Pretty much done and just need to clean up my sketch, but I see Prax has somehow pumped out a gazillion masterpieces in an hour... -_-; Lawd, girl. Workin' it!
Ahhh, it's great~ I think you captured plenty of elements and I'm now forced to consider using yellow as a shader. ^_^ Thank ya! Do you sketch --> scan -->comp color or all on the comp?
And I'm with you on the pushing part. My stuff now is so much better than when I started. Haven't changed my style too much, though. I should probably take a leaf out of your book and give it a go.
*_____* Oooooo. Super cool! It looks like one of those iconic pop culture prints. Love it! Thanks, yo!
Here you go! I struggled getting your likeness, and I see parts are still off. But I guess it'll do for now.
Yeah, It really does scratch an itch, and I'm having fun pushing myself to try and improve doing these portraits, and trying out different styles and techniques.
Hey Onkel, good to see another fantastic picture from you, hehehe! So many good new portraits to draw...

Experimenting with more comic-style inking and coloring for this one:

Hey. Anyone would make one for me? My wifes (and mine) anniversary is coming up in 3 weeks and would love to have a great drawing of maybe one of our wedding pics~

Cool thread! Would love to see what comes of it c:
Hey! Hopefully you don't mind that you're exaggerated a bit. I was inspired to also try out a flat stylized design.
Aww, thanks! I was playing around with the colors trying to capture how your picture is overexposed a bit, and thought the colors made it interesting.
I think it's important to not just stick with one thing that works. I really want to improve painting, so I need to push myself to move away from relying on line art so much.
I'm working on the iPad Pro, but my process is still the same as when I do traditional sketch on paper. I usually do a quick light rough, and then trace over it correcting and nailing the line down as I go. I'll do this once or twice, until I get what I want. Traditionally, it's all on the same piece paper, but I can put them on different layers in the iPad or Photoshop.
This was my quick sketch for you:
And my quick sketch for Moonkid. I did the final ink over this sketch:

Finished. So hard to even get a full free 15mins these days... -_-;

Hmmm... I like the drawing, but I think I missed the mark on you. Sorry, yo. Goofed on the hairline and somehow forgot to do the neck lines too. And I love doing neck lines... Aaagh. Baby brain sucks. -_-;
Haha. Yeah, had to play with the levels a bit because the background in the original was so dark that you could barely see the outline of my head in the original. Thought the colors looked neater in this version, anyway.
You're totally right on the pushing your comfort zone thing. Hard to develop if you stick to one thing. Will try something new next go or maybe just start working on color (inspired by you guys bc you're killing it). I do really like your sketch work, though. The one you did for Moonkid looks like something from the New Yorker.

I have but.. it seems like.. too much responsibility..!
cPlus, I would have to think if I would really make ~$400/wk with doing art versus like.. just my current hourly wage doing mindless grocery work. lol It's a balancing act between my "skill" vs my actual "motivation/willpower" to use that skill. Unfortunate for me.. but I wish you a lot of luck and hope you have all the willpower in the world!
Hahahah! Perfect! Beautiful!!! *posts to twitters to show off*
My hair looks cool in this! It reminds me of Splatoon. xD That is also a good Donald and I have a soft spot for him in my cranky heart lol.
Hahah.. my stuff isn't clean like your stuff is! I wish I could take more time to make nice clean sketches too but I think I'd just drive myself crazy.
It takes a lot less time to scribble... Thankfully scribbles have a kind of charm to them when it comes to line weight.
I'll see if I can do more tomorrow!

So many talented people in one amazing thread, how have I missed this?
I'm gonna post up a picture my wife loves, featuring our old cat Meisha, who passed away last year.
Would love to see what could be done.

I'm throwing myself into ring.
There are assumptions being made here.
I don't think it's too rude to try and double dip in this thread considering it was two years ago, so, if anyone feels like it:
Hardcore selfie culture has gone too far.
Are corgis allowed or.,?
Corgis aren't allowed. They are surrendered to.

Thanks by the way, also appreciate you showing the initial sketch.That's mint n___n, thank you! I like the hint of snobbishness coming through hehe.
Could a kind artist make one of me? Maybe in a comic style like this one:

Amazing! You're really captured the essence of the photo!
Sure, why not. Have some megaphones.
Inspired by Prax's neon shading style, which seemed to fit with your picture:

Posted and got a great piece of art from this thread years ago - still use it as my Facebook cover photo. Here's a new photo with my relatively new beard if anyone is willing to take a stab at a beard plus tye-dye selfie.

Since my cat went with the "draw me like one of your french girls" pose, would someone please oblige him?

Here's one of me to try out. The high contrast might make it tricky, or maybe it won't. I'm not sure... :s

Same. I've asked for a lot in this thread, so skip me unless you're feeling extra generous. Here:

Sorry late reply on this! Love it!
You captured the quirks beautifully, and I adore the shading lines on the lips and nose area. Looks very newspaper comic-style (Doonesbury?). Thanks so much~Perfect! Hahaha.
