This painting has two titles: "Burning the Brushwood" (before planting) or "Under the Yoke." I'm told the little girl staring at us has a belly bloated with starvation.

To everyone, feel free to post any school artwork or practice or whatever else in here if you want.

Ooh, I like that little merfolk. And those birds; birds are hard.

Birds are hard, but about 90% of what I draw (that isn't random curly lines) is birds so...
The frowny face is drawn after "social darwinism". That deserves a frowny face. And, yes, you will find a lot of weird doodles in my notebooks.

I usually draw big, sparkly eyes in my notebooks, or random chibis of either me or the little people running around my head trying to conquer various countries that also exist only in my head.
I usually draw random faces. Or strange creatures and patterns/ symbols and lots of knives. AKA no I cannot share my notes with you.
Done while listening to a speech that actually wasn't boring, but I needed something to do with my hands at the time.

The armorless version of the character is really, really nice! Reminds me of Tatsuya Yoshikawa works, in a way - and that's a big compliment, he's one of my favourite illustrators heh.

It's not the same character, I'm just not very creative when it comes to poses =P. But thanks, don't recognise the artist's name but I like what google search is yielding.

Sadly, the paper in the sketchbook I have is slightly worse than regular printer paper, so they're just with microns. I have a bottle of ink sitting on my desk, along with my shiny nibs, just waiting...
I actually haven't played any the Zelda games (something I plan to remedy eventually), so I wouldn't know. ;D

Wow, those are amazing. What a distinctive style you have! With the mask-like faceplates, your work has elements of The Lion King (and therefore traditional African art), Hayao Miyazawa's designs in Spirited Away, and Edward Gorey's critters... and yet it's uniquely yours.
I could totally see a gallery full of that kind of art.

It's supposed to be a model of the Penang Bridge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penang_Bridge) but ended up looking more Generic Cable Stayed Bridge
Due to said bridge engineer dad, it's a working (albeit wonky-looking) model, with the wire "cables" anchored in the deck.

Your photo reminded me of something amazing I saw last year: a handmade, redwood replica of the Bixby Creek Bridge in Big Sur (http://www.wheeleraudio.com/BritishColumbia2008/IMG_7617.jpg)(just south of Carmel, California, where my parents are from).
The replica itself is about 4 1/2' tall/my chin-height (I guess 1.5 meters?) and 13-14(?) feet long. You'd need a big living room to fit this objet d'art!

Wow, that's amazing for a teenager. What kind of class would assign you to make a model of a local bridge -- art, engineering, local history/geography?Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem at all likely that it was for a class. It may have been for a National Day class display, and only this impressive because dad and I decided that overkill was the best way to approach it. Plus of course, a great father-daughter activity for dad to glow with pride over, while imparting Important Bridge Structure Knowledge to his spawnling.

The only thing I would like to see changed really is scarf girl's lower legs, maybe you could stretch those a bit further under the ankles.

The only thing I would like to see changed really is scarf girl's lower legs, maybe you could stretch those a bit further under the ancles. Muscle man looks like a cross between Eren from Attack on Titan and Gutts from Berserk.Hmmmmm the ankles look fine to me? My ankles are like that, but, you know, not stylized :P
But the feet's foreshortening is.......slightly off but I'm terrible at feet so I don't know why or how to improve it... If they are foreshortened, that is.
Maybe they're on an angle where you can see the tops of them?
The chick directly on her left though has got some great flowing shapes and lines! She's got movement and character.

Hmm. Maybe. I mean, there are short people in this world, maybe I'm just too used to wiry elongated Europeans.
Skinny-jeans girl and her friend? Yeah, those hips are out of control!

Scarf girl is cool! And trendy!! OuOI'm quite happy with how she (and the Native American skirt guy on the bottom) turned out, haha. Though I just realized her leg bones are still there... As for the feet, everyone on the page has potato chip feet, cause I haven't spent any time learning feet, yet. Skirt boy got the worst of it, cause i didnt feel like fixing it up with him. Hip girl was actually a bit referenced, especially for the hips, though I changed up a bit of the final pose, and I'm happy with how it turned out. Muscle man was referenced from a YouTube thumbnail of a basket ball player, and I just added in everything below the pecs. I'm pretty happy with how those four turned out.
The marshmallow men X'D do they have hats?
Edit: Okay, that was all written while eating breakfast this morning, on my phone, so that's why I didn't explain anything very clearly. Just fixed it up a little bit. Also, I just remembered: I did hair, and I'm actually happy with how it turned out for once. Scarf girl and skirt guy turned out really well, I think, all in all.

Um... I am a living version of scarf-girl (with maybe slightly larger thighs, plus big duck-feet), so I can testify, there are lots of people with those proportions.
That's why I never, never wear skinny jeans or anything that narrows at the ankles. Boot-cut pants are much better at not making my legs look like giant ice cream cones.
But enough about me. Eich, scarf-girl's hair flows very realistically, and I like how the twists of the scarf echo the curves of her hair!

You don't have to be skinny to wear skinny jeans ;)
Eich certainly has a good eye for shape and flow, even in the marshmallow men :P

I can never get things to look how they do in my head :( so the room just did whatever it wanted to do, including having different vanishing points and perspectives of the furniture vs the floorboards vs the walls ;-; I can draw with perspective I swear! X'D my brain just didn't want to today, and it is a dream room......so I guess it does what it wants :P
My brain also forgot how to draw a cat-loaf and I was drawing with pen so I just ended up making the kitty a black blob :P haha oh dear....
Also, I don't paint, so excuse the colour field day X'P

My roommate's asleep right now, so I have to be quiet; I'm sure the scratching of a pencil would be annoying. :-X

Eh, it's okay. Our beds actually have ladders built into the head/footboards that we can climb up with. Actually, I'm not sure if they had ladders in the dream or not... Hmm. I'll have to fudge that around a bit tomorrow...

I really hope this will post. I really really hope this will post. I've just completed my first ever complete chapter of a comic (http://www.webtoons.com/challenge/episodeList?titleNo=720), and I'm super super excited about it. Also super tired. I've pulled off an all-nighter finishing it ;;_;;
Congratulations! :D
Personally I really liked it. Not being polite, I really did. The colour gamma is beautiful, and the lines are cool. It seems short, though, but there's gonna be more, of course. Have you already planned the whole story out?
And now I'm gonna say something mean. Like, very, very mean. It's all the monospaced font and the kerning. I know it's not that significant for a comic (it's not an book or a logo or a sign, after all), but maybe you would like to do a little research (http://paper-leaf.com/blog/2012/05/how-to-kern-properly-essential-tips-resources/)? Terribly sorry if it sounded rude, I just wish the text to be as awesome as the art. :-[
You can throw rocks at me, of course.

Kudos to you!! It looks great, especially the colors. ;D
I realllly want to start putting some comics up on tumblr, but I can't seem to get anything done.
Post by: Lenny on December 07, 2014, 06:59:08 PM
Thank you for the comments, everyone! I'm really excited about this project, so I'm happy other people like it, too.
Ah, the font... don't hit me, but I purposefully chose that one because of its faults XD But if it's giving people the same irritation I get from smooth fonts, I'll change it!~ After rereading it for the umpteenth time, I can see I've placed the text awkwardly in several places, too - nothing to do with the font itself there, but everything to do with my placement. Mmm. Improvement ahead!
It seems short, though, but there's gonna be more, of course. Have you already planned the whole story out?
I've got the story all planned out - it's one that's been in development for over a year already, haha. Chapters are short in order to give me leeway to finish them within a week - I really don't want my motivation to deplete. The completed story will be 5-10 chapters long, depending on whether I need to add/subtract things.
I realllly want to start putting some comics up on tumblr, but I can't seem to get anything done.
This was my trouble for the longest of times - quite literally years. I've been drawing comic pages for years and years, but this is the first time I've actually managed to finish a chapter. Hence excitement! And sharing it everywhere! I'm super proud of myself just being able to finish that chapter, even if it can be improved.
I really like it! :D I like the colours and Marcel and gosh how is Misha so chill- unless being a cat is a normal thing-- *bookmarks*
Being a cat isn't normal - Misha just happens to be one of the most relaxed characters I've ever written, haha. Marcel's more the worrying type ;) He was the brainchild of many sleepless nights... "I haven't read a story with a protagonist that has con=lack of sleep! This needs to happen!"
I might add that the site is a mobile site, and hence the quality tends to be grainy on PC monitors :P
I was hoping someone would start posting comics in here!
Rest up; making awesome stuff overnight is tiring.
Oooh yeah. Hmm. Well. Three hours sleep is enough, right? ;) I'll catch up tonight...

