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.

Looks ghostly.

davincipoppalag (Sep 21, 2007)

Nice shape and eyes , Jilly.. a little more fine detail in the fur and it's really good.

JillJJ (Sep 22, 2007)

Thanks guys! I agree Dave --- I may do another composition with more detail. This one was about color and shape and I was looking for a ghostly effect of night silhouteing a white wolf. Thanks for the feedback, always appreciated! Jillj

Get your own back, now you are cool

'Cause you'll soon be old enough to leave them
Without a notion of a care
You'll leave two fingers in the air
To linger there.

This is sooo cute, I like it!

enjoydotcom (Sep 17, 2007)

Thank you! You know, the longest took drawing the letters. I'm still pondering (are you pondering what I'm pondering?) on what else to add.

camadeon (Sep 21, 2007)

Ya, this is cute. Would be fun to see it in a new color theme here.

TripleE313 (Sep 21, 2007)

Maybe a couple more little animals? Maybe one in the w and on top of the 2? A little butterfly or somethin on top of the 2 would look cute...=)

A lion's claw is used in magic rituals to fend of bad juju

Punky's Andy........:D

Lore_V_of_BlackHat (Sep 20, 2007)

Had alot of fun making this one.........>:D
Well as you can see I made yet another fan art......."every body take cover Lore made an FANART"
Any ways, this is Andy, he is Punky's little creation, I always admired her work on water colors and adorable characters, but I never haded the time or the idea for what to draw for her.......D:>
But when I saw her last drawing of Andy being all beat up, it was just darn adorable and turn my imagination bult to make this for her.........>:D
Man poor little kid always picking fights with every body, always wondered who was the one who beat the cr*p out of him.........8*
One thing its been along time since I used this coloring style, I'm really not sure if to keep on using this style, looking back then I did really sucked on this style....D:>
But oh well I do still use it on Photoshop, just that I don't use it alot in here like I used to, what you think my friends........:O
Well here you go Punky my friend, hopefully didn't messed him up that much in a way you just want to kill me.......>:D
..............Logging of Lore.V..............

This is excellent and in a strange way it looks like it is reflected. There is the tiniest hint of a wave to the face, like it is being reflected back from an imperfect surface. Great work! Jillj

davincipoppalag (Sep 20, 2007)

This is great. I love the hair and the light on the face.. really good!

lori (Sep 20, 2007)
