    Saving up for a tablet would be the best bet and following a lot of tutorials Mouse digitally (/slightly) and tablet digitally (yet another example of a neglected oc)
    I do sometimes, I should do more but never mind, and for me it does take less time traditionally too.

    We'll all keep getting better~ I want to do digital, but I don't have a way... Digital always has such beautiful and smooth coloring... Oh well... You do a lot of tradition too right? I seem to see that that takes less time...

    thanks, all I can say it's progress, only very few are ever very good at the beginning without any practice, I mean I'm still improving, I'm a lot better than I was this time last year and year before so just keep at it, 'kay

    Thank you very much chi, his skin tone is meant to be porcalin but I could of added a bit more colour to it. This is the first time I’ve done it digitally and it’s so much harder and thanks again

    Yeah, I want do more of these, well once I get better and the more I practice , and I really like the realistic portraits you draw, especially Sherlock and the little pencil one of David Tennant. And Thanks ^^
    I’ve heard of lasso but a mistake with my layers happened and so a shading layer marge with the base, and thank you for the advice :D I’ll use them for future drawings ^^
    Well because it’s so complicated, I feel it hasn’t turned out as well as I’d of liked, but I suppose that’ll teach me to practice using an OC with a simpler hair style, but I’m glad that you like it ^^
    It’s fine :)

    There's nothing I can say that Mangy hasn't covered already... But I really love the eyes and the hair! I think they look fantastic! The skin seems a little lifeless to me, but I love it! And his smile is so cute! I think you did a wonderful job~ Realism isn't easy I could never even attempt it so you did very good! <3

    I like it! I can tell you tried hard and I've always loved the concept of drawing anime people in realism!!! (or real people in anime too xD) I think you did a super job with him!! I know what its like to feel disappointed more and more as the work goes on, but I think thats partially since you've been seeing the whole progress... When I just see this, I'm very impressed!
    I can try to give u some pointers, if I may offer my humble opinion here^^" You're right about the eyes being a bit far apart, but thats easy to fix! I recently found out about the 'lasso' tool on almost every digital program. All you have to do with it is circle around an eye, one at a time, and move it to where you want! Then you may have to fill in some colour but its better then redoing the whole eyes! I really love Ozzy's eyes here btw!! Maybe just a bit more shading to be done under that lovely highlight to soften his gaze and soften his lips maybe? but other then that, he's so perfect! I was surprised that you didn't like his hair cuz I think its brilliant, especially seeing how complicated it looks!!
    sorry for the long comment >u<
