Finally finished this portrait of Nick. This one represents him better than the first. [link]

His hair is longer, his eyelashes are taking front stage, and I love this pose. Yes, he actually posed for me while I took this pic.

He said he felt nervous and never had done this before.

I told him, "Act natural, do whatever, there's no problem because I don't know what I'm doing either."

I kept clicking and he did a wonderful job acting natural.

Before I knew it, he put his arm up to ruffle his hair...I said, "Stop! Don't move. I like it!" Click, flash, and here's the evidence.

(9x12 marker paper) 2HB-9B pencils and kneaded eraser. Done with reference. Freehand-no ruler, scales, just eyeballing.

I love the way he looks. I hope I did him justice. I noticed right away that he reminded me of Edward. :)

This is okay.

Damn! I'm such a bad liar. I'm speechless, in a good way :)

:bow: :blowkiss: Thanks so much, Nikki. I do it layer by layer, stroking in the direction of the hair and darkening it each time. It's all a labor of love, which gives me the endurance and patience to follow through.

Hey, I love the picture of you and your step brother. You are gorgeous and he's a charmer! :)

Your welcome! I hope one day I can draw as good
as that :blush:

Oh, thank you so much! Haha, guess what,
I'm bending my knees and he's on his toes. :rofl:

:rofl: Yeppir! I can see that. You're a tall young lady. I'm like 5ft and 3inches. You'll tower over me.

If you ever have any questions, I'll be glad to give you drawing tips.

Hehe, I'm taller than my mum and dad!
Their jealous xD

Umm... yes! I do.
How do you make the skin so soft looking,
the texture is amazing! I have tried doing
real life drawings, but their skin is
never that smooth, and the hair I draw is
just lines, there are no highlights :cries:

Nikki, as far as tracing. That's mean for practice...it'll give you better knowledge on how to "see" for freehanded type art. I don't use any tracing tools for Twilight art, Nicks portrait. I hate those, but for commercial art, they come very hand cuz they're quicker to get the job done. Or they're good for scaling your own artwork. Whew! This is too much writing. :giggle: :hug:
