More commonly known as the locust... I like the way they sound. Sorry, Pops, no can do with the .44... would be way overkill for that one... unless it's from one of those science fiction movies where it's like 5 times the size of a large building, then I can shoot it for you. My favorite part of this one is the bark and the shadows.

N00bish thing to do but, I need advice on how you people who can do line art, do line art.
I find it just so hard to do.

I think he's asking about the form more than the technical aspect of smooth lineart...
I would say for starters your blue-base figure drawing is completely the wrong way to go about doing it. Although I'm no anatomy expert myself, I can tell off the bat there that how you did the arms and how the head connects to the neck on the blue sketch doesn't look right. I would suggest, in addition to looking at animations on this site, looking at books/websites on the subject, to work with more of a stick figure style drawing with circles/ellipses (handdrawn, that is) to build form. Think about how everything connects to eachother, and what relative lengths should be, and that will get you off on a better start.
Once you have a good base form, getting a good flowing lineart that you're satisfied with simply takes practice. I highly recommend practicing on paper, though, since you can whip out 30 or 40 different designs until you like something without all the "overhead" of drawing online.

I can do better with lieart on Oekaki Shi-Painter. Seems to be easier for me.... but thats just me and I'm not a lineart specialist LOL
So... I'll be taking Marcello's advice as well =-)

Now that i have enough money... which tablet?

HunterKiller_ (edited Apr 25, 2005)

Obviously the choice is down to the Wacom Intuos and Graphire series. Help please! Even though i bought a really good (not to mention expensive) optical mouse earlier, it just doesn't feel natural drawing with a mouse >=( So i'm going for the tablet. Apparantly the Graphire3 i think it was has some software issues, so if you are currently using a one of these Wacom tablets, please let me know of any problems you have encountered. EDIT: Well, i just did some homework and found out that the G...

A technical/stylistic exercise rather than creative, for once.

The applet messed up. I went to edit it and it's fooked. I really wish it hadn't. It had potential. :(

Did you know there are 11 dimesions and our universe is on a membrane of a larger universe and rips in space and time are possible. (thank you string theory and Discovery Channel)

Gigandas (edited Apr 25, 2005)

Wow, there's actually somebody who agrees with me thinking it's best to avoid religious debate since you very very very very veeeeeeeeery rarely are able to convert someone over to your beliefs. Looking at all its risks and then at its possibilities to get someone to convert to your side, it's really pointless.

marcello (Apr 25, 2005)

the truth is I'm badass. everything else is secondary.
