I "draw" pictures of "you", Part III - Page 13

DELICIOUS POISON · 03-16-2008, 04:57 AM

Cool! I'd say you've definitely improved, bud. You just don't see it. Little bits of things like improved poses and tighter lines in your sketches are showing through, even if you're not really noticing. One of the few things that demand your attention now in characters is just little details. Putting that extra time in, you know. Also, you'll have to breakdown and start doing detail in backgrounds eventually. A little experimentation never hurt. I know, I should learn to take my own advice and do more backgrounds >_>

You know, come to think of it, backgrounds are a lot easier to do if you know where to take shortcuts. Take that panfan pic, for instance - I only drew about 1/6th of the stacked pans in the background, and then duplicated the layer and used it as a stamp.

I hope I'm not sounding condescending, because I'm honestly still very impressed with how far your abilities have come from the first pics you posted on viggif.

Aw, thanks AI. I welcome any constructive comments from art guys like yourself, and I also welcome constructive comments from other peoples too (regardless of how much art skill they say they have).

I'll also have to break down and learn to draw guys too. My friends are starting to become weirded out since I draw girls or otherwise girly men. =/

Time to bring out the big, burly manfolk, hmm?

Good luck!

Hi guys. Just cross-linking my Saria sketches. Clicky.

I'll give you three guesses to who this is supposed to "be":

The paper hat was a give away.

That is truly the most amazing portrait ever. The fabric softener makes it.

I'll second Dylan's post.

I really wish Jay would actually participate more like he used to, his sense of humor was pretty awesome.

Here's a "picture" of Parakarry, having no idea who he is or what he actually looks like:

My only insights were from Paper Mario, so I added some goggles and a messenger bag. Everything else? All me.

Tales of CuccoLady · 03-30-2008, 03:21 PM

Parakarry has wings. and a beak.

DELICIOUS POISON · 03-30-2008, 03:26 PM

I don't remember him ever mentioning these appendages.
