After all the positive comments about my pictures I was inspired to start drawing again. This is just a simple profile sketch of an elven type guy. I want to give the impression of rain so I erased some lines across the drawing. Don't know if it really works. What do you think? I'll post the finished drawing when I get it done.

::chuckles at the comment above her:: I agree with you there. This is great Adam, I love the realism, but yes, the erased lines, remind me of shafts of sunlight coming down in a forest? This is just MY opinion, but it would look great if you finished the ear off and made some heavy shadows in it. Course it's just again, my opinion. Looks great, I love your ear! ^.^ Keep up the great work, May the Creative spirit Find you well...

Augh! I hate you. Do you know you are PURE GENIUS?

I actually did think it was rain before I read the description. But it's almost too cool-looking to be rain.

I just can't get over how real you make him look. It's the wrinkles by the eyes. I can never capture emotion like that!! You are much too good for your own good. Someday people will mob you for being too brilliant, and you'll have to hide away in a tall tower just so you can draw in peace... And I'll be one of the mobbers.

Actually it looks more like streams of light more than it dose rain. You do some wonderful art work I love all of the detail you put into your pictures.

Just like to start off by saying you have one of the best galleries in terms of human (well, almost human) faces and expressions I've ever seen. This picture, the profile itself is great, but I think you could make the rain more realistic by breaking it up a bit, making the drops shorter, instead of having them as solid lines across his face. They lood kind of like bars of a cage. Also, some gradient from head to tale and shading/highlighting of the drops could give them a more realistic, fluid quality. Hope this helps, and I really love your work, even though I criticized it so much!

Your art , Sir, is quiet simply breathtaking. I have worked very long to try and achieve the realism that you possess. It is out of my reach still and now I know why. You possess it all...For once someone who makes me sit with my mouth agape asking "How does he do that??
I invite you to view my pitiful renderings once they are published here in the woods and give any advice you have. Or you can see some on www.artwanted.com Rose Blanscet.Also I ask that you visit my daughters page here, gallery 657 Natasha Cabrera.
Bowing to your greatness

I like the streaky rain effect (as opposed to drops). Though the ones in front do look more like beams of light than rain, I think because of how stark they are; maybe you could shade inside and around them a bit more so they don't look like light (or an eraser gone wild). The rain in front also is not all going exactly the same way. That makes it conrfusing (each streak infront of his face goes down at a different angle).

It's good except it looks more like stripes then rain. Try making the rain more like drops instead of streaks all the way down from sky to earth.

wow,before I read the description I thought it was like,rays of light shining down on him. Eather way its very cool,I dont know how you do it but theres so much emotion in it.

The part about this whole thing that gets me is. You say you were inspired to start drawing again? As in you quit for any time longer then just a break from burn out?
I wish I had half your talent! I think I will go burn my sketch pad and go to bed. Awesome work!!! - Robar

Your gallery is one of my favorites. The pictures are so real and effortless. With this picture, I like how you did the rain, and though the rain in front of the face wasn't interesting at first, it is growing on me and I like it. However, it is taking time to get use to the rain across the hair. It looks sort of unnatural. But I like it a lot. Please draw and post more!
