It's actually light brown and much more messy, but I'm lazy.

Looks like SoB will win...however, even though I support Helm's opinion's most of the times, I think I'll go for Dodonpachi. If that's how you spell it.

How don't know if you consider John Siger Sargent an old master, so I figured I should ask before I get to the boring part of the picture (the hair, I mean)...This is where I've gotten so far:
The original image is a simple black and white scketch, but I intend to take it a step further and give it some colour. Right now I'm only blocking the basics and trying to get the values right...
I don't remember where I got the reference from but I'll post later

Curiously, I got into pixel art while searching for desktop icons, which is enough to demonstrate how serious I am about it.
Fun. That's all I want from pixels. If I'm not having fun, then I won't pixel. The End.

Pixel Art / Re: Having trouble with portraits
« on: August 06, 2006, 06:41:02 pm »
Similar shading? Only if you want it. But if you're practising portrait-making, but you don't want your image to look like the one you're copying then it won't be a great practice, since the the whole point of making a portrait is depict someone as close to her real look, right? (this also applies to changing the details on the face and nose.
From my experience, the really important thing when making portraits is to be able of distiguishing the features that diferenciate that particular person from all others. The shape of the nose, opening of the eyes, size of the lips, etc...these and all other features are diferent in every person. All you've got to do, and, unfortunately, it's not that easy, is to find what features, among each and everyone, make that epole special.
Anyway, I did an edit for you. It is not yet rendered, but if you wish you may do that yourself. It's mor to show you where you failed volume-wise.
