Scotia's Eyes (drawing)
To take full advantage of Flickr, you should use a JavaScript-enabled browser and
install the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player .
This is my first attempt at drawing a portrait in its entirety (eyes, nose, lips, hair, etc).
It's based on one of
Intrepid Lady's excellent photos (thanks for permission to draw it, and post the result).
For a first attempt, I'm relatively pleased with how it turned out. I need some more practice with hair. And I didn't quite capture the mouth the way I see it in the photo. The shading around the nose took forever. But, like I said, for a first attempt, I'm happy.

hey... when you are doing a portrait and
things are not coming out right and you can't
figure out why... turn it upside down and try
to draw it that way (that way you trick your
brain into not seeing a face, instead yo see
shapes and shadows and usually you figure out
what you were doing wrong) then, turn it back
up and keep on going...

This is really good. You have the ability to
see... that is what makes great artists.
When you can see what is really there,
instead of letting the eye in your mind tell
you what is there, you can draw anything.
Just as important as shape is contrast...
don't be afraid to make your darks very dark.
Very nice! I know artists who have drawn
for years that don't see as well as you have
in your first work!
