my kind of magic aka WIPby *nackmu

deviantART Related / deviantID

Ok, some may had been asking how I work.
Thus, that's how MY kind of "magic" is done:
_{(PS: I increased the contrast & descreased the lightning here in this pic to show you my thin rough lines)}

1st) Being emotionally touched by.... sth.
2nd) Try to get an image of this emotion
3rd) Create a REFERENCE* of this image of #2
4th) Rough copying of my ref
5th) Drawing all the little details on my rough drawn paper
6th) scanning, opneing in PS and erasing all the dust and hair
7th) try to get light, depth, contrast ot nothing changing, whatever
8th) upload and wait patiently for comments, search for answers that meet my emotions or challenges about improvement

Sometimes I skip #3, rarely, but then, you can see it

_{*nothing without a REF!!

PPS: Yes, this new 3rd face on the right is going to be Peeta, isn't it obvious!??? *crazy laughing*}

So basically you get a reference image and copy. Lol... If that isn't the case, then I'm clearly stupid since I still don't understand DX

It depends. Here I did take these roughly copied lines.
Here, I didn't: [link] + [link] You can see that the proportions are not 100% correct in the non-copyied drawings

It's a damn hard work and sometimes, when I wish a pic to be PERFECT in my eyes, I do the lines.
Both bring me closer to get to know proportions better, but I feel, of course, more proud, when I do EVERYTHING on my own (eg working with no ref AT ALL!!) and get a satisfying result

How do you work??

*SizzleLizzle Apr 15, 2012 Student Traditional Artist

I either trace it and freehand some, or get a reference and copy.
Ok I think I get it now XD

*nackmu Apr 15, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Just as me. It's a good combination I think

*SizzleLizzle Apr 15, 2012 Student Traditional Artist

Yeah XD
