[sm]

I love them both, as you already know! :)

[Enola]

I really like them. Especially the left one. Good work :)

[Joane]

the smoke one is cool, looks really realsitic, although u've drawn better faces, but since it's only a quicky there's really nothing to critizise ;)

- on the flick one i already commented ;) still great

[Ramona]

i love them both Helena. :) the one with the smoke looks great, very realistic. ;) the other one shows a lot emotion i think. Nice.. :)

[Tulia]

great drawings!!

[Zindy]

The drawing of Flick is beautiful, I like the simplicity of it.
The smoke looks cool on the second drawing. Seems like you are getting the hang of coal :)

[KLSADAKO]

[Helena]

I gotta double post that.... I am so happy

I went to the Katie concert yesterday in Mannheim. It was more than incredible!

I was in 1st row. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I've had my camera with me
I took one of my drawings with me and gave it to the piano player
I got an autograph on a copy of my drawing (I didn't see her, but someone gave it to her and it came back signed)

All in all it was more than perfect.

Have a look at some pis:

[une artiste]

wow, those are amazing! both the drawings are wonderful. i really like the sirt designs too!

[coralay]

i really like the first shirt! i wish i could do stuff like that, it's simple but makes clothes really different

[Helena]

Thanks for the comments on the clothes and the scans :)
Coralay: why don't you just try? Its quite easy!!!

I started a new drawing yesterday... finally. I feel bad that I don't take time to draw the last days... But now I will. ;)

CORALAY: Thanks a lot :) I like the belt somehow also... but I rarely wear it for some reason....

[AnythingButDown]

Like Maiii said, you work fast! lol I love the colors, and you're right, they just scream summer. And I'm definitely with you on wanting it to be summer already. I love the shadows. Awesome work! :D

[une artiste]

[Man]

Very nice drawing! I really like your colour work!

[Irene]

Ooooh the Alanis drawing is so cool!!! I like the fact that you made her face so simple, not too many colours piled up. It really stands out against all the colours in her hair. And I like the background as well. Lovely bright drawing :D

[DKBonnes]

Wow, your fast, you did a solid job with the colours, I like your Alanis drawing alot.

[artsaves1228]

[Ramona]

[Luna]

Ah, great! :D I luv Alanis and I luv your drawing. Very colourful and springful :p

[sarahvontrieck]

Wow! Your last one is absolutely stunning!:shock:

[Helena]

Hey thank you all so much for the nice comments.
It seems as my lovely husband is the only one that pointed me the mistakes... don't know how but he got eagle-eyes :evil: .

I will add some more hair on the left and make the mouth a little brighter. I'll repost then ;) But I still like the drawing..no matter how bright the smile and how much haaaairrrrrr. ;) :p

[Hadieh]

i love how you did the hair shadow on her face!! :D

[KLSADAKO]

[Joane]

[Helena]

Thank you southern girl. Give it a try ;)

I finished the drawing of Stephans Granparents. It's on their wedding day and on Saturday they will celebrate their golden wedding. I will give it to them as a present then ;)

Flowers are nightmares.

http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/2306/file00048wh.th.jpg (http://img136.imageshack.us/my.php?image=file00048wh.jpg) Done with an HB and an 3B pencil the scan looks a little more rough than the original... but anyhow... ;)

[Hadieh]

awwe it looks so nice!
im sure they'll love it! :D
u captured the moment well!

[coralay]

oh, it looks so cute and nice! it looks exactly like an old photo! i can imagine that the flowers were a nightmare though!

[Maiii]

Cuute! The flowers look beautiful, I can understand that they ere hard to do. The bride is also beautiful, she looks like one of those old time movie stars :)

[Nightlight]

Yes, it really looks like an old photo. Good work :)

[*Angel*Baby*]

i love it great work i wish i had the talent and confidence u have to draw sumone u know id be to scared they thought i drew them wrong and ugly but urs is beautiful

[Man]

Very nice new drawing! You done a nice job on the flowers!

[Nexus]

great Wedding Drawing Helena. I think that it wasent easy, esp. the clothes! Good Job!!!

[DKBonnes]

Good one Helena, you must have put alot of hours of drawing in those flowers and those amazing little things that really make this drawing, like the hanky in the man's pocket, and the thingy on his jacket (don't know what its called).

