"My latest stuff"
 
   Hello all,
Here are my latest drawings. The first is my very first attempt at a portrait. It's a picture of my daughter. I was rather intimidated at trying to get the shading right by blending with stumps and tortillions. Turns out, it was easier than I had imagined it would be. Probably the only obivious mistake is her right eye. It looks to be a little too big. My wife told me to "just erase it".....But I had already filled in with the darker, heavyier strokes. I didn't want to chance messing it up any more. Oh well....My daughter loves it.

The second is a drawing I just finished of one of my favorite NASCAR drivers....Matt Kenseth. I was flipping through a NASCAR magazine and this pic caught my eye. I plan to do lots and lots of NASCAR stuff.

I'd love some critique on my work. Thanks everyone. It's a pleasure to be able to interact with so many talented artists here!!! Take care all..

Tony, try using some bluetack. Even a little light dot would make the eye look better! It wont hurt if its done gently.

   MHK, what is bluetack? Is it an eraser? I have heard of it before but do not know what it is and also where can I get it?
Thanks
ga3

ga3, Bostik Blu-Tack is this gnarly blue stuff. You will find it for example behind the posters..

Tony, you're doing excellent work, especially for having just begun portraits!
Could you at least erase the right part of your daughter's right eye (to make the dark area lighter)? The hair is good.
The second portrait is great, with lots of details! Keep it up!
