Artist's Comments

- Tanya Allen

Charcoal, pencil, q-tips and toliet paper

I am going through an artist overload, so much so that I can barely keep track of all my thoughts and ideas. So, in order to try to find my focus, I decided to do this portrait. This portait is significant to me because almost a year ago, I drew this same picture and it was one of my very first deviations. At that time, I had not drawn for almost 10 years. So, this portait is a way for me to see how I have improved, where I am at now and what areas I still need to improve to be able move forward.

Here is the link to the first picture. [link] :blush:

Here is the reference: [link] I obviously still have a lot to improve. I am pretty happy with the progress that I have made, but I am determined to work harder.

Not to be too offensive, but that original isn't very easy on the eyes. :XD: But its still feasible considering the time in between. Sei likes this one much more. Tanya looks so cute and cuddly. The eyes came out nicely, it could belong on a child's face because of its 'Ooooo, really?' factor.

Hahahaha! I know what you mean about that first picture. I was almost too embarrassed to post it. I have been trying to get my friend Monica to draw and she finally drew a picture that was actually pretty good for her first time. She of course did not think that it was good, so I pulled out that first portrait to show how she can improve with a little practice and needless to say, she felt a little more confident about her own picture after viewing mine. :lol: I still did not do the picture justice, but at least now it does not look like some fourth grader drew it. I think now I may be at junior high level. Hehehe!

:wow: Oh my gosh, after seeing the first pic and then looking at this version, I see you've really improved a great deal! You can see it especially in the eyes and hair. Now just think of how good you'll be at this time next year? ^^ You should be very proud! :clap:

Thanks! That first picture is so embarrassing, but I remember being so proud of it when I drew it. :lol: In about a year (it is actually a year in May) I will probably draw this picture again to see what I still need to work on.

It looks so amazing realistic, and that much improvement in just one year makes me a bit jealous :aww:

brings an end to the eternal night now
in the widening dawn of this Garden.
