Hi
I wonder why I am not finished with this drawing! Though I posterized it .... it is still with me and is still not framed ..... can anyone suggest how to make it more photo realistic ? I mean when I see it ... it still looks a sketch... It would be helpful if you can provide me with a link or a tutorial where certain techniques might be discussed ! .. I have a few holidays coming up .. would like to work it up further... Danke!

Well the tooth of the paper seems a bit course for the subject matter I think, but nothing you can do about that now. I would suggest adding a background. Noting in focus just something to ground the image.
Something like this drawing I am working on .. take a look at the reference photo http://www.drawspace.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=42651 Here are some other example and if you explore this photo site you will see many of this style. http://www.doctormacro1.info/Images/Ann-Ma...-Margret_17.jpg http://www.doctormacro1.info/Images/Bogart...Humphrey_01.jpg http://www.doctormacro1.info/Images/Burns,...20George_02.jpg http://www.doctormacro1.info/Images/Calvet...0Corinne_03.jpg http://www.doctormacro1.info/Images/Sinatr...%20Frank_03.jpg -------------------- |

raikwar,
Once you have added in a background you may find that you need a wider range of values in the drawing itself...This is a beautiful moment you caught and it made me smile to remember my own girls giving me those big wet sloppy kisses  Thank you!Laura -------------------- You get what you give.....

I hardly ever get a professional black and white photo to work from so I scan and grayscale the color photos and then adjust the contrast get a full range of values. I'm sure the great black and white photographers used lighting and exposures to get their great looking photos. In your photo I think there is too much white. It may just be the scanner isn't picking up the lighter values. In photo realism you will obviously need to either use a source photo with the full range of values or adjust the contrast with the help of a program.
I don't like photorealism either, but I love well lighted detailed photos to work from that I can get a near photo realism that shows that it was drawn by an artists. Bobby -------------------- |

what is in the background behind the baby. to be honest i would remove it. it interferes with the picture and makes it look like the babys or mothers withered arm. I think youve captured the very essence of the photo without it. otherwise completely amazing work. the rendering is top notch.

Very cute drawing!
3 things need more shading, the baby's ear need some to make it look more rounded(3D) The lady's ear is "behind" a part that is already shaded and would be obstructed from the light source, so it and the hair tie look like they are glowing -------------------- Prismax
