ThreeStep posted:How's this for skulls? loving excellent, in the future I expect at least this much skull from any skull-pieces. I don't think you overdid it with the shades, I would've actually added a dark grey instead of the black for the stones. It's good to have a variety, it serves well here to separate the layers of background and create a sense of depth. Astonishing Wang posted:We got a new dog and I just love his little face Congrats on your new dog, I also love his little face. Tell him. Tell him a stranger on the internet loves his little face. I've actually found my dog to be one of the most difficult things I've ever tried to draw. I can't quite get it right! Dogs are so expressive, but getting a good reference pic .. well:  This is like 90% of the pics I take of her. bones 4 beginners posted:I went with the random animal generator today and it gave me Xray Tetra. This is great! I love how you captured the translucency of the fish, and the brave soft-focus background. I know I would've ruined it by trying to add definition. lofi posted:Went to draw a WW1 fort today. But it was paywalled, and I'm skint, so I drew what I could of an old gun emplacement You should've kicked up a fuss about your artistic rights to reproduce your cultural history and how it's unethical to only let you view your military heritage sites for something as crass as money. Maybe work in a line about your grandparents proudly serving your country only for you to be demanded 7 pounds for parking in the middle of no-loving-wheresville, Historical Ruinston. At least you showed them by still getting something painted, I love old concrete buildings being reclaimed by nature. Well, ruins of any kind. Slow decay and abandoned places are fascinating and convey a strange sense of loneliness. The freaking n-gage. I love how even a duck looks like a complete moron using it the correct way.

Ugh, I'm really falling behind. I haven't been able to draw anything at all the past few days despite really wanting to. Art block at the worst time. I'm really sorry! Hopefully it'll clear up soon.

Wohey, managed to put something together tonight, as practise for the sketch trade: Androids are cool. Anyway, hopefully this means I'll be able to do draw something for real tomorrow.

I haven't been drawing every day... (and it really shows) Also shows that I don't have a working scanner and an old point and shoot camera.

Sidetalkin'! Couldn't get into drawing this morning, but managed to do a dragon. I saw the new Godzilla movie on Saturday, and I guess I still have giant monsters on the brain. 152.

Good day today. Had an idea I wanted to draw, and it didn't turn out bad either! Horrah! Gonna send out a physical copy of it now. I have some other ideas for android stuff, so I might do some more after I finish Keetron's prompt.

(and it really shows) I like this, you've got a grasp on the skeleton that I'm still trying to get and the photo quality's good; did you do any post-processing? Especially love the figure on the right, everything's got enough detail I can tell what part's what.  Today's WIP; I decided to dust off Photoshop and my Wacom to turn a lunch break sketch into something more finished.

Some traditional doodles with my favourite pen. You should definitely go check your local art supplier if they have a Pentel Touch SES15C and try it out. It's the best feeling pen I've ever held in my hands.

Today I'm feeling conflicted. On one hand, I just got the art trade pieces in the mail, which is making me very happy, and on the other it's a reminder I still haven't finished mine, which is making me rather grumpy. Anyway, that aside, here's Keetron's: Which does look really nice and inviting. Wish I was there instead of at home, boiling in my room. And here's Heavy Liquid's: I know what I'll be watching tonight! Thanks a lot! Both of these are really nice! I hope to finish mine soon!

Nice! I'm glad mine arrived this quickly. Less that a week, I think? I was also worried about the drawings being folded, so I drew them in a very small Moleskine pocket sketchbook. They're 3.5"x5.5" or around 8.5x13.5cm. Much smaller than I'm used to drawing. They were actually the first thing I drew in that sketchbook, and I bought it winter 2017. Trabant posted:
A fellow dry eraseboard artist! Nice Garfield and Odie, as well. I'll say Rutger Hauer is 154 to help me catch up. 155.

  The border is weird but that is because I soaked the sheets in the sink for a few minutes before taping them to the board and this is what then happens. Good things: awesome paint flow, no warping at all, trying new things. Bad things: borders look weird. Maybe do it woithout tape next time. Making the stars is splashing around with a brush with a bit of white gouache on it. Everything on my desk has stars on it now, my keyboard, my pens, my phone and the big screen (I wiped those off) and you'd almost say this is an artist's workshop! I'll go watch a few video's on sunsets now, done with night skies for a while. A fun thing I found is keeping all these little pieces in a drawer and then when friends come over and we talk about hobbies I can pull them out and let them pick one. Either people are really delighted or super polite, I'll happily settle for either.

It's on toned paper so that accounts for the weird texture. Update:  To be listened to with Lorn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENNgSMVRmXw Well - pretty much any Lorn really.

I’ve challenged myself to make something big for my next show in two months, 18x24” big, and it’s a bit intimidating! So I’m doing some formal thumbnailing for maybe the first time since... a long time

I'm a sucker for that repeating pattern, but wouldn't that be a massive pain to carve?All you'd need to do for the first one is add the words "Momma needs her wine" and it would sell like hot cakes*. *I have never sold hot cakes, I got no idea how hard they are to sell. Quick horror sketch because bees are effort.

dupersaurus posted:Real talk though, I’m a bit worried that my usual bag of tricks won’t work at this scale, and I feel like I’m wary of the whole headshot trope I Thinking about it, could you carve the pattern out once and stamp it all over? Unwanted advice alert, don't try to force stuff you don't feel good about doing, but if you wanna try and mix it up a bit while still holding on to the headshot:  Weird long-shaped canvas is great and my fave and making compositions into one is fun! You still get to keep your portrait, but it's not front & center, so your eyes got more area to move around in and explore. Also if you're working big, a narrow area is easier to fill. If you're lost on what to do with the space that's not a portrait, consider adding storytelling items, like I've masterfully crafted in a knife and an ice-cream to show you how much of a difference it can make in the feel of the pic when you've got something that speaks about the character that's in it. Doesn't need to be this on-the-nose, you could make the background pattern a wrench or add, I dunno, like a rose to the background to hint at a garden or a giraffe neck to say we're on a safari. Something that speaks of a location. If you're feeling really adventurous, you could even make a man-portrait.
