Portrait of Madi© Maria T Martinez 7/24/2011
By special request.
a Fellow deviant. I hope you like it.This is the second set of teeth I draw. I was a dozy! I try to stay away from it because I am not too familiar with drawing them. So I hope they don't look too weird.
Anyway I tried my best Madi!

I love the details of some hair flying across her face. Most artists will definitely try to erase it. But u didn't. It creates realistic image.

Hello Jessie!
Hope you are doing well. Thank you for your compliment of my work. There are some tutorial you can search for here and also on youtube. Check out this deviantart artist [link] she has some very good tutorials that you can practice on. Most of all I practice every single day. I have used all of my friends as test subjects. LOL! Trying whatever new tricks or tips that I learn. I use a program called gimp. You can download it for free. [link] I don't have photoshop.
Here is a tutorial for the Gimp program that might interest you. [link]
Plus a wacom tablet called Bamboo.Something else I've learned is to start with a large digital canvas, such as 3000 pixels and up. Depending how much detail I need to do on that particular painting. By making it that large you can really get nice and close and very detailed for the eyes and lashes. Once you zoom out you can see how great it looks.
There is also a tutorial club here as well. I just found it the other day but I haven't joined yet. I have been fortunate to get tips from artist here as well.
I hope I have been able to help with the information. Don't give up!
Regards,
Mari

Mari-
Thanks so much! Your links look like they will help me out a lot. Especially the site with video tutorials. I use gimp as well, your right it is a really good program, but I have only been digitally painting for about three months now. So any help from artist I will gladly take. You have been most helpful, so thanks again.