...That... is not your best. Ugh. Well, I would've backed down, but I did promise already. Here (http://imgur.com/X0ox03H)'s a painting done some time ago in two minutes or so but didn't finish. Our theatre teacher asked us something that could be our identity and this thing came out. As you can see I didn't finish it, no eyes, no nose, the mouth is just a line to say that "here should go a mouth". That line in her face was originally blood, then I thought that it wouldn't be a good thing to draw in this case and I made it black to decide whether to keep it or not. Now that I think of it, I drew a very similar thingy a few months ago for art class. I'm sensing a disturbing pattern here.
it is great. but not as fearsome as I expected it to be :D gor for it nimph and tell us how your classmates reacted. Also if you find some time read into erving goffman

Hmm, I did want it to be more fearsome. It didn't turn out well, but as I said I drew it quickly. I'll make sure to tell you the reaction when I get it (and they're not my classmates. Quite a lot of them are aged between 16 and 19. I'm one of the youngest and thus one of the shortest)

Even older than the last one (by old I mean I made it like ten months ago)
(http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2015/004/8/7/siren_by_sigridmarie-d8cktp0.png)
Sketched out with a hard pencil, lines drawn with a black pen. The siren is coloured with watercolour pencils and the background is regular watercolour.
Yeah and here's something I drew two months ago. I really really really like drawing hair ok I swear it's the most fun thing to draw ever.

So are you! I'm amazed by the self-portrait you did on the tablet. After spending half an hour fumbling about with graphics in Microsoft Office and realizing I can't even write legibly with a mouse, I am doubly impressed that you were able to get such fine lines and delicate color control when you're not actually touching the art medium.
And I love love love the hair hair hair. That drawing is so lyrical -- it reminds me of Alphonse Mucha's Art Nouveau pictures. (I'm far from the only Mucha fan here.) As a "person of hair" myself, I know whom to commission if I ever want a glamour portrait drawn!

Thanks! And believe me, it took a lot of trying and failing to be able to draw somewhat adequately on the tablet. I'm not good with technology and computers and stuff at all, so basically I just sit there and do stuff I don't really understand until I'm satisfied...
Wow, thank you! I love Mucha! Hehehe, the dangers of having me draw you is that I might only spend like two minutes on your face so that I can get to the hair straight away (believe me, it has happened before, albeit not when I was comissioned)

Drawing hair is very relaxing to me, because it allows me to just zone out for a while. This started out as a doodle, and then I just kept working on it on the bus, during lessons, while waiting for a friend and so on.

Surprisingly, making these effects was pretty easy, and helps me to cool down before I head off for bed. :)

Did you create every element by hand, like you did with the Sigrunhand in your previous assignment?
If so, that's amazing!
(I still want the blown-up Sigrunscene on a coffee mug. Or a purse, or a pair of shoes... except I'm probably not fashion-forward enough to rock art shoes...)

Also when talking to Piney on IRC the other night, we were talking about how many sketchbooks we have. So, I dug out all the sketchbooks I could find and photographed them. I also took some pictures of the contents. Old Sketchbooks (http://imgur.com/a/92IL6)
For an actual picture, here's my nengajo for this year.

I think you have great talent, and as I've mentioned before also a great style. I assume these are digitally made?aaaah thanks!!! These ones are first sketched with pencil in my sketchbook, and painted over digitally, yes.
I'm way more comfortable with traditional art, though, especially ink and watercolour!!
these are from a calendar project a few years back

and speaking of unicorns (I draw so many unicorns) I made an animation for a school project once, it's 11 seconds long and right here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8m35eQK3zw). It's all drawn traditionally with pencil and ink (with a quill. never again) and I spent two months on it hahahaha

I love how un-horse-like and distinctive that unicorn is! I suspect that from now on, any unicorn image I see not looking like that is going to look very second-best!

It's a fusion of 2 similar very vain gems, a pink day's eye and an orange cat's eye, which is why she's sunset-colored. They stay stable because they are again very vain and very pleased with the appearance of the fusion (what trashlords, wow.) Her eyes are the 2 gems.

It's Kireya of the Arrowlost clan, and a unicorn named Unicorn. They happen to be the characters of my pet postapocalyptic story project, ha. Sure, the main character is some kinda mage with a ridiculously long braid but that's a coincidence. (It is. I've had this character for longer than SSSS has existed. SHRUGS. Also she's more of an archer than a mage, really.)

I noticed you reblogged it on tumblr, thanks! (no one ever reblogs my non-fanart) But yeah, the character's a... railroad guy, so he'll probably be holding a lot of lanterns, heh.

Of course, what kind of webcomic artist would I be if I didn't promote myself?? :D
Hmm, I've been wanting to draw, maybe I can work on some pages today...

Speaking of that webcomic 4 of the characters above are the main team from my never-gonna-happen webcomic :0 from left to right in the height chart, there's Valentina (drawn on the bottom too what a beautiful child), Vim, Cat Piersaw (also drawn on the left), Alice Newsom, Elena, and KARRI BECAUSE I'M TRASH
The crappy drawing on the bottom was done with my left hand (wrong one) after seeing Piney's wrong-hand magic, don't judge
ALSO I FEEL THAT FOR HORRENDOUS OLD DESIGNS. cat's been redesigned like 5 times and all the previous ones were awful hhhh
Post by: Piney on April 03, 2015, 03:13:41 AM
Nothing much, but here are five of my beautiful children, my male protagonists/co-tagonists, organized by height. (I have six stories in the works if you're wondering)
(http://i.imgur.com/eeOKZ0i.jpg)
The one on the right's name is Adam. The other ones I can't tell you, for reasons. And pretend Bowleggy on the left is a couple inches taller - he's hard to fit on a page.

........ people want OC talk?? I have like. whole tags on my tumblr for Actual Information but okay. okay. short versions
- Kireya (braid huntress on previous page) is a monster huntress in a postapocalyptic world (wayyyy postapocalyptic, humanity has practically restarted many many years ago and everything is weird) and is the last remainder of her forest clan, the Arrowlost. She is trying to sever her connection to addictive forest magic that is what killed her entire clan. FUN TIMES
- Unicorn is... a very old, lost creature that is trying to connect with the forest because they feel like they really really should, but can't, somehow. They have weird anti-magics and are somewhat obsessive compulsive because they're actually a self-insert of me and I didn't even realize that at first. haha woops. They team up with Kireya in a search for a Lost Age city that might solve their problems. On the way they also team up with a thief queen and a bird keeper kid and there will be like. monster slaying adventures
- Teirenn (blue haired wing guy) is the Guardian of a fancy temple and has had zero interaction with the outside world.
- Caithe (dark wing gal) is an INTRUDER IN THE TEMPLE WHAT THE HECK.
they proceed to have the Best Adventures and the Worst Frenship
(http://40.media.tumblr.com/ee753fd96712d6ca8edb4ce88428b36c/tumblr_njlr30fsYL1r6soqlo1_1280.jpg)
........ i have actually so much more info on these guys but I kinda. lack the energy to make it short enough?? here's their story tag (http://unicorngender.tumblr.com/tagged/working-title:-temple-pals/chrono) for Specially Interested hahahaha. there are actually two more characters in this story.........
- Sparrow Spellcaster is a genderqueer mage that is constantly exhausted and also very vain. You will probably find xem sleeping in odd positions in odd places. Most known for having once summoned a ghastly beast that run away, and Sparrow's magic is still sustaining it and xe can't cancel the spell at all and oh dear.
and THEN i have like. a whole fairyverse story full of FAERIES and WEIRD STUFF but i don't have any proper pics of them either. just a lot of doodles. sighs

Yes that is me in the drawings, and no, they are not drawings per se, but photo tracings.
If these are liked I can post two more.

I haven't seen cowboy bebop but this is really nice!!! I like the poses and the background of Mysterious Scribblies
Edwaaaaard!!! She is so wonderful. These are two of my all time favorite characters. <3 Thanks for sharing. It looks great, and you can never have too much Cowboy Bebop. :)
Thank you both! I'll one day actually end up finishing that picture and it will be wonderful, but I am glad you can enjoy it as it it :D Edward is indeed wonderful. (Also Haiz, watch iiiiiit. You will most likely not end up regretting it.)
Speaking of original characters and pet projects, here's some concept art I did for my future webcomic:
Piney, don't forget to share it on the Minnion's webcomics thread (http://ssssforum.pcriot.com/index.php?topic=278.0) once you've got it up and running! Any webcomic by you is bound to be really fun to read :D *is looking forward to it*
My god that is awesome, that is reeeaally awesome! Kinda a lil creepy as well, but awesome.
Aren't all the best things both? ;) But, thank you very much!
Now. Did someone say OCs?
Have a really bleh drawing of my two main characters in my webtoon (and a very rare one where Misha is actually human):

I have a lot of art, working on some SSSS fan art right now, but in the mean time here are some original works. I mainly draw with pencils and ink, tho I also indulge in digital art. However, I seem to prefer the traditional way more.

