Rain is kind of hard to draw. I wanted to use line to convey the sense of action. Hopefully it's not too messy.

I think you got the impression of it there

Suntan (edited Mar 26, 2011)

I get a sense of motion, too.

I've been meaning to draw more, but whenever I get busy with work it's hard to get back on the drawing boat.

It's been raining so much lately and the lake is flooding. More rain is coming but there's sandbags in a lot of places so I guess it's okay.

I don't normally want to deal with patterns on clothing, but I think the extra detail improves the image.

The original photo is on my computer. I might figure out a link later.

yeah, pattern makes it that much more interesting, it's very good

Just a quick sketch. I don't normally use a brush larger than 1 pixel for general drawing because I feel like the color is applied faster and more boldly than I prefer, but I thought I'd try a more bold sketch with only a little erasing.

I like your drawings

tanuki (Mar 13, 2011)

Thanks. I think I've drawn more in the past several months since around november than I have in all of the several years before this, so I think I might be getting a little better now.

apparently there were these guys called Lehnert & Landrock that took a lot of photos of people in north africa in the early 1900s, so I might do a few of these.

So I was thinking that I might do something like draw one face a day. I have a lot of portraits bookmarked that I just never got around to drawing.

But the work will be worth it!

Suntan (Mar 12, 2011)

i have to say, these are very inspiring, again. i should try harder.

tanuki (Mar 12, 2011)

even as you say that, I think I'm trying less hard today. Maybe tomorrow~

This one is for a contest. It's looking about as crowded as I was hoping it'd be.

cute :)

Kanuto (Jan 27, 2011)

Pretty interesting so far. The demon girl on the left looks promising :)

If you came up with all this on your own you're more creative than I'll ever be.

tanuki (Jan 27, 2011)

no, they're all monsters from japanese folklore. Well, the giraffe is a kirin, which is described as a "chinese giraffe" because the origins of that mythical monster were chinese artists that heard descriptions of giraffes and tried drawing them without ever seeing one, but I decided to just draw a giraffe.

Crow with a bowl of udon.

This is my 3rd attempt at this scene. This is also my first time doing both dithering and anti-aliasing by hand. I'm still trying to get the hang of pixel art. The time is way off on the first version because sometimes I forget that I'm drawing and instead I go cook something.

The third to the last revision has the full color palette I used, 26 colors on 15 layers. Somehow I managed to hit 6 hours exactly, but then I remembered the shadow for the crow.

cripes those must have taken years done as you described! damn

Suntan (Jan 25, 2011)

again, awesome work, and thanks for sharing. :)

shults (Jan 29, 2011)

Is it any fun?

tanuki (edited Jan 29, 2011)

Kind of, slightly, but not using shi painter. It's pretty hard to stay motivated doing so much for so little result. It'd be a little easier in photoshop because of better layer controls, such as lock transparency. I doubt I'll do any more here after I finish the current one. Lascaux doesn't work in such a way for pixel art to even be possible with it.
