Shall I leave the face?

I think I may have finished the face... Not sure, but I'll check with miss to see what she thinks.



If I've finished the figure I'll move onto the background and make it all black. Still tossing up whether I should put tone in the shirt too...

Refining... Again -_-

Further refining lolz... It's actually pretty good now! Just that right eye I may need to work on. I've been mainly focusing on that area and it is extremely difficult. Perhaps a little more work on it and I'll finish the drawing off entirely, and next move into some interesting effects!!! xD



Note: I accidentally cast a shadow over my work in taking the picture.
As whole looking good xD

Trying to Refine...

Smoothing it out now, still trying to add the smaller details.



Whole picture, yeah when I took it, it was kinda not straight lol.

Progress has declined...

Argh!!! It's killing me now... I'm so close yet sooo far away! The intricacies of the face are very difficult... Plus it doesn't help using an overhead sheet to look at the tone. I had a look at the original picture too but it's in colour and very dark so I can hardly see the tone, and to add to all that the size is blown up so it's deceiving when I try to copy it.
A note on the equipment- The smudging tool has been so difficult to use. Every time I use it, it removes the charcoal rather than smudging. So annoying...



In the close up of the face, you can see that the left side is much more refined due to the absence of highlights. Getting the shadows and highlights right in the right side of the face has proven difficult. Points for noticeable expression on the face xD



An overview of my work shows that I'm beginning to darken up around the figure and filling out the door. I love my door... How about I cut the rest and keep the door? : p

Art Fun xD

STAY AWAY!!! I'm Dirty... :(




Grrrr!!! Art Attack!!! Hehehe xD




I seeeeeeeeee yooooooooouuuuuuuuuu....

I was focusing on the door here, and in particular the knob. Also Started to darken up around the door and arm just to see how the figure and the door contrasts to the background.



Focusing on the door knob and beginning to tone it up therefore its beginning to show depth.

Developing 1st Piece from BOW

Coming along, I'm liking the progress. You can see the area where I am having difficulty; the eye on the right, and the lips but I will continue working on them till I get what I want.



Hehehe looks like I'm pouting!!!