Horrible things out of the way first - please resize images down to width=1000px or less by using the walkthrough set out here (http://ssssforum.pcriot.com/index.php?topic=35.msg534#msg534).
Other than that, man. I love your pencil techniques :D And I am more happy than I can say to see a Terry Pratchett tribute - I'm working on one of my own, but it is ... more than difficult to put what I feel onto canvas with regards to that great personage.

I do really love your pencil work, though. I tend to think, "oh, this line here should be emphasized more" and then I end up with the whole thing really dark.

I'm actually a face person myself. But the model had a beard and the other model was wearing a lot of jewelery, and I wasn't about to paint facial hair so I improvised. (the fabric was from elsewhere in the setup) And anyway, painting a face from life is too daunting for me to try. I'm too much of a perfectionist to draw and paint a face from that far away. :P

There is actually a story behind this one. These angry-looking birds are called Worker Birds, and they are the guardian angel/grim reaper for people. They get assigned a person and carry a scroll with the person's name on it. They also have their alphabet (shown below). They can decide when people die, and when they do, they simply tear up the scroll. They're pretty big too. In their universe it's uncommon to see then following people, but when you do see them it's considered a good omen from the gods. And they can cause good luck too. As they can decide when people die, they can also save them from passing away to soon.

Officially there are three - one for SSSS, one for aRTD, and one for anything else (which is this one). Glad you're enjoying them!~
Anyways. Nnng these days are quite fun, most of what I draw I'm liking, and that doesn't happen all too often!
Have some character concept art for a maybe-comic in future:

Here's...well, he's meant to be an OC, not my OC, but this one old-ish character of LEPPU, another Finnish artist(draws that awesome comic, Prague Race, tho I don't think this guy is in it).
Anyway, I drew him a couple of years ago and today I got it in my head to draw him again, just for comparison's sake :D I'm not sure if he's recognizable from LEPPU's original anymore(probably didn't have hair that long) but, oh well, at least I think I have improved :D

I think his name was Katchin? Or something like that, it's been a long time and my memory's not the best..

Haiz that is one of the coolest backstories I have heard in a LONG time! You have a natural talent for cool stories and ugh just yes I love this?? fight ALL THE LIBRARIES ALL THE TIME AND LOOK COOL DOING IT
SolarPoweredGirl, these are so cute! Your art is so exuberant!
tabea that looks like a ton of fun! These are all so pretty and your style is so angularly cool? I love looking at it :0
Lenny I love this so much! The pose has such an elegant flair to it and the dog is adorable ^^
Sumeri, ahhhhhHHHH these are SO BEAUTIFUL i love the cheekbones on the second one? your style has gotten a lot lighter, like. less dark lines and that neck is so gorgeous help

SolarPoweredGirl: Aww, those are really cute! c:
So I did a style thing a while back, and thought I'd post it here since Ibutcheredattempted Minna's style. She's an OC. Also, Dany is a friend of mine and wanted to include her, haha.

Oh god this is so cool! I love the smoke and the shading, I love how there are so very few colours and how it works so very well and still gives the piece the feeling of not being monochrome (it makes sense since it's not actually monochrome but I mean there are very few colours in this piece. It just - doesn't feel like it when you look at it and I like it.)
Also, may I ask what the thoughts and/or story behind this piece were? It really looks amazing, I really do like it a lot!

Hey, thanks!~ I know what you mean about the monochrome-yet-not, it's the reason I love working with this colouring style (two colours + white). I developed it when working with graphite pencils and charcoal years ago - quite fun, putting in just hints of colour to make it more alive.
As to what's behind this piece... nothing earthshattering, unfortunately. I just happen to love fantasy, and really adore mystery. (Also ... another comic idea, and this guy might be a possible character in it. We shall see.) And of course, heavily influenced by Japanese ink drawings + monsters. This guy behind his mask may not be all that nice.

It is a really cool style, you should most definitely spam us with more of this! I, for one, would love more of this style! It's possibly one of the art styles I love the most; those who look simple at first, but then you realize it's not that simple after all!
As for the MYSTERIOUS HIDDEN NOT YET EXISTING MEANING behind this; I'd love for you to give a nudge in my direction if you ever decide to actually use this character in a comic, I'd love to see him in actionnn~
And yeah, I figure he wouldn't be the nicest ; )

Callipygous: that's simply beautiful. Now let me stare at it in admiration for a loooong time.
Piney: that looks brilliant already.... it'll be so impressive when finished! How long has it taken you to get this far? Not gonna lie I never got the hang of oil colours so I'm fiercely jealous to people who excel at them.
mithrysc: Aaaah I love them! Such cute creatures, and agreed antlers are awesome!
Oh Deer: super cuuute, I especially love the cat... does the same thing as one cat here in our neighbourhood that tries to sneak in through our open window from time to time and then gives me the cute open-belly attack when I tell her to get out. :D Is this OC for the SSSS or just in general?
Post by: Piney on April 17, 2015, 03:09:56 AM
Piney made what I believe will become an amazing piece, and it looks so good and almost a little scary.
Thanks, yay, I try to go for scary!
Post by: Oh Deer on April 17, 2015, 07:47:08 AM
It's just in general, but (I haven't thought of a name) would probably be like Reynir if thrown into SSSS. Confused, scared and adorable :3

Then it's mithryscs pieces, and I absolutely adore them; if there's a story behind them, I would love to hear it, because those creatures look so cool and would fit a story with multiple realms or just a spiritual realm (because they remind me of "spirit creatures", like in The Legend of Korra. Spirits that look like animals, but don't quite fit the preferred description.. I'm not sure whether or not I've made my point clear..)[/font]
Thanks! (and thank you so much everybody else for your comments.) There's sort of a story, and sort of not,
Haiz: Your inks are amazing. And so is the frog. Of course the frog. ;D
Sigrid Marie: Your painting really captures the...uh, sense of your sister? I'm really bad at adequately explaining what I mean, but to default to things I can describe: I like the contrast between the flat pink of the dress and the realism of everything else.

I also come bearing drawings. Most of them were drawn on my phone on my way to work and are characters for fan fictions I am writing.

The drawing my avatar is taken from. It's a man, I just didn't feel like revealing to the whole train that I cannot draw certain aspects of the male anatomy and was hoping I could cheat with the watery effect that I kinda failed, too…

And that self-insert persona I started to develop yeeeaars ago when I first got hooked up on Sailor Moon.
Working on some SSSS-OC-self-insert thingy for her now. :D And I think after cutting her hair a while back (it used to reach down to the floor before I got fed up with it) I might get rid of the green highlights in it now, too.

It's an attempt at art noveau Margaery Tyrell. Never tried art noveau style before, but it turned out pretty okay? she's supposed to be holding a tiny flask of poison but that didn't turn out as okay as the rest.
I stayed up to 3AM to paint this. painting on fabric is a chore ahahah

Haiz, all of your art is just. so cool where did you learn to color theory it's magic
AT SCHOOL ACTUALLY
we had. so much color theory. so much
and we had to copy a painting with Special Attention on colours
I did mine after one of Van Gogh's:

I also like the van Goghian study. The fluffy tree and the clouds are adorable/impressive.
asdasdasd2: I never have enough patience to to get perspective right that's why my backgrounds look the way they do. I don't even have enough patience for proper anatomy most of the time.

(https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/11009174_10206844888186675_7919759373721136778_n.jpg?oh=1066ef20f3ea7c4df8150f838c7077f9&oe=55D8F18E&__gda__=1437036011_2160d56ccdfb749901c507468715057d)
I guess I'll just.. return to my practising.. (and also YES that is supposed to be her hair I'm sorry but I TRIED AND I DID MY BEST AND THEREFORE NO ONE CAN JUDGE ME i think)
Post by: wildfire on April 21, 2015, 06:31:39 PM
You are really talking yourself down; it looks just like Tuuri to me!
It's beautiful.
OK I realise too late that Tuuri probably should have been posted in the SSSS-museum.
Also thank you guys! It's really motivating to hear(read?) especially since I think it's so much fun to draw, but I never felt like I got any better, so I gave up when I was about 14, and I haven't drawn since. But this forum and this fandom just - inspired me and I want to try and practice and I want to share with you my results, so here I have some other small pieces I drew just now.
(https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xft1/v/t1.0-9/r90/11074390_10206845857690912_8243545988315664078_n.jpg?oh=13820e9f30faa5e360505d39bdd59525&oe=55DBE5AF&__gda__=1437010475_ec1cb8482bdb2f833a67104b31169106)
I don't know what I tried to do here, I just - tried.
(https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/r270/11182184_10206845858050921_8215642939101125883_n.jpg?oh=70f03c6aaf4f43060b1a5f031867f513&oe=55D454A8)
I knew EXACTLY what I was trying to do here, and it turned out OK. I tried to include some of the symbols Minna uses for her comic, but I know it's not symmetrical and as pretty as in the comic. Still, I tried. (Should this also go in the fan art thread, perhaps? I never do fan art so I don't know what qualifies..)
(https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/r270/11048773_10206845857730913_5605588960788688729_n.jpg?oh=e1d6dbce7334b0d29c93cf2e2a299e10&oe=55D064FB)
And then there's my self-insert, Iða Kristínudóttir Leifsdóttir (http://ssssforum.pcriot.com/index.php?topic=359.msg28949#msg28949) - it turned out MUCH BETTER than expected, but proportions - what even is that? And also: how do I head? (And yes, I tried to draw her whistling but I'm not sure how clear that is..)

