Yea... um... sorry I SUCK. I haven't been here in ages -__-;. I haven't even practiced drawing in three weeks ( I get this weird thing I called " artists block", where I magically lose my talent to draw for a certain period of time from demonic babies, but then when I least expect it, I can draw again. D: Please full-view and comment or w/e you people do. Umm...Naruto!!! XD

Just starting out. It transformed quite a bit: the original picture was a doodle I made when I was starting out, and I hated it, so I drew over it and made a pseudo-caricature (not really a caricature since I hardly exaggerrated anything) of a guy I know. Reference photo: http://www.feebonics.org/images/genia4_photo.jpg.
pandabarrie (Mar 13, 2006)
ohh!! color! one of your two that are colored :D told you i liked this one! still doI didn't like the original picture: it was something I tried when I was starting out, and it was a pretty ugly sketch to start coloring, so I ended up doing a quick pseudo-caricature of a guy I know.

Trying a bit more than a head this time since I have all this canvas space in the advanced section. I'm just going to try to copy the photo directly this time as closely as possible.http://www.kristiaknowles.net/images/gallery/fitness/fit2.jpg I'm not sure I'll get anywhere. Thanks all for the encouragement. [Edit] This is the opposite of what I'm striving to do artistically as my goal is to draw more loosely from references (using information from the reference to make a completely different picture, not drawing the reference) and ultimately without needing references at all, but I wanted to try a shot at being unpainterly and more photorealistic: the antethesis of what I've been trying to do. To get the line drawing and major landmarks as accurately as possible, I initially started with a grid for the line drawing. This allowed me to shade and color more loosely without worrying about correcting inaccuracies from the previous stages. I don't think I quite got there as I still got lazy on the shading and didn't quite interpret the values correctly. It looks correct sized down, but not up close.
Zack (Apr 5, 2006)
You might find it an interesting exercise to take a ref and try drawing it at a different angle. As soon as I have more free time I intend to make a number of drawings that are loosely referenced like that; maybe they have the same angle but different lighting, or they have different shading styles, etc. Personally, I see loose references as training wheels and strict references as crutches, but that's in terms of my own artistic goals and not a criticism of other artists here. In light of your goals, I'd say dropping the grid system is probably a good idea.
comd (edited Apr 5, 2006)
Modifying angles, lighting, or the original 3D form of the reference is the kind of stuff I'd like to ultimately do when using references. Just anything that demands the 3D form is understood so that it could be used to produce other 3D forms is what would benefit me most. I tend to be more 2D-oriented when copying photos regardless of whether I'm using measuring devices or just freehanding, and that's useful for copying 2D images, but not for inventing 3D ones. I tend to ask questions like, "what's the 2D shape of this highlight? How does it relate vertically and horizontally to this other mark?" Rather than, "what's the 3D form of this figure"? If I understood the 3D form, then I could invent my own highlights without using the precise shapes in the photograph.I pretty much knew this picture wasn't what I should have been doing when I started on it based on my goals, regardless of the grid (though the grid made it that much worse). I set out only to draw the reference as accurately as possible and nothing more. In that sense, it's one of my biggest failures since that's the last thing I want to be doing in the future as I progress. I didn't even try to experiment with painterly techniques - I was trying to be as unpainterly as possible in this one so that it would look just like a photo. Generally I get the most comments about the painterly aspects of my works when working from photos, but this time I really wanted to try not being painterly (I tend to be painterly for economical purposes, not intentionally). I didn't even really achieve the photorealism I intended to achieve despite the use of the grid for the line drawing, so I didn't even succeed in that respect. While it's completely against my personal goals, I still admire the artists on here who can make their paintings look just like a photograph. I was hoping to achieve it here, but I think I deviated too much in the shading and still relied too much on lines which gave that sort of cartoony effect in places.

omg biggest posts ever. great pic and i've been a victim of the grid in the past. when the masters of the past were working on frescoes - they couldn't draw straight from life, so they did their preliminary drawing and they would grid that whole wall up before doing some of the greatest paintings ever made, theres no shame :):)

Shoebox (Apr 4, 2006)
Bwar. Mazi.I think the red person should have an apple in the middle. The green one has a kiwi, and the yellow one has a lemon.
Gigandas (Apr 4, 2006)
Maybe that's what it is....the melon/kiwi and lemon are still in tact, but the apple got blown away by the wind. Poor red guy... :(
DoOp (Apr 4, 2006)
i thought.. they were hats o_o ah well it's still cute lookin'
fleeting_memory (Nov 2, 2006)
yeah I thought they were hats too-and the sweatband was sad cause he cant cover heads. |

Inspired by a picture I found at CloneManga and A preview pic for one of the stories in 'City Limits'I'm getting tired of seeing girls in these sort of things. I don't care if they're freak experiments or otherwise, why aren't guys being put into this sort of roles anymore? This isn't equality, it's matriarchy in the making. Anyhoo, drawing this gives me another idea for a webcomic...but I'll hold off until I get my first one done (which hasn't even gone past the writing stage yet!). If you want to see the rest of the description, Click here.
comd (Apr 2, 2006)
I like lengthy typing, and I tend to do that quite a bit myself. :) Very nice picture. Are women interested in seeing men naked? It seems to me that even a lot of women find women to be more beautiful subjects for art than men, and most don't seem to be comfortable admitting that they get any sort of arousal from seeing men naked (if they do actually get excited at all). I'm not sure why that is. I like naked women a lot. Whoopee!
hideyourface (Apr 2, 2006)
why? because it takes up space and its kind of annoying to have to scroll past all of it. Thats only me though.
Mifuyne (edited Apr 2, 2006)
hideyourface: Well, I apologize for my lengthy description. I forgot that the description shows up next to the image on the board, causing the cell to stretch...and not everyone has the same resolution as I do. I'll be more careful with the image description next time.On that note, the lengthy part of the description has been replaced with a link to it. comd: I find men as beautiful, if not moreso, than women. Maybe I say this because I truly am tired of looking at naked, or scantily clad women polluting the media. The fact that it seems not a lot of people can make men look beautiful with art might stem from the fact that people are too wrapped up with the idea that men are evil or something...Assuming that you paint what you "see" in your head and no what you see with your eyes. Women do get aroused from seeing men naked, but they're too concerned for their self-image to admit it. If they say they do get aroused at looking at men naked, then they may be called a slut or a whore for it. It's the fact that current society is too judgemental for anyone to really admit to anything, thus they can't be true to themselves or they risk being criticized. |

I really need to work on drawing without the lines, so, yeah.
Really nice of all of you, I appreciate it :)
Okay, this is on the wrong board.
This is Intermidiate/Advanced quality.
And thank you too Sanzo. Usually though I don't use the intermediate board unless I use the extra space. Which may never happen since the beginner board got more pixels to play with.
