A tutorial on the very basics of foreshortening I decided to do to hopefully help someone who asked.

Some notes to accompany the animation:
+ Draw from life. This is the most important exercise in learning how to draw anything.
+ Get to understand basic geometric forms, and how to distort them in space. It is much more tricky than it seems.

I'm still learning, so please do mention if you don't agree with something I've done.

:D this is adorable! My mom was telling me about a possible school fundraisers involving pink flamingos... you put a ton of them in someones yard and leave a note saying that you will remove the flamingos for 20 dollars but for 30 dollars you will put them in another yard of your choosing.

kinda reminded me of that

Rakugaki (Sep 16, 2007)

That is SO awesome! It somehow reminds me of Disney's Fantasia.
Really really neat colors~

Amazing alien flautist! So good to see you drawing!

clover_pocky (Oct 23, 2007)

Gorgeous. My only comment as a wind player is that the left hand should be positioned above the right.

*nod*

Kloxboy (Oct 23, 2007)

This turned out really well. I like the designs, it's all very trippy.

Sweetcell (Oct 23, 2007)

Wow, just wow. All those luscious colors and designs. I wanna lick it like candy, and then put it on a shirt.
So glad your back Deino.

I like the different colors on each face, nice work.

davincipoppalag (Oct 22, 2007)

A variation on those famous theatrical face masks with one smiling and one frowning, and now we have one in between. Nice

Deino (Oct 22, 2007)

I love the coloring... it looks like a painting.

Why

zombii (Oct 21, 2007)

WARNING, DISTURBING DESCRIPTION AHEAD:

This morning I read a newborn baby was found in a pastic bag on the bottom of a lake in Denmark a few years ago. In the bag was a stone with "Forgive me. Rest in peace. Mommy and daddy loves you, my little boy." written on it. When I read those lines, I started crying... What happened? I'd understand if some psycho parent killed his/her own baby and dumped it in a lake just like that, then it'd be obvious he/she was out of his/her mind and should be locked up in a mental hospital for the rest of his/her life, but.. Why did he/she write that on the rock? That's what really confuses me. Was it a facade?Or did it come from the heart? Just.. What happened?

I had to get this out of my system.

It's a sick world sometimes..you never know what people are thinking(or not thinking) when they do something. That's so tragic and sad

Piksi (Oct 21, 2007)

Aw, that's terrible. ;-; How could anybody do that..

Deino (Oct 22, 2007)

Sad story :( The image also makes me feel bad, very nicely done thougt.

I think it is really just mediocre. Jillj

Sweetcell (Oct 21, 2007)

This ones interesting. Looks like ink laid out on oil.

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Oct 21, 2007)

I suppose you could say that, although the spelling is different and you can leave out the "medi" completely:

o·cher or o·chre (?'k?r) Pronunciation Key
n.
Any of several earthy mineral oxides of iron occurring in yellow, brown, or red and used as pigments.
A moderate orange yellow, from moderate or deep orange to moderate or strong yellow.

Nothing he paints is "medi"ocre.

Sweetcell (Oct 21, 2007)

DBA, how you doing sweetie? Been missing you around here.

I agree, the colors in this are really great. Nice work.

SoraItachi (Oct 19, 2007)

This is so adorable. It'd look really nice as a binder or notebook cover or something for school.

NOVEMBER93 (Oct 19, 2007)

I like this. A lot. I would buy a bag with this on it

Sweetcell (Oct 21, 2007)

I never commented? Hate when that happens.
I want this on a pillow, maybe with pink fringe around.
Or a shirt would be nice.
I'm envious of people who have mastered solids. It's
harder than most think.
Paint BBS? Really? Wow.
