Ready for paint

Very nice Ivy! I like how the fence is used for the dissapearing lines

Thanks man. My sister did the out line. Im doing the paint.

I really like it, you guys are good.

Thanks man. I will post as soon as its done.

Definite talent in that duo.

Idk if this is art or just engineering, lol.
I rebuilt a lego MR-2 that I have in Solidworks. It's taken me about 2 weeks to complete, but I finished it today.

That's a tiny MR2. Moar legos!

I've been making an F1 car in Inventor I might post a pic of it in progress.

There's like 80 pieces on that thing, and I had to make each piece... NO MOAR LEGOS

Art project from last year I found when I visited home today!

I plastered both of my hands and then painted on them with watercolor. My inspiration was the boss from the "Tower of the Gods" in LOZ the Windwaker

Guys, I scored a position at an independent game project as a designer so I'll throw some prototypes up.

Reviving an old thread to show off my new toy.



It is a Wacom Cintiq 13HD pen display, didnt opt in for the multi-touch version; as it is just too expensive.

I have also been drawing again recently, though only MLP Characters for the moment. Decided to start off with something simple to get warmed up with.









And I also drew this, as I need to know if I could still draw something realistic.

Re-bumping old thread because I still have a little drawing ability.  Just a side profile sketch of a character's head.



Idiot hair for days.

Thats not too bad, you got any more?

Well, there's this:



He's a character for a GT6 fanfiction.
I'm not a very good artist, lol.

Thats really not bad, but I get where you are coming from. I think my own drawings are trash, same as most people who draw. The other half is an amateur photographer, and he things his photos are bad (which there not). Curse of anyone who is creative.

Well, I know I have potential. Yet I screw up a lot on my drawings,

Even professional artists do that, but they have tricks that help them do that less and less. Such as doing thumbnail concept drawings. Think of it like a concept story board for a film, but using little boxes on one sheet of paper to draw your concepts on. This means you only waste one square on a single sheet of paper, as apposed to wasting a whole bunch of paper.

Plus, getting better at drawing is only the same as everything else. Repartition and practice.

You're right. I'm gonna try again today.

I should also add that if you try the 'thumbnail' method I just brought up, dont go into a massive amount of detail with them. That is not what they are for. They are quick drawings to help you quickly pen out a concept, then you pick a couple you like and add a tiny bit more detail to them. Then pick with you like best, only then moving onto the full picture with full detail.

And use reference. If you are drawing an animal, even a cartoon one, use pictures of the real thing for reference. Same with people, places, buildings, even the sky. It all helps.

The only issue I have is the character head shot I posted above is a completely fictional species I've created. I have to come up with my own reference/assets to work off of.

It has the features of an anthro K9 based character, so you want to be looking at wolves, dogs, foxes. These will all give you real world reference to work on, and will allow you to better represent your character design.

Now that I look at it, you're right. Thanks for the heads up.
