Finally, I brought one of my art class student up to here, You guys can visit him -:iconcandyboy93: . I helped him to post 3 of his early portrait works - not really some nice-looking artworks, after all he's still a beginner with only several months of experience. But he was very helpful the time I employed him as a temporary assistant and I was giving him a chance to make good use of his free time during the school's term break. More similar works are coming soon. He's still not that skillful in lines technique and capturing the likeness. The girl in the pictures, "Candy", was a girl he met on Friendster and used to be his dream girl but now they broke up because he did something bad to her, that was what I heard from him...

In fact I posted his work, together with a couple more students (not yet entering DA)   previously on several local art forums. Once again, some local people, especially those so-called expert mangaka-wannabes criticized him for not able to develope his very own drawing style but instead following my path, it's true that people can sense my elements in his drawings..., but the fact is, I took the blame for not able to train them well but instead creating a bunch of "mindless copycats"...

Although he started learning children art (I teach children art too...)since he was 9 but he never got a chance to learn something more advanced until 6 years later when he was 15(due to my previous company's children art course syllabus limitation). You guys can feel free to give him any comment, tho' he's a shy boy and not really dare to interact with people, but you guys don't have to treat him nice, everybody can be his art teacher..., haha! That's the reason I brought him up to here... not just to have fun, but this is a good place for him to learn more things from everyone around the world...

People have said bad things about his style being too close to yours? Though I agree his style is a lot like your own, I see no problem with that! I think it is great you are taking the time to help him out. Everyone who is new to art takes up a style similar to their favorite artist, and then you grow from there! I think his art is amazing for a beginner! I've always had so much trouble drawing people, especially faces, which is why I stick to dragons and taking photographs! Tell him to keep it up, he's off to an amazing start!
