did a really awesome job on it.
you did really good on the coloring of the skin and hair . . . .the whole thing is colored really great actually but those two stand out to me the highlights in the hair arent too overly done and it seems a bit more realistic that way

I really dislike making portraits, but I think I´ll try again and again. Practice might help
And thank you so much! I appreciate that you think so!

Look at me, I can do a bit of portrait but I have fear of shading the skin so all of my portraits sit shadeless.

Yeah, same here. You really are afraid of ruining the shadings, right?
