Practicing drawing the folds in my own pants in more detail



I really should be drawing from life more.

I am not as good as pretty much everyone on this side of the site, but I just want to post what I've done in the past two days. I haven't drawn in I don't know how long. Feels good to be doodling and stuff again, especially when I draw things fast and send the image via Xbox camera to friends while in a chat party (as you will see by the "Jawa" messages on some of these). I love hearing chuckles on the other side of the mic.

This one that isn't spoilered...I want to redraw it on a larger piece of paper and frame it for my santee from the G&T Secret Santa. Have any suggestions on markers for coloring and if there is anything else I can do to preserve it?

I know Rick Grimes looks terrible. I just sketched it fast and then inked it with a fine point sharpie. I probably mentioned this before in one of my like three posts on Art forum, but I am terrible at drawing people. This is just my sketchbook stuff, so I am sure if I worked harder it could look a little better.

Yay for Tam-color!!

Obilex

idk

D-Robe

That is great.

Iruka

looks great Obilex, letting go of the texture brushes is really helping you out.

the purple was less toxic on my laptop screen. I will dial it back when I finish this. Either way, I have little regard for your retinas.

I = in luv w/ that jpeg

Obilex

thanks Iruka, I think so too! I'm really learning a lot more this way

One more before bed, too bad I couldn't have finished it before 4AM :P

TheExAm

I like the whole flowing colors motif you've got going on with these recent drawings, Iruka.

Fugitive

Obilex: That's looking pretty good. I think the red on the knees is too strong, though, considering the lightsabers aren't casting light anywhere else on the figure. You should either dull it down, or put more glow elsewhere.

I think the best thing for you to do right now, would be some really heavily referenced stuff, preferably quite realistic. E.G. do a walk, to the point where it's professional, which will probably mean referencing it 100%. I think that will help you a lot lot lot more right now than doing acting pieces like this.

I agree whole heatedly, unfortunately the school I'm in doesn't seem to get that cramming most of their beginning 3d animation stuff into 11 weeks doesn't really give much time to learn anything.

Obilex I like that lightsaber one a lot!

watercolor:

tynic

some small pen and inkwash drawings, for the winners of some of my arts in the PA Solid Saints auction. (subject matter loosely by request).



I fixed up the cat's back end subsequent to this scan, brush was a bit wet.

Obilex

quick enviro

Mangoes

Looks great! Did you use reference?

Obilex

yeap, but I made a point not to color pick, trying to get better at choosing them by hand.

edit: 4:30 am painting of my roomate who is gonna kill me for this, but he does it NONSTOP.

ninjai

so good obelix

Thane

Thats a really specific face Obi

you didn't sit there and paint him right, its from a photo? i hope?

Obilex

yea, face is 100% from photoref and I spent the majority of my time on it. Originally, it was JUST a portrait study, and ended at his neck, but I ended up scaling it wayyy down last minute to make room for everything else.

Mangoes

Not at all scary monster who doesn't mean business:


Trying to work with thumbnail doodles. I'm not happy with it, but I had fun making it.

Why do you have so much 'tude lately, Iruka?

Tam

she got tired of taking your shit

Iruka

I've just been hardened by the streets

....which is working at gamestop?

I think its because john k put into my head that it was bad, and now it makes me giggle to draw myself constantly sneering.

Im sure I'll go back to being adorable in a bit.

Anyway seriously I typed a lot for that tutorial, people better read it.

Thanks! you're colors are always so magical.

TheExAm

No one told me that seductive naked ladies were this fun to draw



I know the hands are attached to the wrist at the wrong point, among various other things, but I can't be bothered to fix it right now, anatomy be damned.

Mangoes

Tried something weird.

Iruka

I like it mango

Mangoes

Thanks! I just read your tutorials, and I'm definitely going to put them into practice on my next painting. I'd never even thought about messing with those buttons.
