Teyla Emmagen -- 2 by crysothemis

Watch

A portrait of the Stargate: Atlantis character, which was mostly just an excuse to draw those eyes.

Amazing!!

mythelf Featured By Owner Oct 7, 2012

No words for how well done this picture is...
How did you do it???
Or more like it,
how long did it take???????
But it's beautiful nevertheless.
And Teyla is my favorite girl in the series, so it's even better!

WOW! You are amazing. That's all there is to it.

I love how you did the eyes. You create miracles with a pencil.

thats cool

samantha66 Featured By Owner Feb 8, 2010

Oh my... this is beautiful!
I wish I had your talent. Tried the same Teyla drawing, but it looks miles away from yours...Just can't figure out how to do the shading

Spartan87 Featured By Owner Aug 13, 2009

Its perfect, well done.

kaletra7 Featured By Owner Dec 2, 2008 Student Writer

Really great! You captured the detail really well!

Nighty-chan Featured By Owner Nov 26, 2008 Hobbyist Photographer

Even Teyla is great done by your hands.
Astonishing how you can draw humans...

This is an amazingly gorgeous sketch!

I love the eyes! Rachel Luttrell has pretty eyes.

Beautiful drawing!

LilithLunatic Featured By Owner Nov 24, 2007

The first time I glimpsed at your stuff on the annoyingly tiny teaser pic, I thought they were photoshopped, and then I clicked and my eyes about fell out of my head! This is so amazing.

crysothemis Featured By Owner Nov 26, 2007

Aww, thank you, for this and all of your lovely comments. I really like working with graphite -- it's so warm and satisfying and real. Which is not to say I have anything against Photoshop -- I just don't get the same feeling of being connected with my subject from it.

Also, it helps to have a pretty subject to draw, which is why Stargate: Atlantis has been such a perfect source of reference material.

LilithLunatic Featured By Owner Nov 26, 2007

Yes, they are all quite pretty. I drew a Rodney sketch, but DA is being mean and won't let me put it up for some reason...

mydaysrgreen Featured By Owner Oct 26, 2007

very good...one of my favorite shows

marislily Featured By Owner Sep 1, 2007

the eyes really are wonderful

Evil-Tim19 Featured By Owner Aug 9, 2007

Superb work, keep it up

Missy7 Featured By Owner Jun 28, 2007

I have no clue who the model is, but the drawing is incredible.

spookyzangel Featured By Owner Aug 7, 2007

this is Rachel Luttrell, playing the character of Teyla in Stargate Atlantis !

PureOenone Featured By Owner Jun 7, 2007

Just plain amazing. Amazing character captured by an amazing artist. She's so beautiful, and you just got her...

AureliaK Featured By Owner May 27, 2007

Wow!! that´s amazing! she looks even prettier than in the series!!

katrien-shattered Featured By Owner Mar 23, 2007

I just have to say that this is absolutely GORGEOUS. You've captured Teyla to a T.

Ereschkigal Featured By Owner Mar 5, 2007

wow...totally amazing

Maxjia Featured By Owner Jan 16, 2007

You are sooo talented

I am totally blown away

Amazing Amazing Amazing!

This is totally my fav of all your drawings.
She is so much cuter in your picture. And I can finally remember who she looks like (Jennifer Lopez), it was always on the tip of my tongue.

Keep up the great work. You should totally get paid to draw like this.

prAEtoria Featured By Owner Jan 11, 2007

wow, very nice. u've got some real talent over there

.
keep up the good work

RecycledFunk Featured By Owner Jan 2, 2007

I cannot believe how warm and beautiful you've drawn her eyes. I've seen the photo this is based on and even it didn't capture her vulnerability the way you have.

CelticWolven Featured By Owner Nov 25, 2006

WOW. All I can say is Wow. This is probably one of the best drawings I have seen in my life.
Amazing, just fantabulously amazing

Princess-Kraehe Featured By Owner Nov 8, 2006

BEAUTIFUL JOB!!!!!

dark3princess Featured By Owner Oct 14, 2006 Hobbyist General Artist

wow. this is amazing! the soft complexion and her innocence is shown perfectly, wow

diab-less Featured By Owner Oct 4, 2006 Traditional Artist

very nice drawing...

Aristocrat-knights Featured By Owner Oct 4, 2006

just out of curiousity, did you do any sort of gridding up or tracing to get the features so exactly right? because all the characters youve drawn look instantly recognisable, which is truely amazing!
excellent drawing (and excellent gallery too!)
you certainly have a gift for it, especially having started from scratch a year ago!
keep it up!

crysothemis Featured By Owner Oct 6, 2006

I don't trace, but generally use either a grid or a lot of measurements to get the features in the right place. This one, for example, was done with a grid. I have also been working on unblocked sketches -- you can find a few of those in my scraps.

And thank you! I'm glad you liked.

EuroFoxx Featured By Owner Sep 23, 2006

I don't know this show, and it doesn't matter. Damn you're good *shakes head in wonder*

Alizah Featured By Owner Sep 16, 2006

That's lovely. She's a beautiful woman and you can tell straight away who it is.

panzi Featured By Owner Sep 11, 2006

Very cool!
Could you by any chance paint Vala (Claudia Black)? I would love to see her painted with pencil!

galadriel1618 Featured By Owner Aug 14, 2006 Traditional Artist

I'm not a fan of Teyla either, but guh this is utterly gorgeous. She looks extremely beautiful here; the eyes and the lips are brilliant. And your shading is just out of this world.

Suyeta Featured By Owner Aug 14, 2006

Teyla Emmagen & Ronan Dex are my personal favorite and you have managed to capture the essence of both characters perfectly ...

wavscaper Featured By Owner Aug 5, 2006

WOW. Totally amazing! EXCELLENT work.

Rising-Phoenix87 Featured By Owner Jun 15, 2006 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I thought I left a comment here already... I absolutely love, love! this drawing... It even inspired me to do a drawing of my own with a different Teyla pic. it's nothing in comparison to this one but I'll upload it as soon as I scan it, but this one is what made me pick up the pencil again...

Again, lovely! I love looking at it!
