...Dominic Monaghan

Second installment of the LOST series. I think I like Sawyer more than Charlie. But it's all good. =D

The scanner didn't capture all the detail, oh well. Anyway, I don't think this is my best work. The hair could be better, it's the first time I've ever drawn blond hair. I usually avoid it, but I forgot before I started Dom. I think the facial hair is a mess. The rings were quite annoying. I'll go back and fix this portrait when I have the time.

Reference here

[edit] Raised the contrast by darkening the background and some of the shadows. Tried to fix the finger problem. I'm satisfied now. I'll start my next portrait soon. [/edit]

WhOOt Dom! That's amazing....so realistic! His finger looks a bit strange. His knuckle is wide and then as you get closer to the hand it gets really skinny. I don't know if that was intentional but I just thought I'd point it out. Anyways, great job other than that!

Thank you. =)

Must be the scanner. If you look REALLY closely, you could see it's there and I guess the shading camaflaged into the background of his neck. Thanks for pointing it out, I'll fix it later this week.

The world is full of apathy, but I don't care.

Ooooh you are doing a LOST series as well! I've drawn Boone and I'm working on Kate. It's a very beautiful cast to draw. And this drawing is very good, I love the hair and eye =)

<3 LOST

Your portrait of Boone is amazing. I particularly liked the nose and the lips look quite kissible. =D I need to keep in mind to find a different reference picture from yours when I start Boone. I want work on the Korean couple first since there doesn't seem to be any flattering pictures of Jack, and Kate's curly hair seems too overwheming for me. *cough* no good at hair *cough*

Good luck with Kate. =)

Great thing, nothing to complain about... not that it makes me sad or something ;) I love this effect when something drawn with shades not so strong is shown on a much darker background, obviously drawn with a softer pencil. It makes the person or whatever it is just "jump out" of the drawing, very nice. Another thing... the 3D in the hand gesture, practically flawless. And the hair - the effect when fair hair cast dark shadows is just beyond me... Ah, on thing there is to complain. In a great picture such as this, it catches the eye if one can spot individual pencil strokes that constitute the dark background, as it is here. Maybe it can be corrected digitally, or something?
Still, it's a great portrait. Point.

I never knew I had this in me...

Well done! I don't watch Lost, but I do watch House, and I hear you might be drawing him. I'd look forward to seeing that, as you've got quite a talent. :)
