Jewel Portrait - In Progression this is my second portrait...

Recommended Posts

Hey all, I thought about posting this image when it was all done and i was happy with it however i thought it would be cool to show some progression shots of it. The other reason is if i post the images i may get some feedback and it may urge me to actually finish it and go onto other things.

 

I have been very busy with college for the past couple of weeks and i haven't been very active.

 

I have done the initial sketch and started the chin and shoulders. I decided to do this image in Greyscale for not particular reason really i just like images in Greyscale :D.

 

Anyway, her name is Jewel and i think i saw her image somewhere in a magazine or something. I hope you like what i have done so far.

Good start. Be carefull with your values though. Blocking it in all in one pass like that is tough and for a lot of people who try that, they find themselves with a pretty flat image. I recomend using a base coat to build depth up from. That way you're not forced to make all of your decisions on the fly and you have a good idea of what you want your final image to look like.

Thankyou for all 2 of you replying lol. really thanks. Thank you for your comments lacking_imagination and ndhill.I haven't done the eyes properly as it is just a basic sketch so i didn't add any great detail, but hopefully they will turn out fine :D.ndhill thanks for the comments. I occasionally use a base coat to build up depth like you said, but for some reason i didn't use one this time. I do not find it hard to do it without it though, and i seem to get a non-flat image at the end.I am still practicing as this is only my second portrait so hopefully i will improve if i keep doing more and more.I'll upload another version, probably when it is complete.thanksoverture.
