Just seeing the stuff here makes me want to jump in. But I really should be doing school work!
You're a terrible influence, you know that? After this chapter in my required reading, I'll do one.Do a quick and dirty 15 min sketch. It's not procrastinating. It's like a shot of coffee straight to the brain, which'll help with school work. :D
Oh shit. This is back.
Anyone would like to do a selfie of me?

Simply incredible
I would be absolutely honoured and forever grateful if you could tackle one of my two monkeys
The talent on display here is insane
Absolutely adore your art style and would love to frame this:
For my daughter if you have the time <3
Sorry for the shitty quality/tone. I don't have the scanner set up yet, so I had to just take a pic with my phone.
Can I ask what medium you used to create this? I can't stop staring at it I'm in awe haha.
I sketch myself all the time but have never had anyone else try so this is blowing my mind. Damn lol.
This thread is crazy inspiring.
This is absolutely stunning, thank you so much badwolf. Gonna frame it and surprise her, you are the best
Awesome thread! If anyone could do me please, feel free to go wild ;)
Scrolling through this thread has been a trip and a half, wow. I'd be honored if someone could do me!
Phenomenal work, Dice. Besides the usual "keep practicing" tip, what other tip would you give to someone aspiring to draw?
Haha sweet, I look tough!
Wow! Amazing work, everyone!
I just updated the 3rd post to include a gallery for the first 200 posts. I'll try to keep it updated for every 200 posts. Hopefully the forums won't break anytime soon.
Kudos to everyone who contributed multiple times already!
If you're curious about where I am storing everything or want a flat index of stuff, you can go here:

I do not keep copies of the original reference photos and unless artists named their files, they will be whatever gibberish the image hosting service uploaded it as haha.
In focus, fun expression, neat hair? Yoink! I'll try to do this one today.
Nailin' it, Prax. Thanks for hosting the images and wrangling the thread!
This thread makes me angry, jealous, impressed, and honestly strives me to work just as hard to keep at it. It's wonderful and agonizing all at once. xD
Some really great work in here everyone. :)
Aw shucks and you avvy'd it?! :O
I'm on Twitter/Tumblr/FB as @DiceSMS if you ever wanted to see more, or rather, if you ever wanted to commission me (I confess, I work 2 jobs so I only had so much time to work on portraits here --- besides an excellent spot to get quick practice in --- otherwise I would have kept working it and working it).
Anyways, I honestly just use Photoshop 95% of the time. You find yourself some fancy set of brushes (if you're using PS as well I can definitely send my "brush set"), practice a lot*, and usually your own personal style starts to evolve. :)
* Probably the best and most concise lesson I've ever been taught on how to practice was in three words: "DRAW DRAW DRAW"
Do you mind if I tweet your sketch with an @ to your twitter account?
Will follow!This thread makes me angry, jealous, impressed, and honestly strives me to work just as hard to keep at it. It's wonderful and agonizing all at once. xD
