wow not bad! first is proportion..face is too long..2nd ur mouth SLIGHTLY too big. 3rd, contrast ur shading. be more daring..compare the left side and right side the tonal value..right side shud make it more more darker =) and the hair..shade moreee..

but still

wow

masuk toc terus ada major advancement??

good job la bro!

Alright, thanks sifu
But like the values right, I have to go layer by layer till i can get the darkest layer i need right?

I wanted to do this... Thought it would be cheating or something >.< So i just used my thumb and index finger, just to get like the length of each part for the proportions. Thanks

Yaaa, the proportions I know, I did it so many times but still. T_T
About the contrast thingy, I think the same thing that my lecturer always says. She said that most of us are scared to go darker T_T
Thanks man

Haha, the lecturer gooding la Got some extra sessions with her, she was free. And being around friends that can draw quite well is pretty helpful as well. The learning environment here, seriously pretty good

@ OH

Layer by layer, yes. Or if you are using tinted paper (i.e. paper that is not white), you can use white chalk to imitate the lights, the paper colour acting as a midtone, and the pigments of your pencils acting as the shadows.

hehe..who's ur lecturer? hmm..keep it up la..keep posting here more often ur works =)

This one is just using layout pad, its slightly yellowish tho. But very subtle la. Thanks for the tip

Terra, awesome lecturer. Top lecturer in favorite list

Finished the "porcelain skin" experiment:

measuring is not cheating ler.. most artist still does that

Reminds me of the girl in this video... Looks like her

The skin complexion for the elf girl seems awesome. There's more 'Caucasian' feel in this one.

Nice one, ace. Is that live portrait or drawn from a photo reference? How long you took to complete that?

@ vypur

More like "malnourished virginal elf shut up in a tower for most of her life" kind of skin complexion I personally don't enjoy painting porcelain skin. It's very, very beautiful, but it's also somewhat unnatural. Very few people actually have skin that perfect, haha.

its been a while since last time.reading all of the previous posts,man i regret i wasnt here that often.i learn a lot just by reading the feedbacks between u guys

and uh i ditched on the mass effect Garrus artwork.didnt feel like its going anywhere.maybe im not gud enough just yet.
but heres something i made last year,a day before my SPM exam.(when i should've been studying instead. )
the thing is,i bought battlefield 3 on the release date but promised myself not to touch it before im done with the exam.it was a torture.so this came out haha




and my current WIP.based on the Mass Effect Deception novel that i bought fairly recently




feedbacks are much appreciated!

thanks man xD it's from photo ref, and took abt 10hrs.
