When I was in grade one I could draw like a grade 6er. Family was all proud and everything. As years rolled on into high school and well after. I draw like I'm in grade 6. WTF.
What kind of paper did you use? I did the same drawing on my deviantart page (drawdrawrevolution is my screenname if you'd like to see it)
I used black cardstock because it was available and a white charcoal pencil. The cardstock had too much texture, so blending sucked. It was done hastily as it was just an experiment (30 mins). Do you have a brand recommendation for smooth black paper? I don't know what to use for future drawings.
Holy crap that's awesome!!! And it's fascinating to watch!!! and to see it evolve. OMG!!!! I never knew there was sucha thing as white drawing! And I call my self an artist! I should be ashamed of myself! Anyway, um so yeah it's really awesome how you did that! and congrates at getting the nose and lips right those are the tow hardest things to do for me. Awesome job man! :D
this is great! good job! i really need to try white pencil on black paper, doesn't look too hard. but i don't explore enough as an artist, i always stick with regular pencils and acrylic paint x[ but you've inspired me to try it this way! :D
Ur drawing is amazing! I find it difficult to do photographic-like faces- well done. I did a beatles painting and it's in my clip- "My Youtube exhibition." Give it a watch a leave a comment.
Great song-choice for ur clip- I listened to the beatles a lot when i was painting some of the pictures in my clip. one of them is inspired by this song as well.
Actual time?, also the upper part seems unfinished compared with all the work you had on the nose and the mouth, but that's just me and my constructive criticism. Also, it is hard to work with a camera, good job on that.
This is awesome. I have considered doing that paticular picture of John and also considered white drawing, but not for this picture. I love it. I am truly impressed! Great job!! You've inspired me to start a white pencil drawing now. I have white pastels, but I want a sharp tip, I might have to run to the store cos of you, LOL, cheers :)
dude, if you would've just shown the finished picture i would've thought it really was one of those fancy black and white snaps like they have for authors in the backs of hardcover volumes. i wish i had that talent. 5/5
