I really like the bird! Cardinal, I suppose?

I have no idea. If you're a fellow artist, the same bird is on the box of pencils when you buy it. I just randomly sketched that looking at the pic on the box of pencils... :P

Birds are cool though. And you can never take that from me!

Thanks! I tried. I actually got failing grades for some of these. All were done in high school, I took 4 years of art. I originally even wanted to be a art teacher, although I still think it all sux!! Lol. Only posted for Quiller, really.

No, when you said it's only for Quiller. But okay, I call a truth. 

EDIT: Er-I mean truce

Oh wowowowow. That very first red flower is gorgeous. And your bird drawings are so on point.

But what really makes my jaw drop is the patterning and shading you did in that picture of the mother and her infant, because everything in that sketch looks amazing. I wish it had been colored, because the way you color is very bold and beautiful, with so much saturation and use of primary tones. (But especially that first flower. I just can't get over how nicely you shaded its petals.)

Gaaaah. How do you art? I am completely and unrepentantly jealous of your coloring skills.

My Artwork

8 years ago
Thanks for the compliments! Told ya that your jaw would drop... XD

But really? That one? Please.... I didn't even finish so I got a 60 lol. And the baby had a double chin! (Told ya I can't draw people, at all!) And that rose was seriously had as hell... you can see where the colors tried to blend. Watercolors are so freakin' hard! It's a shame I stopped doing art when I stopped writing.

And oh man... wish I could show you my paper mache! I made a 2 foot tall punk monkey and a piggy bank that had a shirt that read 'Bite Me' lol. It even had a wire twirly tail... :P (Sadly, they didn't survive.)

Okay i am working on something at the moment and i'll share it when i am done.

My Artwork

Looking forward to it! (It's so makes me uncomfortable to be the only one sharing!) XD

My Artwork

Unfortunately though i can't do originals... i have to look at a picture when drawing. NOT TRACING! I despise tracing.

My Artwork

8 years ago
Most of mine were actually from drawing looking at something as well...

Just compare my Site 59 drawing. (People and freedrawing aren't my forte, lol.)

My Artwork

8 years ago

There's nothing wrong with tracing as practice to get a better feel for how to draw different styles though. As long as you don't repost the traced artwork and claim it as your own.

Sometimes you don't realize the subtle things you're doing wrong until you draw something that's actually right.

(Although, what you're doing is much harder and will definitely improve your skills faster, tbh.)

I'll post some of my recent stuff....

Awesome, Zag! Looks real good. How long have you been drawing? And whatever you do never stop for anything. I haven't really drawn in 10 years, aside from my recent sketch.

My Artwork

8 years ago

Oh thanks! I've been drawing for a while, but it took me a while to get sorta-good. XD. I remember making poor quality comics about super-heroes when I was a little kid.

My Artwork

8 years ago

LOL, I remember doing that too. And drawing things like uber powerful ninja swordsman with green fire hair and demon wings, or really badly choreographed fight scenes, haha.

We all gotta start somewhere though, so I'm glad you stuck with it and got good!

My Artwork

8 years ago

Haha! Yeah, I remember making up a few wacky heroes and strange monsters.

My Artwork

Whoa, awesome sketchdump! You have a ton of creative ideas, haha. And you can draw so many different things, I'm kinda envious, since I can't do non humanoids or robots to save my life. ^^

My Artwork

Thanks! I just draw whatever's in my mind half of the time.

Do you draw on a tablet?

My Artwork

8 years ago

Well, yeah. Now I do. I got it pretty recently, and it was kind of tricky to begin. But, I got it down in a few hours.

My Artwork

8 years ago
That's fast, haha! It took me weeks before the stuff I drew on my first tablet stopped looking like crap XD. My lines were all wobbly and I couldn't get the hang of pen pressure AT ALL.

Which tablet are you using?

My Artwork

8 years ago

Well, I can draw much better traditionally, and faster too. I use a Wacom.

My Artwork

I have a tablet too, but it doesn't work on my laptop, and everyone else is always using the computer...

My Artwork

;_;

This cruel world...

My Artwork

Maybe your tablet driver isn't running right? If it's a software problem, you should be able to fix it.

My Artwork

8 years ago

No, its just that my laptop doesn't have a thingy for the CD that allows me to use it. Don't ask me about computers.

My Artwork

8 years ago

Try downloading the driver? There's probably one on the product's website.

My Artwork

My Artwork

Which tablet are you using? The manufacturing company usually has a website that offers download for their drivers (that's how I installed mine, and I haven't had any issues).

My Artwork

8 years ago

I'll have a look at doing that sometime. ^_^

My Artwork

8 years ago
Same here :) I've tried Huion tablets too, but Wacom still works best imho.

My Artwork

Also, I don't have any special drawing software. I just use that good ol' fashioned Paint.

...you poor soul. D: Why on EARTH would you use the soul-sucking evil that is MS Paint? Do you want Paint Tool SAI? I can give you a link to Paint Tool SAI. Or even GIMP. I feel morally obligated to intervene.

