 :love: :love:  I'm ankle-deep in Morghain's hair at the moment.  I've decided I am going to learn how to sketch hair if it keels me.

Thanks menki :D  I've been trying to get a good image of her in my head, and while I'm not finished messing with her, I'm glad you like her.

Dannae.. I always look forwards to your comments.  I love seeing what you have to say and you're so crazy-frickin-talented that it makes me all warm and fuzzy when you like my sketches. I looked at a gazillion scar pictures, and tried to find any step-by-step things, since I've never quite been happy with them.  Any ideas on how I can make them lighter, but still realistic?

Why thank you  :love:  I'm working on a picture of Morghain right now, and I hope to get a decent head of hair on her xD

OMG... It took me forever to scratch out some hair for this girl! I've got another one in mind that actually uses the braids, but I was a bit scared that I wouldn't be able to draw them, so I... tried this instead. >.<

Possibly quite big eyes, somehow, but ...

Indeed, very elaborate hair. Now you can imagine Albrecht Dürer painting his "Young Hare"...

Gorgeous with the hair! I simply don't have the patience, personally, to take that much time to shade all the strands. The eyes, I agree, are slightly large, but then again that might be true to nolthrir...I dunno, I suppose I imagine since they spend a lot of their lives underwater (in theory) their eyes might be slightly larger in order to see clearly in murkier water.

Wow, that is good artistry. I'm quite impressed. Hawt Nolthrir any day.  :love:

Draw draw draw! I love it all.

Thank you my lovelies  :love:  That darn hair took me weeks to do and all I can think is how part of it looks lopsided >.<

A little suggestion: You could possibly try to work out the gloss in her hair "bundles/wisps/streaks" (what would it be called?); examples: A, B

It was a while ago now, but thought I'd give a try at one of those scars on Tesh to maybe better explain what I meant with that earlier critique how I thought they looked more like tattoos because of being too dark and uniform. I think all it takes is a little drawing with an eraser after laying in the darker overall shape adding some highlights and lights/darks along each edge of the scar to suggest where it might stick out or sink into the surrounding skin. Here's a link of my attempt since you asked for suggestions and I don't want to post art in your thread: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/EtVjGhVb7WO7LIpyfkzO19MTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink

Have to say you make me all warm and fuzzy too reading your return compliments. Gives me something to try and live up to.   X-/

Looks like the last drawing you posted of Morghain took a lot of time and determination. Even though you feel the hair isn't as symmetrical as you'd like, it doesn't bother me at all. Maybe just a few swoops of a big eraser across the hair would add shine like LigH suggests. If you try, don't overdo it though. Only a few places would be enough if that was a look you wanted to go for.

Mhm, this last drawing of yours somehow gave me nudge to try another ballpen scribble ;)

Ahh, umm.


I know years is a bad time to bump things. But Tesh, you're just too good to let rest.

Can I make a request?
