I like when someone can create a drawing that is more relaxed and paintery styled, photo realism is stiff and not always considered art but thievery. I wish I could draw or paint like this, maybe in time or as I practice, we'll see. This is really beautiful, keep up with 'your' style!
vlad.the.hamster (Feb 9, 2010)
I love the more painterly styles, too, just that photorealism is easier. :p
But I'm loving all your stuff so far. They're awesome.
mursku (edited Feb 9, 2010)
i wouldn't say photo realism is easier, its just that to paint in a photo realistic style you need to use photo reference more often. When drawing from a photo reference, the guy who paints in a simplified style needs to think how the forms look in real life. On the other hand the guy who paints photo realistic stuff, doesn't need to understand how things look in real life. He just needs to be able to copy what he sees. But a skilled artist that has a bit more simplified style will be able to be much faster than the photo realistic artist.

Also the thing about photo realistic artists doing stiff art, isn't exactly true. It's just that i think the artist that has a better understanding of how the forms he is painting would look like in 3D, will be able to push his characters in a more dynamic poses, than the artist who only knows how things look from a limited number of angles.

Well, it's just that I know more people that can copy a photo exactly and can't draw/paint anything without one, but I get what you're saying.

thanks, it was amazing to actually see it because it was so huge. I hope you don't mind the primative look. It was so cold that year that there were icesickles on the inside of the windows. I'm not full of energy either. I have worked since 1961 and now am disabled. I miss the money but not the work

great picture,cause it seems so offhand,like it was easily,casually thrown together,but actually has great skill,and I love that style;purple,to me,I have thousands of colors in my monitor spectrum(put in at the factory,for art)but purple is a passionate color,and this little heart tells me,"is this a valentine for someone?"whatever it is,it's cool.

I think the rest of it is beautiful, i was just saying that the hut could look a little better.
Suntan (Feb 9, 2010)
I'm just saying that I'm very happy you joined here. :)
backmagicwoman (Feb 9, 2010)
Yes..always happy to have new members...very nice picture indeed..:)
mursku (edited Feb 9, 2010)
thanks guys for the comments :D
Suntan - heh, its just luck that i joined here :D i was fed up with OekakiCentral and wanted to try some other oekaki site. i found this other oekaki site where i sent my registration application, but while waiting for my confirmation email, i found this site and i didn't need to wait for any administrator to begin drawing oekakis :D and also this site looks to be more active than the other one, so, yay!
Bobstained - ah you meant that. heh, the hut does look does look a bit rubbish, doesn't it, but then to my eye so does the horizon line too. I meant to just do a quick 20-30 minute landscape study, and then i ended so frustrated with getting the sea to look even halfway decent.. and as for the hut, thats my second try to draw the hut and it still looks like that... for my excuse i can say that i didn't understand the form of the hut from looking at the reference picture... it just looked to me like a haphazard bunch of sticks, so thats how it pretty much ended...
and besides guys, i made this in the beginner section, im sure this will be lost quickly enough in the flood of other posts that are made in this section. When i post in the intermediate or advanced boards i will take more time to draw.

everybody else, sorry for not replying, but im really slow at writing stuff and i really need to go back to drawing (or should i say painting?) this nude in the advanced board. It will be awesome! :D

did you use a reference photo for this or was this from your window? cause if you did use a photo, it would be easier to give constructive comments to you if we could see it... but im gonna try anyway. just keep in mind that im not that good at drawing environments myself, so take anything i say with a grain of salt, so to speak :P
Here i go... What i would like to see is some more depth separating the objects. Especially the upper part of the trees from the background. Now they look pretty flat, but if you maybe darkened the street at the upper area of the image the trees would pop out a bit more. Or you could use a sharper brush to paint the leafs around the upper edges of the trees. Or you could instead add some more details at the street at the upper part of the image.
Also i think the street would look a bit more like it was raining if you added some small bright dots here and there on the street, but don't over do it, just a few bright spots.

dramatic. :) I agree with flubbles in that it definitely would have more impact on a bigger canvas, but it's still wonderful work.
firecracker (Feb 8, 2010)
very nice.....those clouds are awesome! :)
mursku (Feb 8, 2010)
thanks guys. i was just aiming to do quick 20-30 min landscape studies, so if i had had managed to draw this in under 30 minutes it wouldn't have been allowed on the other boards

great job on the stormy moody clouds
