First real person computer drawing

[Nameless]

Heyyyyy.........

Ummm, I've done quite a few computer drawings, but this is the first time I've done a real person from a photo.
So some critizisem on how I could improve on it would be nice :smallbiggrin:

The hands were the most irritating part of it, took me ages to get it right. :smallannoyed:

Original photo I interprated from: http://www.knac.com/images/pages/steve_dimebag1.jpg

How do you draw these things? I've seen you draw other pictures as well, a drow from an Eberron book, and I find it hard to judge if you just take the picture and edit it, which would be lame, or if you are a really good artist and if it is the last, I must really congratulate you, this is awesome work.

In most cases I sketch them out first, scan it in a colour it.

An Artists best freind is the smudge, blur and burn tool. :smalltongue:
Without those, This would be the biggest load of shizar :smallbiggrin:

... Unless I had a drawing Tablet :smallbiggrin:

I hate it when my original sketches get thrown away. *looks at mother goose* :smallannoyed:

I see nothing wrong with that picure. Awesome work.

Holy ****e, that's amazing. You could easily get an A if the GCSE retards would accept that computer graphics are a form of art.
