Post your sketches here!

[CelesJessa]

I'm just going to do the most recent stuffs because... well I don't want to comment on the little argument in here. Sorry for all of the farther back stuff.

Savage Thinking - He looks so happy. ^^ A very unique style, I think. Strangely, I particularly like his pointy tongue.

TopHat - Hah Brute Force, is that his name? That's great! And holy crap, he has a lot of weapons. One question: What's behind him? I see a red shape between his legs but I'm not sure what it belongs to. Also, that is a TIGHT shirt. =D

Celes - Welcome! (I particularly like your choice in screenname (Celes rocks, yo) Although now I might get confused with another Celes around. ) Ironically, I think your title (the "not an opera floozy" one) was one of the first ones I used too. XD Aaaanyway. That drawing rocks. I think you did a fantastic job with making it look mechanical. Very nice.


I decided to scan some of my pages of my notes for school and share the sketches I do in the margins (I get bored easily, especially in dance history class, which is what all of these sketches are from). Apparently I like to draw Samus during my class.

The girl on the bottom is actually someone in my class, I hope she didn't think I was weird when I was looking at her and drawing her. ^^;;; Oh well, I was behind her, so maybe she didn't notice.


There's an actual page of my notes. I take fantaastic notes /sarcasm.

I am constantly in a struggle to design a new armorless Samus because I don't particularly like her Zero Suit design (Especially her hair.) Although, suited samus will always be cooler, so I draw her more. =D

They're just a bunch of sketches, little to no erasing, so they're pretty messy.

Does anyone know if this is where I would post my photoshop stuff, or should I make a new thread for photoshop.

I guess that might depend on what you did with photoshop. Since most all of my completed works are colored with Photoshop, and I put them in here.

Might as well post it here and find out.

[Savage Thinking]

Well... I don't think I'll ever stop seeing my stuff as sucking, even if I improved leaps and bounds from here

Psh.. Looks like we're gonna hafta take that kind of mentality out of ya. >>

CJ:
I'm lovin' those poses. Gives off that 'feminine but will still whoop your ass' look. Also, on that second picture, with the eye and nose, is incredible. Seriously, just really sticks out to me.

Anyway, here's another sketch I did with the tablet by drawing over a picture of me. Again. This one is a side view picture. I really love the shadowing.

[Celes]

CelesJessa - Ooh. Dang. I knew my old screenname would catch up with me. xD;; Too bad "Morphine" was already taken here... Thanks so much though~

Savage Thinking - Well poo. I'm old and stubborn and stuck in my ways. You can't change meeee...

>_<;; It'd be nice to have recent finished stuff... but I guess for now, today's offering from the junk folder... xD;;

[TDK]

Wah! No fair, another person who's much better than me...T_T

*mope*

:p

...Is what I would have said earlier, but now I feel a lot better. Yay!

I didn't draw anything today because I was too busy moping, but expect a lot of drawings in the next few days.

Awesome Samus, CJ!!

Hmm... maybe I should get my notebook sketches scanned one of these days...

Celes (NOT JESSA!! :p ) - I agree with Savage that the wolf has an Okami feel to it. ROBO-KAMI!!!!

Love the anime chick too.


As for me, I've been fiddling around in Paint on my laptop again, and I came up with this dude. The bottom left is the latest version-- I'm still working on fixing his nose and jawline and a few other things. Then I gotta figure out how the rest of his body should look. o.O

[CelesJessa]

Savage Thinking - Very nice! I love it. How do you go about the process of drawing that kind of style? (like the shading and all of the lines) although I wonder why the lips aren't shaded as well. It might be a style thing, but it makes them kind stand out against the rest of the shaded picture (or it makes him kind of look like he's wearing lipstick ) I love the way that you do hair.

Celes - Very nice, I am loving her braids and her bangs especially. One thing though, I can't quite tell what's going on with her arms. At first glance, the furry fabric looks like a cape (to me), and I think it's supposed to be, but, to me, it looks like it's all behind her, instead of maybe wrapping around her (like I think what is going on), so her arms are kind of lost to me. Other people might not feel that way, but I've been looking at it for awhile trying to figure out where the arms would be, and I'm still unsure. Very awesome drawing though! I love it!

Mauve - Very awesome. For some reason, I like the uncolored bald one a lot. It has a very nice shape to his head. It really looks fabulous. I think the nose looks fine, although the jawline might need to be brought down a little bit (which is strange, because the jawline looks great in the little black and white drawing hmm...) Maybe it's the lips that throw off the jawline. Still, very nice!


I finally got ALL of my art assignments back from this semester, but I have no camera at the moment. Hopefully I'll be able to share them relatively soon (don't be expecting anything like realism or anything. It was a design class, so they're all a bunch of exercises on different principals of art (such as line creating a focal point, how colors effect each other, line quality, etc...) But I think they look cool. =D

There's not really much to it really. I use the brush tool in photoshop with the width set to one pixel, and being tracing. I usually end up working at about 400-800% zoom for the sake of precision.

For the hair, I just trace over the strands on the outer parts of the hair and then fill it with a thick brush for the big empty parts. Then, I get smaller, purposefully not coloring some parts and leaving it white for highlights.

although I wonder why the lips aren't shaded as well. It might be a style thing, but it makes them kind stand out against the rest of the shaded picture (or it makes him kind of look like he's wearing lipstick )

Heheh... Actually, when I posted the picture up, I didn't notice the lips. After looking at it, I was all "Oh snap! I forgot the shade the lips!!" but was too lazy to go back and fix it. So it stayed.

Hmm.. A cape? I always thought they were exaggerated sleeves. Like, they were made really long and big which is why there's no indication of arms and hands. Similar to the sleeves Flying Snow had in the movie Hero.

Hehe Ah that's a perfectly reasonable explanation. =D I hate it when I forget to color stuff.

Ah yeah, I thought that at first too, but it looks like it's going behind her, like a cape, so it confuses me.
