Quert Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) I recently saw 'Dr.Minky's pile O' crap' topic so I thought I might aswell put up some pictures of drawings that I (or my brother, he is better than me... if I can find his) made.Comments and tips are accepted (costructive criticism)I might add more pictures afterwardsP.S.: I took those pictures with my Xperia 10 Mini. My new mobile phone with touch screen and a camera. So the images will appear quite small.Kira (from Death Note)A random drawing (looks weird, and I used flash with all lights turned off to make it possible to see)Team Fortress 2 backgroundFrom my brother (Looks like it's unfinished.)

You could experiment by going over the different lines in different thickness of black liner pen, maybe add some (subtle, not super bright felt tip) colours to it I took GCSE art.. Hated it :c Ill look through it and see if there's anything worth uploading anyway.. Edited January 10, 2012 by Dr.Minky Quote
EmRA Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 The images are very low on resolution so it's hard to see any detailsIt's hard to give any sort of critism on them as well, since they are either very basic or drawn from a reference.If you're looking to improve, you should check out the works of Andrew Loomis: http://alexhays.com/loomis/ Raptor 1 Quote
Quert Posted January 10, 2012 Author Posted January 10, 2012 I took GCSE art.. Uhhh... what does that stand for? Actually, I made my drawings during boring hours of school when the teacher isn't there, or during the break.Thats quite interesting.. You could experiment by going over the different lines in different thickness of black liner pen, maybe add some (subtle, not super bright felt tip) colours to it I suck at colouring, I always end up choosing colours that can't stay togheter and look horrible mixed up. Though, I've just found a random drawing made by my brother, and he used colours.And I mostly use a normal pencil, But your tips are interesting and I will definetly try them.BRB. going in his room to steal the note where he attached the drawing with a sticky tape...EDIT: Here's the weird drawing.

Dr.Minky Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) GCSE is General Certificate of Secondary Education, basically its the stage before A levels (A levels are before university, I dont know what the equivalents are..)Another way to improve (on your people drawn) to get proportions right on the people, its one of the most important things! Try googling or looking on YouTube for some tutorials on drawing comic book characters (Its probably the best to get a general idea of the proportions), and then after youve drawn a few characters you get a better understanding of drawing things to scaleId also recommend just doing some tracing drawings of still images n stuff to get an idea of how stuffs positioned, like faces and shit like that, Edited January 10, 2012 by Dr.Minky Quote

Dr.Minky Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Yeah your brothers artworks really good! Does he just do it as a hobby? Quote

Quert Posted January 11, 2012 Author Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) Yeah your brothers artworks really good! Does he just do it as a hobby?Yes, that's pretty much a random pastimeMore pictures incoming.Random weird drawing ( random curves )Random weird drawing ( random curves 2 )Random weird drawing ( random curves 3 )Compare them: The doctor (Minky ) , I think that's an Assassin Creed character.Made this just todaySeems I made him a little more fat Edited January 11, 2012 by Quert Quote
Dr.Minky Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) ARE YOU SAYING IM FAT? IM NOT FAT! I'm just... Poofy.No one has seen my real face.. I am very mysterious,Anyway, they look good, you should try doing the line thickness on those doodles and see what you can do with them maybe add random twirling bits from itAlso theres a good method to learn how to shade textures well that you should give a go and upload. Print off a picture and split it up into squares (put a 1.5 cm grid on it or something) and then do the same lightly on a piece of paper, then you take it ONE BOX at a time and copy it as much as you can. Its important to do it bit by bit cause otherwise you start to assume the shape of it and the textures go wrong and blah blah,oh oh oh and, if you're copying an image like that, try copying the image upside down, and youll find it actually looks better a lot of the time (specially when doing faces) because your brain kind of, assumes, shapes it knows like the body and the face, so when you turn it upside down your brain doesn't recognize it so you're actually copying whats there and not what you think is there ;vSCIENCE!

EmRA Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) When drawing from reference, it's much like when writing something down from the board at school.Don't just copy the lines, think of what you're doing. Is this part a wrinkle, upper lip, shoelace, vein, etc.Did I already tell you half of them is awfull, no ?Oh well ........why did you even post that it's in no way helpful or nicejust plain meanget out Edited February 5, 2012 by EmRA Drainal 1 Quote

Baron Baconeer Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Did I already tell you half of them is awfull, no ?Oh well ........Constructive criticism, hm? Well, I guess you have to say how things are.Did I mention that the quarian you drew a while back lacked a waist, and that quarian legs don't work that way? But I digress. I personally like your drawings. My only complaint is that you really should use blank paper for drawing. All those lines make the pictures bit disorganized. Quote

All those lines make the pictures bit disorganized.Uhh... Yes, will try to use blank paper.Only a few of those drawings were serious ones though, I guess i'll make them more 'professionally'EDIT:Did I already tell you half of them is awfull, no ?I blame the poor photo quality and size.'cause IMO they look good enough if I directly look at them. (even if not as good as my bro's or EmRA's)I wish I had a scanner I could use freely. Edited February 5, 2012 by Quert Quote
