Yep, so it was drawn on a graph paper, I don't know if anyone had ever used this but it is used to help get the thing you are getting to be more realistic _smile.gif I don't feel like explaining it really, but I will if you ask...

It's been editted to enhance the colors.



Colored Pencils/Pencils were the medium.

This is pretty much my second try at drawing human faces like this so yep.

It pretty. I love to use the guild grid myself. But you forgot to erase the lines and they isn't suppose to be the thick and obvious.

That's really good, in my opinion! Better than anything I can draw.

I like it. You did a really good job _smile.gif

We use the graph paper technique thing in to sketch in engineering. It makes it easier to scale a sketch bigger or smaller.

Cartoons, Animals, people - I have a hard time with drawing the nose part. I wish I can show my work but I don't have an scanner, I guess I do what you did and take a picture of it.

At my school we use the grid method all the time, almost for every art piece we do (except we erase the grid).

It looks slightly distorted, still. Use a smaller grid next time to match it up more correctly. Also, I'd practice doing a gradation chart with regular ebony or a black colored pencil to help you out with the skin. Skin can be pretty tricky to shade.

thank you _smile.gif ^

i was really hoping for someone to give me ways to improve.

Yeah. My colors are totally off from the original, the brown is too dark and its not shaded as much as I should of on the forehead and the left side of the lip is bugging because its overrly emphasized,, but I already drew it in with the pencil so it'll be hard to erase.

thank you guys
