The sketch thread!

So shall it be written so shal it be done! :D good save because I wasn't even thinking about that. Children are supposed to be all soft and cuddly and whatnot. Lol
 
The highlight on the tongue is a bit too sharp, you should make it fade a bit out.
On another note, you really made the highlight on the cheek work, I love the combination of colors of the face and that blue.

Also, did you mean this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_HXUhShhmY?

Tomas you do the strangest things
I can explain! I have these assignments i give myself and others, to practice.. you can view them at http://www.tomasknipscheer.nl/dod it's in dutch though, but if you translate it i'm sure you'll manage to get the gist.

I should add more, because i have been lacking, due to having too little time on my hands.
 
Thanks, Makasu! I would love to collab or something sometime, and I always love fanart; if you draw me some, I'll put it in the first post of my game thread.

Also, I fixed some of the easier problems with this, but idw mess with it too much since I'm lazy. Thanks for the feedback, guys!

I tried a gradient, but it didn't look good. Still has some problems, but oh well, it was just a sketch and idw fuss over it too much.
 
@Tomas: Oh yeah I know. I haven't smoothed out the colors yet. :p I'm in the process of trying to match colors evenly in fact the picture I'm working from doesn't even have a highlight on the tongue! But I like the highlight the most too now I want to highlight everything haha.

And yes that video! I have no idea why but that fish reminded me of that video. :)

@Peri: maybe ala Shin megami tensei style? And heck yes we should, I shall and it shall be awesome! I would just need some character concepts to go off of lol. And I believe her right shin looks a tad bit broken.
 
You guys are all very good!

I think I'm going to draw soon. ><

@ Peri your character reminds me of a character I have. :X

I think that means I have to change her up again. I made her too universal. :/ I shall show you what I mean.

Also - fan art = fun! :D
 
Strawberry, two character designs being similar doesn't mean that yours is too universal! I promise they're VERY different as far as personality and abilities go. Seriously, you're never going to get something that doesn't resemble something somewhere, so don't make yourself crazy over it.

Makasu, I don't have a lot of character info in my thread, but the thread is here, and it has a bit of art in it. Anneka's sprite in the mockup is outdated, though; she has a skirt now. I can provide you with more information if you want!
 
Hehe, I guess you're right. I've just encountered a lot of characters who remind me of my character: Illenia. XD

On another note, here is my latest doodle - Aelina Rowan the Frostfae Bard. :D

I do. I have to fish it out from somewhere, though.

It's kind of old. XD

She's changed over the course of 10 years. XD

She used to have an outift almost just like your character, with the tie and skirt and everything. ><
 
Oh yeah, I can see how you'd think that's a bit similar, but the whole suit/glasses/short hair thing is pretty common. Doesn't make it bad, just a reflection of life.

really quick sketch from earlier, just felt like drawing some clothes and messing around w/ colors but then i got interrupted so eh

also there was originally a skirt but i decided to change it, which is why her legs are so weirdly apart at the top since i never fixed it

@sorceresskrysty
heya! it's always nice to get more artists in here, so welcome back(ish?)
it's hard to say without seeing the rest of the drawings but the main thing that leaps out at me on the girl is the eyes. the right one is placed properly but the right one is much farther from the nose. as for the guy's anatomy, they look more or less like they have a series of indentions instead of muscles, to me anyway
 
doodle dump III: to dump, or not to dump

more stupid drawings i do when i'm sleep deprived and feeling ridiculous

these are two turtles that happen to be mutant, ninjas and adolescents. they also like to rap because they are hip and cool
mar27_7.jpg


here is a captain guy with a seagull that i'm pretty sure i stole from a webcomic somewhere
mar27_9.jpg


bunch of things. i really hate drawing wildlife and monsters and stuff without a reference but when you're in chemistry class you don't have much to rely on.

more things. the guy on the top right is a short little umbrella salesman dude. i think he needs a name, he seems to be coming up quite often!
mar27_2.jpg


the umbrella salesman likes money i guess
mar27_6.jpg


the duck and the dragon are two cool dudes from a french comic.
mar27_4.jpg


i guess the saleman's name is johnson now? he's not very successful though. and kind of short.
mar27_8.jpg


woah charles has a twin brother!! neat
mar27_10.jpg


drew this when i was falling asleep and on the edge of unconsciousness. can you tell
mar27_5.jpg


i drew tintin and his little dog too. also that captain guy. hrmmm

okay carry on with your awesome portraits and stuff!
 
Devvy, those are cute! I couldn't help noticing the My Little Ponies. Do you watch that show? Because I did recently wondering why the entire Internet is apparently in love with it.

I've watched two episodes and thought it was a great show. For little girls. There's not much sustenance there for adults idk why people are so obsessed over it.

I so you've noticed my...... ironic....... doodles............

yeah it kind of bothers me how so many adult males have a fixation on it, it is a cute show especially compared to other cartoons but it's not AMAZINGLY GENIUSLY WELL-WRITTEN like a lot of them say (i babysit a niece and nephew all the time so i guess i got Opinions about Cartoons or something)

something more on-topic: i absolutely adore your cartoon characters and you know that, and i honestly think you could be KC Green levels if you practiced a little more. you really have an eye for appealing character design and your expressions are getting better and better
 
Strawberry: Freckles! Love them!!! I love the way your style is developing! But remember studying from life is a very very crucial factor in art. So study up!

Dade: how long does it take you to draw a character? You have such a unique sunday paper cartoon style that I would love to study but I'm to much of a make everything nice and straight style. :/

Large image warning. I'm sorry for taking up so much space. :(

usually takes 10 - 30 seconds for a sketch because i have the attention span of a goldfish. if i could swap these speedy little sketches to be able to focus on one piece for several hours at a time i would though! which is what i'm trying to work on. sorta.
