Real Life Portraits

[der Astronom]

Since all my exams are over, I have some free time now, and I'd like to draw some portraits now. If you would like your portrait (or you have a portrait request of someone else) you'd like me to draw, please post here and provide a photo reference. I'd prefer photos with larger resolutions, if at all possible.

Sorry the pic is kinda sucky, but it was the best I could do (from last year ouch )

Feel free to make the nose smaller

 

[Bambi]

I'd like one aswel, although Il don't think i have any decent pictures....Im not smiling on any of them

Yet again it's this one....I just like my hair on it xD

 

[Contra Fates]

Ooh, this could be interesting! I've never had anyone draw a picture of me. Here's a few shots:

Hopefully one of those is good enough. ^^;

 

[Serah]

I truly want to take advantage of this, but I don't want you to feel obligated or that I'm forcing you to draw me. I just love your work, so if you have time, this picture would be greatly appreciated:

I hope that's high enough resolution. If not I can make it bigger.

Sorry this took so long, but it wasn't easy and I was making a flash movie at the same time.

Wow! Just wow! You are extremely good at this. They almost look somewhat like scanlines with great details, but you really managed to make them look real.

Haha speaking of which, I still have to finish Bambi's portrait, which is the same one that you also did. xD (Bam, I swear I'll finish it soon! I've been slacking. xD)

Anyway, keep up the good work! I might bust out a picture if you don't mind. =]

 

[Miss Valentine]

*jumps on Angelus* wow that's completely AWESOME!!!! Thankyou sooooo much, they all look great, so real!!

You have quite the talent there, keep up the great work I'm sure the others will be as happy with their pics as I am with mine ^^

 

[Bambi]

Haha wow Angelus, they are really good!

I love my pic, you captured my miffedness perfectly!!

Keep up the good work!

 

[Serah]

Wow these all look extremely awesome! I really like mine! Keep up the awesome work. You really are amazing when it comes to this kind of stuff.

 

[Contra Fates]

Those are gorgeous! I wish I was as talented as you are with drawing. Thank you a lot, I really, really like mine, never had someone draw me before. ^^;

 

[Kermit the Frog]

Those are AMAZING, Angelus. You are very gifted in sketching potraits. I might as well post up a picture for you to sketch for me. I'll put up this one :


Minus the backround please. I hope it's not too bright for you, and keep in mind to shade in the bit of my hearing aid that slightly appears to show under my left side of my hair.
I hope you make a great artist one day!

 

[Erythritol]

<_< Is this open to critique? Anyway, I really love the way you shade things. I can't figure out how to shade like that for the life of me. I really love that sketchy feel. Your shading is spot on. The only thing that needs a little work is some of the facial features that are a little off in some of the more complicated/difficult perspectives.

 

[der Astronom]

I can't figure out how to shade like that for the life of me.

Well, you just shade in one direction with strokes as long or as short as the region you're shading and vary the pressure according to the amount of shading you want there to be. It's actually a really simple concept, compared to say, something like this: http://cataclysm-x.deviantart.com/art/Death-Note-L-83145184 (this isn't mine)

There are certain artists that like to use smudging, though I've been told it warps the paper, and should be avoided. It's not a terrible thing though; I've seen people use smudging, and their sketches turn out quite nice, but I don't use them in my sketches.

Wow! You got a lotta talent Angelus! Can you work some of your magic on a picture of me please?

 

[der Astronom]

Sorry this took forever, but I've been busy. Surprisingly, this actually turned out pretty much the way I wanted it to.

Bahamut's_Heir, I'll get around to yours eventually. Just be patient.

 

[Fusilli]

That picture of Amelia looks so good! Well, they all do ofcourse, you're amazing at drawing. If I can find a decent non-blurry picture of myself then it would be great if you could draw one of me if you have the time.

 

[625 Loveless]

What a cool thread lol. All your sketches are right on Angelus. Let's see if you can handle THIS!!! (lol you don't have to do it if you don't want to). It would be nice to see though!

Very clean, intelligent looking work.
