Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I did more then just this but this was near the end, the rest are pretty sloppy because I was practicing with a new form of toning that i learned today
2 minute ones
oh gosh, this made me laugh too hard
Captain God King.
That's going in my lexicon.
It's very subtle, i think some of your other drawings have been a little heavy handed.
One thing I will remember though is when I plan losing the ear in shadow, to still use a slightly dark enough line to indicate the top half so it doesn't look lopped off
Nice drawing by the way, good likeness. Much better control of your values overall.
Oh wow lady! She can be my saloon wench anyday.
Each update I just get more and more excited for you.
so today my speed in creating master copies nearly tripled, I spent about a hour and a half just trying to figure it out and then about 50 minutes left of class I did this
anddd then my 20 minute head lay ins
my instructor showed me how to lay in eyes that are downward and explained more with tone
edit: brand and all that
probably one of my most-hated drawing instruments...and only because of the scratchiness, really! Are those scratchy?
(I had to use a charcoal pencil for a still life in one of my art classes, years ago...I had goosebumps for the entire 3-hour class, every class)
These from a class?

Yeah I don't like to use the charcoal pencils as much as most of the other students here. They give me that nails on chalkboard feeling. Though, the conte charcoal pencils are nowhere near as bad as the Wolf Carbon or Primos. And there really is no other tool that is so versatile and quick for drawing.
Yeah, same here. Good to know, then! I will completely ignore Mr.Bacon, and avoid the Wolf brand of charcoal pencil.
YOU ARE ALL FOOLS
But I've noticed that a lot of painters/sketchers (noooo not the shoes)/artists who do art in the traditional mediums don't think that jewelry is art.
This is frustrating to me because I can spend hours on a piece and have people say 'It's not art. Did you make the beads? the wire? the findings? No? then it's just a craft'
btw the jewelry I make is not the seed bead knitting stuff, which usually is considered art.
I have to use color palettes and deal with scale and all that jazz, but jewelry also has to be wearable...which is why I don't understand why people think it's so damn easy. If I can paint a red circle in the bottom left corner of a canvas and leave the rest blank and have it be considered art, why the hell can't a necklace be put into the same category?
I just want to know people's perspective on this
My perspective is that you should have posted this in the Questions/Discussion/Tutorials thread or the chat thread, rather than the first thread you happened to come across.
Thanks for cheering me up
Yeah I am not sure exactly why you chose Loom's thread for this and not say the Discussion thread. But I don't mind derailing Loomdun's thread at all!
I don't really know what you are talking about honestly. I don't consider painting a red circle in the bottom left corner of a canvas and leaving the rest blank art, and I used to do some silver-smithing and jewelry craft myself...I was actually pretty decent at it. So I think you are kind of playing the martyr here a bit. People love jewelry and have a lot of respect for the people who make it. I don't think it requires the same skillset as doing a figurative painting, but not many things do.
If you are pissed about people painting red circles think how pissed real painters get when they have to spend months on a painting and then some douche does that. It's enough to make you hate humanity.
You aren't going to last long around here.
