Drawings

[CitizenOfVerona]

Such a catchy title..

Anyways, I picked up drawing over the last week, and I normally post it in the CT, but instead of doing that, I decided to post it here, in a more appropriate spot.

I already posted these:

I'll post as I draw. Anyone can post theirs too!

 

[CitizenOfVerona]

Did these while everyone was watching E3 things

 

[DarkDepths]

Such a smug little guy.

Good job!

 

[thelittlelaughingman]

Cool drawings. ^_^

 

[CitizenOfVerona]

Thanks guys.

I like drawing cartoony characters (if that wasn't obvious enough ). If anyone has a request I'd be happy to try.

I made a request in the CT a few days ago but you ignored me

A panicked looking cartoon alien would be neato.

 

[CitizenOfVerona]

Really? I don't remember that....

I've noticed sometimes for some reason I don't get alerts when people mention me in posts. Not sure whats up with that.

I'll try.

 

[Mr-Chris]

Nice drawings CoV!

Draw Kirby playing a Kirby game. So Meta...........................Knight.

How long did it take you to draw those Cov?

 

[CitizenOfVerona]

Not sure. I start drawing, put on Mega Man soundtracks, then I look up and it's 9 pm.

If I had to guess, 40-60 minutes. I'm pretty picky with it. Link's face alone took me 20 minutes give or take. Sonic was surprisingly quick (ha!).

So yeah, depends on the drawing, but I'm gonna say an hour each on average.

(I'll time myself for the next one. I'll probably draw that alien for DD or something related to E3, possibly those Splatoon characters)

 

[Koenig]

Faces are pure evil. I can draw entire characters but once I start the face I want set my paper aflame.

These look good man. Keep it up! You might try playing around with changing the thickness of the inking lines. Here is a little guide on atmospheric inking (or aerial perspective) that is pretty easy to get. http://www.bigtimeattic.com/blog/2007/03/tips-and-tricks-atmospheric-perspective_27.html

If you notice thickness in lines changing as you draw that is because the artist is usually taking atmospheric perspective in to consideration whether it is to make a character emphasized or change the distance a character appears from the viewer.

 

[CitizenOfVerona]

Thanks! I read over it and I'll try my best to keep it in mind.

Right now though I'm content enough with just character stills, (but I can see the way Sonic is that it would have been helpful). If I ever work my way up to landscapes I'll definitely try this out

 

[CitizenOfVerona]

tried drawing a character from splatoon, and man I'm not liking whats turning out.

I'll finish it tomorrow and post

 

[CitizenOfVerona]

Not overly happy with it, but it turned out alright after:

I did try making the outline on the squid darker to make in closer to the foreground, I think that turned out good. I also like how her hair turned out. Damn those shoes though, damn them

 

[CitizenOfVerona]

This one took 2 hours-ish:

Thought it was a good attempt at making the lines darker as the characters got closer. I think I did a pretty good job with that aspect. Super happy with it, minus the detail in Murdoc's face, and Russell is kinda "meh", but not bad for my 7th drawing

Sorta feels good when I'm not shitting on myself

edit: dat quadruple post

Hey, I'm going to go ahead and put my drawings here too, since the title is broad enough, but you don't want to share I can move them to my own thread later

My first one (took about 3 mins):

Based on this:

And my 2nd one (took about 5 mins):

Based on this:

[Koenig]

Must...resist...urge...To dump drawing here as well.

 

[Koenig]

Because brown recluse were not deadly enough.

 

[Mr-Chris]

The punkiest of steam. Nice stuff Koenig.

 

[CitizenOfVerona]

@DarkDepths

So I drew that alien thing. It's so laugably bad it kinda makes me sad. I mean, it's so shitty, not even a mother could love it.

I'm talking about some rancid shit here

If you really wanna see it I can post it, but phew, disgusting.

And I mean like, Kindergarten kids can draw better.....but that's part of the joke

 

[DarkDepths]

You've almost made it impossible for me not to ask to see it!

 

[the_randomizer]

Something that has been long overdue, like, WAAAAAAAAY overdue. Something about me, is that two summers ago, I thought I'd take up drawing, but for some reason, just stopped (and I hope I can pick it up). Along with foxes, I love dragons, and tried to draw them

Here goes, I know the drawing themselves suck XDD, here goes!

 

[Cyan]

Was drawing with the BF. Made these (No references)

 

[Cyan]

My Original Character Do not Steel, Xen (Named like 8 years ago, so before Xenforo )
He's a super fighting robot.

 

[Mr-Chris]

Good stuff everyone! I wouldn't be able to do much of this stuff.

 

[the_randomizer]

People actually like my drawings?? I'll be damned XDDD I'm flattered, actually I really should start up again.

putting it in a spoiler

I honestly feel a bit bad. You asked me for something and came up with that ^.

Truth is, all my drawings I google an image and draw from it, I don't think I can really draw from the top of my head, so maybe I'm cheating a little.

Oh well. If you want me to try again I will

 

[Koenig]

I already posted this in the Main thread a while back but F'it, This is one of my favorites.

I'm disappointed. It's not as bad as I was led to believe.

If you want the practice, take a second pass. You have a general form, just try to develop the pieces a bit more. You can look for references for individual parts, by the way. Look at cartoon characters and find some eyes that you like, for example, and use them.

Alright, I'll try.

No promises on whether it'll be good or not

 

[Cyan]

I decided I needed my ownm take on the Spookies logo, and it hit me! I'll use my Super Fighting Brobot, Xen! This is the result of like, 4 mins of (not so) hard work!

 

[CitizenOfVerona]

So here's Amy Rose. Always liked her, but than again I never played a game where she had a prominent speaking role. I did enjoy her in the Advance series though, underrated gems imo

Even Sawnic is giving me a thumbs up

 

[CitizenOfVerona]

TIL: I suck at drawing water

This was my first drawing since Amy and Sawnic up there^. Overall, I don't know how I feel about it. Some of the water looks cool, others don't. I was getting tired towards the end, so the colour is upsetting me, but it's okay.

Hmmmm

 

[Koenig]

It reminds me of the Chinese/Japanase scroll paintings.

 

[Cyan]

Reminds me of this:

 

[Koenig]

Some mock concept art I threw together for one of my idea's.

My latest drawing following a few tutorials.

These were the tutorials I used:

[Cyan]

My second one done in a lot less time, sacrificed quality a bit though IMO.

Any tips for drawing spiky hair quickly and easily?

Any tips for drawing spiky hair quickly and easily?

I'm going to say do like Costello Stone LLC and come up with patterns in your head for how you like the spiky hair. Could as simple as alternating between long and short strokes, and then changing it up to your taste from there.

I don't know why I thought of a parallel between masonry and drawing Goku hair, but there you go.

 

[Cyan]

Thanks Jueg.

Also I CG'd this guy a bit.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh I like this line of thinking!

Best drawing yet.

Damn, I must be a genius!
