The sketch thread!

[action]

@strawberry: looks great! Wow, you've improved. The face looks a bit slim in comparison to the head/hair, though. I can tell you use the grid as cheat-sheet of creating symmetry :P you should try a 3/4 view sometime, I haven't seen you do one of those (which is what most people find easier because they don't have to worry about making both eyes equal)

@noise: They both have cute/recognizable faces. The smaller one reminds me of something from Adventure Time

so i discovered the pencil tool in photoshop

:F

 

[Daxis]

and so i discovered pencil SIZES on photoshop

but i bs'd this one a lot more than the face one

 

[Jason]

So I don't have Photoshop or Illustrator installed on this computer, for the time being I'm stuck with MS Paint to do some drawing in, which isn't really that much of a problem since I use MS Paint for sprites, but for other things I find these programs better...

Anyway, I'm back with more heads, lol...

What do you think?

 

[Venetia]

ha! pretty cute, jB! the angle of the jawline freaks me out though. Dude would have like GIRAFFE neck, considering his jawline/head doesn't START/connect from/with his neck until his ear.

a friend of mine wants a drawring of a character of hers for this big deal thing she's going to. here's my 15-minute whack at it thus far:

its 5:30am and even GHB can't make me sleep. so i drew a thing.
it's supposed to be showing two sides of the same char's personality. she was hyper specific about outfits/hair/expressions/etc.
lets see if i finish it at all.

 

[Mr_Smith]

Wow. That looks amazing, Venetia! I know it probably isn't the best thing you made ever, but I can't even hope to draw something like that.

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

^ Agreed. That looks awesome! I wish I could draw that good! ^^

Ven: stop being good at everything

Jbrist: yeah, that jawline is super funky

Daxis: Make sure to block out your stuff more. Make mages and pages of blockouts. The reason why is because your faces need more curve and definition. There are no straight lines in faces

you are also doing slop sketches OH NO
carry through your lines
dont stop and go into short little bursts

Personally, I learned to first work on line strokes and am now learning form
I mean I guess it varies from person to person but an advantage is that my sketches arent super sketchy and with short bursts

Lastly, try to avoid anime mouth syndrome.
Its when you put the whole mouth on one half of the face~

I tried to draw people today but I cant do it
i might be able to tomorrow~

Instead I did like a concept sketch of a game mockup!!!!

i am working on coloring~

 

[Perihelion]

Ven, I am gonna turn green with envy. I couldn't make something look that good in fifteen hours. I need to sketch more.

Bacon, that is pretty neat, but you're gonna run into foreground/background readability issues if you keep the colors like that.

 

[Black_Vamp]

A W.I.P Im working on I was drawing the picture for my avatar and couldn't choose which colors to use; Im thinking of making an animated avatar with these colors let me know what you all think :]]

I like the first and last one the best. The hair looks really nice, but it seems a bit too complicated, the back kinda reminds me of a hedgehog. The eyes are differently colored for the 1st and 3rd compared to the 2nd and 4th, I like the eye color for the 2nd and 4th drawings. Well anyways, I like the style and coloring. Keep coming to this forum cause I like creeping on peoples artwork on this thread and you'll be a nice addition to my entertainment collection mwahaahahhahaha! But seriously, keep posting here you're really good!

[Black_Vamp]

Thankx man , and yeah I just got back into drawing and Sketching figured it's been long enough time to start a new lol

 

[Perihelion]

Hey, that's pretty sweet, Vamp! My main complaint is that the noise looks way out of place. The hair is also kind of overly separated into spikes, but you can call that style, so it's not a big problem.

 

[Black_Vamp]

No doubt thankx, and yeah your right the noise does look out of place but yeah that is the style I like to draw hair in for some reason I've gotten so many complaints about it lol

 

[Perihelion]

Well, maybe you should try branching out. You won't get better if you don't experiment every now and then.

 

[bacon]

super meh!!!!!!!

 

[Perihelion]

Bacon, you're getting better! That's pretty cool, and I like the energy of it, but you might want to shape the head a bit more.

I doodled.

Long, consistent, straight lines are actually really hard to draw with a small tablet!

 

[Black_Vamp]

Damn that look nice peri you planning on coloring it!? and the lines look nice not bad for a tablet user lol

 

[Perihelion]

I was thinking about maybe pixeling it, but idk, it was kind of whimsical for pixeling.

 

[Jason]

So I'm still using MS Paint since I can't be bothered to redownload Illustrator just yet... I was just trying to draw clothes here and this is my favourite one, so I coloured it in and attempted to shade it, probably looks horrible but meh, I don't really care, lol

(Original image is actually 2x bigger, decided to shrink it down to be nice, lol.
