I believe I'm in quite the same boat as you, my friend. As a child I always wanted to be an artist. I was going to college for Studio Art but I dropped out. I used to love to draw, but have just slowly lost interest in it. I have a lot of confidence issues.Maet post=18.72805.773601 said:
Anyway, very nice stuff, folks. Here's my old-ass elfwood stuff:

For the record, I hate you all. Seriously.
Right, now for my artsy thing.
When in doubt, put boobies on everything.
Also, they all have willys because I deemed it so. This is artistic expression, man!
God bless MS Paint.
Seriously, though, I don't have a scanner, and the stuff I draw looks like the ham-handed attempts of a drunk toddler. I'll take a picture of my best work and see if it comes out okay tomorrow. Be warned, the only thing I can slightly draw is pseudo-anime eyes. Everything else is an insult to art.

Alright so how do I post pictures of my own? I know how to do the spoiler thing yet I still have a picture I'd like to post.

I drew this a year or so ago, as a joke, it's pretty bad but the only drawing I have on my computer. His name is STuMPY, a bug inside joke with my friends I guess and my former name for games online.
...He-he's trying to tie a knot in some fishing line.
Yeah I'm going to hell.
And I have bad handwriting.

I didn't draw this, but I drew something like it for art class once.

Also, I have doodled countless stick battles, but who hasn't? I should find some and scan them.
EDIT: PurpleRain, I am good at stick people too, like their expressions, movement and all that (well, portraying movement, getting the engles of the joints and everthing)...well at least I like to think so.
EDIT AGAIN: And Dinosaurs, I am good at those too.

See what I mean about the jaw? I misjudged it and the crest got cut off too.
Yeah, I'm a nerd, and damn proud.

Okay. Here goes...
This was actualy done last night. Everything is a fluke, I had been trying to draw it another way, made too many mistakes and then edited said mistakes until I decided this was the best it would get.
Yes, he's male.
The hair was a ***** to draw. It took me two hours. Every good aspect of it was an accident.
The eyes took seconds, because I have a technique I learned off "teh internetz". You may have noticed they don't resemble each other in any way. 'Tis my biggest curse, my drawing isn't even slightly symmetric.
The reason his left(your right) shoulder is so small is because he was supposed to be slightly turned.
EDIT: Would one of you artistic twat-donkeys be willing to teach me how to do shadowing?
Again, I hate you all.

Wow. Thankyou. I know this thread is mostly constructed out of egoism, but I still didn't expect that.Qayin post=18.72805.774315 said:
Yes, it's a series. The other ones don't have quite the same... explicit content though. They're also too large to easily scan in though I've been meaning to do so for a while. And you should write some more. I'm always interested in other peoples work.
Necroswanson, that is a funky companion box you have there. I like it. Allie too. And Elffymon has awesome dragons. Awesome I say!
Why don't you post a bigger version of your avatar...this arms have always perplexed me. Are those his arms or something else? Because they're really skinny.
That bird thing is pretty sweet.TheNecroswanson post=18.72805.779078 said:120x120, big as it gets. The arms are skinny as I based the image on the case booklet from American McGee's Alice, which had her spending severeal years in the asylum refusing to eat. IE: mental trauma induced anorexia(sp?). That and spenidng most of her time there being strapped to a bed, her muscle and body fat content were low, thus, skinny arms. They were thinner then I wanted them, but with my tablet and program, they were either going to be too skinny, or overly thick and misshapen. Took me 6 hours to make.
I've been told my poetry is quiet good, but I'm too lazy to write any right now, and I can't draw worth shit
You're in the same boat as me. We should form a club. Like a Triumvirate...Ares Tyr post=18.72805.779281 said:
Oh wait...
Thanks for putting me back in my place there.Ares Tyr post=18.72805.779281 said:
So I'll re-post my opinions. The turtle is fantastic, like most of your drawings it displays a strong anatomical awareness. Your tone could use some work, but as it's an anime style I can see why you'd focus more on shape and line. The first image...a zombie or something? Anyway, the tension between the brows is good use of detail, bringing more energy to the overall work.
Me too, but I didn't expect much, Stumpy is dumb, I didn't draw the other (I couldn't find it but it was close to that), and the third one I quickly drew in front of the computer in a couple minutes...and the damn jaws didn't line up. It's bugging the crap out of me.NewClassic post=18.72805.779453 said:
Tess to the critique podium!RAKtheUndead post=18.72805.779705 said:
I'd disagree with the 'offence' statement. You seem to have quite a good grasp of structure and engineering, so I'd definitely encourage you to do more technical drawing. Practice makes perfect and all that.
Fair to say figurative is far from your strongest area, but something tells me that's also a point of lack of practice. Remember: Paper recycles, so sketch all you want. Keep up the general theme and the Government will try to hire you for the sake of weapons manufacture and design, which could get interesting. Run away?
Oh, by the way, I am really jealous Labyrinth, I wish I could draw people. I tried drawing George W. Bush, he ended up looking like his dad. I mean, exactly like him...hmm, maybe I should have tried drawing Bush Sr.
