Coloured pencil drawing of an Indian chief. If I can recall correctly, I think the photo was taken in the 1880's sometime.

Quite possibly your best work so far.
That's just amazing, awesome.

Sweeet. Definitely your best so far, excepting the Pirates of the Caribbean one (the dude with the squid for a face). I'd say the next thing for you to accomplish would be achieving a differentiating texture between clothing and skin. I haven't the slightest idea how to do it, but good luck

I've been reading C.S. Lewis for the last hour or so, and a lot of yesterday...so if my speech has an inch of pretentious British flavor to it, that be why...(sadness).

Yes, that would probably be a good thing to concentrate on. I didn't take too much care into this portrait as I should have, by the time I got to drawing the clothes (I did them last), I was so sick of drawing this guy, so they didn't come out as well as they should have if I had been paying close attention to detail. That neck scarf was SO annoying.

My dear, I am a fan of pretentious British speech, and also of C.S Lewis. The way in which they speak is most eloquent to my standards.

I know how you feel. My art teacher is making us draw a set of objects which are stacked upon one another, all objects being very white, bland and boring...and I've got to shade every. last. one. So far I think I've done four or five spheres, two eggs, but the cones and boxes really kill me. I hate doing those.

I'd dearly love to get into artistic interpretation of subjects, but what holds me back is the yearning to perfect my skills at rendering a subject perfectly in its aesthetic form before I try anything audacious. I think that because I'm just copying things exactly, I don't feel 100% pleased with my work. Maybe it's time I took another angle on things.

Thanks for the comment Jason, I appreciate it muchly.

My Art teacher keeps telling me not to smudge. I thought I might try it though, to see how it turns out. This is my little glass rendering experiment:

I love the look of the metal part. Looks very shiny.

Smudging has its place. I think what your art teacher might mean is that smudging can't make up for a lack of texture technique. I've seen people use smudging to hide their lack of skill with lending texture to an item.
Some items, however, simply require smudging. Like a light bulb.
"Either this guy's got a light bulb up his butt, or his colon's got a really great idea."

By the way, really good stuff Megan I think the smudging turned out well. Right now, we're doing boxes, eggs, spheres and such in art...I'm getting bored now though, she makes us do tons
