firecracker (Aug 17, 2010)
This is my first time trying to draw a male "torso".... so please bear with me.....it's far from perfect.....but I'm not gonna do any more work on this draw.....I'm tired of working on it. I think it looks ok, since this is my first attempt at drawing a torso...."lol"....:)

FC, it looks perfect! You perfectionist! Please don't delete it! Hot stuff!:))
firecracker (Aug 24, 2010)
Thank you "mad", for your nice comment......I'm glad you think it looks ok......I've wasted so much time just trying to make that one hand look perfect, and I can't do it. I did feel like deleting it, but I guess I'll just leave it be.....I'm tired of wasting time on this draw. I guess I'll just post it as "finished" and be done with it. I was gonna change his hair color to red.....I tried it, and my sister looked at it, and said that she doesn't like red-haired men...."lol".....so...this is the way it's gonna stay.....whether I like it or not. Thanks again for commenting "mad".....I appreciate your comments and opinions....:)

The hair looks perfect! Sometimes I think guys with red hair remind me of Howdy Doody or Bozo the clown! LOL!
firecracker (Aug 25, 2010)
"LOL"!! "mad"....Howdy Doody or Bozo the clown....Hahahaaa.....that really is funny.... I guess I have to agree with you.....I never cared much for red haired men....they look kinda nerdy or something....I dunno what it is.....but most of them are just not very manly looking......but there are exceptions though. Speaking of Howdy Doody.....I used to watch that show all the time when I was a little kid. I never much cared for Bozo the clown though......my sister hates clowns.....she says they're scary. I'm glad I decided to keep my "hunky hunk's" hair the original color....I'm not gonna change it....."lol"!! Anyways.....thanks for your nice comment.....I really do appreciate it. :)

Well....I guess this is a bad habit of mine.....I watch too many "horror" movies...then I sometimes have nightmares...."lolz"! I'm not finished with this pic yet....I didn't know what else to draw....I don't drink...I don't smoke....I don't do drugs....so I had to think of something, and I figure watching too many horror movies would qualify as a bad habit . I grew up watching spooky eerie movies....my brother, sister, and I all have this habit......my brother finally sorta grew out of it....my sister still loves horror movies.....she has the habit worse than me...."lolz". If this doesn't qualify for the contest board.....then just "bump it" to wherever you want......:) I have to post this to "finished" so I can start another draw.....I might try to add more to it some other time. Thanks again for 3rd place.....I really appreciate it!! :)

She is supposed to be a vampire, but I can't get her fangs to show up, because her face and features are so small, and I'm having trouble with her one leg...."lol"! I haven't drawn anything in quite awhile....so this is a "practice" draw....I'm trying to get back in the mood to draw again. I've just been too tired and worn out to do much of anything lately, and my eyes are blurry....but I hope I can do a little more to this pic. Vampires are always a cool subject to draw...."lol"!! I used a ref pic....Any suggestions and/or criticisms would be much appreciated....:) Well.....I can't get back in the mood to work on this one anymore, so I'm posting it as finished.....I can always go back and work on it more later.

You are so good drawing the female form. I think you are right that she is to small for fangs to show up very well but this still a very beautiful draw

firecracker (Jul 15, 2010)
Thank you all very much for your nice comments.....I'm glad you guys like my vampire. I'm still not completely satisfied with it.....I could add more to it....but I'm just tired of working on this pic....it can stay this way till I get back in the mood to work on it more...."lol"!! Thanks again for your comments.....I do appreciate it....:)

Well.....I'm totally fed up with working on this draw.....I spent wayyyy too much time on this.....just messing around with the floor tiles, trying to get them looking ok. Thank you "MissDj" for pointing out that the floor tiles didn't look right with the texture lines going thru them....I tried fixing that, and I agree with you.....it looks better without the textures. I still need to do some more work on this draw, but I'm posting this as "finished", because I'm sick of working on it...."LOL"!! I may "tinker" around with it some more later on. I used a "ref" pic, and I thought this would be a "fun" draw to do.....well I was wrong....it was a "nightmare" to do!!! I hope I never do a "checkerboard" floor again....."LOL"!!! :)

Hi "Miss Dj".....thanks very much for commenting....I appreciate it. I tried to fix that "thingy" that holds her shawl together....I think it looks a little better now, and I did remove all the texture lines that were in the floor tiles.....that took me a long time to get the floor looking right, but I definitely agree with you.....the floor looks much better without all those texture lines.....I thank you for pointing that out. I appreciate any and all suggestions and/or criticisms.....that's the only way to learn how to do better.....thanks again for commenting! :) Hi "foxbrownie".....you must be a newbie here.....it's nice to see you, and thanks very much for commenting......:)

This is awesome! So lovely and stylish! Great details! WOW!!!!!!!
firecracker (edited Jul 10, 2010)
Hi "pawillie" and "madscientist.....thank you both very much for your nice comments....I appreciate it. I'm glad you like the pic....I think I spent too much time on it, and most of it was just wasting time trying to get that checkerboard floor looking right.... I never want to see checkerboards again!! "LOL"! I like the pic, but I'm still not satisfied with a couple of things, but I'm too tired of working on this draw to do anything more......maybe later I might work on it more, I dunno. Anyways.....thanks again for commenting....I appreciate it!! :)

