This is in pencil and marker. It is about as done as its gonna get, but I will still take suggestions for improvement. It is for my sketchbook in my drawing I class. First time I used marker in my drawing.
Any comments/crits would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Oh fuck that looks photorealistic. At first sight I actually thought it WAS a shirt lieng there. Very good.

yah, excellent job! it seems to have color and everything, but it's all greyscale.

beautiful. reminds me of a web gallery i saw a little while ago.. it was all black & white work that was designed to fool the eye into thinking it was real. the technique has a french name. wish i could remember the link. :P

ok. here's a critique. you need to learn how to iron. you see the wrinkle in the collar? sheesh.

as for the sketch, looks very good. are those prismacolor markers?

pastaboy · Posted: Fri Nov 09, 2001 10:08 pm

Yup Prismacolor cool greys.

"Trompe Loi" i believe is the French for "fool the eye."

Also, a critique:

Try to go darker, if that is the shirt below the drawing you drew, then it is a darker shirt. But also going darker gives you a greater oppertunity to create better depth and weight. Its something my "rendering" proff always used to say, " its looking good, but go darker."

its funny because he had tinted glasses and he looked like he was always wearing sunglasses.

not sure how far you've gotten with color either so i'll hold off on that.

It is very nice though and it is really starting to pop out of the page, cloth is sooo much fun, i always liked Durer for his cloth.

I see where I could have gone darker, thanks.
Thats not the shirt underneath, thats the top of my bed. hahah. The shirt I think was blue.

I like it a lot !!!

Just one comment: the perspective of the hanger looks a bit strage.

Anyway, it's very good !

"Why'd he cover up his sketchbook with that shirt?"

very nice.

oh shit dude...what was your teacher's name...i had a teacher just like that, his name is mr. greene. he fits that same description (lol maybe just a coincidence)

It is "trompe l'oeil" where 'oeil' means eye

The pic fooled me too in the first place .. really photo realistic. Nice work.

yO, nope his name isn't Greene it is McDonald. He teaches at Kendall College of Art and Design (now part of Ferris State College).

And thanks kratul for the correct spelling of trompe l'oeil, I'm just lazy sometimes (particularly with spelling).