My Artwork

8 years ago

I don't even know what those are... `_`

But, it isn't so bad.

My Artwork

8 years ago
PLEASE start using GIMP or SAI. They're both much more professional and way less chunky.

My Artwork

8 years ago

...so you're telling me...that you managed to get as good as you are...without ever using a real painting program?

Well, if you want to draw digitally, you really should consider making your own life a lot easier:

Paint Tool SAI

GIMP

Unlike MS Paint, these will give you layers, opacity settings, different kinds of brushes, textures, filtering, color balance, masking, overlay, lighting effects, smudge, clone tools, blending...you know what, it'd take all day to list everything, so you should just get one and play around with it.

If you really want to get serious, upgrade to Photoshop or Manga Studio (those cost money though, but they have so many more amazing options)

My Artwork

8 years ago
You do kinda need to get the hang of it though, with all of those options. And Manga Studio has really cool stuff but chances are you aren't going to use as many of it when you're not drawing manga.

My Artwork

8 years ago
True, the learning curve is a bit steep, but not that much steeper than getting the hang of a tablet in the first place. And haha, sorry, I might be letting how much I covet Manga Studio bias my advice (...but I want it so badly. Premade textures. Those perspective guides. 3D rotation. I NEED THIS. Why do I have no munny? ;___;)

My Artwork

8 years ago
I'm stuck with Paint Shop Pro 7 because of no munnies,so shutup;__;

Thank you! Fantasy is more of my specialty though. I couldn't draw realistically if it were for my life.

My Artwork

Holy crap, those dragons are EPIC. All your fantasy creatures are amazing! And looking at your guidelines, you freedraw all of them without references?! HOW. TALENT. GIMME.

My Artwork

8 years ago
Thanks xD Yeah, I do like 98% without references, mainly cause I'm in school or things like that and it's easier to just do without. I only ever reference humans and specific characters.

My Artwork

It's fantastic, and so many talented artists were just hiding their abilities!

I love the softness of your lines, by the way. How are you getting them to do that?

My Artwork

8 years ago

I don't press very hard on my tablet (but this was when its pressure-sensitivity was still working :/), and/or I turn opacity way down. Not sure why I do it. I actually have to create multiple copies of a layer to darken the lines sometimes!

My Artwork

8 years ago
But the effect is worth it! It looks very, very nice.

I have to duplicate my lineart layers too, although not for the same intentional artistic flair yours has. I always draw super zoomed in, and then when I zoom out, the lines are too faint, whoops.

My Artwork

8 years ago
Nice drawings! I love your profile, btw! :)

My Artwork

Yeah, I like the soft lines! I also liked the pictures of Sent. :P

My Artwork

Awesome! Like quiller said, your lines look amazing. Mine are too thick/bulky/chunky/ugly in general even with pressure sensitivity turned on xD I usually try to make up by like.. Coloring the whole damn thing? You don't need that at all to make your drawing look nice. *-* I like how artsy/painty the whole thing looks.

My Artwork

8 years ago

This was an experiment with a different style for a commission I got a while back: link

Still haven't got the hang of painting real life people, haha, and it's one of the only times I bothered with a full colored background.

My Artwork

8 years ago

YOU DREW THAT!!!??

My Artwork

8 years ago
I had a reference for the background, but the people are from scratch. First time I tried painting without lineart.

My Artwork

8 years ago

That was freaking beautiful. I really wish I have the talent. I use to draw and draw and draw until I started realizing it was crap.

My Artwork

8 years ago
I used to draw and draw and everything I drew was crap. But after 10+ years of drawing crap, you're bound to improve sooner or later.

My Artwork

8 years ago

And also, I am so lazy I don't want to transfer the photos to my computer. Eh, I know right?

My Artwork

8 years ago

I'm no better in that regard, but really, the only way you're going to stop making subpar art is to keep at it so you can learn from those mistakes and build upon and improve your skills.

My Artwork

8 years ago
I think it's impressive you drew the people from scratch. Somehow my humans always end up with a dislocated arm, knee or elbow xD

Would any of you artists be up to playing the Three Lines Game?

My Artwork

8 years ago

Usually when I put pencil to paper, it ends up looking like a pomergranate-butter-and-shit sandwich, but this time, I feel like I did arright. After a lengthy discussion with a friend about such matters during a babysitting session where we made let the kids watch Kung-Fu Panda, I was trying to figure out what the hell kind of animal would represent the Drunken Kung Fu style, because all the other ones were fairly straightforward, (Tiger, Snake, Monkey, Crane, etc.) but who would the Zui Quan guy be? Not a panda. Panda's probably more of a Tai Chi guy than anything. Honestly, the most drunken-boxer-y animal I've ever seen is probably the Koala... Aaanyway, no more stalling. Master Tiger vs. Koala So

Hey, if you sneeze during the coloring process and you shake your mouse during the mini-convulsion, and it causes you to accidentally color a huge line across your picture... Would you say... You made... A boner?

For some reason, I don't get it.
