Artist's Comments

So a lonnnnnggggg time ago, like when I first joined DA, I had asked :iconjaatzi: if I could use her picture "Timeless Dreams" [link] for the subject of a drawing. And I forgot. (sorry)

But the other day, I was going through some of the notes and stuff from the past...(god did I sound dumb in some of them) and came across the one I had sent to her. She gave me permission, and I sure hope it's still ok to do so...cause I started it finally.

About 5 or 6 hours so far...but still a long ways to go...

Enjoy..

Matty

5 or 6 hours. wow u spend alot of time on art.
:iconmattyrich:
Yeah..on average I spend between 15-25 hours on each piece...depending on the details involved. (I have one, Darling Nikki, i think took about 35, and You're Beautiful around 40...) Just takes that long for me I guess because I'm really trying to concentrate on building up layers of dark and light shades and building a drawing that way now...I'm hoping eventually that I'll get that down and not take as long..but it's just practice for the next "Great One" I like to think...

how big do u do urs? cuz i do mine on just regular sketch paper and usualy take about 2 to 3 hours worth on each one (its hard to tell exactly cuz i hafta fit my art in around school, hw, chores, and babysitting) Also lookin at ur wips u seem to do them difernt then me.... i do a general outline then shade all the darkest parts, then move up to a darker pencil and shade the darkest and then some of the lighter... rele the darkest i usualy ever end up using on pix is b or rarely a 2b. urs on the other hand seem much darker then mine.

i dont kno its just kinda interesting to see how other ppl do their drawings
:iconmattyrich:
Most of my drawings are 9x12....only because that's the size of my scanner, and I don't have a digital camera. (yeah, i'm the guy without one) But I do my line drawing with a b pencil as light as I can...then start with a 2b..and normally use from a 3b-7b for the dark areas. If I have to go really dark, I have 9b pencil as well..but if i don't want to have it all "shiney" (as graphite can do) I'll use charcoal instead. The thing about going darker is just confidence. I had this big fear of going too dark, and not being able to fix it, but eventually you'll do one, make it dark, and love how it looks. if you are just using a 2b, you can get just as dark..just takes lots, and lots, and lots (did I mention lots and lots) of layers.

i just use mechanical penicil... the darkest i have in that is 4b i think....

actualy i dont rele like doin pix dark.... i do mostly lighter then i do the pupils of the eyes rele dark to draw attention. and ya i do lots and lots of layers cuz i figure its easier to add then take away