[Helena]

thanks all so much for your kind comments. I gave the drawing to them yesterday and they have been very happy with it :) Now, I am too ;)

DKBones: Friend speaking... I chated a lot with the flowers. I just made cringles and added some shadings ;)

Angelbaby: I'm always scared drawing people I know, but if you give it a try mostly it's worth it. ;) But also mostly I aint satisfied but the drawn person is :)

No I drew a person I don't know by person by now but I hopefully will soon ;) Bine, this is for you, you pretty girl :) I will scan it asap.

http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/273/dsc000737bo.th.jpg (http://img95.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc000737bo.jpg)

I have had only a black and white reference and no pc... so I choose the colours of the flower by myself. I was thinking about making it b/w but now I'm happy I didn't. I like it this way.

[sm]

Wow, that's quite amazing! =)

[Joane]

hey heli=)
sleepless looks gorgeous! really amazing!

[Zindy]

Your last drawing is so pretty.. Also really liked the one of Alanis, reminds me of summer and happy days.

[teena89]

Beautiful, I especially love her eyes.

[Helena]

Thanks sm, joane, Zindy, coralay, teena89 :) Means a lot to me.
Now I hope that Sleepless likes it also... ;)

[Irene]

She won't like it though.... :roll: She'll LOVE it!!!! I would bet anything she'll love it coz it's just gorgeous and looks exactly like her. You've done really great, Heli, the shading looks so delicate and I like the purple flower a lot. Beautiful.

[Sleepless]

still i hope we can meet soon- business@ school will be over in 2 weeks and then i'll have my life& freeetime back :D

[Helena]

puh.... It was quite hard to find my thread :)
Finally I've started a new drawing. 3 hours so far. I'm trying out my new paper again. It gets much much darker than my old one (which I still will use ;))
The eye is slighty coloured I might do it a little more. He has very light eyes on the original pic (which is from a photocallendar and in colour)

blabla... here it is :)

http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/8923/dsc097163vy.th.jpg (http://img19.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc097163vy.jpg)

[DKBonnes]

WOW, I love how you drew the rimples in his face and can't wait to see your drawing finished.

[Joane]

the crinkles are so damn realistic and you always choose gorgeous ref. pcis! i'm impressed!

[Hannah86]

Wow, I love the eye drawing. The detail on his iris, lashes, and brow is amazing! I like the drawing of Sleepless alot too, the pink flower in her hair really stands out.

The WIP is coming along very well. The creases in his skin look very realistic. :D :o

[Zen Lee]

Wauw thats beautiful art.

[Man]

Looking amazing so far!

[coralay]

wow, tha is really impressive wow!

[Helena]

thanks so much for the comments.
I'm pretty nervous because I can't finis the drawing today... I will hopefully be able to take some time tomorrow... can't wait ;)

[Nightlight]

Beautiful shading ;)
.. your new paper is a very good one :)

[une artiste]

well, i don't really know what to say. that's absolutely amazing! i like the color in the eye.

[cafan14]

wow!!!!!!!

[Hadieh]

i WANT your patience
omg!
it looks so good! i love how every ref pic has a meaning behind it or is very interesting and not someone pretty. my art teacher told me to do that but i still don't, lol
your VERY good at drawing old people and wrinkles. i still esp. loved that one with the hand and the sip cup thing...amazing :shock:

[Helena]

Hadieh, I'm sure you don't. I aint very patient... I am rushing and fast.... that's why I do that... I don't know why but drawing a person with wrinkles takes me not as long as a smooth face ... hm...

So I finished it. In total it took only 4.5 hours. ;)

pencils on my new drawing paper.
http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/9098/file000715zn.th.jpg (http://img216.imageshack.us/my.php?image=file000715zn.jpg)

Hope you like it. C/C is welcome as always. ;)

[jeanine]

It's Beautiful! And I love the ref pic. It must have been so hard to do all these wrinkles.

[Rifty]

wow hun that is amazing! you are evolving with every drawing!!
the one who wins the drawing game is sooo lucky :|

[angeleye]

[Irene]

Very cool drawing, Heli, I love it. You always choose such interesting pics. :cool:

[Helena]

Thanks so much girls.
I coloured the eye and made a photo of the drawing ;)

[DKBonnes]

I loved your drawing before but i think you did the right thing in giving the eyes a touch of colour, it really give's your drawing an edge, I like it :D.

