Amazing! Do you use photographs or are these purely out of your imagination?

Otherwise, what kind of advice would you give to someone wanting to draw these kind of realistic drawings?

thanks ,

those were drawn from photos , but i upscaled them alot.....Arnold is 18x24" and is in my wieght room..the wine glass is 14x17" hanging in my dining room..

my advice would be to practice keeping your shading as smooth and seamless as possible to get a photorealistic look..learn the circulism technique to get real looking skin.

the pictures do these drawings absolutely zero justice..im trying to learn to photograph them the way they appear in person. but thats easier said than done im learning

You have some real talent there. That is coming from a guy who was a graphic design major for about 3 months. My biggest suggestion would be to learn how to set a custom white balance. You can use your camera manual, search online, or on this forum for steps to do that. This will get rid of that yellow cast youre getting on your work. Keep up the great art.

took the tammy for a walk yesterday.

Monument Circle in the rain yesterday. Boy am I glad the 50D is weather sealed.

A homeless guy I got to talking to:

Shot today with one silver umbrella and a 450D at F10, 50mm, no sharpening!

hey, how do you like your Tamron 17-50mm? i was looking at getting the VC version of that lens, but was debating on getting that or the Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM with the Hyper Sonic Motor. I was also looking at the Canon 17-85mm f/4-5.6, but haven't a clue which one to get.

i had the sig 17-70, nice range but variable AP and i never seemed to get along well. ive got the 17-50 now and love it.

Just arrived today. Testing shooting now around the house.

very nice
