No, Marcello, the shadow is behind him, on the inside ledge of the cliff that you cant see. Consistent with all the other shadows. (That is, if he is casting one yet. He just now jumped :) He would have to still be standing on the ledge for there to be a shadow there.

lol @ that jump onto the ground comment. If you move him furthur up, it might help to clear it up. I like the sensation in the drawing, probably because of the free and open pose of the chracter. Feels like flying.

Yeah, I do see what he means... I probably wasn't successful in portraying how it actually looked - We are (supposed to be) viewing it from a rock a little higher up on the cliff looking downward at him and he was right on the edge. But if i gotta explain it, it means it sucks! lol

My first furry

LightBen (Jan 22, 2004)

Instead of drawing a human character, I tested a furry.
I dunno if it's good so tell me about it (I need to know how to draw a furry for a game I'll make ... someday).

he's cute, but you might wanna make his nose a bit smaller and the fur on his chest is kinda weird >>;
but nice

marcello (Jan 22, 2004)

haha.
I agree about the chest fur, not that you shouldn't put any, but the lines don't have the same quality as everything else.

drawn in 6 min

Ok I arranged the fur on his chest, it should be better now :)

staci (Jan 23, 2004)

a nice lookin pic... the sea looks cool

staci (Jan 23, 2004)

i like this..the towel kinda looks airborne, but the sea is pretty and the plane is a nice touch.

brushes4 (Jan 23, 2004)

thanks for the kind words. lol i was trying to make the towel look like it was going to blow away but kept thinking it looked like a airmattress instead. i guess i'll leave the towel alone now lol.

windowseat light

dixielandcutie (Jan 22, 2004)

okay, here's some inanimate objects, as directed...tried to do the shading...hmmm....may need more work. also, diregard the very funky perspective. i tried to fiddle with that too, but the window and dresser are one way while the wall and the floor another...eh, i guess ill work on perspective after i get a better grip on shading. hehe. OOOk.

staci (Jan 22, 2004)

another good way to learn is to look at other peoples drawings. dont copy them..but take notes i guess. and as far as inanimate objects..you need to start smaller. try like..just books, or something in your room..just one or two things..with a surface..a light source(dont DRAW the light source, just note where its coming from)..skip the wall the floor the dresser the window..all that and concentrate on the object. hope that helps.

dixielandcutie (Jan 22, 2004)

right...*thinking baby steps*...yeah, ive been all over the other boards...wow. some really amazing stuff. thanks so much for the tips. will do. :)

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jan 22, 2004)

Dixie, this is so much improvement from the first one already! Icats is right, and as i suggested also - books, fruit, simple objects and concentrate on the object. (She's right about the light source - u dont have to depict that in the picture for this to work) You do need to study the things under a good source of light coming from a definite direction. You can apply this lesson to objects everywhere you go, during a the course of a normal day. Study objects, note the different colors (there are dozens of different colors and values of colors in something that on first glance may appear to be gray, such as a street, or the sky, for example) and make a mental note of how the light plays on things, casting shadows and creating highlights. (I guess go to your msg. board and I'll put some stuff on perspective.. this is getting too long! :)

marcello (Jan 22, 2004)

um, here's a tip. It's a lot easier to read long text like that if you put some line breaks in. If you click the little +/- buttons on the bottom right of the comment box, you can actually expand it to see more of your typing. It helps a lot. :-)
