Ha ha, that's great!
~*~*~
Here's a picture of Lily, seventh year, from my story The Pursuit of Sappyness.
It is done in pencil crayons on yucky paper and was a quick sketch...it only took me about an hour, which is short for me, as my portraits usually take about 20 hours (like 'Siriusly Charming'). Character Commentary
Lily: Yeahh, that's me.
Marlene: Looking away at Potter, no doubt.
Lily: Ha ha, very funny.
Alice: How pretty you look, as always.
Dorcas: You're so photogenic and I hate you for it.

That's a really good potrait! :o
and you did this in one hour? man, that's quick!
The colours are used so well... skin tones look great 
I liked the shading of the hair the best *nods*
Great work!

Great work! Ha ha, it was quick for me, considering how long it takes me to do others. Glad you like it!
Ha ha, yeah, totally! I'm glad she came across that way, because I wanted her to be like that.

Hey there, your art is awesome. 
i love your drawings of Sirius and Lucius. 
your tutorial about shading is great, but do you have any special tricks for shading in human portraits? especially their faces, it's always a little tough for me.
i'll definately check in more often.

Hmmm...maybe I should make a tutorial for that. I don't know if there are many techniques I use for shading a face, though. I just...do it.  If I gather enough instructive info for shading a face, I do it, though. Thanks for the idea!

I drew this piece, 'Queen Hatshepsut', at my campsite when I was camping last week. It took me...er..I think 2 hours or so. I used pencil. She really wasn't supposed to by Egyptian, but I decided halfway through sketching that she should be.
I'm not particulary pleased with this one, but ohh well.

heads01, it would be good if you posted comments rather than advertising your thread. Advertising could be done through your signature.
Christian, this drawing looks really cool the shading is very realistic. I like how the cheekbones are shaded and stuff. You could have done more work with the hair coming down from the snake crown thingy (I don't know what's it called, lol  )
but anyways, the drawing is very cool, it looks realsitic. great shading!

Hey, Christian. i haven't been here in a while. I love the new drawings. I absolutely adore Galadriels eyes back on page one. I love Lily. Her hair is beautiful and her eyes are exactly the righ shade of green.
'Queen Hatshepsut' looks like Cleopatra. Beautiful cheekbones and the shading on the face is great. I do agree you should've worked out the ahir more though.
Can't wait to see more.
Aya

Thanks for the feedback! I do agree with you about spending more time on the hair; hence why I wasn't particularly happy with this piece. I don't know what the snake headress is called either. O_o But the Egyptians always wore them, it seems!

Aya Thanks!
Yeah, she does. I just chose 'Hatshepsut' because she was the first ruler of Egypt to pop into my head. ^^ Thanks for the comments!

Ha ha, I had the most fun with her eyes...as eyes are my favorite to draw. ^^
Yeah, she'd fit into many of the ancient civilizations...but I chose to make her Egyptian after I put the eyeliner and snake on her.

Hey everyone!
Here's a really quick sketch I did a while ago. It's just the basic sketch and outlines, but it was too annoying so I ditched it. But tell me who you think it is...

Aww, thanks!
Ehh, it was too small and evil.  Sorry, it's not Lily Potter! It's based on a real person...

I think that drawing of Emma was great. I saw right away that it was her. Great job on the eyes. you should have continued. Ido understand your frustration though. I don't like drawing on small paper aswell. I only do it when I don't have a choice, like when I'm not home.
Hope to see more soon.
Aya
