ShadowMistress's Art - EvBoard

ShadowMistress · 11-24-2007, 04:43 PM

Okay. I must mention that I've never gone to art school or anything and I use my own techniques and methods to draw my pictures.

Following pictures are drawn from 2005 to 2007. Some of them have this copyright-mark on them and that's because these are the only versions I've got in my computer right now. :/

I started drawing portraits this autumn and I think that I've improved a lot with last few months (and I better not show you the first portraits I made

).

This is Amy, at least it tries to. It was drawn one night and I was almost sleeping when I finished it. I kinda like it, tho the right part of the image is blank. I just didn't want to spoil it (as this was the first portrait I was happy with).
--------------------

A scene from 'Sleepy Hollow'. Half of the picture was drawn at school and I didn't had opportunity to look the reference photo. I know that she doesn't have ear hole in this picture but on the original I fixed this problem.
--------------------

I never tried to draw male persons before this picture. So I hope the mistakes are forgivable. :P
--------------------

Ohmegosh, an EYE. I adore eyes. I adore taking photos of them. I enjoy drawing them.
--------------------

An owl. This was drawn in 2005 and half of the shadows have disappeared and the quality is crappy due to the nasty scanner I had then.
--------------------

I don't usually coloured pencils to draw. But this maths lesson was just unbearably boring and so I drew this.
--------------------

Drawn in this summer with Gimp. I used my Trust tablet for this. Note that it's not complete but I just couldn't add anything more to it.
--------------------

Trust tablet, Gimp and some specific brushes were used to make this picture. I'm QUITE happy with it, it's my first finished picture made with tablet.
--------------------

A horse. I usually don't draw animals but I liked this concept and thought I should give it a try.
--------------------

I draw for fun. I enjoy drawing and if I manage to complete something nice, I hope that peolpe enjoy watching my drawings.

Thanks for your attention.

Those are all beautiful! I especially like the one with the horse. Well done and keep it up!

The Amy Lee portrait and the horse are true standouts. Fantastic job. Excellent!

ShadowMistress · 11-28-2007, 01:32 PM

Thanks!

My newest!

Wow I love the soft tones and the eyes

Visual art makes me smile so much!
Your art is beautiful. Do you have a deviantArt account?

That last portrait you posted is fantastic.

Please post more, especially digital stuff.

ShadowMistress · 12-05-2007, 05:36 PM

Thank you!

Yes, I do have da account, I even have more than one.

http://silaynne.deviantart.com/ - this one I don't use anymore
http://sense-less-ness.deviantart.com/ - it's my main account now
(http://looc-os-ma-i.deviantart.com/ - here I upload my traditional art, I don't use it very much)

Anyway, I recently haven't felt like wanting to draw anymore, so I turned back to making photo-manipulations. I enjoy doing them and it's cleaner and a little bit easier to make them than messing with pencils and erasers etc.

you have amazing work!!!

SenoritaLorenzo · 01-26-2008, 10:24 AM

I wish I had your portraiture skills...nice work!!
That male portrait you drew slightly looked like Johnny Depp (thats a good thing) and is that last portrait you drew possibly Kiera Knightly?? Coz it seriously looks like her!
As for your photo manipulations...I'm in love with the little ballet dancer with winter background!
