Yeah, overkill on the blur. Use it sparingly, after you've done everything manually. (Only in backgrounds where you need to achieve depth, not on the whole pic. it doesnt fix stuff you dont like, it just blurs the whole thing) Dont concentrate so much on drawing the light itself, but instead how the light plays ON THE OBJECT and the shadows it casts. You are getting the idea, tho. Take a little more time doing your picture, study the subject you are doing carefully for details.

i wasnt trying for smooth lines. i know i havent spent much time on it but i will when i have the time! and your caustic remarks may have a purpose but u dont have to say them as sarcastic as you are

Harmanye (Dec 3, 2003)

Here we go, no sarcasm. You're stagnating, spend more time on what you draw.
This doesn't look like anything, the title doesn't have anything to do with the picture, the picture doesn't have anything to do with anything, I don't know WHAT you are going to do with this, but I don't think it will be too great.
There we go, no sarcasm at all.
If you don't like what you hear that's your business, these people have a point.
I'd like to help you improve this picture, but my only advice would be to scrap it, and only draw -When You Have Time To Draw-.

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.

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! :)

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. :-)

Nice lineart and coloring.
But I think it's strange that his hair don't have lines like the face or the shirt.

dixielandcutie (Jan 22, 2004)

definitely a very cool style! i love the soft coloring, and the look on his face.

Alicia (Jan 22, 2004)

I like the shading too , but no mouth reminds me of the"Twylight- zone."

ky (Jan 23, 2004)
