My first life drawing class, and really my first class seriously drawing the human figure. These are my five best longer poses in the class so far.

Drawn yesterday

This was when i decided i was never gonna use newsprint paper again because it sucks compared to real drawing paper. Like everything sucked before this

The figure's good in this one i think, but the job was to also capture the classroom, and i ran out of time so i quickly jotted it in

This one is of a friend for homework. I remember i was trying to get his legs right for a while, and I asked him "Does it bother you that I'm staring at your crotch for such a long time?" :lol

This one was funny because it was the first time we were doing value in our drawings, and our teacher told us it was pretty much the hardest thing you could do for first time because the model was black :lol

And also, I wanted to post this art meme/survey because it was really fun to do, and maybe you guys would like to try doing one!

Same here Raging! :( It's all good though, I had fun working on it and thanks for the critique on my piece.

Yours came out sweet!

I hope the entries that made it in are damn good, because yours is great and would definitely be worthy of being in the book.

Here's mine:

Thanks! It was kinda rushed but I think it came out well (pencils on a Saturday, colors on a Sunday, submitted 15 minutes before the deadline, lol, maybe I was late?)

Yours came out good! Im glad I was able to help a bit with the details.

Great piece Uselink!

BTW I'm looking for a sketchpad, because I'm sick of throwing away all my sketches, so with a sketch pad it would motivate me to draw more. Any idea where I can find that stuff? Something not big, preferably hardcover. I've seen some artists who use something like that before on conceptart.org.

Just finished this today for my animation class (we're doing background and character design).

If you want me to resize it so it doesn't screw with the forum dimensions, just ask.

I would just like to know if anyone finds this image too clustered/busy to look at. It contained even more stuff going on, but I tried to reduce it to the most important images.

I would say it's still pretty busy, but it depends on where it's going to be displayed. If people have a long time to look at it, then it's ok. But I think for most purposes, it would be best to remove everything that isn't necessary. I would take out anything that doesn't directly contribute to the message you're trying to convey.

A regular art store would have something you need, also Michaels or Barnes and Noble tend to have stuff as well :)

It's intended to be a part of a mural...so that's difficult to say. This is for a class and will even be hung up for show when presenting it, so I suppose it gives anyone however long they want to look at it. I looked again at the image, and I agree that it is still busy and will intend on ridding some elements.

Thanks for your feedback!

Staples, Target, Walmart, basically any place where you could shop for school supplies usually have sketchpads of some sort.

Here's a remade version of the comic I already posted here a while ago. Feedback is appreciated. Decided to go for more contrast and clarity. Not very happy about the last page and the rushed conclusion :(

The twilight sketches are cool! Remind me of flower (psn).
The pelican is sick! :D
And the link looks pretty good!
The coloring could use a little work for such important subject matter,
thats good you've got value in it, try coloring it in corel painter!
I think you'll get a kick out of it.


Anyway, here's what my Animation Demo Reel looks like so far:

Check it out!!
What do you think, GAF??

Love the animation Dreweyes. Reminds me of a kid's cartoon/Crayola commercials. LOL
Makes me wish I had the patience to animate something!

Anyway, I've been drawing a LOT of videogame art lately, but here's a sample of it.. lol

Fire Emblem 10, Wii Music, and Pokemon Platinum with me as the trainer.
Quit_Playin___Games____by_Meibatsu.jpg


I had fun drawing the Pokemon one, so I did another one.. with colours!
Pokeprax_Platinum_by_Meibatsu.jpg


When I figured that drawing in my favourite styles from videogames was fun, I tried to do some Advance Wars themed ones... (not Days of Ruin style--too hard!). Prax on the left fights for the Orange Star army, MG on the right fights for the Green Earth army.
Praxvance_Wars_by_Meibatsu.jpg
Praxvance_Wars___MG_by_Meibatsu.jpg


Then LoZ: Spirit Tracks art I did mostly before seeing screenshots. :)
Get_on_the_Hype_Train_by_Meibatsu.jpg


Then I decided to finally be a cheater like all artists are and use photo references for sexy pictures. Are these considered safe for work or no? Tell me and I can take them off. lol
The person on the right for both of those images is a hermaphrodite that I draw sometimes more male or female (sorry if I "trapped" you in some way!).

Okay, I posted this on the gaming side, but what a colossal error. This is the place to be.

I love the work of...and this is only off the top of my head here...Raging Spaniard, OchreHand, BigBen85, Extollere, Sammy, Xun, Orioto, Arcipello, RadiantDreamer, ManaBanana, and a bunch of others. I really hope one of these guys is interested. Anyway, here's the deal.

I'm looking to contract a background and character artist for my upcoming Xbox 360 Community Games title, which used to be called Beatdown, but will in the future be called something less stupid. Though work has progressed significantly since this old trailer for Dream Build Play 2008, here it is: http://www.vimeo.com/1784876. It's a fusion between a rhythm game and a traditional RPG. It will likely be submitted to several Independent Games contests/festivals in addition to a standard release on XBLCG.

I'm looking for approximately 20 background works at 1280x720 resolution, and 12 different character works at 300x500 resolution. Each character work will need a couple minor variations; different facial expressions and whatnot.

I'll give you a loose description of what I need, but the specifics of character design will up to you. What I'm looking for is a very distinct style, whatever it may be. Lines can bleed out of the character, colors can run, however you want to roll.

If you're interested, please PM with a link to a gallery/site with some of your past works; please try to include at least one character and one environment. If I like what I see, I'll give you a holler. As an indie dev, I don't have a huge budget, but I'll try to keep rates fair. There won't really be a strict deadline, either...I have plenty of work to do on the coding side as well.

Thanks!

I've been sketching a lot lately, thinking about painting again. Here's one I did a week ago.

I just made this drawing to 'learn' how to draw traditional Chinese and Japanese drawings:

I made it looking at another drawing. I will try to do another one just by myself with what I just learned.

Whoah, a lot of talent in this thread! Good job all around.

Does graphic layout count? (I apologize for the large images)
Culture_Week_Flyer__2008_by_Tf53.jpg


A flyer for the University of Helsinki Faculty of Arts student organization. Culture week 2008. The title is a play on "HUmanistien KUlttuuriviikot" (=Arts students' culture week), Huku kulttuuriin = drown in culture. I wanted to make the word "drown" to be as big and legible as possible to draw attention. The blue background helps make the connection between drowning and water more vivid.

A4, double sided, folded in three.

Poster__Sports_Week_2009_by_Tf53.jpg


A poster for the University of Helsinki Faculty of Arts student organization. Sports week 2009. The title is a play on the name of the student organization, Humanisticum (or Humppa, as they like to call it), and humppa, a Finnish dance form. A popular Finnish band called Eläkeläiset have coined the title slogan, which means "Do the humppa or die!". The title lead to the dance-step guide theme.

Since the organization decided not to do a flyer, the poster has a lot more text than I would've liked.

Printed in A3.

I really wish I could draw, and I keep playing with the idea that I'll start practicing, but it's still low on my priority list, and I'm not sure if I'll ever get there. :(
