# Portrait sketch again
I know you take the piss, but I'm trying to teach myself this stuff and fuck me it's hard.
Anyone have any tips or info to get better with oils?
I'll suck dick for info*


*no I won't
Painting from life, not photographs that is.

# Hi Moffy
I am wracking my brains trying to remember a B3tard who lives in the Netherlands (but is British). Can you recall anyone that fits the bill?

# That's a woman
I hate it when this happens. It's on the tip of my tongue!

# spam isn't a lady
edit: that qotw answer is a red herring. me and him used to do vector challenges, and he definitely lived in the netherlands for a bit

# Mediocre? But I think he is Dutch...
can't think of anyone else right now, I'll think about it.

# Thanks
There is a bloke on another board who is a B3tard and he won't tell me his nick.

# s'good that
got the feel of being slightly distorted, the bottom right looks slightly pulled down to me

# yeah
you're right, I think it's because I keep moving my head from looking in the mirror to looking at the canvas.
I need to get someone to sit badly : (

# what about a reference photo for structure, then using life for colour and depth?

# for why?
(I helped save b3ta! mictoboy shitting in your cunt since, Wed 1 Oct 2014, 23:03, archived)
# For cheating
that's why!
but that's my own pref, I want to learn by eye not via a gadget that tells me where to put my paint and what value/colour. I don't see the point myself.

# it doesn't do that
it just gives you better reference
you still have to actually draw/paint the picture

# I think you are doing very well,
and I'd stick with doing your own thing. If it looks right to you, it's right. If it doesn't, it isn't. None of us could ever tell you that.

# I think it looks all wrong
I'm never happy! But at least it's fun though.
And thank you : )

# I think you're doing very well too
I always concentrate on the eyes, get them right and the rest falls into place. Start light and build layers too.

# ta
with this one I tried getting the values first and built from that. Eyes are the hardest though with the self portraits, as you keep moving the head. I need a neck clamp or something! XD

# as pictures of Nigel Planer go, it's pretty good
seriously though, it's better than I could ever imagine painting anything with a brush