Haha, yeah, I tried to be KNOWLEDGED about my drawing but then it turned out the lined wouldn't be erased so there I was, crossing Tuuri, and I feel awful sorry Tuuri I still love you <3

Sigrid Marie: Your painting really captures the...uh, sense of your sister? I'm really bad at adequately explaining what I mean, but to default to things I can describe: I like the contrast between the flat pink of the dress and the realism of everything else.
Sigrid Marie that's enchanting! Good luck with the exhibition! I wish I could go and see it in person :P
Oh wow it's been too long since I checked this thread. Thank you both!

Far left mouth person is an old OC of mine. The two doodles right on top of each other are callipygous' adorable magical boy, bun girl and cat girl are also my old ocs, and then to the far right is lots of mermaid Emil?? *shoves drawings at computer and disappears*

and hey, as a contribution to the thread:
(http://i3.aijaa.com/b/00055/13809591.jpg)
This was seriously supposed to be a quick, simple sketch. BUT THEN. I made a bit more, adjusted the size of the canvas, made a bit more, made the canvas bigger again, etc etc until I got this monster. Jesus christ I don't even know what lines I'm supposed to ink anymore : D. And now it's huge. Oh well XD
Post by: Curry on April 23, 2015, 07:07:57 PM
Sumeri that's so pretty! :o I feel that actually. I have so many sketches where I just start doodling but then LINES and FLOWY THINGS and oops now nobody can understand it, not even me... This is incredibly beautiful though and the lines just enhance the image! I could stare at it for a very, very, very long time...
Post by: Stefanyeah on April 24, 2015, 10:20:28 AM
And I'm glad I'm not the only one randomly turning people into mermen. :P
Sumeri I don't think it needs colouring anymore. After the first seconds of confusion and what's going on, you recognise the figure and marvel at how those seemingly random lines actually make up a recognisable human.

I think the fire turned out great! :D
First up: Thank you all so much for the comments on my artwork and characters. One day I'll comment individually on each reply and on all the awesome artwork, but today is not that day. In fact, today is an horrific, terrible, awful day, and in order to make it feel a tiny bit better I made this:

I also drew this in Artrage for my profile pic:

I think I may have gone a bit overboard with the color, and he is a bit too brightly lit for a night time scene.
Aurora-borealis dance party anyone?
Post by: Curry on April 26, 2015, 11:36:23 AM
Lenny that picture has such a lovely atmosphere! I agree with Piney, it is haunting. The linework on the center figure is so pretty!
Latent Leprechaun those are both super pretty!I like the lines on the hair of the first one. Also, color?? Overboard?? Definitely not, I think it just looks like the sky is really bright • v • //definitely isn't guilty of having no grasp of color theory haha ha ha
Post by: Piney on April 26, 2015, 12:17:44 PM
Piney, that's adorable! The fire looks really good! Also, is that one of the OCs that you posted earlier? Are they a.... SUPERHERO? If they are one of the webcomic OCs I can't wait to see what the plotline is! :D
Yeah to all!! ;D Although I maybe wouldn't say so much "superhero" as "guy with superpowers", mostly because the story takes place in regular, modern day New York where superheroes aren't a thing. He's the main character of his webcomic, but I don't think we'll be seeing that for at least a couple years. (I have three different webcomics planned, and I want that one to be "the good one", y'know)

(I have three different webcomics planned, and I want that one to be "the good one", y'know)
This sounds so much like me...except, you know, my planning mostly involves lots of floating story snippets and pinterest boards full of reference and not actually a lot of drawing. So many stories, but also a lot more practice/time/skill/planning...
And just to stay sort of on topic: spring yard cleaning part 1 was yesterday, and I've been trying to use colors more, so here's an outfit/color exploration based on a rosemary bush (that got trimmed):

I think I might still do a bit of tweaking on the aurora one. Maybe make it look more like he is having a spotlight shining on him or an open door?
Post by: kahli on April 27, 2015, 09:34:25 PM
These first few are main characters from a pirate webcomic I'm planning:
First up is a sketch of Captain Benjamin Sooth. Because every Pirate thing has at least one British dude. He is one of the lucky few that has a definite confirmed name so far.
(http://indieanna.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Sooth.jpg)
Here is Captain Nix. Or Nyx or some spelling like that...
(http://indieanna.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/nix.jpg)
Nix again. I can't seem to be able to draw her consistently.
(http://indieanna.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/mir-nix.jpg)
I haven't decided on this guy's name yet (It should probably start with a J) but he is a pretty major character.
(http://indieanna.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/CCJ.jpg)
This is the drawing I'm most pleased with from this batch. I'm pretty sure his name will be Nezkabar. Please excuse my inability to draw hands.
(http://indieanna.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Nezkabar.jpg)
Next one here is from a different comic I'm making (it's post apocolyptic!)
(http://indieanna.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Mags.jpg)
(These next ones aren't from any comic of mine, they're just practice)
Practicing poses
(http://indieanna.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/art-1.jpg)
Running!
(http://indieanna.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/running-art.jpg)
I don't know who this dude is, I was just practicing head positions
(http://indieanna.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/art2.jpg)
And finally:
Have a happy Pikachu! ;D
(http://indieanna.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Pika.jpg)

Kahli, all those characters look so intriguing! I second callipygous. Post a link here when you start it up and I will follow the heck out of it 8)
OHMYGOODNESSREALLY?!? Thank you! This makes me so happy! ;D I will for sure put links here when I start! The story these characters are in probably won't happen for a while because I'm still working on the plot and my art skills but I have some practice ones planned that will be up sooner. Plus Minna has planned for SSSS to go on for quite some time so I'm sure we'll all still be here when I'm ready. ;)

Ha, I actually did walk by a dude sitting in front of a store on my way home who praised it and asked if I was selling.
And thanks, I wasn't sure about the colors actually. I don't usually like having colors so separated like that if they're nowhere else in the image.

Piney, first of all, those characters are actually adorable. The last picture of them is definitely my favorite, but all of them are so cute! :D The painting is so beautiful and the colors look incredibly vibrant and hhh that shading I have no words
The last picture is hanging on my wall, I liked it so much :) Also thank youuu

i seem to have no patience for neither book writing or comic making, so I always end up with a lot of weird snippets floatin' the void of contextlessness

this is from my fairyverse story, about five faeries connected to the elements as if guardians of them (the classics: fire, water, air, earth + quintessence), and this is the descendant of the quintessence guardian who was captured by humans centuries ago, causing the corruption of the element.
(Is it about mental illness or corrupted magic? spoiler: it's both)
...... the story itself is not all that dark actually, the protagonist is an absolute dork who grew up in the human city not even knowing he was a fairy. he can speak to birds and probably sings disney princess-esque arias when he thinks he's by himself

These are so beautiful, Haiz!
Are you planning to start a webcomic or something?
(By the way, I couldn't resist imagining Reynir as the fairy guy... :P)

(By the way, I couldn't resist imagining Reynir as the fairy guy... :P)
I..... WISH i was planning a webcomic? I'm... pretty bad at actually doing comics... I can do the drawings, but I'm too impatient for making panels, backgrounds, speech bubbles and uh. everything that makes it a comic and not just sketches floating around
Fairy guy (so far the only one I've actually named, Rezekiel) is PRETTY MUCH reynir, just a little less sheltered, since he's in the military of all things. well. to begin with. once he gets thrown back into fiary society he's super clueless and YEAH HE'S REYNIR
I haven't made any fairyverse art in a VERY LONG TIME so it's all pretty outdated, but here are character designs and other doodles (warning: long)

