Thanks Snizard I mean't to say aswell about creating the image into a black and white version using windows live photo gallery. I found it helps to get the tones better.
Its time like this that I love having such a light laptop :P
It looks great, you haven't over 'cooked' it at all. I definitely prefer the darker, completed piece to the lighter WIP's. It's just a matter of biting the bullet, getting brave and going darker - and 99% of the time, going darker works!

If anyone is interested... I'll be holding another competition for a free drawing via my website. There will be lots more entries this time, but everyone has a chance (a better chance if you send a good, clear, horse head profile, high def photo though!).
you can PM me for info and website link.
Plus I got two more commissions today! Woohoo - of horses of course.
I had an enquiry for a human portrait today which was kinda scary because people are much harder to draw, so I thought I'd try and practise a little beforehand. Can anyone guess who this might turn out to be?..
Hmmm.. kinda hard to see at the moment (that is in no way an insult to your work, its beautiful!). My first guess is going to be Whitney Houston (RIP).
It might have to take a hold actually. I got two confirmed commissions today and another competition coming up via my website and fb page. You know how slowly I work!!! lol
Aww thanks LadyNeigh
Sniz - I always thought I couldn't..... but Ive happily surprised myself. I guess you just have to forget it's a human face and take extra care that proportions are EXACT, because it can make the person's face look totally different if proportions are wrong.
I really hope this ends up looking like Adele though!!! lol It is MEANT to be her.
I havn't tried a human face since Art in school, that was nearly three years ago now. My attempt was awful. Maybe I should try again... or maybe not... :shock:
Anyway, yours looks really great! Can't wait to see it finished!
This is how far I've got with Adele. She still needs more shading on her face. Another 3 commissions requested today and competition entries are still coming in, with another week to go. Must upload some others. I have also been requested to draw a friend's husband :shock:
