Greetings all! I don't know how many of you web designers are also into traditional drawing, but I know I am.
The phase I'm going through right now is photorealism but I am planning to try different styles in the future.
In a very strange, unrelated way I have also learned SEO and IM (was actually a matter of circumstances).
Anyway, I'm way better at drawing than SEO so I'll just post some of my portrait drawings for you to enjoy:
These are made using charcoal and pastel on white paper. They take a lot more time to do than a simple sketch but the results are also pretty amazing. In fact, I'm having problem with people thinking these are just some photos and not actual drawings :)
Please let me know what you guys think. Feel free to reply.
