Self Portrait - 2012

Long overdue attempt at a self portrait, I haven’t drawn any portraits for quite some time, and I feel the need to practice drawing people and faces. This drawing was based on a photograph my boyfriend took, it was very windy that day and I was cold O.O

Medium: Photoshop, graphics tablet
Listening to: “The Truth is Out There” – Sonata Artica (Symphonic version)

....Anyone who said I look like a hobbit, I will set my bees upon you...

This is very amazing!!! Could you tell me about how long it took you to do this? Your other artwork is breathtaking as well! I really love this- I am new to deviantart, could you take a look at one of my sketches? I have only uploaded two, and I'm not even twelve, so I'm not near as great as you are!! You have an extraordinary talent!

Thankyou :) It took about an hour to do as it was a speedpaint. Your portraits are rili good! I'd invest in a scanner though so that you can upload them at their best!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!I have a scanner at my grandparent's but I emailed my drawing to myself, saved it, and edited it (straightened and cropped)in Picasa, and then uploaded it here....so it would have looked worse if I didn't...my pants would have been in it or something, I have a VAIO Laptop and I'm currently downloading Sony Vegas and Adobe After Affects so I can have a variety of artwork.... I already use GIMP and some different websites for editing and making photos... How long have you been interested/working/making art? It's been since I was young but I really got off about 2 years ago. and any more advice?

Woah, I think I have been drawing since I was about 2, ever since I could hold a pencil! It's almsost theriputic for me when I draw so it's something I have always done whenever I could. My advice would be just to draw whenever you can, always keep a sketchpad one you coz you never know when inspiration is going to hit you and you just need to sketch down an idea. :)

Thanks, I really have faith that I could get a career in art, I don't think I really ever stop trying... I've been interested in art since I've been able to do it as well... I have several sketchpads and I actually consider them my best friends..thanks again!
