Description My 5th tutorial's done!!!
Click download to get the larger version.

I know what you're thinking:
'But... oh mighty =Cataclysm-X , why art thou submitting a tutorial which wasn't shown in thy poll?'
lol

Well... like this tutorial says: just 'cause.
Actually, I think it makes more sense if you read this tutorial before you'll see my next (upcoming) tutorials:
  • Proportions tutorial

  • Detailed hair tutorial


  • Besides, I'm looking for my muse. I lost it a week ago. I started with several drawings (actors, Kingdom Hearts...) but none of them look right.

    Has anyone seen my muse anywhere? If you'll find it, you'll get a free cookie.


    I used the work in progress files of my Jared Leto drawing to get this done.
    I knew I could use those WIPs for something useful someday...

    Anyway, have fun with this tutorial!! Hope you'll find it useful!!!

    thanks for the tutorial ^^ it's funny that you just start drawing an eye, most people start off with a circle, and devide the face in parts to make it easier. you just start, draw and make a godlike piece xD

    Hehe nice XD I always start with the eye as well in a portrait, my only problem is I can never seem to get the other eye looking right! TT (and my proportions need work too lol) Really looking forward to the next one ^.^

    neenees In reply to ??? [2007-11-30 14:24:32 +0000 UTC]

    thanks for revealing your secrets.

    when you're shading, do you shade in darker parts or lighter parts first? especially for clothing.

    aluminumcandy In reply to ??? [2007-11-30 14:00:32 +0000 UTC]

    That is actually very useful. You're right we all have our own styles, but I do like to see how others do it. Get some tips and adapt them to better work for my needs. Thanks for this. I've been studying some different styles by different portrait artist. (yours included) and this really progresses that along.

    I love cookies. ;.; You can have my muse if you want. She sleeps a little too much, but you know.... cookie.

    Awesome Tutorial! As always - you totally Rock with anything you do girl! WOOT! Love it and thank you - I really need to become more structured in the formation of a portrait - I will often move from one area to another instead of concentrating on just one area. This oftentimes leads me to have to support my arm/hnad to keep it from wiping into the detail area of another part (grrrrr - hate when that happens ). This is beautifully done by a complete master of the craft!

    That's a great technique too!! I have 3 ways of getting started with a drawing, also the one you mentioned, but I prefer this (the tutorial) the most.

    Seems like artteachers don't tell their pupils how to draw stuff like this. It's weird
