Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
This is ridiculous. I can't even imagine. That's a pretty well-deserved 4471 favourites. And it's only been up four days!
Wow. Those are lovely. Miniatures are so cool.
Damn, that's some fine detail work. Talented!
TWO HOURS EACH. I can't even imagine. I can't imagine how she erased at that scale.
Of course:
2H, H and B 0.5mm mechanical pencils
I always preferred the Bs and the HB pencil myself. (I could never, ever, do that. . . )
I love how she lists in her materials "a lot of dizziness". That's incredible.
YOU COULD PUT ONE IN A LOCKET.
You know, if you were like *that*.
Which I'm not.
No, really.
I usually work with .3mm mechanical pencils (2H to start, sometimes 2B to finish), and I can't even imagine.
Done with pencil on paper, instead of effects over photo, real--or regular--sized, those would be very good. Miniature? Really amazing.
I don't draw. I have sketched, and erased about 3/4 to leave 1/4 of the effort, exactly two things I could claim to be satisfied with. But my hand won't do what my eyes see, so I understand when an artist does each feature correctly, but then the put-together just looks nothing like the subject.
I don't know what the difference is between drawing a portrait "correctly" and missing both likeness and spirit, and somehow getting the essence of a person or a character, whether the technique is "correct" or not. But I figure the difference is what defines an artist.
All by way of saying, those miniatures are truly amazing.
