Done with a graphite pencil on some 16x12 paper, folded so I have many tries at getting it right when I can't erase anymore. Still a work on progress, will update as I continue on it. Dunno why, but I love traditional stuff now. D: ![]() http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/49407883/ |

I not long did a quick drawing of tony hawk, it turned out alright but need to work on my shading some more. Looks alright so far I guess, hard to tell after such little work but keep at it man. |

Man I can't stand traditional drawing/painting. Go figure I attend an art college where I spend a lot of time doing that. ![]() Looks good so far. Remember that the line on your lips extend to the edges unless you're not going for realism but rather a style. Would be better if we had a photograph to compare with.

We're not using photos to go by, we use mirrors to draw features. I know the lips thing, but I have to fix the bottom line of my lip (on the bottom one) to be more realistic to be able to make the line seem real. I used to think "who the hell does this bull****?" when people made books and drew, but now that we do it more and more, I've kinda gotten into it. |

I know what you mean, it takes up a lot of time as it's such detailed work which is good and when you actually draw something from scratch and look at the end result, it's a brilliant feeling of accomplishment that you made it all yourself

I'm not sure if that bottom line is your chin or not, but it looks too high up. |
