Ancilla Domini Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Don't be all namby-pamby and tell me they're good unless they actually are. :P Anyhow - here are a few: (For some reason, in the last two photos, the shading didn't turn up well. It's there, though, in the pictures themselves. XP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossCuT Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 DAVID TENNANT !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancilla Domini Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 DAVID TENNANT !! You recognized who it was! XD You couldn't do that for a lot of my other sketches. They generally turn out nicely, but don't look an ounce like the person I'm trying to sketch. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossCuT Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I dont recognize the other people, but maybe its because I honestly dont know who they are. But the david was is very well done! I think youve captured him very well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second one is Rafael Nadal, ATP #2 tennis player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to guess the karate kid :p Those are very good, well proportioned and lifelike. Not sure if it's your camera, but I'd encourage you to watch the shading to ensure that it "pops" off the paper...the 3rd one has it but the other two are very light.

Thanks. :) Some of it is the camera, but I can't blame it all on the camera. :P Some of the shading is very light. I have a problem with shading darker because I always feel like it isn't gonna turn out right, and I need to make it unobtrusive, which I know doesn't make sense. XD I can see the Karate Kid, btw, in the second picture. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightofChrist Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 They all look wonderful to me. The one of David Tennant is "brilliant". You should scan these in to a computer and trace them in Illustrator, or Inkscape. Perhaps it's because you took them with a camera but some detail seems to fade away. You may also need to work on the shape of the ears on both male subjects. But I can't tell because it's a low resolution and taken by a camera. But really great work! It gives me more inspiration to get back into illustrating, I've been thinking of making a fan-made Doctor Who children's book for some time. *NERD* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I don't take as much time with them as I ought. I think they make me impatient. XD Probably scanning them would be better than taking pictures of them with a camera, but I'm technologically challenged and I don't know how to scan, much less trace on Illustrator or Inkscape (which I've actually never heard of. :P) I'll have to figure something out. Perhaps learning how to scan would be useful. :hehe2: You should do that! That would be...*ahem*...brilliant. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristinaTherese Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I didn't look too closely, but I feel like Murray's sweatband and hair are both trying to be on top... like an opaque sweatband or something. I'm on my phone, so the pictures are small and I can't say any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marigold Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I recognised Tennant too, straight away! :) I can see the Rafa now too but I have to say at first I thought it was Jacob from the Twilight films. They do look a little flat. Couldn't tell you how to improve that though except perhaps more & chunkier shading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