Yesssss more Sumeri art! I love the palette on the sketch so much. I don't know if that was the finished palette but it WORKS and it's BEAUTIFUL
The coloring on trinket lady is gorgeous as well! You have such a great handle on shading and light sources it's so pretty hhhh

Waahhh thank you(and Haiz, thank you also)! And oh god I've always thought that I'm s***ty at light sources and stuff and I just throw around shadow and light areas where-ever I think they look nice at, but it's good to hear that apparently I'm totally fooling other people! XD

I was bored in my highschool since i had a free hour and decided that why draw something while we are at it. End result was this sketch of an asian influenced dragon.
(http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a539/mikkopaavonsalo/20150506_122222_zpsrkmyxlak.jpg)
With highlighted edges.
(http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a539/mikkopaavonsalo/20150506_123932_zpstnxqmpla.jpg)
And here is the end result with a mix of coloring with woodcolors and painting the lighter blue areas with water soluble wood color.
To be honest i wasn't really happy with the colour and wanted the darker underbelly and the skin to have a deeper constract.
(http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a539/mikkopaavonsalo/20150507_103517_zpsfmb2ebtu.jpg)
And so i repainted him green. It's still a bit work in progress since i need to colour in some shadows still, but i think i can publish it already.
(http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a539/mikkopaavonsalo/IMG-20150508-WA0008_zpsm70wp1ku.jpeg)

The necklace Joan is wearing the reality jumping device. She brought it at a craft fair(from a sea glass vendor), and I'm not sure myself about its origins, but its either broken or malfunctioning/defective and something of a leisure device from some sort of Dimension Zero. It activates sporadically, but seems to have some sort of defense mechanism. Whenever she gets hurt seriously(or dies) she just pops up in some different dimension, good as new.(psychically)

KicknRun, really nice improvement! Keep it up! :D
HarrisWilkens - you have really good pencil technique, I love the cleanness :) I'd suggest that the next area you work on should be visualizing the skeleton inside the body - your figures seem to have a tendency to very very tiny ribcages that don't match up with the rest of the body. Up to you, though! (Eish, sorry for potentially unwanted critique, but your stuff is good so I want it to get even better, haha.)

I thought I might as well show you guys this painting I made
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-CT6BPVFd8Sc/VVtIcQPIcEI/AAAAAAAADqA/_HSyujWYsH0/w409-h533-no/wizardofoz.png)
it's an entry for a wizard of oz art contest
the winning piece is featured on the program for the musical (At a local theater. My little siblings are munchkins and my dad's the cowardly lion.)
and this is an idea for a webcomic I'm thinking of making
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-1d1d31gasYU/VVtIXEK-fjI/AAAAAAAADpw/KpNOQ2Q4K0o/w475-h533-no/webcomicidea.png)
it's about an artificial human sent from the future to study the past

And some more concept art for my pirate comic. I was saving these to be votebait or something but goshdarnit you people make me really want to show you my drawings. So I guess you get to be the first to see the votebait for a comic that doesn't actually exist yet without voting.

I have to use 4 layers on this thing, which I am pretty sure is more layers than this drawing will ever need. But at least Krita worked with me this time! It was pretty fun. Also, jeez, I draw the background first,next time.

I was trying to dig up some other pictures for another thread and randomly came across some old enamel paintings and jewellery pieces of mine... so hey, why not. :D
These are really pretty! I am not a person who normally wears jewellery, but I would wear these.
I have some things that I made pre SSSS discovery. I still make them, I actually have two books full of them in my closet. They're sort of mixed media/found art things. I've never really shown them to people though, they're mostly to keep me from going insane from life. :P Everything on them is of my own creation except for the words. They are all quotes from songs or books that I found fit well with the pieces. Some of them have stories about the objects on them.
Spoiler: show
And that's all for now. I have tones of these, but those are my favourite ones. I hope you enjoy them.

I've forgotten how good it was to draw horses in jousting wear. Really need to get into drawing them again, used to draw them all the time a few years back.
I'll probably get back to this one in a little. I want to add a few shadows on grass, and maybe gradient that lineart...
Edit: Oh dude, totally forgot to add reigns. And I'd drawn in all the tack so faithfully on the sketch... ah well. Definitely returning to it tomorrow.

(http://pre03.deviantart.net/a4ed/th/pre/i/2015/150/8/9/energen_drone_v1_by_monsteara-d8vd2wx.png)
The Energen first appeared in the Local cluster around the time of the first contact between the Monsteara and Maxim-Cre. Their drones began harvesting energy and information, and evidently the leader of the Energen decided it would be in his best interest to ensure the two nations never joined forces. These drones (and their larger variants) managed to fight a shadow war for years, manipulating the Maxim-Cre's mistrust of magic and the Monstearian sense of wonder until the two factions fought. It was only after a bloody war that the true cause was confirmed.

If anyone has a graphic tablet, I'd recommend checking out Matt Kohr's excellent tutorial videos at Ctrlpaint.com (http://www.ctrlpaint.com/). They are mostly about working in Adobe Photoshop, although many of his methods can also be applied to other graphical programs.

Haha, your art did cross my mind when I was designing the mask. Thank you!

It was just a thing but it's turned into a project... Well, I know that there are people in it who live in a forest and wear masks and build cairns. And I've named the character and given him a family, and an actual face... so there's no turning back now. :D

'It' was kind of a slip of the tongue, sorry :-[
Although in my (quite weak) defence my first thought when I saw it was "cyborg!", although that's probably because I've been reading a lot of cyberpunk fiction recently. Although I guess cyborgs don't usually show up in leafy glades. And also can have genders anyway.

It's okay, I myself wasn't offended. Also in your defense, some people do use the pronoun 'it', so hey... ::)

I've never actually played Journey, sadly, due to a lack of a proper console. (I'm hoping that it'll eventually get ported to the Vita.)

looks pretty good to me :D . Maybe the only think I can find that's off is a lack of depth, the background seems a bit mushed too close to the foreground and draws attention from the character. It's not as strong in the wider shot tho, where there's space for the eye to breathe (yes, eyes do that). But yes, if I have anything to suggest, it'd be to put more emphasis where you want the viewer to look, possibly by toning down the forest a little, or lighting the character a little more (the leaves seem to get more light than her?). Not sure my propsed solution is right, tho: I couldn't do something half as good-looking if my life depended on it ;)

The lantern is actually invisible!...
In all seriousness though, thank you for your wonderful critique!
For the background, I was planning on blurring it once I've finished adding the leaves and tree bark details, though I might not do the latter since it might detract the viewers attention from the foreground. I whole-heartedly agree on the lighting part though; there was something off about it and you've nailed it. I've just increased the amount of light on Ymma (the character) and it's looking better already!
Thanks again for the critique :D❤

Thanks! Oh and, that eye-thing is actually on purpose :D He's supposed to be some kind of god or a greater spirit or something to that effect(usually found wandering around various deserts around the world), so his eyes are kinda glowing, and I decided he either has reeeeeaaally light pupils or no pupils at all.

I really like your style a lot! It reminds me somehow of gothic and some other kind of dark elements rolled all together in one. Is he a character for a story you're working on? Also, I like the transparent cloak ;D (it's not a permanent thing, is it? o.o)

Waahhh, thank youu! Well it's not exactly a story, like, I don't usually write stories but sometimes a snippet or a very specific scene of what could be a part of a story of some kind comes into my mind and then I have to draw it :D Now it was an image of this guy emerging from a thick fog, walking across a lake or pond or something(actually walking on the water because you know, god). So then I sketched that, got caught up in what his face should look like, made another sketch with only his face, sketch got out of control and that was the result :D and I still can't decide whether I like his hair like that, in dreadlocks, or curly...I shall have to experiment more :D
Oh and don't worry, while the cloak IS transparent and going to stay that way, he does have actual clothing under that, I was just too lazy to draw it :D

These look really interesting (great tattoos!), what's the general world about? :)It's actually got several components, but these particular drawings are from the Marshes, hence the weaving incorporated into their clothing and armor, and the girded loins: the men are actually wearing long skirts, which they hike up when working in the water.
The tattoos are actually warpaint: Red has a special significance in their culture.

