I love crosshatching when it's done well.
~~~~~
note to self: DON'T crosshatch the piece i'm working on for AJL. He only loves GOOD crosshatching...

Michael - WOW! Here one day and you're coming on strong! Nice stuff.
Chris - you're just a drawing factory! I'd suggest that WW
sholders are just a tad big and her hips not rounded enough, but I like
the effort and energy you've put into it.
Keep 'em coming!

Joe - I've been out of the market for one for some time. You can
research them at www.cnet.com. I have a Canon that I like a lot
that is at least 3 to 5 years old.
A good scanner (therefore an EXPENSIVE one) will have a real glass
scanning area because plastic changes with heat. It will also
have a screw or belt drive for the scanning head because, once again,
heat will effect the rubber band on the cheaper ones.
Maybe around $150 or $200 for a mid to upper range? I really can't say anymore.
Sorry I'm not more help. Good luck!

Anthony, sorry you didn't care for my Dark Phoenix, it was a quicky, but you are right about the hard-edged look to it... I just whipped up a kinder, gentler Dark Phoenix for you:

I liked the emotion of your other Dark Phoenix drawing, Marc.
This new one I like the little thing you did extending from the eyes. I find the hands to look kind of monstrous and a little mascualine looking. Nice sketch though. Interesting composition.

OK - here's a little photorealism I did many, many moons ago. Ebony pencil on paper.

Marc - Once again, I like the linework and shading you've done around the eyes and mouth.

Mathew, the clothing and beadwork is awsome. The hair is spectacular too. I would really like to see that piece painted so the ornamentation of the clothing comes out.

Charles - thanks for the good words. The key I've found to doing
work like this is to get a white eraser and use an X-acto knife to trim
it into little shapes - usually wedges - and "pull" the highlights out
with it. I love the ones that come in a pencil/stick shape you
get in an art store. You can use it just like a pencil at that
point.
Painting would be interesting in that it was a black and white image to
begin with, so I'd be guessing at the colors. Maybe a good
Photoshop learning project for me?

That is an interesting technique, Mathew. Have you ever used an eraser shield? It is this little piece of sheet metal that has different shapes cut out of it so you can erase tight angles. These are used in drafting work a lot. That would be good for this type of detail work.