[Hannah86]

Looks amazing Helena! The wrinkles on his face and texture of the scarf are really well done!:D

[sandu]

u dont even need congratulation because you are sooooooo talentated ,i relly like your work very mutch.The eye is perfect and the crinkles are sooooo realistic .U rock!!!

[Zindy]

Your last drawing is quite amazing. Something about the way you did his eyes that make him look realistically old.. like the eyes are not so bright anymore. The crinkles look realistic too.
I also really liked the flower you did a while back, very summer like… and the eye of Stephan was just amazing!

[fröschle]

Super, super, super....

[Zen Lee]

Thanks so much girls.
I coloured the eye and made a photo of the drawing ;)

[van helsing]

I m speechless girl..this one is just brilliant work of art ;-)

[Tulia]

wow!!! that's just amazing!!!

[Southern girl]

one word: amazing ;)

[Helena]

Thank you, thank you, thank you....... :) You all made my day ;)

@Zindy, yeah. the eyes looked very old on the pic also. that's why I choose to make them coloured it showed it even more I think. ;)

[Helena]

Puh, that wasn't easy to find my thread.... on pg. 5 it finally was ;)

I did a new drawing finally. It was kind of hard for me to draw cause a friend of mine died one week ago. I didn't feel like drawing all the time.... I've also had some singing appereances what was very hard to. It seems as if I put some emotion in both of them.....

Anyhow. Here it is. It's Natalie Portman but I think somehow it looks a little like JLO... whatever both pretty women.

[claudi]

It's just beautiful! I think it looks exactly like her, too! That's a great piece of work! :D

[Hannah86]

Sorry to hear about your friend Helena:(

Your drawing of Natalie Portman is simply beautiful! It looks so much like her. The eyes in particular, are my favourite part, they really stand out.

[sandu]

Sorry Helena about your loss ,u lost a very great friend i suppose but u didnt lost your great talent as faras i can see .
Well done !!!;)

[coralay]

oh my god, natalie portman :D your drawing looks a lot like her, the mouth is amazing i love it

[Zindy]

Ohh I just saw the original not long ago here and I really feel for it as well. The expression is so nice. You really caught that emotional look exellently. It's great that you finally draw a bit, I know how hard it can be when you feel really bad. You made something beautiful from it though... take care *hugs*

[Helena]

Thanks so much for all the nice comments. It feels realy good now ! THANKS !

[Joane]

gorgeous job on old man
and natalie is definetely recognizable and yes, she IS damn pretty...

[Man]

The Natalie Portman drawing looks beautiful! I really love the shading on her skin and the dark background!

[Irene]

Oh I just fell in love with the Natalie drawing.... You captured her beauty and loveliness so well. One of my favourites!

I'm really sorry about your loss.... Hope you're ok

[Denniken]

Sorry to hear about your friend.

Your drawing is of Natalie is really beautiful. I can't believe it only took you 4 hours. I think I need to learn how to draw faster and still make it look half decent! :-P

[Helena]

I started a new drawing of two friends of mine. They married one month before Stephan and me and I told Daniel all the time to send me a nice wedding pic of them. Now he finnaly did (almost one year after) so I will make the wedding present now. After that I will draw Sada ;) or Maki ;) ....I ain't that much into colour these days and have to push me a little to do the colour drawing ;) :) But for sure I will :)

Here ist the wip. Elena is almost finished.... Daniel will stand next to her.

[Helena]

Hey Declan. Nice to see you back. :) Thanks so much for that cute comment. yeah... the IKEA pencils... I can't draw at lunchbreak no more. I changed the company and I don't have an official lunchbreak here :( To bad....

Here goes a new drawing of Annett Louisan . she's a german singer .

http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/2158/annettehelenaruschig9in.th.jpg (http://img221.imageshack.us/my.php?image=annettehelenaruschig9in.jpg)
its made on drawing paper 190gr. which is thicker and rougher than the one I usually use. Made with pencils.

c/c welcome.

I'll make a scan asap :)

[Maiii]

It looks amazing Helena, esp the eyes :) I hope to see the scan soon to get a better look.

