If I remember correctly, the photo of her has the same effect of her head fading into a white background.

This great! I honestly thought: "Hey, this is in the wrong section! It's a photo! :D"
How do you do the shading so well? Do you have a special tool or something, or do you just use your finger or something? I'm not very good at shading. :P
Awesome job!
Thank you, I've been feeling the same thing about realism, 'til I started to really learn about it, and now I just try to get better at it ^^ as VoodooGypsy said, "the photo of her has the same effect of her head fading into a white background" ... and the original drawing is brighter in general, so it's not really fair to comment this lousy scan imo.
you are absolutely right (: I'll se if I can edit and post the ref-picture aswell
Maybe that's why, and it was a very long time ago I was totally active at gfx, maybe you didn't post much then either. Thank you alot mate, I've got a bunch of new pieces I'm cleaning up that I'll post when I get hold of a bigger scanner, 'cause these drawings are bigger
Haha thanks, that's about the best comment you can get when you're drawing portraits ^^
I use cottonpads and a kind of pen that smudges the lines, I'll check the name up for you /edit: they're named blending stumps or "tortillions" . Other than that it's just HB-pencils and erasers
cheers!
*worships*
Well done, I like it.
i didn't think you could get better when you did your vivi but fuck me! this is genius, nice work heroes is ownage and she is gorgeous
i love it! so realistic, i dont like her ears tho, they look smudged, blurred, over lightened and i cant really see them
so realistic tho i love it great strokes, thats amazing, i cant even draw a stick figure
