Artist's Comments

This is a my first EVER attempt at drawing realistic portraits...EVER! So there may be a lot of mistakes, remember I'm very new at this, but I enjoy drawing realism :) The image quality may not be so great since my scanner hated me today and wouldn't cooperate, so I had to touch it up a bit with Photoshop (although I barely changed it -_-), and I added in the border in Photoshop as well.

Well as you can see, this is a drawing of David Archuleta, the runner-up of American Idol season 7, and he's one of the best contestants to show up on Idol....amazingly, you would think after 7 seasons, Idol would've squeezed out all the talent of America, but nope, this guy is a truly amazing singer, and it takes a lot for me to say that cause I usually don't listen to the songs that he sings.

I used this image as a reference if you want to compare --> [link]

***EDITED****
I just redrew the picture a little, especially the shading. I would like to thank Eve for helping me with all the critique and guiding me with the shading!!! :D

*******NEW MESSAGE JULY 6TH*********
I submitted this drawing to a fanart contest by fanblast (a very well known David Archuleta site) and I got honorable mention! Go here to see my drawing (scroll down a to Week 27 of 2008) :D [link]

It's pretty darn good. My major complaint would be that the pupils don't match up, but considering it's your first realistic portrait, I'm impressed.
:iconshinobifreakxd:
Thanks :) I know the pupils are kind of off, but if you look at the actual picture reference I used, the pupils are actually like that, well that is unless I'm going totally crazy....I should be wearing glasses, but refuse lol
