Another one of my sketches. This one has turned out really well, my scanner has not done a too bad job on this one.:D
When viewing it, keep it large and copy and paste it to your computer for best results:) ;)
I really hope you like it, Anita is one cute dog:D and i really enjoyed sketching her. Give her hugs from me:D
Wow that is awesome! Let me know if and when you are ever taking requests ;)
Right now if you like! Could possibly get yours done tomorrow, but otherwise after Christmas;) you can post a pic or pm me one:)
Oh thank you! Here's my Roscoe:

Wow, you're very talented! Thank you so much! :D I'm sure that Anita loves it too... I'm gonna give her some hugs from you...
Here is the sketch of Roscoe, i managed to do it tonight, but i'm very tired as it's nearly midnight, so i'm off to bed. Goodnight PT!;)
Those are great, you have a very cool style...
Thankyou, like the word 'cool'......:)
Wow thank you so much - I absolutely love it!
I'm so glad you like it. If anyone else wants one then you can post it and i can probably have it done by tonight:)
Looking good!
All you need to do is push the contrast -- meaning make more darker darks and more lightest lights! You're doing AWESOME though!
Attached is a Beagle that I did and got the world's worst scan on. At the top, the light reflected too much off his head, making the contrast of shadows and light seem dull. The contrast is accurate at the bottom where there is more white. Its almost like two drawings in one -- one with a good amount of strong highlights and deep shadows, and one where all the values are flat. Hope this helps you see things a little clearer. I always wished someone poited things out to me like this when I was starting, because it took a long time for me to figure it out on my own.
Wow that sketch is brilliant! I'm just 13, so i'm not really that experienced in sketching, but thanks for the tips! I'll try to use them to the best of my ability!
Like I said, you've got a good base there. Use your kneeded eraser to "carve" out highlights, and use your 9B pencil to create deep shadows. Here's the portrait with the contrast enhanced. Noticed how it pops and has more dimension? the face comes forward now. You can do it! The point you stopped at is what I consider my halfway point. If you keep pushing the darks darker, and using the kneeded eraser to make the lights lighter, you'll be there!
Yeah, i see, thanks sooooooooo much!!! I will try it when i get another sketch:)
What i tend to do is 'over blend' with my tortillon so that the darker points become merged with the lighter ones:rolleyes:
thats fine. I couldn't live without my blender. but once its all blended, go back in and add all the darks again, and carve out the lights.
