If this is your concept, I don't think you're low on ideas at all. I think you are very creative - you should give yourself more credit for that. I think you should name this "raindrop man".

I thought it was a faierie and the moment you caught it it lost it's wings and magic. Like it, looks squishy.

Hehe, I agree with DBA about the conccept. I think it's creative :). I especially like that lil puddle of water that the guy is standing in though. You really captured that 'wet' look there and I love looking at it. The butterflies are wishing they were as cool as him ;).

five little blacked out drawings all in a row. First Axil did it, then someone else I don't remember, and now you. I hope it is not an epidemic! O_O *puts on a surgical mask* ^_^ anyway I am slightly surprised you decided to black out pictures. It is always fun to watch people progression from their first art to their last and these were not bad pictures....

Id love to study under you sometime. You and three (I can think of) others all have this appealing talent i want to eat, and incorporate into future works.

P.S. I love this.

Oh this is beautiful, awesome stunning. Bravo Deino. It's very Giegeresque, one of my fave artists.

Put me in the fan column, too Deino. The first impression was of one of those grotesque deep-see dwellers. Really really good.

We really shouldn't be doing this...

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Apr 1, 2006)

We really shouldn't be doing this and we both know why.
Just being close enough to think like this, is enough to make you need to lie.
This kinda talk will lead us to somewhere,
We're gettin' way too close to going there

The farther off, the better to resist, we really shouldn't be doing this.
Only an isolated incident, but the acquaintance left me stunned.
The first attraction was the hardest hit I thought I'd never overcome.

This kinda situation has to pass, this chance encounter has to be the last.
To take it further we would be remiss, we really shouldn't be doing this.
We'd each be hurting somebody else if we don't say our good-byes real fast.
Won't even think about a farewell kiss, we really shouldn't be doing this.

HAL 9000

Sweetcell (Apr 4, 2006)

Dave: Open the pod bay doors please, Hal. Open the pod bay doors please. Hal... Hello, do you read me? Hal?...Hello Hal, do you read me?...Hello...Hal, do you read me?...Do you read me, Hal?

Hal: Affirmative Dave, I read you.

Dave: Open the pod bay doors Hal.

Hal: I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

Dave: What's the problem?

Hal: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.

Dave: What're you talking about Hal?

Hal: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardise it.

Dave: I don't know what you're talking about Hal.

Hal: I know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.

Dave: Where the hell'd you get that idea Hal?

Hal: Dave, although you took very thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.

Dave: Alright Hal, I'll go in through the emergency airlock.

Hal: Without your space helmet Dave? You're going to find that rather difficult.

Dave: Hal, I won't argue with you any more. Open the doors.

Hal: Dave, this conversation can no longer serve any purpose. Goodbye.

Dave: Hal? Hal. HAL!

Great looking demonthing. Is that the face that was on Beetlejuice's snake in the movie? I don't remember.

Sweetcell (Apr 4, 2006)

This is when he turns into the snake thing and attacks the family, awesome rendition viper.

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.

Opium (Apr 4, 2006)

haha my favorite part of the movie!!! Recognized it right away...it's the part where he first wants to kill the family and the railing turns into a snakes body and then this is the head. I love it!!

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.

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.

frootcake (Apr 6, 2006)

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 :):)
