Artist's Comments

This was my first attempt at piecing together scans and it did not go very well. It was a total of six scans (which you can probably pick out in full view). The bottom scans were at a totally different contrast level than the top. Also, I do not understand how it could possibly not line up.

There are quite a few areas I am unhappy with. Not sure adding the trunk of the tree in the background was a good move. The guys head looks too small to me. The actual size should be about right, but it looks goofy. I had to make up the eyes because he was wearing glasses that were not really period. The mane bothers me. I usually do hair shapes and then add individual lines at areas of contrast. I tried doing individual lines.

Any opinions or advice would be appreciated.

I think that you did an excellent job on rendering this out. If you don't like the eyes, maybe next time you can find a magazine picture or something of eyes that you do like as a reference. Great picture!

I can only see the difference in the bottom, where it scanned lighter. It is still a good picture! I like the mane, I see nothing wrong there.
....(shhhhh, but I think it should be "cavalry", not "calvary".......)

Wonderfully drawn! Of course, I love your works anyway. :D Harse are so difficult, and you have executed this extrememy well. Be proud of this. It's fantastic!
I only see the bottom part that is lighter than the rest. I have that same problem when scanning large images. But it is no matter unless your wanting to sell it as print. We all understand how scanning can be. :nod:

Thanks. I will have to try that next time. I am just so used to sticking to my own references and i did not have anything that would work.

I am a horrible speller. I usually try to look stuff up so I do not look like such an idiot, but sometimes I get in a hurry (Bludgened versus Bludgeoned). :slow:

Thanks and thank you for the fav. I do not think my stuff is right to be successful as prints on deviantart, so I am not worried as long as it is not too distracting. I just like the advice I get from people and drawing keeps me sane (well mostly sane).

Even with all the points that you're unhappy with... this is still very good! :)

Thanks and thanks for the fav. It is really big (about 16x20) in person so some of the stuff is more obvious on the original. I look at every drawing as a learning experience, so I do not get as upset as I used to about mistakes. A couple of years ago I probably would have thrown it out. Still cannot hang most of my stuff on the wall of my house. It is like when you paint a room and get a tiny spot on the ceiling. Every time you go in the room your eye is drawn to that one spot until you paint the ceiling. Then of course you get a tiny spot of ceiling paint on the wall . . . :lol:
