Lee Taemin "Everybody" Fanart + Merry Christmas

HEY THERE EVERYBODY. OMG. IT'S BEEN AGES. I'M TERRIBLY SORRY. BUT MERRY CHRISTMAS. HERE'S A CHRISTMAS PRESENT FOR YOU.

Part 2 of the SHINee "Everybody" Collection :3 I really love this one because, well, I added some colour to it. I think the face was really well done compared to Jonghyun's so hurray~ Here's a comparison shot to the original:

Sorry for that weird blue line. I didn't know how to get rid of it so I left it. I didn't want to take apart the layers like I did for Jonghyun's drawing because I erased some of the lines on the sketch layer and it looked funny so I didn't bother. That anchor on his hat was quite a bother but hey, turned out nicer than expected.

The next one I'm working on is Key's but right now I found something else to draw so I'm putting that one on hold for now. My friend told me about this challenge on DeviantArt where you had to draw something using only the five colours given. There are a total of six blank "canvases" and all you have to do is draw! Decided to do some portraits and I've currently done 2 out of the 6. Slowly getting there. Hopefully I can finish that before I go on holidays on Tuesday but my days till then are pretty packed so I'm not sure whether I can.

Anyway, a happy Merry Christmas to everyone out there and enjoy the rest of 2013! Hope you guys accomplished any resolutions you made at the start of the year and if you didn't make any, make some for the upcoming 2014 :) 

Best wishes, Melissa.

SHINee's Comeback [Everybody] + Kim Jonghyun Fanart

WHOOO SHINEE'S COMEBACK IS SOON. I forgot which date though...well. I guess I'm not as excited since they already came back with 'Dream Girl' and 'Why So Serious' so I'm not particularly screaming with joy. Plus, the teaser pictures weren't exactly the most attractive in my opinion. I mean, look at those hats .__.

But I have to admit, they all looked stunning in the pilot uniforms. Minus Minho. His outfit looked like dress. 

Anyway, to commemorate SHINee's upcoming release I drew a picture of Jonghyun ^^ It's a little different from my usual style but I've done it before (like, last year?) and well, I'm really proud of it!

It looks like the actual picture with a funny outline :') I decided to keep the outline, just because I did it last time and I thought it'd look really 'sketchy'. The creases came out really well and I'm really proud of what I've done. In total, it took me less than a day but I spanned it out over two days. Oh man, last night I spent up to 1.30am just to get this finished >__<

I also put together the different individual layers so you know that I actually painted it LOL.

So the left is the reference picture which I turned to black and white (the very original one was coloured). Middle is obviously the outline layer where I traced the reference picture (call it cheating but I wanted to get the exact shape and whatnot). And lastly, the painting layer! The colours aren't as bold as the original but oh well. Couldn't be bothered fixing it.

And there we have it ^^ I'm wondering what black and white painting I should do next so if you have a suggestion or a nice picture then pop the link in the comments and I'll check it out :) Alrighty, I hope this makes up for both the lack of art and lack of posts lately!
