Double post. Was bored, basically just playing around with different brushes. Nothing fancy.

nice nats :)
you know there are cool brushes already made that can make pretty neat clouds
you can make them yourself with photoshop of course ,right now cant remember the link but there are plenty out there on the web
oo mags-- wow, did you draw that hand as well?
I have oonnnne suggestion for your aah religious puppet + bird thing: try using smaller hard brushes for more definite outlines. I've noticed that you've got a kind of really soft touch with the edges of your work, but in the face of the fiure it's nice and very sharply detailed-- just the rest of the body has a sort of softness to the tiny details... I dunno, maybe just sharpen it up a bit-- but everything's definitely looking good!
Nat, that's an interesting piece-- I really like the clouds and the grass!!!! the grass looks awesome!
Lately I've been playing iwth some caricatures-- actaully I finished up my concentration!!

AAH! big post!!!
Awesome E! I like the one with the smiley teeth Glary? *GRIIIIN*
Very cool, more gremlins though please :D
haha thanks, glad you like the teethy grins XD
Actually... I'm planning a gremlin getaway game..... but if I actaully do get to work on it-- it'll be in the summer (or during finals week lol) or sometime still off a ways in the future... I've already drawn thousands of gremlins, so that''ll either be the possible end of them or I'll find a new obsession. :P
do you do professional caracture work? If you're in high school or college and near an amusement park, you should seriously consider trying to get into that to make some good cash. I have a friend who's a professional artist but manages one of those things at an amusement park and he was making nearly $400-500 per day just drawing kids and families in a humorous way.Quote:

here is another wip you probably remember natsia sketch ? don you??
oh well here i give it another shot , different angle different espression
just tryng to figure anatomy and proportions
http://www.paintek.com/doodles/head2.jpg
haha-- no, actaully I'm about to sell my first piece, so I'm not even quite a professional artist yet XD
But wow-- $400-500 a day??? I didn't ----
correction, I just sold my first piece :D
anyway-- I didn't know that the amusement park artists made so much! I've always gotten the opposite impression for some reason. But great, I'll have to look into that in case work goes slowly :D
damn mags. Im loving how you did the skin.
mini tute me! She looks almost cg.
MiNI TUTE!
thanks nats but I'm not the tut guy ,not really good at it :OQuote:

the most important thing is to get the proportions right then its all the way down :) its also very important the color of the background
since it will reflect on the object giving it a different shadow and highlight color but I'm still a newbie at the coloring thing hopefully I'll get better
now you made me type more then 100 words and that's pretty close to my attention span limit now you know why i cant write tutorials besie of course my lousy English :D
lol. Typing slacker.
So you're basically just building on one solid colour? No layers or are you blending layers from the dakest tone up?
Still, that is damn impressive.
Keep this up and Im sure you'll be snapped up in no time hun, finish her off and i think it will be a damn good porti peice.
been a long time since I posted something here. Actually, this is the first time I draw something in like at least 2 years (damn work, keeps me away from it), but I recently came back to my roots, now that i have a wacom :)
Hope you like this one

I have seen cool pics in here. nj :thumbsup:
This is my first painting since I was 11, and it is my first abstract painting as well. It is oil on canvas.
I don't like it a lot, but ill put it here anyway.
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...a/abstract.jpg
after this painting i swear i'm not making any more abstract ones, it is way too boring (for me).
Damn Argo, awesome pic!
Akrib very good use of colour, impressive... Where are the more recent pics?
haha, I like the colors as well, but I regretted using the leak effect so much.
and wich more recent pics are you talking about?
You said that was done when you were 11?
And how old are you now?
More recent ones.
:D
Well, this is the very first time I look into an FK forum that isn't ActionScript or BackEnd.
I've recently got a Wacom Cintiq 21UX, because my past experience with standard tablets wasn't good. I hate the process of colouring my drawings, but I manage to get some better results on the computer.
These are two examples:
Here I downloaded a Land Rover Range Rover photo, painted the background over the original car, leaving out the wheels. Then drew my sketch and coloured it. Too lazy to clean it up, I left it pretty dirty!
http://lac-2.com/sketch1.jpg
Here I layed some blueprint-like lines in Flash, then exported a hi-res image and gave color in Photoshop. Again, too lazy to finish it off.
http://lac-2.com/sketch2.jpg
Do you know any tutorial I can learn for quick rendering techniques. I have to develop my drawing skills from a designer's point of view: I just need to achieve enough quality to communicate form and finish in a basic way.
I'm no illustrator.
Thanks!
no, i meant that i didnt paint with oils or acrylics since I was 11. And thats what I painted now, that im 18. And it is my first abstract painting.Quote:

nice to see u back. Thats a cool creature/plant
Awwww olly those are tooo cute.
Again I have to say that you colouring isn improving everytime you post something new.
arikb, yayyy colored pencils!I think I already said this once-- but odnt' be afraid to press hard with them and really go dark. you might be a little scared to at first, but they really might surprise you with the results in the end!!
Mag, that he/she/it thing is lookin pretty cool! nice tinting.
ollyk, great to see you again!! yayyy that print things' really cool... I like the coloring a lot, cute style and nice complementary background. is it like a floating squid-plant thing?

Mr. Chompy:

...and a Slugron:
http://tahnee.org/paintings/slugronbig.jpg
awww
I waaant one.
Please make me a stuffed toy version of Mr Chompy!
Im liking your blending style El-t.
Hehe...Mr. Chompy. That's great. :D
chompy chomp chomp!
lol, yeah, you said that already. And I forgot about it -_-
those two creatures are cool. I like the "unblended tones" style. I dunno if you wanted it to be like that, but there are some white edges that look like you didn't paint em.
hehe a stuffed Chompy, that'll be a fun summer project :D
Thanks for the nice compliments, I'm glad the blending style is working out-- cuz it's all I can manage with a real paintbrush :D I probably left some edges blank-- in fact I know I did on Chompy, cuz ... well it's hard to paint around fur. :D
Chompy's a vegetarian, btw. Unless if you feed him a book you don't like or something. But I guess books would still be considered "vegetarian" because they originate from trees, which are plants...? :D
Next I'll make a gremlin, I think. Then I'll go out and get more canvas! :D
well I can give a hint on the "blank" spots side.
And I know I've said this before but: start from the background of your image and work your way to the front.
Really you have no idea how much this helps with blending, perspective.
Also for doing edges: a little paint on a flat brush works wonders, use the edges of the brush and use steady even strokes from the edge out, after that its blending all your seams together.
but I say again: I like the way you layer your paint. love the texture it creates, love the look.
(dunno know if you know this, but when you wash your brushes after use, put a little soap on them and shape them flat again, it keeps them in shape longer and the shape of your brush is like the shape of your pencil.)
