Pigwigeon?

Jenni_jelly_beanz (Mar 12, 2003)

I'm not sure if it's spelt right, but it's just a little doodle of Pig from the goblet of fire! (Harry Potter) ^^

When you watch the animation on this, the part where I paused is where two Huge fighter planes just flew over my house! *shudders*

Ohhhhhh! Ahhhhhh!

I think it's spelled "Pigwidgeon", but I'm not entirely sure. This is cool! V. cute!

marcello (edited Mar 12, 2003)

Animation won't actually record pauses, it doesn't care. (That'd make animations much more boring and less impressive ;) )

Congrats on the tablet. Sucks about not having time, I don't have much myself. Hopefully I'll have some time over spring break though...

ChinkyFlip (edited Mar 12, 2003)

Pretty. I always love how soft your work is. It's like you take extra care with the blur tool to soften all your work up, making sure that it looks very.. peaceful, angelic. Good job.

My suggestion for a picture that you'd be perfect at drawing..
A girl in a white dress, with gold hair (don't outline it too thick like you've done here--maybe one or two pixels is fine). And give her a halo. Could be an angel in the sky. It would be a great 'soft' picture. You're very talented, after all.

This piture is so kool!...but how come u ppl don't have time to draw?..i thought it was march break!

coffeejelly (edited Mar 12, 2003)

X'(
^v^ : no holidays for me... if i want a break, i have to apply for permission and it may not be approved X'D
thanks chinkyflip... i have a mental picture of what you're trying to describe :D, will try it out when i have time :D
marcello: the new tablet doesn't like lascaux sketch, haha, the pressure sensitivity thingy still doesn't work (;_;) but it won't stop me from drawing :>

Um, yeah, guess it's finished now.

Kazukie (edited Mar 12, 2003)

You must use a lot of hair gel, your hair stays the same way when you're upside down? Cool.. I wish my hair did that.

ChinkyFlip (edited Mar 12, 2003)

Kazukie.. o_o Since when did 'you' turn into the ice queen? You used to be nice. Wonder what happened..

That's amazing! I wanna see some animations on this cool style.

UppityCracker (edited Mar 11, 2003)

I have to admit, i really like the way you draw... So simplistic (shading, line usage etc..) but its so effective and makes it so much fun to look at how you drew it..

ChinkyFlip (edited Mar 12, 2003)

I always love the way you draw, Snooze. I can see a cat sitting on the ledge with its tail curling out slightly. =) Very good job. Is this interpretive?

Kazukie (edited Mar 12, 2003)

I see the cat on the ledge.. =] I love how you use solid lines and such gothic like colors. And all your work still turns out so realistic.

UppityCracker (Mar 8, 2003)

Crazy crazy monkeys, always sitting.. and looking..

cool it guys, leave it at doodledraw.

Terra_Stryker (edited Mar 9, 2003)

bod1ggity, shut up. If you could draw HALF this goog, u'd still be crap. Your work is crap, and until u can do better, dont put others down.

Knockoff (edited Mar 9, 2003)

This is so cool. It looks so real. I agree, bob1ggity is get anoying *shakes head*

Oh. wow. I just figured out that I could have done it 200 times easier if I used layers.

marcello (edited Mar 9, 2003)

On paintbbs, masks are better than layers for coloring, because it works on a single layer.

ChinkyFlip (edited Mar 10, 2003)

I like how you did that. =)

Knockoff (edited Mar 10, 2003)

Yea This is cool.

Fast knot demo.

WerefoxLeBlanc (Mar 7, 2003)

Ok, so I'll spill the beans on how to do these.

1) Make a grid. I just replicate boxes for this, use shift to make them square... though they dont' have to be. For some reson, the animation doesn't show the grid i made properly. If there's a grid lock, someone tell me where it is and save my fingers.
2) Make really thick lines to lay down a path for your knot. This is where experience and familiarity with knots helps. Turn down the line width by two points, or four or even six if you want weightier lines, and trace over what you just laid down again, as I did in red. Or white, or blue or whatever. Pick a lighter color than the first one whatever you choose.
3) Go over the whole thing again, this time with the line tool at 1 px (2 if you reduced the inner line by 4 points, 3 if you reduced it by 6, etc...) and fill in the cross over points. Easiest way to do this is to follow one path and alternate between over and under. That is your mantra when you're making these things: Over, under. Over, under. If you get two unders/overs in a row, you screwed up somehow.
4) You're done. You can add cosmetic touches like I did to make it not look so flat, but that's not necessary. Erase the grid and they'll never know better.

Adding corners using curves involves laying two elipses, one with lighter line width, and copying the relevant portion of the curve. I wish there was an arc tool.

This method IS NOT how you do it with paper and pencil. It's similar, but a different process.

This knot has three lines, but there are rules to follow when doing these things to get huge panels with only one line. I know these rules. I'm keeping those.

Doing these takes a perfectionist mentality to make them look nice. If you're cursor placement is off by one pixel, hit the undo. Hell, I see two places i screwed up (both corners) and they irk the hell out of me. Still, this is the practice board.

I told you these things are a lot less impressive when you know how to do them...

Who said it was impressive? ;-)
There is a pseudo arc tool, and that would be bezier, though I dunno if it's any easier than how you're doing it. One suggestion I'd make is to come up with patterns that use only a single loop for the whole image, rather than 3 like you did in this one. Those escher-esque things are really neat.
Also put the grid on a separate layer, so you can delete it when you're done.

Ditto, Ky. @.@

His art doesn't fascniate me. His mind does.

WerefoxLeBlanc (edited Mar 8, 2003)

Marcello, This isn't escher. Escher used tileing images, did "Impossible" architecture, and a lot of really kickass representational drawing. This is celtic knotwork. Check out the Book of Kells if you're interiested.

As for my mind, it's more twisted up than these knots.
