    The colors are amazing, I love the contrast between his sharp and bright hair and the really smooth painted bg.

    no worries. as long as u've realized it, u'll take that note for later.

    ah it's good that some people takes crits positively. good for u! sometimes, it takes more than courage to say what u spot although we don't mean any harm, they are being defensive. thank god ur a nice person. i have this habit of speaking what i notice instead of just appreciating the goodness of it.

    but again, this is really good so keep it up!

    I gotta do all on computer because I don't have a scanner. Usually its about 3-5 hours total. I used to take my drawings with a camera but I hardly do that now.

    Thanks for all your comments :)

    Holy Cowpoopy! How long does it take you? (about)
    Your 'still experimenting'? It doesn't look like it at all!!! XD

    Do you do all on the computer then? Or do you draw a rough draft and scan it in.. or both?

    I love how everything is so smooth too! His face is just like silk, and though everything lookes smooth the hair looks so bright and sharp in contrast!!!!!

    Beautiful work and like always I adore your coloring!

    I use a tablet. For this drawing I draw a simple lineart, then shaded the shadows and highlights in grayscale ( black and white) and lastly applied colours on top of the shaded layer. So its like;

    1 - lineart layer (background layer)
    2 - shaded black and white
    3 - colour

    You can always try different styles, and this is just one of them. you have to try and see what's most comfortable for you. I'm currently still experimenting.

    Have fun with your cs! ^^

    That is okay! ^^ Sorry!

    I just got PS cs, do you work with the hues then to give it color... or.. it there a special tool? Do you also work with a drawing board or just a mouse?

    Sorry for all of the Q's, I am just curious and I wanted to try to improve some of my chicken scrach drawings. LOL

    I...I dislike Twilight..and that is the nicest way I can put it <_< I made the eyes yellow to make it stand out, not because I wanted to make it topaz like Edward's..erm if you like Twilight I'm so sorry if I offend you with what I said!! Just wanna make it clear that I wasn't thinking of twilight at all. But you're right, he does look Vamp-ish.

    I use photoshop cs2 to sketch and colour.

    Thanks!

    I think that it is SO Cool that it turned out like this!!!
    Don't get me wrong "L" is Cool, but now he lookes like a vamp. from Twilight!

    I don't know if you like Twilight, but that is what it reminds me of! With the butterscotch color eyes.^^

    If I can ask, What do you use to draw like this?
    It is Amazing art Work you do!!!!!! I love all of your work!!!

    @paperlovecolors:

    Ah, I think I know, it looks like it curves inside right? like this way ) it should have been a bit like ( and a little to thin on the upper side.

    I guess if I add the shaded the muscles properly it would have been correct, but I already flattened the layers in photoshop =_= but I will take care in future drawings :)

    Thanks for pointing that out, I'm glad you take the time to observe and critique!

    Ooooh I loved how you mixed the cool dark colors with some bright warm color for the hair and eyes xD It's very nice and you're getting better at semi-realism *___* <3