I've always been drawing a lot, but after I started studying at uni the amount dwindled for each year. SSSS and this lovely forum rekindled my passion and I have drawn more in the last 6 months than I did for several years before :D It has mostly been ssss fanart since then, but recently I've started doing original art as well as for other fandoms. I'm kind of struggling to find a nice and consistent style xC
Here's my two most recent drawings :)

I need to change so the school became a japanese international school with many exchange students and so on.
I don't think I could even start a full story comic with it, and sometimes I loose interest on that, but I enjoy doing many random one-page comics with them like this:

Jesus christ Martti,m that's some serious improvement!
SEVEN YEARS..... some people does this in few month, so it is not that big deal.....
every time i switched to new fandom, I tried to change style similar to the fandom's original artist's art in anyway, which made a huge help for me to develop improvements, also around 2010, my friend helped me to learn a lot about drawing anatomy, even it was horrible, but it got was better anatomically. in 2012, I got sai, which made me a HUGE improvement either, in the last one year, I tried to copy many styles, which made me help to change and make my style better. (sometimes other fanartists style, friend's help and style and so on)
also I drew every day since 2006

Ugh, I'm jealous of that shading. It always killed me in art class. Nice work! :)

That looks really neat (and contradicts very nicely with everything I remember of the Moomin series growing up). I love the play of the light on the floor especially. :)

@AuthorOfLight A tutorial in perspective would definitely be great! I can draw foreshortening well enough but my perspectives almost never look that good :(
Post by: Curry on June 21, 2015, 10:18:45 AM
Whatever, reallybut I have trouble with shading and perspective if anyone can help with that
ooh yes shading I can help with that!
And how would the tutorial to be delivered? Pre-rendered video? Livestream? Or just the regular text based tutorial with screenshots?I would think that it would be up to the tutorial-maker. I've done some stuff in livestreams (I remember a leg breakdown for heart in one of mine) but I didn't save or record it and I'm pretty sure that I would end up preferring to do the tex and screenshot style most.

And human souls look like humans, anything swooshy looking is a malicious spirit.(which tend to go after unhosted human souls. souls hosted in a body not their own don't have as strong as an attachment, so theres that)

I started doing backgrounds again and playing around with brushes. Gokudera from KHR (can we post other fandoms here?):
(http://orig09.deviantart.net/ac57/f/2015/168/5/b/gokudera_explosion_3_kopiera_by_aquaaurion-d8xna6p.png)
I say why not? I wouldn't want to miss seeing good art! I've been to comment on your art, but the thread was moving way too fast haha.
First things first, I'm happy to see someone familiar with KHR. Hardly a favorite, but I liked the concept a lot.
For someone who hasn't really done BG for a long it looks quite good! I really liked what you did with the flames! All of those details makes the fire look epic *v* If there's one thing I think you could improve on it's the lighting; Gokudera seems very close to the flames, so I believe that orange lighting on him should be stronger.
Overall, I really like it :D

my spam......I basically had a really old comic I started in 2008, I totally changed a lot about it many new characters were added in 2011. I actually started writing the main story twice, of course it was a huge failure in art.This looks really interesting :D I love the diversity you have with the characters!
I was huge japanese fan, so all the characters were japanese in 2008, when I started, and later I gout totally out of this and become so nordic fan, the new characters basically finnish, swedish, norwegian, but also some other characters are from other countries appears here. I need to change so the school became a japanese international school with many exchange students and so on.
I don't think I could even start a full story comic with it, and sometimes I loose interest on that, but I enjoy doing many random one-page comics with them like this:

(brownhaired is Jacques Wilson Francois, the finnish one is Mikaela Suomalainen, the other blonde is Kristian Thomassen)
and I never could continue the started comics because of the huge improvements and/or style changes after a long breakSpoiler: show

have all the characters in spoiler:Spoiler: show

KHR (manga version) is one of my favorites, despite the weaker moments it had :) I've been neglecting it since it ended though. I was so angry about the ending back then, but now that I re-read it I thought it was a lot better.
For the flames I actually went through all of the brushes that comes with ps elements 8 trying to find a nice one ^w^ I can totally see what you mean with the lightning. I had intended for the explosion to be a little further back, but I failed with that :P I actually thought of adding more shades to his face as well since it ended up being closer.
I like how you have worked with the colors in the three profile pictures! I'm rather bad at colors and ligthning in that way, but I didn't even reflect on the character having different skin tones at first (it reminds me of how Minna changes the chapter colors in such a natural way).
I like the headshots of your characters, they seem very full of life :) Are they from a story of yours?

Was the ending really bad? I've fall out of the fandom long before the Tenma arc (did I get it right?) ended so I have no clue. Now you've made me curious *adds to her long list of things to read*

Now you've made me curious *adds to her long list of things to read*At that point I thought so. I had been following it for years and it felt as if the author tried to wrap it up too quickly. Now that I've read it again I think the ending was okay. Tenma arc rings no bells for me xD

I've always liked dragons, monsters and fantasy-related creatures, but after the Inheritance-series I was obsessed with dragons. I vary between cartoon-like and more realistic dragons, and often make them less "traditional" and just more like... general monsters? Here's one that's less cartoony, anyways. And a more "traditional" dragon.

I can't draw them //cries in the corner//
I made an OC with a dragon creator and it's this one:

Japan! Have I mentioned yet that I love your watercolors? The effect is just so nice and smooth, and almost soothing to look at. :)
ohohohoh the dragons are beautiful ;w;

Just do what I do and give them no legs! Then all you need to draw is a snake with wings :P I like the patterns and designs on Ignis, and he seems to be a young, confident sort of dragon. Cool!

IT'S PINEY'S BIRTHDAY TODAY and I had this cutie waiting in my tumblr queue all week for this

I know nothing about this OC but I love him already
(hap birthday piney!!)
oh and my family members made me draw them - my grandmother and my cousin. I mean I tried but they didn't sit still, so it's not my fault it doesn't really look like them.

hello everyone, your art is super great so blanket appreciation from me! aND I FINALLY HAVE SOME FRESH THIngS TO poST HEREI really love these! I don't think I've seen you work in such a realistic style before.

both were drawn after photos, and look a lot more like they're supposed to - you only have my word on that but you trust me, right? Man on the left was someone in a newspaper, and the woman on the left is my late norwegian grandmother.
and then there was the time I was drawing a snake:

WHICH I THINK TURNED OUT PRETTY WELL, except I had a lot of breakdowns on the way. Not because drawing was hard, but because I kept thinking about how snakes don't have any limbs, they're just a head with a tail?? or a really long neck?? HOW DID THEY BECOME LIKE THIS

Feartheviolas: That's really cute! It looks like the beginning of a comic ("Fear's adventures in Japan, Part 1").
Oooooohh! Ideas! I was actually thinking of doing some sort of stuff like that. I'm finally figuring out my own style of drawing people after refusing to draw them for so long. I find that I kind of like it a lot more than I thought I would. I'll put more stuff here as that progresses.
Until then, more Japan watercolour:

I read something that said that early snakes burrowed, so maybe the legs would catch on tunnel-walls and make them slower?Snakes losing (most of) their legs due to a burrowing lifestyle has been a long-standing, favorite theory, but not the only one. However, recent findings (http://esciencenews.com/articles/2015/05/20/what.did.first.snakes.look) make the alternative theories appear less likely than ever.

I think it's like with a cat. You just have to sit there quietly, acting like you're not interested, and pretty soon... "mjäääääv" it comes brushing up against your legs.

I made everything you see there in 3D Studio Max and Photoshop, after which I imported the models and textures into UDK (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unreal_Engine#Unreal_Engine_3) and set up materials, lighting, model placement, etc.

That F-16 is a model I built at the office, but it's loaded inside of Unreal 4 with a custom hangar environment that I'm not quite finished with yet. I don't know if anyone here is interested in military vehicles, but I've got quite a lot of them in my art library.
Post by: Sunflower on July 02, 2015, 05:07:33 PM
I worked on Command & Conquer: Renegade in 2002. After that, I took a break and went to college to study game design. The games I make are now for the US Army, so most of it isn't stuff I can talk about here. But we are making side-projects in our spare time, like a Smash Brothers inspired game for PC using Unity 5. When the concepting is finished and I start building the environments for it, I'll be sure to update this thread.

That F-16 is a model I built at the office, but it's loaded inside of Unreal 4 with a custom hangar environment that I'm not quite finished with yet. I don't know if anyone here is interested in military vehicles, but I've got quite a lot of them in my art library.
Ah ha ha, wait till you hear from all the military vehicle enthusiasts here. (I'm not necessarily one of them, but I am interested in logistics and anything that helps provide some real-world parallels for SSSS.)
You've already seen the military, aerospace, and 3D modeling threads, but are you familiar with the Cattank thread? https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=103.0 And probably anyone who's speculated about the Fall of Kastrup (with all those Danish mega-mechas) is going to look up alertly when you share some models...

I worked on Command & Conquer: Renegade in 2002. After that, I took a break and went to college to study game design. The games I make are now for the US Army, so most of it isn't stuff I can talk about here. But we are making side-projects in our spare time, like a Smash Brothers inspired game for PC using Unity 5. When the concepting is finished and I start building the environments for it, I'll be sure to update this thread.

