I can't believe it...I made that exact same expression after reading Eragon. I think it's my life goal to publish a better book than his and force him to succumb to a crazy nerd spaz.
(Great helpful tutorial, by the way...as always lol) ^_^

Oh my god,this is so awesome that I want to put it as a private file on photobucket,print it,and use it as an irl reference forever....you are an amazing artist,especially at making your people come to life with expressions!
Have you ever made a perspective tutorial?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks XD Well I'm thinking about publishing them all in like a lulu.com book, so maybe you can have it as a desk reference at some point... and no I haven't, but *HOON has a great one.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yay!I would love to buy that book if I could but my parent's would be all ">
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol yeah, I have to think about what I want to put in there... I might leave out the naught bits, I don't want it to be too alienating.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah,a censored version would be perfect.There's nothing too wrong in it except the nipples and the well....lower regions of a girl.Pretty much that's all that is alienating~

heh, well this is something to look forward to while practicing, just yesterday I was trying to make this "hey, get outta my face" kinda angry look, and I got "oh dear god get that 20 inch stick out of my ass" look... saying that I was disappointed would be an understatement.

lolll Well, keep trying XD I should post a tutorial of what not to do, with my millions of crappy drawings that people don't get to see...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If you could, that would be immensely beautiful... and very incriminating, due to the crappy drawings.
Maybe not too crappy, eh?
