Were you a member of any oekakis ( or other art boards) before 2draw? Just curious. :P It was linked in a teen titans oekaki I was currently a member of. I was sick of drawing teen titans, so I came here.

(>,<) Do NOT nag me about yaoi! If you don't like it do NOT comment AT ALL! Please!.....Hhm..for some reason Suzaku looks a little wierd in this....(>3<) Slobbery kiss, mwa! (and, no, it's not suzaku from fishigi yugi, it's suzaku from inuyasha)
xiang (Apr 6, 2006)
<3 Awesome job yet again, Torchic! :DHmm, I agree, "suzie" does look wierd... Maybe it's the nose?
101_Torchic_101 (Apr 6, 2006)
..Or maybe I made his head too big?......Wait....His neck's a little skinny...(0_0) No, I think it's the head..
BlitzCloud (Apr 6, 2006)
like marcello said before, stfu about yaoi already. In your last yaoi picture nobody commented anything bad... But you're kinda looking for it right?
NOVEMBER93 (Apr 7, 2006)
Like Inuyasah would be caught dead near that guy....unless of course he was trying to kill him...and...i was soooo happy when miroku came and took suzaku into his wind-tunnel...yes, suzaku does look quite strange. |

– latest 4:This is my first Intermediate entry, and I promise I'll finish this as soon as I figure out what's wrong with my tablet. :( I wanna be an Intermediate Skill artist fo' life... but I'm nervous of what you all will think of this.

Woah >.< That's pretty good lineart for a mouse.
xiang (Apr 5, 2006)
A mouse? Lol <3@xiau: I tried to make him appear intimidating and like a sly serpent. I'll add you tomorrow so you can color it, because I'm typing this from my cell phone ( my mom kicked me off the computer -__-; ), and it won't let me add anyone through it. I felt it needed some shading, so I shaded it!
=__=; looks like something out of an old Japanese fighting game. Xiau is going to color this in for me! <3 >__>;
(shrug) When you try to cell-shade Yoki it comes out rather simple o_o |

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.
Zack (Apr 5, 2006)
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.

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 :):)

One word: wow. It's absolutely amazing. Awesome. I love the lips and.. well just about everything XD
Roxana1890 (Jun 21, 2008)
extremely great likeness.
saidenlalinda (Sep 30, 2010)
the colours used are phenomenal..the lips and eyes..I have tried to pain this woman's face along with others, but hers the most and I have yet to ger all her facial feature correct...so I enjoy looking at this..the only thing I would stay to tune up some..would be the hair , needs a little definition..but that is me of course, you are your own artist and for you this maybe finished. But this is phenomenal! pardon my mispellings.

I like the skin texture you added. I like his wrinkles, too.... people with wrinkles are intresting to draw. It's like, all their life experiences and feelings and whatever are written on their faces.
Sweetcell (Apr 4, 2006)
I think you can be a believer of both, and I am. Being Roman Catholic myself I learned about His creation and evolution, and it's funny it seemed easy for me to blend the two, meld it if you will. I believe He exists and created the Earth and everything around us, but I also believe in the Big Bang and evolution... hmmmm maybe that makes me a bit by-polar. That would explain things.You can have Creation and Evolution, I believe it. Maybe someone just needs to find the middle where both fits. Awesome piece Opium, love that hair. He does look tired.....
gerbear (Apr 5, 2006)
Excellent portrait! Very impressed with it.

Thanks Marcello, patience, sweetcell, and gerbear! :) |

Shanghai (Mar 31, 2006)
yes, I have been awake for the past 29 hours and I still have another 6-7 to go before I can rest, but my site is ready for my gallery show tonight. in the future I'll add more and expand it, but for now it has enough content to satisfy my expectations for this show. Now I need to get ready and go down there to setup things before the show starts. Notice how many of my artworks on there were made in lasqaux~ *mentions*
