Thanks goes out to my wonderful master Zonoma because she got me thinking about doing fanart in the first place. You all should go over and visit her art (it's amazing) and read all her stories (they're amazing too) Thank you Master hugs


Here's my first drawaing it's of Syal Antilles Fel. The picture was taken from the Japanese cover of Refugee. It's all in pencil.

Syal Antilles Fel

I'd love for any ideas on how I can make my drawing better.

I love the work and thought you put into Syal's hair and the shading of her clothing. I can't believe you draw and write great fiction! I am impressed, my young apprentice.

I'll second the hair thing - it's beautiful. I really like the shirt, too.

can i third the Hair thing? raised_brow
i'd say you've done a good job with the shading, contrasting isnt 100% Used on her skin, but i think that brings a great sense of design AND balance to the picture (seeming as her goun is black)

Honestly, princess,

I am beginning to think that you should post a series of studies (just edit them each into one post on the thread) so that you can share your progress as you grow. I would enjoy watching that and it may help someone else learn something, too. What do you think?

Zonoma- I love the work and thought you put into Syal's hair and the shading of her clothing.

Thanks I put alot of work into her hair. The dress was easier. draw it and color it black

I can't believe you draw and write great fiction! I am impressed, my young apprentice.
blush Gee thanks

ladylaurel18- I'll second the hair thing - it's beautiful. I really like the shirt, too.

Thx like I said to Z it took alot of work. Now we need to get you to do FanArt and then Meg mischief

labpizza- can i third the Hair thing?

Sure can't hear praise too much wink

i'd say you've done a good job with the shading, contrasting isnt 100% Used on her skin, but i think that brings a great sense of design AND balance to the picture (seeming as her goun is black)

Thx I was having trouble with the shading and the contrasting. It's something I'm just going to have to work on.

Great work grin Even though the person on that cover was Danni Quee but to be honest in the first place I thought it was Syal too happy

Keep up the good work happy

Briman- Nice work, P_M!
Thanks grin

Corellian_Rogue-Great work! There's not much Antilles (either Syal or Wedge) artwork around here so its great to see such a beautiful picture!

Thanks. I'm glad you liked her. Although so I hear from Chimpo it's actually Danni.

I am in avid fan of beautiful and dynamic hair and it looks gorgeous, well done! Great to have another new face around the Fanart board.

Thanks again. I intend to be sticking around for a while.

Chimpo_the_Sith- Great work Even though the person on that cover was Danni Quee but to be honest in the first place I thought it was Syal too
Your joking! It really is Danni? figures. I thought it was Syal. Thanks for letting me know.

Keep up the good work
Thanks next time I'll make sure I know who I'm drawing

How did I miss this thread?!
doh!

This is a beautiful portrait, Princess_Melissa! And as to your comment: next time I'll make sure I know who I'm drawing--sometimes that's the fun of drawing characters that don't show up too often: you get to make them look any way you want, lol! wink

I, on the other hand, do that with everyone I draw, lol! tongue

I love the soft quality of this, in the lines and the shading--soft, but well-defined. I especially like how you rendered her hair, and--this is going to sound silly--her mouth: her lips look very real, the shine, the shape. I myself am learning that shadowing on the features can be really critical to making them look real (a browse through the threads of HanSolo29, Your_Worshipfulness and the marvelous Aurelia will illustrate my point here! Their portraiture is to-die-for!), and you've done a great job here!

I'd love to see more of your drawings--keep on posting!

FF

Thanks again. The shading was the thing I was most worried about I'm glad it turned out okey.

I'd love to see more of your drawings--keep on posting!
Thanks I'll be posting another picture in just a minute.

Fot the last couple of weeks I've been doing a study on eyes. I played around with different eye shapes and stuff. Anyway, how better to end that study than to draw the icon we have here of Jaina's eyes from Dark Journey.
