This was a doodle I did at my g-pas house because I was so bored and didnt know what to draw.
I was also trying to add the effect of making the "S" look shiny- tell me if I got it right? :)

P.S.- I put the date and my signature in the drawing. (I dont know how to do my signature awesome, so Im trying out new ways)

Friiiiiiiiiies! You posted somehing! :o

Abyway, you did make it shiny! But it looks like there is writing on the shiny part and it looks a bit strange... maybe it's an attempt to be shaded? And I think the back of the S has funny shaded parts to... try smearing the marks a little better! It looks a bit odd now!

Still! Awesome!

I does look shiny! Nice job. Nice clean lines (does that make me sound like an interior designer? Too much HGTV), nice effects, you got it down!
ALL HAIL ATHENA!

Hey there!

Oooh. :O It does look shiny! Nice work, it's a very cool effect. It's your signature inside the S, right? Because it's a tad distracting, I would have signed my name somewhere else if I were you. However, great job with the shading and the overall picture.
Brilliant!

Hey there!

Well, first off, my favourite thing is definitely down to your shading! You've made it stand out, look 3D and, a little big, which is good in the sense that it's flaunting it's impact :] I feel though, that you could improve on it a little more by tidying up the hook at the top that joins it to the necklace, it seems a bit out of proportion in the terms that it feels angled away a bit. Also, the lines flowing away either side of the "S", I'm not really sure what to think of them at the minute to be honest. In a sense, they make it more unique, but I don't know if it's for the right reasons because it's confusing.

Is it shiny? I guess it is a little, but I think you can make it better! Sorry to be the nit-picker ;) haha, but I think you could introduce some hatch shading in the white middle part of the "S" to bring the effect of light into your doodle, which should in turn make the shiny effect more prominent to the viewer. Also, as you seem to be good at shading, I think you could do this quite well!

Anyway, hope this helped and keep drawing!

Actually Ben I barely started beginning to learn the different ways Artist make there effects on their drawings. Which fascinates me all the time, so this should be interesting. I am also glad I know what your talking about when you say hatch shading, or else you would have a lot to explain. I'll see what I can do about making it more shinier for you :) And thanks, though I thought shading was my weakness. And your totally right about the hook, I barely looked at it carefully. I don't really know why I put the lines there that is flowing either side of the "S", I think I was thinking about spinning at the time *shrugs shoulders*. I will, and thanks it helped alot.

:) haha, why is it so fascinating that I post something, Snoink? When I should really be reviewing other people's wonderful work, lol. Thanks, I'll try fixing the mistakes.... at the time I didn't have an eraser with me(I lost it! Feel so ashamed... but I bought a new one :D).

:) Thanks for the review penguin, and, haha, I have no idea what that is.

Hey Mizz! Yeah sorry about that, I was trying out new things, as you can see, I'll remove my sign and write it elsewhere. Thanks.

P.S.- Thanks for the review guys, your really helping me out. :D

This is lovely, fries! :)

Yet there is a little thing that I have to pick at if you want the pendant, if thats what it is, to look 3D. At the left-middle part of it, where it 'wisps' off, I'd be right in asuming that it's meant to be 3D, along with the rest of picture. Try to some tonage in the connecting area, to show its going backwards... or forwards! :D

Apart from that, It's lovely!

This is good. I like the different shades of grey and stuff. Plus, I like the shape and everything. One thing I would suggest, though, is that on the right, where the light part is, you don't need the outline for the entire part. Drawings tend to look better when you don't outline them, you just do the shadows and dark parts because your brain fills in the lines, but it makes it look more realistic. Maybe it's just something you could experiment with. But other than that, this is really nice looking. I like your signature like that, by the way. :)
