Basic Drill

HunterKiller_ (Jan 2, 2006)

Apple from life. Wouldn't it be great if we could see more of this type of stuff on the beginners board?

EDIT: Crits are very welcome. I think tones on the bottom of the apple aren't dark enough and look flat.

Really good job on this one HK. I want to take a bite.

woah_pockster (Jan 2, 2006)

ooh what a very ripe apple. :D I hate apples, but this makes me want to get one and eat it. :P wonderfuljob, maybe darken the bottom of the apple? :P <3

frootcake (Jan 3, 2006)

bits look like oils and bits look a bit flat, but the good bits are better than the bad bits and all i want is big bites

Miss_DJ (Mar 16, 2006)

a few more just like that, and I'd bake you a pie. Lovely and delicious!

trying to clear my studio, for better for worse

davincipoppalag (Jan 4, 2006)

Not sure I like the dark outlines..but it's a powerful piece.

this is really cool, Dave

SYTHE (Jan 4, 2006)

Alas poor dead guy, we hardly knew ye. Nice use of panel shading techniques.

Original sculpture by Edgar Degas
This drawing, the first of mine signed with "06" has varios purposes:

1.- Experiment with quick and spontaneous traces, like... impressionism :)
2.- See how well can I do without any previous sketch
3.-Practice the human figure (Yes, she is a little desproportionate... read above)
4.- Tell everyone... Hapy New Year! 2006 YAY!!!!

Deino (Jan 3, 2006)

Thaks for the comments! ^^
Frootcake, I still need to to the wallpaper drawing... sorry, I'm just to forgetful :(
And about the squarey background, I just changed the canvas texutre a little bit. :D

Kloxboy (Jan 3, 2006)

It looks like a bronze sculpture. Pretty coolness, nice effect.

terracotta (Jan 3, 2006)

That hauty posture you captured is perfect. I'm not seeing anything out of proportion, I think it just looks that way because we can't see all of her right foot.

Dhalsim

Kloxboy (Jan 2, 2006)

Because I felt like drawing someone big. I realize Dhalsim isn't this huge but I just like this style.

Klox got game

Facial detail practise

alwaysLearning (Dec 7, 2004)

This started out to be practise just doing an eye and eye area, but sort of grew into a larger view. I'm practising the details of drawing faces, and this is one of my first from-scratch attempts to do so in colour, using oekaki. Yes, I know he (she?) is pale. Please let me know if the skin tones are so light that the shading isn't showing.

I fully expect to come back and finish this, but family responsibilities have been interrupting so much I thought I'd better do a safety save (and yes, that means that the timer is off, by quite a bit).

I'm just glad to see you back a.l.

Well, I'm trying to get a bit more anatomical accuracy, depth of concept, and visual interest going on in this picture... ...but I still can't tell if I got the skin colour too light or not. Regardless, I think my next edit will probably be my last.

Yes, that is intended to be a blade centered between his/her eyes -- I haven't decided for certain if it's an arrow, or a spear, but I'm leaning toward arrow. Speaking of which, I'm hoping to address the perspective problems next time.

It may not be much of a picture, but I'm pretty happy with the eye, overall. Any useful suggestions for improving it (especially the eyelashes, which don't look right, and I'm not sure why) will be gratefully welcomed.

Here's to hoping to come around more often, and hoping that the intervening months spent working on sharpening my artistic skills are actually showing results. :)

Artiste (Jan 2, 2006)

Well, Im new here so I feel a little weird giving advice, but it seems pretty obvious to me that you need to 'let go' a little in your painting. There is a tendency in beginner painters to noodle with a painting for too long. Loosen your strokes a little, and dont be afraid to f-up the peice. Its not the sistine chapel. The eyelashes dont feel right because I think youve messed with them too much, and now they look perfectly symmetrical. If you look at a photo of a person's face you will see that eyelashes dont actually look like little hairs, they look very often like a dark area, and if youre looking up close, you wont see every hair, but rather a few hairs here and there. Your modeling is good... and the color part of eyeball is very nicely done.

Opium (edited Jan 2, 2006)

you've definetly got a great start! I agree with artiste, the eyelashes need some more work. the eyelashes on the top lid, you shouldn't see till about the end of the iris, then it should gradually be little lashes, and the ones on the end on the right, should be defined...you could even show a few eyelashes on the left side too, but those are very short and not as dramatic. the bottom should be very faint. and is that an eyebrow ring? I'd get some references of them and just look at them, where they're placed, and how their shadows look. It's a good piece so far! and I like the pale skin :) It fits. Keep working at it! It might help to get a mirror and use yourself kind of as a reference

sorry it took so long to say "i love you"

frootcake (Jan 2, 2006)

Hmmm... fascinating piece. Colours are great.

Zack (Jan 3, 2006)

I really like this. wonderfully surreal.

terracotta (Jan 11, 2006)

Peter Pan meets Picnic At Hanging Rock. Music sounds like the 70's band Yes in Icelandic. Love your picture.

kejoco (edited Jan 11, 2006)

This is a great picture but my first instinct was to laugh
I just pictured people heaving themselves off the cliff and falling, and the body position of the first guy together with the fact that he is out so far made me laugh

I'm actually a fan of sigur ros, and i am a fan of this drawing as well

Good action in this..you can almost feel the punch..

TOL-CREW (Jan 2, 2006)

you got knocked the $%^* out!

Opium (edited Jan 2, 2006)

you got it down, definetly! I like the way you did the head, it gives it alot of action. the only criticism I have is maybe have some shading on the left arm to draw it back more, like right where the elbow fold is...and are the nipples up too high? I think they might be more down and slightly askew outwards...but I could be wrong :) nice picture though!