You worked at Westwood Studios? Wow. What did you do for C&C Renegade?
Nice render, by the way - I almost mistook it for an actual photo. I'm interested to see your other work.

That's cool to hear! I was concerned that I'd have a large backlog of models that I couldn't post here due to lack of interest. :)
>You've already seen the military, aerospace, and 3D modeling threads, but are you familiar with the Cattank thread?
I went in expecting more pictures and diagrams and left disappointed. ;-)
>And probably anyone who's speculated about the Fall of Kastrup (with all those Danish mega-mechas) is going to look up alertly when you share some models...
The Danish tank in the vehicle bay that stood like two stories high looks like something that would be interesting to model, provided it had some additional views to work from.
>You worked at Westwood Studios? What did you do for C&C Renegade?
I worked with Westwood on Renegade when I created the multiplayer map Glacier Flying. I also worked on the total conversion project called Red Alert: A Path Beyond, and occasionally help out with C&C: Reborn (the Tiberian Sun conversion) and my own rendition of the first C&C in UE4 (https://secure.w3dhub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=415175).
>synæsthesia, those are hecka cool O:
Thanks! :) I'm still working on Multiversalink's vehicle texture, so hopefully I can add that up here soon.

how aboutdon't say unicorns don't say unicorns don't say unicorns...someone's OC or something. or a redraw of some old art of yours!
Haiz, it's kind of funny that you should (not) request unicorns, since a unicorn is actually the family crest. So I drew one with one of our family ghosts, Lady Catherine or "The Gray Lady," who starved herself to death when she was sixteen over a stable boy.as for art requests, anything lotr/the hobbit would be cool but whatever really

Pretty! Also, the Unreal engine is definitely "Unreal", my dad was showing me some new released images on Reddit (maybe?) and the first couple I saw tricked me into thinking they were photos! ;)
Post by: Synæsthesia on July 03, 2015, 01:57:12 PM
There's no shame in that!
Most of the work I do is something someone already did prior to my arrival. That concept is a jungle rainforest in Brazil that I painted based on an image I found on GIS. The F-16C is obviously owned by General Dynamics. :) The quality of the work is more important than the originality of it, I think. Otherwise webcomics like this would be dismissed as Yet Another Post-Apocalypse Scenario.
>Also, the Unreal engine is definitely "Unreal", my dad was showing me some new released images on Reddit (maybe?) and the first couple I saw tricked me into thinking they were photos!
UE4 uses Physically-Based Rendering (PBR) which vastly improves the way game art looks. PBR emulates the way light actually works, so it's easier for good artists to produce photorealistic results. It's simply a beautiful art form.

One of many to come - I should be able to quickly finish off the Nordic Council logo with this base mesh. Took me a few hours to get it built up and renderable. This is a ~200,000 polygon model that's perfect for 3D printing.
If you're curious, it was rendered in Quixel Suite. If Minna wants to collaborate with me, I don't mind posting it up on Shapeways when it's finished so it can be sold as a pin, necklace, etc. The great thing about this design is that it can be broken into component flags or kept as a snowflake.

Here's a picture of early Cleansers in action, though it's not fanart -- it was painted in 1893 by Finnish artist Eero Järnefelt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eero_J%C3%A4rnefelt)(a good friend of composer Jean Sibelius and painter Akseli Gallen-Kallela, who made creepily intense illustrations of Kalevala scenes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akseli_Gallen-Kallela#mediaviewer/File:Gallen_Kallela_Lemminkainens_Mother.jpg)).
(http://www.museumsyndicate.com/images/4/31473.jpg)
This painting has two titles: "Burning the Brushwood" (before planting) or "Under the Yoke." I'm told the little girl staring at us has a belly bloated with starvation.
I'm a little late to the party but...
Wow, that is an intense painting. The colors are beautiful, the scene is quite the contrast, and the expression is certainly haunting. Thanks for sharing....I had never seen it before.

I have not been drawing nearly as much as I should be, but here's a portrait of my cousin. (Isn't she pretty? I wasn't really able to do her justice, but overall I'm happy with how it turned out.)Good job! The proportions are really nice, and that's always so difficult to do properly. :)

"I really really how that face looks on her... I must immortalize it!" <-- My thought process
Parts of it were particularly hard, like the hands, but I didn't put as much effort into the bottom half of her body anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oh, and my tablet pen conked out before I could finish this, so all the coloring was done with my finger, freckles included. The line editing/smoothing/cleanup/whatever was also done with the trackpad, and ow my fingers.

Heh, it's not your fault, I do it too :P Sketching and erasing a hand a million times because of anatomy problems is just a lot easier for me on the computer. (but like for this one, I didn't want to try to hard and add too much detail that wasn't there. And also I already struggle with drawing hands holding things)

Hooo. There's no such thing as a quick paint is there? But seriously, both the art and the design on this are just really darn good. Actually, the design coupled with the backstory reminds me of the Asuras (http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080706000754/megamitensei/images/a/ad/AsuraSMT.jpg)(or wrathful demigods) of Indian mythology.

This time it's Corundum, a fusion between m-ew's oc Sunstone and my orange cat's eye (http://i.imgur.com/91wcgqb.jpg?1) :0 They're a very confident gem with (obviously) lots of good looks, but they really aren't the strongest or most skilled fighter. Hey at least Sunstone's arms are really muscular right?? Just punch it, it's the same difference

previously i sucked at doing any kind of a background, now i think I suck a little less :D tho I still don't know what to put on the background of a portrait. What does one put on the background of some random person's face? I just don't know. Oh well.
Also, more is coming, I'm intending to redraw a thing I drew for a friend some years ago, here's that thing(btw goes perfectly with the recent pics of people with lots of arms, Curry, those are awesome as hell):

what was he like as a kid?? i mean from what i've seen of him he already is a kid. but like. kid.
does anybody know he has powers?????
why is he a superhero when there are no superheroes around
i bet he was inspired by comic books
"he doesn't really need a costume"
hmmmmmmmm
hmmmmmm
hm
is having white hair common or just no one bats an eye
(unless he just has really fair hair)
okay, slightly excited babbling done, heres the art thingy
and since i need to have two versions of everything, here goes.
i guess he's seeing something that needs superheroing right now

heres the "fireaplaca has no texture brushes but i tried" version

His powers weren't fully-fledged yet, if that's what you mean.

His dad does. (outside of random people who learn throughout the course of the story)

I can't answer that question because of backstory reasons :-X

She has magic and can fly around all the floating islands in Thren. That existed in ancient times. Maybe a little rarer later.
Then I have some random heads, and the guy in the helmet (right side) is another main character, except in this picture he is two because he has the expression of the first main character and the facial build of the second main character and they want to be brothers soooo much they just have to meld into each and drive me crazy because I always seem to end up drawing the one I wasn't trying to draw! I should draw some real pictures of them because they're basically the MAINEST characters in my entire storyworld universe! Yeah, I guess I'll be up late now.

oh well it was a doodle anyway

So this long haired bishounen is a character from this webcomic called Hemlock, which I just recently read in one sitting. Don't let the gentle exterior fool ya, this guy's kinda nasty. And awesome, I mean come OOON his name is Simo(named after Simo Häyhä) and he's a goddamned witch king and his hair is so long and I love drawing it did I mention I love drawing long hair so SO much and it's actually supposed to have drops of dew in the hair but I was too lazy

I'm curious.
I was unsure where to post this, but there's been an idea bouncing around my head for a very long time now, and I'd like to see if anybody is interested. The idea is for a project commonly known as The Exquisite Beast. The first iteration of it I've found is by the amazing Evan Dahm and his friend Yuko Ata. The concept is that two people collaborate, taking turns "evolving" a creature to suit various habitats, slowly transforming it in strange ways while keeping previous incarnations in mind. You can find their version of the project here (scroll to the bottom): http://exquisitebeast.tumblr.com/page/11 (http://exquisitebeast.tumblr.com/page/11)
So I wonder - would anybody be interested in trying this out with me? I'd like to get back into drawing more, and fantastic creatures is one of the areas I'd consider a forte of mine. I'm just uncertain if I should make this into an event, or how many people to involve, or what... I'm not that great at organizing, honestly. So, uh, ideas?