One of my favorite big cats is the black panther.....so I saw this ref pic, and I thought I'd give it a try. Well.....I'm posting this as finished for now.......there's still some stuff that I want to work on.....but I think I fixed up the "out of focus" look to his face and eye area, and I added some whiskers...."lol". I'm still not satisfied with his tongue.....I'll deal with that later. I thank you guys for your comments and cc's......I hope he looks a little better. I really luv black panthers......:)

The tiger is the symbol of darkness and the new moon. When a "tiger totem" enters your life, expect new adventures.....it will awaken new passion and power. "Tiger people" do their best work at night. They are very sensual and passion people and dedicated parents. Your best work will be done at night. Tigers are associated with water, and have all the properties of the element of water......healing, power thru gentle flow, feminine energies...."lol" . I found this interesting bit of information about tigers online....so I thought I'd pass it on to you all out there.....:) I'm not quite finished with this pic yet.....I want to "mess around" with it some more.....but I'm afraid if I mess around too much ....I'll end up "messin' everything up...."LOL"!! I'm very good at messing things up....haha. Anyways.....this tiger is far from perfect.....but I thought it might be fun to try drawing it.....I used a "ref" pic... I'm posting this as finished......but I'm gonna work on it more later.....I tried doing a couple of things to it, but it didn't look right, so I'm done with it for now......I need room in my "unfinished" draws gallery anyhow.....:)

Thanks enirroc.......I still plan on doing more to it......I just don't feel like working on it anymore at this time. It still doesn't look "complete" to me.....so I'll have to fix it later. I'm trying to get my "unfinished draws" gallery cleaned up....
enirroc (Mar 21, 2010)
Well I'm sure it will be fantastic when it is done, I'm looking forard to it. =)
CookieMonster (Apr 4, 2010)
Wow.
Just wow.
Great job firecracker ;D
firecracker (Apr 4, 2010)

I'm not finished with it yet.....I hope I can get it looking the way I want it......a very frustrating draw.....nothing seems to be working right, but I wanted to do this for my daughter......:) Well....I'm posting this as "finished".....I tried to do more to it.....but I was just "messin' it up, so I'm not gonna do any more to it....:)

"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want......He maketh me to lie down in green pastures....He leadeth me beside still waters....He restoreth my soul. He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His namesake.......Yea...though I walk thru the valley of the shadow of death...I will fear no evil....for Thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me....Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies.....Thou anointest my head with oil.....my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.....and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.......Amen". This is my very favorite psalm......so I thought it would fit in with this pic. I like it better than the psalm that the ref pic had written. Anyways......I'm not finished with this draw.....I'm having problems getting the tools to work right. I don't know what is wrong....but the colors are not working like they should.....the colors look faded out to me....I don't know how to fix it, but I'm trying to draw anyway. Well....I took Elly's advice and used the dodge tool to lighten it just a little....and I like how it looks, so I'm posting this as "finished". Thank you all very much for your comments....I appreciate it.....:)

Thank you "all" very much for all of your nice comments....I really do appreciate it......I'm glad you all like the scripture and the pic......the 23rd psalm has always been my favorite psalm. I'm gonna try to work on it some more.....I'm havin' problems with the tools.....things just aren't working the way they should. Elly.....I'll try using the dodge tool to brighten it up a bit.....but the ref pic is pretty dark......but I'll try it and see if it looks better....thanks. I did try the dodge tool, and it does look better I think....it brightens it up just enough to make it look better......I'm satisfied with it now, so I'm finally finished with this draw.....:)
elly (Mar 19, 2010)
MUCH better! even tho it was just a very small brightening, it gave it just the right amount of 'pow'!! Glad it worked out!! And don't feel you have to follow your ref pic's to the 'T'....I never do! That's the artistic part of being an artist! LOL!
TumblingUpwards (Mar 19, 2010)
I like the depth in this, the glow is beautiful.
firecracker (edited Mar 19, 2010)
Thanks "elly"......I'm glad I took your advice......it does look better with just a "touch" of the dodge tool....."lol"! Hi "Tumblin'up"......thank you very much for your nice comment.....I'm glad you like the pic....:)

Another Batman draw.....I saw the ref pic of Batman hangin' from a tree, and I just wanted to see if I could draw it. I'm posting this as finished....I did a little more to it, and now I'm satisfied with the way it turned out, so I'm just gonna let "Batman" rest in peace.....I'm finished with this pic....."lol"!! :)

Thanks everyone for all of your nice comments.....I'm glad you guys like the pic. I didn't want to see batman die either....but I guess he just gave up on trying to save the world from "destructive forces".....there are just too many villains out there.....they keep multiplying like roaches..."lol". That city in the background is "Gotham City". Batman's sidekick "Robin", and the "batmobile" are somewhere in "Gotham City"......no one knows where Batman disappeared to......... Well.....I think I'm finally done messin' with this draw.....if I do any more to it....I'll just mess things up, so I'm gonna leave it alone, and go start a different draw......maybe I'll do another batman draw later on, and bring my fave superhero back to life...."lol! Thanks again for all your comments.....I really appreciate it.....:)
