This is a portrait of a friend, of my Ultima Online character.
It's a pencil drawn only.

im searching for a good style for me, that's why this pic is so different than the rest of my works.
i can't say if i like it tho.
i see disney in it :)

maybe u ppl can help somehow.

Holywood Hulk Hogan!

Just kidding. ;)

His eye on the left (his right, our left) seems a bit too far over towards the ear. If it was pushed a little closer towards the nose, that might help. Cool drawing, though. I can totally see that as an Ultima character.

Lookin alright..
theres no need, though, to really concentrate on finding a style...itll just come to you, thats why its your personal style, and not your copied style.
The eyes are the one thing in this piece that really struck me as needing work, even for the cartoony style.
Keep it up man, Im looking forward to seeing more from you!

amphex: it seems that u're right but...i think its not that easy...
it's not just that i dont know, do i want to draw like him, or the other guy, or her..

what should i do if i know so many different ways to draw an eye, and i dont like mine 'default' way of drawing it?

i see so many styles of drawing a human and i like many of them, am inspired by these arts and bored with my nondescripted 'style'.
i know that stealing style is lame and i dont mean to do it... but how the hell should i draw?

bah! everything's gonna be aight
one day ;P

[i know its a lil chaotic but it even would be tough for me to talk about it in polish ;)]
