Artist's Comments

albino humans are so beautiful, aren't they?

MY LAST GRAPHIC DESIGN PROJECT OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. :'D Pretty nice way to wrap up the year if I do say so myself.

Even though this has nothing to do with her directly, somehow I felt the whole time that I was making this for :iconmaebelleine:. We both love albinos so much. (GEE, I WONDER WHY. :'D WHY THAT'S A REAL THINKER THAT IS.) In fact, recently I sent her a bunch of photos I found of an albino fashion model and she totally flipped out. X3

I used Mr. Cox's new devil-camera and took a picture of one of the guys in my class to make this piece. I always feel so awkward getting people to model for me. <8D;; I should be used to it by now, but I always feel really fidgety about keeping them from their own work. I had to get him to pose with his glasses off and everything. XD;;

As always, I did it with a mouse. Mr. Cox told me that he's probably gonna get some tablets next year, which will be GREAT.

I wanted to try doing some of the interesting things I've seen other artists doing with the background. I wanted the background and typography to be very simple, but in an aesthetically pleasing way. And yes, there had to be gratuitous amounts of that fleshy-pink color. It really should not be difficult to understand why I associate that color with albinism. |8|

:bulletblue: Note of interest about albinos:
Oh, one more thing, it's very important for people to understand that albino humans do not have blood red eyes. |8| It amazes me how many people don't do their homework before drawing an albino or creating an albino character. Albino's typically have light, sometimes steely blue eyes that appear pink in the right light. Several individuals have eyes that appear mostly pink with a slight blue undertone. The human eye is different than most animal's eyes, and this includes those affected by albinism.
:bulletblue:

I TALK TOO MUCH. 8D;; Enjoy!! :heart:

Wow, okay, that's just freaky. XDD We're reading a book in class called "Ghost Boy" about an albino boy who goes off to join the circus. He had blue eyes, too, and I also found out that apparently albinos have a LOT of trouble seeing almost EVERYTHING....but enough of that.

I really like how you did this, Melissa! ^^ The shadow over the eyes really brought them out, and the shirt is incredibly realistic. The background colors also make the picture kind of jump out at you.

and this may seem really random, but I personally think that albino people are some of the prettiest on earth, especially the African-American ones. ^^

Yes, there are differenty kinds of albinism, some of which do not even affect the hair and skin, but the one thing that all albinos have in common is albinism of the eye. In a really REALLY generalized way, you can think of albinism is when they're lacking something, not when they have something extra. So most albinos suffer from things like astigmatism and photophobia (extreme sensitivity to light) But it's important to remember that there are lots of different levels of albinism and not all albinos are affected in the same ways. :nod:

WOW, TEACHER-MODE. |8D;

They were sort of neccessary. owo;; You couldn't hardly SEE his eyes against his skin.

I'm glad, I wanted the BG to do that. :nod:

Yeah, they are some of the more common albinos. :nod: They say it probably originated in Africa, but people of all nationalities are potential carriers these days. Personally I think albino ASIANS are the prettiest. :heart:

Quit trying to dial 911 While I'm talking to you! DX
:iconmaebelleine:
S...SQUEAL. eAe:heart::heart:

HEEEEEEEEE IT'S THE ALBINO-BOY PICTURE YOU TOLD ME ABOUT. HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

....HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. ewe:heart:

Besides the obvious let me point out what I like about this.

I love how simple it is. It really works together. You managed to capture realistic features into nice, simple shapes, which ain't easy. Nice job on that, I've always admired those who have that skill.

What lovely hair you have there! D8 Despite the fact that it's white and ALBINO HAIR which automatically makes it amazing, I really love that hair shape. It looks real good with the rest of 'im.

Very nice color choice as well, you really made your eye focus on the boy itself, WHERE YOU SHOULD ALREADY BECAUSE HE IS /ALBINO/ AND DESERVES YOUR ATTENTION WITHOUT THE AIDE OF OTHER COLORS.

AND I LOVE THE FACT THAT HE IS INDEED ALBINO

BECAUSE YOU CERTAINLY COULD NOT FIGURE THAT OUT ON YOUR OWN.
I love albino people more than you. D;

AND TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION WHY YES ALBINO PEOPLE ARE BEAUTIFUL THAT WORD DOESN'T EVEN COVER IT THANK YOU.

Now excuse me I must go lock innermae up.

Besides the weird obsession with albinos... Their eyes are pink/red because they have no pigmentation of any kind even their hair is see through! You are seeing their blood vessels is the only reason they seem pink! So ha! xD

"0MG N1C3 CAM3RA 1 WANT Y0UR CAM3RA S0 1 CAN TAK3 P1CTUR3S L1KE Y0U!"- People

You don't see people saying "OMG I WANT YOUR PENCIL!" do you?

Cameras are tools to express artistry, the camera doesn't make the photo, the artist does. Respect my art please!
:iconfldwolf:
DUDE. albinos effing rock, no? you've inspired me to draw my old albino again.
This is such a gorgeous picture. I love it and the background is so awesome.
:iconfreascababe:

Holy crap it's so cool!! I love the eyes, nose, and lips!

Once my sister had albino pet rabbit. The red eyes were coooool. Then he got eaten by a pack of stray dogs. D:

XD I bet I'm some sort of albino. My skin is sensitive and I'm naturally pale. But my eyes are green/hazelly gold or something weird like that. Then my black hair makes me look paler. And the fact that I mainly wear black.
