Fancy Shirt   by Rukiian
Something I had to do for my art class, on of my favorite pieces I made my senior year of high school.
My teacher entered it into our state fair, and I got first in it's category. c:

Done with a basic #2 pencil and ebony pencil.

mind if i ask how long this took?
Rukiian   July 26, 2011 - 3:02PM
Hmmm, roughly I would say around 35 hours, that is if you only count the time I actually worked on it, otherwise it took around three to four weeks.
(Since I had about two hours in class to work on it; for about three weeks, and took it home to finish.)
tatsumichi   July 26, 2011 - 3:05PM
gotcha. I dont think i could spend that long on one observational drawing (I like to pump em out within one day).
Rukiian   July 26, 2011 - 3:08PM
Oh jese, I hated it after three days in [class].
Just sitting there staring at the same thing for hours, I tried to finish this as fast as possible. (I like doing that too.)
tatsumichi   July 26, 2011 - 3:09PM
yeah man
CommanderEVE   August 11, 2011 - 1:03PM
Yeah, I find that some of my stuff take this long too. O:

How big is the original drawing?
Rukiian   September 6, 2011 - 5:00AM
Hmmm, I just got it back but didn't measure it... It's fairly big though. I'll get back to you on this. c:
DoktorTTM   September 27, 2011 - 9:43PM
TTM: I have to say, looks so REAL! I was almost fooled at first by its thumbnail, thinking it was a photo! You have GREAT talent!
Rukiian   October 4, 2011 - 6:41AM
Ah Thank you. c:
caroleeone   October 22, 2011 - 9:27PM
And THAT is how you shade wrinkles. Very nice, I actually thought this was a photo. xD
Murkeye   December 5, 2011 - 12:05AM
when I saw this featured I thought it was a photograph.
It's incredible! Very well done.
Ivan   December 5, 2011 - 1:33PM
This is surprisingly rad for, just...y'know. A shirt. XD

I think it's because you rendered it really realistically. Awesome work, it really looks like a fancy shirt I actually own.
uropygid   December 20, 2011 - 3:37PM
W-wow... this is crazy! I thought for sure the thumbnail was a photo, and I clicked on it thinking "....But photos aren't allowed?" I want to take it off the wall and wear it XD
CinnamonAlchemy   December 21, 2011 - 9:58PM
That is one fine shirt.
PinkPaperWeight   January 14, 2012 - 6:14PM
The only way I knew this wasn't a real shirt was because I stopped and said "Wait, Nabyn doesn't allow photography..."
This is so beautiful; you did an amazing job! <3
Spine   January 25, 2012 - 3:12AM
Wow, this is fabulous! *3* I, too, thought first of it as a photograph!
ainsmar   January 27, 2012 - 1:57PM
Goodness the detail is astonishing. I applaud your patience and skill.
Atomicpiggy   February 3, 2012 - 10:42AM
Nice!
TristanAlexander   February 19, 2012 - 4:24PM
Wonderfull! This sort of thing is a great exercise, drawing a wadded up peice of paper is also fun when done like this!
Oxee   April 20, 2012 - 11:14PM
good god it's like a photograph of reality.
