Schedules and such

I think I missed a deadline here... Hopefully no-one will notice since I did two pictures last week to compensate. There's not a whole lot to say about this week's piece. I want to get better at drawing faces, before I can concentrate on drawing other parts of the body. I think I got the basic outline of the face rather well this time. The eyes need more work. The hair appears to jut out from behind the ear. I think I should do a purely grayscale piece one of these days where I'll concentrate more on the face and less on everything else. Anyway, here it is.

Humble beginnings

So I watched a tutorial at Youtube on how to draw a basic portrait. The result of today's effort is this... mutant thing. Yes, she is female (I think). The eyes were pretty fun to play with. I had the most trouble with the mouth, though. I almost cheated by cutting and pasting the mouth area to different locations, but felt somehow dirty afterward for doing so. Thus the mouth stayed where it was. I also touched up the background for the first "Tools" picture, because I felt it was rather plain. On another note entirely, I've decided to abandon the use of Corel Painter Sketchpad for the foreseeable future... Far too plain in it's functionality for my tastes.