[BeatrixKiddo]

Amazing!! Good work.

[DKBonnes]

your drawing looks awesome, i like how you've made the eyes become the focuspoint of the drawing, they imo look really beautifull. and if you look at them the rest of the drawing finds it's place wich is just great, kinda if you look at the face you'll see the whole drawing, i hope i'm a bit clear, anyway imo your new Annett Louisan drawing is a really great drawing.

[Sena]

oh waw i love your new drawing so many tetailes i like the fact that you didn`t just draw the caracter and left the page white or color it with a color you made a full drawing and i gues that must take some time and skills i`m very proud of your drawing:D

[Ramona]

really love it, the eyes look brilliant. :)

[Southern girl]

Hey, that's a very great drawing!
The eyes are beautiful and i like the background.
Hope to see the scanned version soon!

[dina]

wow thats amazing u i really loved ur last drawing and the drawing u made for ken

[Joane]

awesome work heli. looking cool with the frame :D

[glemzweb]

That drawing is so cute. The details are great esp the background.

[Hannah86]

Absolutely amazing!:o
I like how the background is blurry, makes her stand out so much. Her eyes are beautifully done, and i love the hair! :D

[une artiste]

i love your newest drawing!! the eyes, the hair, everything is wonderful!!

[sandu]

Wow Helena,your latest drawing rocks ...and the blurry background its sooo very well drawn ,i love it !!!

[Hadieh]

wow nice shading and great work on the eyes esp.!
also, the background looks amazing too! :D

[Helena]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for so many kind comments. I'm always happy when I can post my drawings and get some feedback :)

What I think is funny that you sometimes point out the things that my husband, who can see HOW I do them, says that I am rushing to much. But then you guys say that I did them well in the end. :p :D ..in thins drawing I mean the background. ;)

I am in a very nice drawing mood these days. I started a new one yesterday. I did one hour so far. I think this might become one of my favourite face drawings. I might also draw it with pastells. ...but I don't have the permission to draw it from the fotographer by now..... hopefully I'll get it soon ;)

http://img60.imageshack.us/img60/8103/dsc000972du.th.jpg (http://img60.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc000972du.jpg) sorry its a bad photo...

[KLSADAKO]

[Hannah86]

[aLeX]

Thanks again for the new coments :)
Southern girl: you are right. That site is great. I got most of my drawings of "unknown" persons from there. :)

Jojo: wo warst Du gestern ;)

[Julieta]

they look better scanned, they looks too dark with the cam

[Maiii]

I agree, damn you're so good at drawing eyes :)

[aLeX]

I agree, damn you're so good at drawing eyes :)

totally agree to that, so nice and outstanding. your drawings make me feel so tempted to draw a picture i've got of kristen kreuk which has the same sort of eye-lashes:)

[Hadieh]

omg, i thought it not possible,but they look even AMAZING-ER (lol) scanned! :shock:

[DKBonnes]

Your drawings look so good in the photo's and scanned they look really awesome as well, i'm more and more liking the ice queen drawing you made.

[Man]

Wow! Your 2 latest drawings look very nice! I really like how you done the eyes in the close up portrait! And it's cool that you covered the whole page in the 2nd drawing!

[Sena]

i love the first one helen :shock: those eyes are so capturing and emotional like you can`t take your eyes off of hers the second one is wonderfull as well of course it must have been hard to draw all thise detailes but for such a greith artist like you everithing is posible

[Helena]

Again Thank you, thank you thank you for the comments on the scanned pics ;) I always think the difference between scanned and not scanned is quite big. But I have no working scanner at home and so I have to wait till I visite my parents. :)

Anyhow. I need your help today. I have to draw my brothers, my sister and me till friday night. (Everyday on portrait needs to be done) It will be a present for my mother. Its her 50th Brithday on Saturday.
I started with my babybrother Leon. It's still a wip but I am thinking about leaving the hair like that.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO??? Please. I need some help. I am very unsure what to do. I kind of like it like that but I am affraid that it looks good only to me ;) ;)

[Ramona]

Hm, i would draw a bit more of the hair, but i think it's alright if you don't draw everything of it.
I really like it so far btw! :) Looks a lot like him!
