dont bother buyin packs of markers for grayscales. all the michaels and art supply stores around me keep all their grays out in the open. just make it a point to grab a couple more from the set everytime i go in. i got almost all the cool gray shades and im workin on the warms.
dont bring your girl to rack..unless she's rackin shit too haha. just get in n out quick. theres mad grays but you can do fine with just a pocketful.
Prefer, I would like to see some of your realism portraits/sketches. To freek- Learn the rule of thirds, and placement of body parts. Study anatomy of the skull, and facial features if portraits are your thing. Draw from life. If you can't find a model, photos will do for now, but won't substitute for knowledge gained when drawing models. If you want to learn to paint/draw flash, wait until you can draw a decent portrait or figure then wait some more. Wait until you are well on your way to becoming an apprentice or even until you are one.
did these to help a friend out with his characters. hopefully they'll help some of you...

ha thanks. that's actually quite sloppy for me but i threw the whole thing together rather quickly so i could work on other projects. i was always told that leftys were neater...idk how true that is tho haha. ..makes me wonder why my handstyles suck so hard haha.
atesk- love the body/face descriptions any suggestions for pants/shoes ? I suck at ending my characters.. the waist down is always a blunt finish [Broken External Image]:http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kxu0bypKRb1qzox7eo1_500.jpg and yeah yeah I forgot the Y in HAPPY - HA it was a quick add in and somehow slipped my mind but as you can see... shoes.. not happening
hey atesk could you finish the demonstration with jaw + lips and all that? id like to see it all come together even one with a body would be cool. just to see final stage of something you might do
where the fuck you been hiding bill? yeah i'll do one up for the body when i get the time. i already did a few quick face sketches in that set but the pic isnt working. i'll rehost it for you tho... [Broken External Image]:http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/3745/scan0003j.jpg um i got classes all night but i'll try and have one up for the body later tonight. i might just post one of my drawings from class seeing as i got figure drawing later.
