Hello everyone,
I don’t know what got into me but I’m drawing realistically all of the sudden.
I still would love to draw fan art. It is always a fun project to do. @tegoshei mention that I should do realistic anime fan art. That is interesting as well!
Anyways, @dbooster Asked me to draw his son but I’ve never done a realistic portrait of a person before. I have used my daughter as a model for my semi realistic drawing once before but I don’t know if I can do it. So, here I am, trying to figure out if I can actually draw a realistic portrait of a person.
I chose the reference photo from Pinterest this time. Pinterest has a variety of collections of interesting images. Although, using them as a reference is a bit tricky when it comes to copyright. I’ve seen in some of the tutorials I took, paid or from YouTube, the instructors use images from Pinterest but they don’t seem to credit the original owner or explain how to credit the original owner. What I figured out from reading some articles is that it stays in a grey area like creating fan art.
It is also tricky to find who actually owns these images as well. I’ll attach the link I found here in case someone is wondering. If any of you know how to use Pinterest images as a drawing reference, please let me know.
こんにちは！
突然リアルで描き始めて楽しくて楽しくて仕方のない私です。
ファンアートも忘れてはいないですけどね。ファンアートはまた別の楽しさがあります。 @tegoshei さんにアニメキャラをリアルでと言われて、ニヤニヤしています、笑
さてさて、先日 @dbooster さんに息子さんの絵を描いてと頼まれたのですが、リアルの人物画はまだ挑戦したことがありません。長女ちゃんの写真を参考にセミリアルで描いたことはありますが、リアル人物画なんて未知の世界です。
ですので、挑戦してみることにしました。参考にした写真はPinterestよりお借りしました。けれどPinterest って少しややこしいと言うか、著作権の問題が面倒なんですよね。
今まで受けた有料のお絵描きレッスンでもYouTube の動画などでもPinterestの画像を使っているインストラクターやアーティストさんがいたのですが、著作権については誰も触れていません。
それについての記事もいくつか読みましたが、どれも曖昧で。。。分かったのはPinterest の画像を参考にしてお絵描きをする際、その著作権はアニメのファンアートを描くのに似ていることでした。
画像の持ち主が誰なのか見つけるのもよく分からないのです。写真のリンクを見つけたのですが、これが持ち主のリンクなのかどうか。。。
どなたかご存知でしたら教えてください。
Here is the process of my struggle.
This is, so far, the scariest and the funniest sketch I’ve ever made.
If I can do the sketch better I think the process after this will be so much easier. I really struggled with the balance between the eyes, nose, mouth, jaw, ears… I can draw these parts well separately but to make my drawing really look like the person I’m drawing, I need to practice more. The drawing will look totally different if I can’t get it right.
ではでは、ここからは私の苦悩の様子をご覧ください。
今まで描いてきて最高に怖くて面白いスケッチが描けました。
この時点でもう少しちゃんと描けたら、後が楽になるだろうなと思います。目、鼻、口、顎の角度、耳。。。どれも別々に描いたら結構ちゃんと描けるのに、これをくっつけようとすると難しい！
くっつけ方によっては全然別の人物に見えてしまいます。
まだまだ練習が足りないなと思いました。
This is the moment I really enjoy. The transformation of scary sketch to somewhat viewable, you can kind of see what I’m trying draw, eye friendly sketch haha
これは楽しい瞬間です。コワ面白かったスケッチがなんとか見れる状態、何を描いているのか分かる状態に変身する瞬間です。
The lasso tool officially became my favourite tool. I usually duplicate the layer before using the lasso tool. When I finish my correction, I merge the duplicated layer to the original layer. This way you have less fixing/blending to do because moving around a part of your drawing leaves a white gap that you need to fill with the proper colour.
Drawing the curly and messy hair was not very easy. I had to erase and redraw a few times.
ここでは今まで以上に自由選択ツールが活躍しました。私は普段、自由選択ツールを使う際は、描いているレイヤーを複製して、複製してできたレイヤーを編集、気に入ったら結合します。
カーリーヘアはなかなか上手く描けなくて何度か消して描き直しました。
I moved around the facial features some more using the lasso tool and I’m calling it done because I can’t quite make it look like the reference.
I think I need to draw a few more portraits to get comfortable with this style of drawing but I really enjoyed drawing this.
I hope you like it.
ここでも自由選択ツールを使って目や鼻を何度も動かしましたが、なかなか写真に似せることが出来ませんでした。これにて出来上がりとします。
もう少し練習が必要なようです。
また頑張ります。

This is fantastic!
You did a fantastic job. It looks exactly like the original photo. There is more of a softness that makes your picture look cuter. Very well done.
You know, I don't know if you will laugh but I see hints of Gatchaman in this face (the woman on the team, obviously). It's quite realistic, but something about the curve of the face and the intensity of the eyes makes me think of Gatchaman (I don't watch anime a lot, actually, but a neighbor loaned us his DVD set of Gatchaman and my oldest son loves it, so I see it sometimes. Even more I hear him singing だれだだれだだれだ from another room, trying to imitate Masato Shimon's deep voice).
Thank you so much!!!
Hahaha! I knew exactly which one you were talking about, right away! Omg...Gatchaman! It must be the eyes😆 I used to watch Gatchaman as a kid.
It is so awesome of your neighbour loading you up with the DVD.
I used to sing that song as well. So nice to hear your son is singing as well!
I was first wandering if it was Adobe you used for the drawing but I was calm to read through till the end and I saw the tools used, it was wow I must recommend your effort. Kudos
Thank you so much!
iPad is a pretty powerful tool for drawing. I recommend!
That's is pretty good to hear. Kudos to you
I became your fan. What a brutal style, full of realistic details. I was fascinated. Best regards!
Wow! Thank you so much for the complement!
You did it sis! 🤩😍 Despite the struggle, you still had fun and was able to produce such a great realistic art. 🥰 You're really awesome! I'm a fan since day one! hihihi~ 💕💕💕
It is too bad that I can't show you all of my struggle. It is too messy to make it into the post lol😭
Thank you always for your support. It really helps me keep going 💕💕💕
Haha... I can imagine, but you did great! hugs
You're always welcome sis! It's the same for me... We have discovered various ways to enjoy art these days. It's amazing how we changed... but as you've mentioned in your post, creating fanarts is still my fave. haha
This is awesome @djynn sensei!! 😭😭
Hahaha...I'm still learning but I like that!😆
Thank you so much!!!💕💕💕
The final outcome is wow! Love how that hair turned out.
Thank you so much!☺️
