A group I'm NOT involved in, so I can easely advertive about it as it promotes a great idea and a great state of mind about sharing, improving, and having fun.
As you may have guessed, I tremendously love portraits (amongst other things). That why I got involved in a brand new group, born with year 2012 :

replaces #faces-blackandwhite, in the same spirit. Have a try ! It's free ! Not a double of #
Pencil-Portraits, but the same mood : portraits & quality. More medias, even photo and digital, but ... monochrome, which means black and another color, be it blue or sepia or what ever. Try it!

Take a look at #
Pencil-Portraits gallery where you can watch
and share great ... pencil ... portraits to the gallery.
Don't forget the favs : still portraits, or still pencils, in a wider style, the aim is to preserve high realism and or emotion. Feel free to suggest your best favs too.

is the third group I'm involved in and is about traditional art only (surprise), so a wide variety, more important in terms of members, and a wider variety of medias, but always ... TRADITIONAL

As many of you, I wish I had more time for drawing, as passion goes increasingly since 2010 when I started. But, as computer things I work in, drawing is time consuming. Anyway dA is my friend for the concept and the content on one hand, the rest of Internet my friend on the other, for the concept but not all the content I often hate. But so useful

I wish I could, once in my life, render such emotion and realism as Iman Maleki does (site:
[link] ), or so great worlds as Cedric Cazal does ( site :
[link]). Ok, I hear you ... it's oil painting and I practice mainly pencils. But things could change ...

.

I quoted those artists because they are not on dA, but be sure other great artists'art give me true emotion here on dA, and I fav them, tell them a way or another each time the occasion is given to me.
I wish I could live with my art ... sometime .
