STEP___

I'll give you a muffin if you vote for me!

I vote for you

I did that last time!

it didn't had my name on it!

ps: lol at the secret ingredient!

so who's gonna bake me a cheesecake to vote for

in Hema in Waasland shopping center:teehee:

my sister went in to look for baby clothes and i was wandering around, and i just stumbled upon them

Hema?! wtf?!

last shop I'd expect them!

i finally found one, completely by coincidence while shopping today

 

see

where did you found that one?

I totally forgot to tell everyone how the True Blood con was last year... ooops!

 

 

Actually, I came in here to mention that there's another True Blood con on in Sydney and Melbourne this year (ans as much as I'd like to meet Sam Trammell again, I can't afford it)... They're getting Sam Trammell (Sam), Nelsan Ellis (Lafayette), Joe Manganiello (Alcide), and hopefully they're getting someone else (if they get Alexander Skarsgard then I'll be soooooo pissed!)...

why don't they have that here in Belgium

btw, you've met quite a few actors already, haven't you?

didn't you had a pic with ian somerhalder too? Not jealous

Hot babe:das:

yes you know me

here aswell

my dress from Modcloth

I just love Alcide

@Julia, amazing painting skills! love the colour combinations

I can't be patient! D;

Step i still ADORE your drawings!

When is the blue eyed guy done?!

 

Edit: Amazing how you can get all the little hairs, into the drawing!

I'm working on his left eye as you know

and then I still need to do a cheeck, forehead, hair, etc, so be patient

i actually was planning on doing that, but that's for tomorrow wanted first to finish the outlines, took me almost a day in total to get that, so

that's long!

this is what i started yesterday, so far i'm happy with it, but then again, it's only a sketch

 

looks good already, though I'd also include some shadows in your easy lines.

so you just draw the outlines of the darker shadows, very lightly, it helps a lot when you start "colouring" your drawing.

and remember: work from dark to light!

and when it's black on the picture, it's black on your drawing!

I thought it was your drawing

Because it looks like a painting....maybe I'm a bit blind

 

Anyway...your drawing is better..

I'll show you my drawing

and yes the pic indeed looks like a painting a bit, It's because they edited it so much it doesn't really looks so realistic anymore

so my version:

I don't know because I don't understand the article...that's why I asked:blink:

I don't understand it either, but I just think the article is about who's the most popular superhero, and apperently that's Wolverine. which is why they used that pic. and Lucy just wanted to point out that I've made a drawing of that pic

I don't understand the article, but I saw your drawing, Steph! Shall I say contratulations?

 

euhm, why congratulations?

I was just passing through news over Slovak websites and look what I found in one article! http://www.aktuality.sk/clanok/190901/schopnosti-superhrdinov-ktore-su-naj/

I guess it´s the picture that our Stephanie drew!

yes it is

and i don't seem to learn :aah:

 

think andrea will get it way way faster then me:teehee:

you do learn! But I can understand the urge to draw a line is sometimes a bit bigger

I still need tons of practise My drawings keep on looking all the same way.

And maybe better materials could help too... what exactly do you use girls?

I use computer paper and pencil HB for the guide lines and I always use 4B for the shadow, but I've also used 2B, 5B and 6B this time. And then I use cotton to 'mix' it.

There are too many 'and's

Oh, and this is actually the first time I don't edit the photo to b&w, I did directly from the colored one.

I need advice, please

 

you obviously have an eye for details as you managed to draw pretty much every shadow, even the smaller ones. and the shading is almost perfect really. the only problem is, that well, I can see the direction in which you drew them, which is slightly diagonal, from left bottom corner to right upper corner of the paper, you know what I mean?

you have to make sure that that isn't visible, and you can do that by making circles with your pencil, while you do the shadows! just make sure we don't see circles then, so you need to do little circles, and go over it several times. so you'll shadows will become softer aswel, since the transition between dark and lighter shadows are perhaps still a bit to rough.

what you also did very well is that you didn't draw lines, I think I've said it several times on here already, I told Ilse too: don't draw lines!

and I don't see any lines on your drawing so that's good! But I also say: create lines with your shadowing. which is something that you didn't do. You always need to make sure there's a clear distinction between the face and the neck and the clothes, which isn't really visible here.

But like I said, you did a really great job

I do give you the advice to draw from black and white pictures, since it's a real pain in the ass to see which colour is darker than the other if it's in colour

Oh okay i see!

and I practically don't wear dresses, so no worry

You wear pants under dresses!?

under long tshirts

and it's not really a pants, it's this:

You need something pants or something under them! they are short!

I wear pants under the dresses then too, unfortunetaly they are never meant to be worn like that they make short people dresses here in belgium
