Those are pretty good, though you could probably try to add a bit more shading, the neck isn't the only place where you'll find shadows on a face

unless you're holding a spotlight right infront of them ofcourse

Drawn during a college on management. It started out as just the eye...

I know, i just didn't feel like finishing it on squared paper. Of course, i went shopping earlier, bought a bunch of useless stuff and forgot about paper *double facepalm*

I don't really feel like finishing it thou, it's squared paper after all

One more. I wonder if the hair is misproportioned? I can't really tell, Sousuke's hairstyle ftw

About the first one, shadows look better when not lined.

About the second, there's something off with the right side of his hair, it doesn't scale right so it looks like the hair on the back is actually going more up and front not back.

BTW. Almost all of mine are on squared paper, those that aren't are on the cover of leaflets with squared paper.

~~LOL!~~
~~(See PM)~~

Given

Kidding really...
Nice aesthetics. Simple and kinda commonly shaped like teh other mother and child paintings (which is fortunately kinda common)

And it's PS right?

photoshop CS2, damn outdated, but it works.

Arc-sama · « **Reply #287 on:** March 09, 2011, 10:50:03 AM »

Hey I was using Photoshop 7 for the longest time ... only got CS4 last May 2010.

I still have issues using the bloody thing ...

Kyrdua · « **Reply #288 on:** March 09, 2011, 10:52:26 AM »

^ eh, what issues?

CRxTRDUDE · « **Reply #289 on:** March 09, 2011, 10:52:43 AM »

^^ I loved PS 7. Unfortunately, I wanted to use the new ones. Been using PS CS3 as well.

Having to relearn where everything is & stuff ... it so irritating!!!

Though I did pick up a how to book for PS CS4 recently.

Kyrdua · « **Reply #291 on:** March 09, 2011, 11:05:03 AM »

^ oh, that, well had that frustration on cs4 myself(though the main prob was that my lappy couldn't handle it). so i stuck with CS3.

@CRX dude, i'd go ahead and pickup CS5 if my lappy can only take it. tired of using vintage progs.

@ Kurando, ya made something good again

I kind of like your works 'cause of the originality xD

+ Should I take pics of my physics note book??

It is kind of art piece itself xD It gives the question, wtf I do at school xD

being told that "your art sucks" is a good thing.
being ignored for whatever reason is not.

oh don't mind me, just philosophizing before i start studying for todays exams...

Your art sucks. There happier now? No just kidding. I like the simplicity of it, and good pen-tooling!
Honestly I think pen tooling is one of the best ways to learn to create art, it's so precise if you're good with it.
Too bad I never had the patience to practice it.

lol, thanks. the pen tooling was mainly because i don't have access to a gfx tablet @ school, and i am yet to learn digital painting. speaking of which, you use a gfx tablet on your shoop paintings right?
