Title: Self Portrait...
Post by: Evil on Wed 08/10/2003 03:17:14
Well, I did a self portrait. It looks a bit like me. Though I am shure if Eric and Trap had a child It would look like this at age 15... :)

I dont plan on changing anything to it itself but any comments or tips would help with others I am doing...

blimey Harry ... what happened to your scar??

I'm just kidding man!  That's pretty good.

I did a self portrait once ... once.

Did you do that just for fun or was it for a class (school)??

For school but I tone out my teacher because he doesnt explain things well... at all... He just makes me more confued. Though, he helped me with the placement of nose and lips which still look wrong.

I failed almost all my art classes in college because I just couldn't listen to the professors.

They kept saying "do it this way ... do it that way" and their way just didn't make sense.  I always would turn in the projects completed, on time, and looking just like they were supposed to but because I didn't do it the way they said, I failed.

Oh well ... what do they know? :)

It's a great start!  Keep up the good work and it'll only get better!

This is real nitpicky stuff, but the pupils look very dark (and indeed big :P) compared to the rest of the picture. Also, what I presume is the shadow of the glasses seems to behave as if there's light coming from two directions, or from the eyes themselves. What I mean is that it [the shadow] is noticably bigger than the glasses. Other than that, though, I have no comments. Real nice.

Harry Potter is two AGSers apparntely.. Nah, just kidding ;)

That's a great drwing evil! drawing on paper is virtually impossible for me, whereas your drawing is very detailed and life-like, apart from what was mentioned about the pupils and he circles around the eyes (then again, these circles would be a great representation of myself with the sleepy look I often have ;)).

well, it's nice and all, but your nose and your throat is like 30 years older than the rest of your face. you're pretty good at shading. :)
