HELLO! So I finished this eye also took your advice and made some lines lighter

But now I'm going out with friends so I didnt shade it YET.

But I will try to finish it when I get back if im not tired if not today then tomorrow morning!

Also tomorrow I will move onto eyes that are looking to the left or right since apperently you draw them differentely

[LesleyCarol]

Nice! You're really starting to capture the expression of the eyes.

[Da_Bingus]

Oh just realised that today and tomorrow are the last 2 days of work so I might not post because I'm bscly working all day.

[Da_Bingus]

Hello! A quick update FINALLY IM FREEE!
I finished all my work now I can focus on my drawing starting tomorrow

Tomorrow I will shade the eyes because I didn't had time to do them before AND I will do some eyes that look in different directions

[Da_Bingus]

Hi! FFS thats just my life the day I wanted to draw the power went off and I didn't had any power in my house lol and since in my country its dark 24/7 I couldn't see what I'm drawing so I just decided to start tomorrow

[HANDRO]

cheers to tomorrow.

I remember a power outage happening to me around November last year and I needed to finish a wreath for the holidays.

I crafted with the help of candlelight...it was both strange (I felt like a peasant in medieval times) and "adventurous" (I was afraid of setting something on fire due to my legendary clumsiness).

With digital though, that is just bad luck and no bueno.

Hope the following days are productive and no other outages occur.

[Da_Bingus]

Hi! Thank you very much! But the power is back!

[Da_Bingus]

HELLO! Finally, The power is back so I can start posting every day (this time for real )

So Today I did some shading and I tried my best BUT I have no idea how to draw eyelashes or eyebrows Its so bad that its funny
Anyway It's already 4 AM and I feel tired af so I won't be able to do any eye that looks in different directions but I promise I will do it tomorrow

[Da_Bingus]

I fixed it a bit

[Da_Bingus]

Hello! I did some tracing on eye that looks to the right a bit
Let me know if you spot any mistakes

[Da_Bingus]

I have a question to you guys.

Do you think I'm ready to move onto the whole portrait drawings?

And then when my portrait drawings look somewhat decent I can learn how to draw hair and eyebrows etc.

[LesleyCarol]

You did great, but you stopped a few inches from the finish line again!
Sorry I don't have time write a full thing right now, but let me know if you have any questions.

That's a great idea. I did something similar. Paint a few bald heads/portraits and worry about hair later.

[Da_Bingus]

Hi! np Lesley! your feedback was very useful!

Today I only fixed the shading and tried my best to draw eyebrows BUT.. failed

AND FINALLY! tomorrow I will finally draw some basic portraits Finally will draw something that is a study and fun !! YAY I will start with just some basic portraits and then later on when I'm good enough I will move onto hair I'm so excited!

[LesleyCarol]

For eyebrows it's more about the shadows of the browbone, so the shadows and highlights should be more visible than the hairs themselves. The eyebrow you did on the eye to the left was perfect on the first try, I didn't touch it at all when I did the paintover.

There's a week portrait challenge on Paintable where the creator is making their portrait videos free for a week. There are I lot of good tips and I'm learning a lot. It's over on Sunday I believe, but since you have more time now you might be able to catch up or at least watch the videos. https://paintable.cc/owp-challenge-registration/

[Da_Bingus]

HI there! I watched a couple of Paintable vids and they are very good! I will definitely watch the whole thing!

[Da_Bingus]

Also I was out of town today had to go and buy a new jacket bcs my old one ripped.. but I did draw some simple shapes in the car
Tomorrow morning When I wake up I will definitely draw some "portraits"

[Da_Bingus]

Hello guys! Finaly did some "portrait" studies today I only traced the head let me know if I did it correctly, and if not I would appreciate if you could show me how I should approach the portrait exercises

[Da_Bingus]

And yes I know the line quality is bad. I'm still working On it xD

[Da_Bingus]

Hello! Today I shaded that portrait Tried my best spend about 4 hours on it let me know if you see any mistakes
