Great job with her expression... and the shading is awesome, drawing something with just pencil is hard (for me anyway), and this looks great.

be ashamed, be very ashamed

@BasicSunshine09:

well do you think your pics are better? if you dont respect an other artist's pic, then your pics arent worth seeing. plz respect an artist and dont say any art is not worth seeing.
of course, practice makes perfect, we all know that, and he IS practicing, working, drawing, trying new styles... thats what makes a true artist!

Well It´s actually a friends portrait .We all call her Miyavi even if that´s not her real name.I loved the shading in this pic even thou I´m not a very good artist when it comes to portraits .Im just very happy with it.Yes it´s a simple picture I didn´t add so much detail since I just had an old picture of Tabi to draw it.Maybe it´s not the best but it´s worth showing to people ,specialy if it´s to make someone´s day happy.I think the artistic critique was good but on the rest you were a little harsh.Please remember to be constructive in critisism and make the artist see their mistakes without hurting their feelings.Also try reading all the caption and seeing the comments ,you would known that it was for a friend.Be welcomed to comment again but please be costructive.

this is miyavi? are you serious? okay, I'm sorry, but this is not good at all. everything is too dark. you ned to work on your value scale. and you need to take your time more. everything looks to simple and scrribled, and the shadows are too flat.
keep practicing, but next time make sure it's worth showing people.

Yeah it´s time for a question :3.Lemme see it is true that a cat at the entrance of the shop with a leg up will mean "Irashaimasen" or good fortune?And why its a cat I mean why not a fortune dog. Wufff wuffff Angel

hey lov the shading!! is simply awesome angel! and the random questions -_-' well nice pic!

you're good at drawing realistic pictures.

OMB!! random questions? :p lol!! so... do i have to think about some or post them here? anyways, i like the shading, and well, realism is REALLY hard to do ^-^ Akatsuki Elite Member: Ichati

wow she looks like me! in a way -=^__^=-

wow youre really getting realistic with your artstyle! impressive i must say, i like the in-depth shading. i hope to see more like this!

Hmmm maybe I should post the picture so you could see the reference.I really like this picture realism is not my hit but still it came good.The easy part would be to draw Miyavi more animistic but I wanted a challenge. Well about my random question to Miyavi.What happens if my name is San and I wnet to Japan.Will they call me San San or something lol.And what if a Europ saint went there and he was also a saint.Will he be called San San san XD .Better say san*3 :P . Angel

Ay ay ay, I'ma just comment on the picture. Not your best but I love the certain softness of the hair and the way you've done the shading on it. It's the mouth that's the main issue. Try and soften that top line, ok? ^^

Ooohhh pretty picture, Miyavi is prettiful :3 Hummmm....does the girl from the grudge really exist over there?..............yeah Kay Bye xD ~Supa Supa
