Little Pirate Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 My niece and I were drawing with her crayons a couple weeks back, here's what I ended up making: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Pirate Posted March 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 She's my own creation. I like to draw her in just about anything. She's like a barbie doll, only on a sketchpad. I do have a tablet, but I use free paint programs to draw on. I have an easier time using my mouse on MS paint for some reason. Here's a tablet example: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirandello Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 So, uh, mind asking me how you learned to draw, Pirate? I've tried many (many, many, many, many... many, many, many) times, but I just can't seem to do it. I know practice makes perfect, but when all you keep making is crap, you only get good at making crap. =\ What I try to do (in order): 1. Sketch - I already failed at this part, I can't even draw people right. My experiences with with drawing landscapes and backgrounds is laughable at best. 2. Detail - Even worse, it's only my second-worst compared to... 3. Shading - This literally makes me want to pull my hair out because I can never understand how artists get such perfect lighting details on their works (things like clothing shadows are the ones that really tick me off). Coloring - The Forbidden Zone, since I've never gotten far enough to actually do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Pirate Posted March 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 After playing with it even more, this turned out mega awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 This is all miles better than anything I could ever hope to do. I have an extremely insecure hand for pen motions for some reason. I can just barely make my own name look readable. I used my mouse and MS Paint. I don't have photoshop... Isn't Gimp pretty much Photoshop for poor- I mean people who do not want to spend all their money on some stupid image editing program?

Little Pirate Posted March 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 I use chibi paint. I neeeeeed to have layers when I'm doing colored stuff. It also has the smoothing tool so my lines don't look scraggly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Pirate Posted March 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 I've been drawing since I learned how to grab--I think a lot of it had to do with the fact my mom loved to draw, herself. As far as learning goes, most of the techniques I learned were the things they taught me in art class in my school years, and everything else is trial and errors. It does help to look up tutorials online for specifics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enervation Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 I was only able to take a single year of art class when I was in high school. Due to that, I have very limited artistic capabilities. If you look at any of my horribly failed sketches, you can see that all my body proportions are way off the board. Can never seem to get rid of that... I'm not even sure how you people draw.

Little Pirate Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) My friend who has two kids asked me to help her design an alphabet scenery for her kid's room. So far I have A for Apple, B for Bee, C for Cat, D for Dog, E for Elephant, G for Giraffe, H for horse...

Little Pirate Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I AND J ARE FOR INDIANA JONES. These kids officially have a kickass alphabet wall tiling so far. Once the whole thing is done she may have one of her friends who have kids pay me to do one for them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewblaha Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I can only draw triangles that come into shape. I drew a bitchin' knight once out of triangles with the lance and everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomTervo Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) Both my parents are artists (not by profession, save my Dad being a photographer): my Dad is a sculptor, a painter, a photographer, a sketcher; my Mum is a painter, photographer, sculptor, knitter, embroiderer. And me? I struggle to draw a believable square. However I make up for that with being good at writing literature and writing/playing music. Thank fuck. (I'm actually pretty good at photography, too, but just as a passing interest.) Edited March 18, 2011 by kenshi_ryden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirandello Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I struggle to draw a believable square. Heh, for me, I struggle with the basics of art. I can draw squares real nice, though. And cubes. Cubes, too. I'm a god at drawing cubes. Too bad those are just about the only things I draw well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

「Advent Chaos」 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Last ok thing I drew about 1-2 years ago. Personally, I hate everything I create. i always end up looking at every single big/little flaw without stopping, although I hear that's a bit of a common trend among other artists, no?
