 lilem - 31/07/09, 15:50 reply
Well then...you're amazing!!!! How did you draw the hair?!!! It looks darker than a "normal" coloured pencil, 'dunno. Maybe mine is bad quality. Then again, I might not be so good an artist as you are. :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

 blanco - 01/08/09, 01:38 reply
I'm sure You are, the kind of things You use to draw helps too, for example, I think I couldn't have achieved that effect in the hair by just using the prismacolor black pencil, so I used a derwent pencil, which is more creamy. I tried using the white color to put some light on it, but it didn't work, so I used the silver color. I think sometimes creativity is very useful. :) :hi:

 lilem - 01/08/09, 18:54 reply
Yeah! hahaha maybe that's it!! I lack creativity!!!! mmm interesting...just kidding!! hahahha :laugh: Thanks for your piece of advise. Honest!! Thank you!!!! By the way, your drawings are undoubtly far better than mine all the same, no matter what pencils I use. :ok: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

 blanco - 02/08/09, 00:35 reply
Sorry, that's not what I meant :sweat: I've seen Your portraits and I have to say that I disagree with You. You are just being kind aren't You?

 lilem - 03/08/09, 15:33 reply
I might be kind, but not a hypocrite! When I say you're a great artist I really mean it!!! Ah! y por cierto, ahora que he visto que eres de México creo que no es necesario recurrir al inglés para entendernos, no? jajajaja :laugh: De verdad, me encantan estos dibujos!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

 blanco - 31/07/09, 04:14 reply
Thank You very much! I use a paper called "marquilla", here where I live. I don't really have a lot of options You know, but it works for me. :hi:

 Angie.shy - 01/08/09, 23:23 reply
Thank you for answer. It looks like very smooth paper although I don´t know the brand.

 blanco - 02/08/09, 00:22 reply
Don't worry, I've seen your drawings and I think the paper You use Is just fine. Is it Bristol paper? :)

 Angie.shy - 02/08/09, 21:19 reply
Thank you for complimant. But no, I used to use ordinary paper from stationery. But recently I started to use Daler & Downey Heavy Weight paper. It is quite smooth as well but it has a bit touch of yellow.

 blanco - 03/08/09, 00:17 reply
That brand is not available where I live, but It seems to me You work excellent on it :hi:

 blanco - 01/08/09, 01:58 reply
I think the secret is in mixing the colors, using a very sharpened point (I use the sharpener a lot, that's why I always run out of some colors very quickly) and looking after the details. I also kind of "study" the facial features of the person I'm drawing. :xp:
