Just wanted to say that that was freakin' awesome! I love the shading especially- it's impeccable! Just wanted to ask how you blended it? Or, if you just used a whole bunch of color shades instead of blending. I've used Prismacolor a lot but, sadly, I've never gotten it blended very well.
All in all- Props to you! It's an amazing work of art
@writerchick1692 thanks! :D yeah i love prismacolor bc i can blend easily with it. so what i do to blend let say the skin for example i lightly put on the peach color, everywhere the skin in supposed to be, in one direction.then i get the white color and and go over the peach in little circular motions so that it blends (but not too hard so you can add more shading easier) then to make shadows i mix sienna brown w/ peach (for darker shadows mix both w/ dark brown) so a bunch of color shades lol
@ccstefsoccer4 oh- okay lol. Like I said I was wondering how you did that. I mostly work with charcoals and ebony myself so I like being able to blend with my fingers or a paper blender. Kimberly water color pencils actually blend really well, too. However, I will be sure to try that next time I use prismacolor and need to blend, so thanks =)
@HeidiNoel1 i dont think youtube comments let me post links but i have a flickr with the same username as my youtube name and i have a set of photos that are my livelavalive art n_n
This is ridiculous! (In the best way possible. Haha.) Truly, wonderful. Are you attending an art school/have you attended classes? Or is this just something you've gotten good at in your free-time? Regardless! Wonderful!
i taught myself how to draw and i took some art classes in high school and i've taken some in college but i'm not at an art school (i go community college). next year i'll probably switch to an actual university but probably not an art school (cuz they are expensive) but rather a school that is known for their art program.
@Silvija96 i used Prismacolor color pencils. n_n i could try to do a tutorial idk how well that will turn out lol. I taught myself how to draw so I do have any links to ppl who draw like me.
Wow, you are incredibly talented. This is a gorgeous picture of Shawna and Tessa! Could you scan it and put a link to it somewhere so I can print it out and stare at it, like, forever?!
I love Nanakitty, and this is a perfect tribute to them. You are so incredibly talented. <3
@uchissk thanks! :D i used Prismacolor color pencils. I'm going to use Gallery Artist Soft Pastels to do the background bc its unfocused and pastel is the easiest way to make something look blurry n_n
@TheLifeinRO thanks! i know right!! i saw the pic on facebook and i was like "must. draw." i've been wanting to draw/ color tessa's hair since she made it orange. its beautiful.
@ohhellotherestranger i'm drawing it on illustration board and i'm using Prismacolor color pencils. when i get to the background im gonna use Gallery artist soft pastels so it will be easier to make an unfocused backround
