| Setherial: Portrait a Day |
 Setherial |
I've dedicated myself to drawing at least one portrait a day (at least one that I'm happy with) or die a horrible death where my balls are crushed in a freak accident and I'm left to suffer for at least one hour before the rest of me follows.
If my cousin Jan (http://janopdebeeck.blogspot.com) can do it so can I (I mean dedicate the time to doing this every day on top of everything else, not reach his world class level ofcourse)
Day 1 (yesterday)
Day 2 (today)

hey your cousin drew Milan Kundera! hes Czech!
Nice portraits tho, not really my style tho.
whats up with day 2 face tho? imo the deformation is overdone

using photo refs
here is day 2/caricature 2 (my brother again)
Maybe it's the wine I had at dinner but as far as I'm concirned I'm pretty happy with day 2. I like the deformations on image 1 day 2. The likeness is there (I'm not posting refs because of possible copyright) and the deformedness is IMO refreshing. to me at least :) Most of the time I'm pretty anal about incorectness like this.

Jock: yeah he does now you mention it :)
VKotek: Two of these caricatures are folks from the E-Caricature boards who posted their pics over there for the purpose of drawing them. I would love to do a bunch of maxforums peeps. Everyone is free to send links to their mugshots to "david -a.t- davidopdebeeck -d.o.t- com" and I'll see what I can do :)
cheers guys

Can you draw anyone who doesn't look like they've been smoking crack solidly for the last 10 years ?
(not that I could do better)
Awaits flame ... you want honest crits - you've got one.

advance-software: no
mrgrotey: yeah it's a big deal and I really suck at dedicating myself to anything outside of work being the chaotic, depressed mental disaster that I am. That said I think I'll manage for at least one month. That are a lot of drawings. I estimate I should see a real difference in a time span of less then two months and if so it will have been worth the effort. So lets see if I have what it takes. First goal is end of April! I hope I can count on the encouragement of this wonderful community :)
Also If there is one thing I want to realise in my life then it is to master the skill to draw a flawless portrait that I can be truely proud of and that brings a smile to the face of others.

The first one is so... Wile E. Coyote!
I like your style a lot. It'll be interesting to follow the progression.