I think it would be interesting to draw at least one monster, I could probably use the practice for it. Dragons are the most monstrous things I ever draw.
Sumeri: Your doodle succeeded because it is shiny. I like the watery light. And the colors. And the subtle cheekbone shading.
The long hair doodle, even in a simple doodle your hair turns out really well. I can sense the weight of it.

i for one genuinely like your art? but maybe i dont count since im weirdo art history student that goes !!! at pretty much all art ever, but hey you're 13 and your art is evolving at rapid speed and holy heck you're drawing backgrounds. and shading!! I like your use of colours, but on the background the red is clashing a bit with your character, so it might be an idea to colour your backgrounds less intrusively maybe.
(http://i.imgur.com/NSC4p7U.png)I don't DA but I really appreciate your muchaing. the ornaments are SO PRETTY and the character looks rly rly cool!!!
I hAVE ARTS TOO HELLO
m'not sure if you remember that Moldavite gemsona I drew a while back, but I realized I don't have a gemsona based on myself, and... I think I'd be Moldavite. so I haizified the design a little:

I mean they don't look quite like me but I don't want a magesona: gem edition, but an independent character on its own.
and I'm maybe joining Curry in their current gem fusion drawing hell, or at least joining a ride for a fusion between Moldavite and Curry's Serendibite. This is not the final design since it's only my version so far, but here's Maw Sit Sit the hippie gem:

Alright so I said this isn't done but I dunno, I'm not quite sure how to continue. Maybe I'll leave it like that, this is supposed to be a learning experience anyway :D Painting landscapes is turning out to be quite fun, even tho I don't always know what the heck is it I'm trying to do
Also, I seem to have developed a weird obsession for caves and stones. And purple.

Some people in the chat have seen this earlier. I'm just going to post it here, too, for your viewing pleasure...
WIP shot. It still isn't finished. Maybe after mural, birthday presents, trade off, and commission are done, I will get back to it... *this ninja has a bad habit of overworking on unnecessary things during holidays*

i for one genuinely like your art? but maybe i dont count since im weirdo art history student that goes !!! at pretty much all art ever, but hey you're 13 and your art is evolving at rapid speed and holy heck you're drawing backgrounds. and shading!! I like your use of colours, but on the background the red is clashing a bit with your character, so it might be an idea to colour your backgrounds less intrusively maybe.
haha i just like drawing backgrounds i guess(i know that sentiment is not echoed by many) but its less fun when you look back and realize you hecked up n the coloring
and yeah sorry about clashing colors my laptop is on lowest brightness all the time and i dont have a very good grasp of this "color theory" thing anyway
and yeah i guess i dont hate it right now but im getting these feelings really strongly while drawing and then they dissapate like an hour after and i hate everything
KicknRun: "I'm not dangerous." Yup, I totally believe her. She feels like a very alive character.

Soooo...
I'm curious.
I was unsure where to post this, but there's been an idea bouncing around my head for a very long time now, and I'd like to see if anybody is interested. The idea is for a project commonly known as The Exquisite Beast. The first iteration of it I've found is by the amazing Evan Dahm and his friend Yuko Ata. The concept is that two people collaborate, taking turns "evolving" a creature to suit various habitats, slowly transforming it in strange ways while keeping previous incarnations in mind. You can find their version of the project here (scroll to the bottom): http://exquisitebeast.tumblr.com/page/11 (http://exquisitebeast.tumblr.com/page/11)
So I wonder - would anybody be interested in trying this out with me? I'd like to get back into drawing more, and fantastic creatures is one of the areas I'd consider a forte of mine. I'm just uncertain if I should make this into an event, or how many people to involve, or what... I'm not that great at organizing, honestly. So, uh, ideas?
Yes
YES
SO VERY MUCH YES
PLEASE PICK MEEEEEEeeeeee
I'd like to see it start out as a normal (meaning currently existing) animal, and then morph into something else. But I'm up for anything! LITERALLY ANYTHING

you can leave smaller images, which makes it easier to load for people reading on tablet. People still can enlargen your image by right clicking and showing the full image.
so this one can be sized by the number 300 to that:

Aha, I'm not sure about the cool flat coloring as you put it, but they don't have any special technique for lineart - they do use Sai which has inherently good lineart capabilities, but their drawings and lines are naturally just that clean and smooth :0 you should see their contour drawings, they're amazing
Post by: Jethan on August 08, 2015, 05:01:34 PM
I like your colors and lineart and how it all meshes together. I really like the colors. You're doing a great job.
I will also add that recently I drew a picture (copying from a photo) that I wanted to draw except I really did not want to draw it and sometimes I would sit down to start working on it and I would just sit there and look at it for several minutes until I could figure out how to keep going. It was really hard. I also recall Minna saying sometimes that she felt her art was awful while drawing it but once it was finished she thought it worked out, at least enough to be okay. So I guess feelings of "This art is awful, I hate it!" and "I really don't want to work on this!" tend to come up in the process.
I really want to get his story drawn, I really, really want to get his story drawn.
Callipygous: Tristan accepts your godparenthood.

He is supremely excited because he is a poor, lonely, little orphan. He needs a friend.
And your art, swirly, shiny hair and snazzy boots. Also, the hood with the teeth? on it...? I feel like he's pretending to be a shark...
Latent Leprechaun: Mysterious guy with a sword, he's definitely on an adventure. I like the shading in both pics. And swirly architectural details and borders? So much fun to draw!
Now I've got to find a way to get Tristan's story actually started. Off to draw!

An experiment of sorts - I took an old book illustration, scanned it and tried to colour it with the help of a bazillion Multiply layers in Photoshop:

AHAHA CURRY HAS IT QUITE RIGHT i really dont think i do anything too super special with my lineart;; the only thing that may be different is the sheer amount of time it takes me -- im super picky with my lines so ill undo and draw a line over and over again until i have it exactly right LMAO i made a short lineart tut a while back but it was incredibly unhelpful - i think the only way for me to really explain would be a stream AHA;; coloring, though, if you elaborate a bit id be happy to try my hand at one :^0 and, thank you very much trinka!!Dern it all, there is so secret to clean lines except the obvious: be picky and take forever `•~•`
And by "cool flat colors", I mean that you don't really use much shading, but it always looks so cool and natural anyways. Like on the clothing, you draw lines, but no shading is needed. And your colors always work so well together, you have a great sense of color theory! When you do use shading, its always so simple and lovely, like in your hair or eyes. If we could get a tutorial on that, I'd be SO HAPPY. And of what I've heard, using "varying line thickness " is the norm in manga drawing, but all your lines appear to be the same thickness, but your pictures don't look stale and lifeless. :3

I also did a weird soul-searching thing kind of very inspired by the movie Inside Out. Instead of drawing my 'Headquarters' and what my emotions would look like, I drew aspects of my personality as the four elements. ok whatever you say haiz

It makes the whole picture seem so much more mysterious, like the Mona Lisa: what is she smiling about? And the hair looks like a veil, or a sultry silk. It all feels very mysterious, with a seductive undertone.

These are a BUT LOAD of pictures I drew in the margins of a notebook I used for one class. I had this weird thing going on where I was OBSESSED with profile views for a whole semester, so quite a few doodles happened. Aliens, fantasy, and historical nonsense ensued.

Have an old will-never-bee-finished-this is 12 years since I began and I've painted about one feather every second year so well. I dug out my watercolors for the art swap project and came upon this. Still don't think it will ever be finished though. The upper right corner is a lot more fun to work on and have received lots more attention than the left side of the painting!

wanna see my newest and cutest oc GOOD NEWS IM SHOWING HIM ANYWAYSI like the colours and the quality of the linework, but here's a little comment, if you don't mind. The head bugs me for some reason - even though the proportions seem all right, it still looks a bit too small for the body. I suppose it's just my eyes and my lack of knowledge on proportions, though. Nevertheless, nice work!

Whoa! Those buildings are really good, and the perspective. I really like the first building through the tree, and inside the ship (I'm guessing it's a hallway inside a ship). Really good sketches.

:OThank you, but here's a thing about the perspective - it's actually horrible in many of these pictures.
*Tries to collect her jaw*

Ahhh this is so pretty! I really like when artist shows their improvement! :D
For example, look at this sketch (http://i.imgur.com/qmIGxok.jpg). The vertical lines here are incredibly skewed (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=2143578&d=1439922182), especially in the right part of the picture. That's because I didn't have a straight edge with me to correct my angles back then.
Spoiler: Compare it with this - I fixed the perspective a bit with gratuitous abuse of Photoshop and its Free Transform tool. Much better, but still not perfect. • show

Sharion: Thanks! I'm not sure when it will be complete, but it's something I'm working on every now and then, so... sometime.
Mélusine: Yup! A chiaroscuro indeed. It's a method of painting I love to use, because it gets really striking results almost immediately.
Sumeri: Thanks!

Chiaroscuro fascinate me since I'm a child, we saw some Georges de la Tour painting in a museum, and I have wonderful memories of lessons on Caravaggio at university.

Luth Nightbreeze: Think that's carried away? This thing here (http://lennythynn.deviantart.com/art/The-King-and-His-Court-418187075) has at a rough estimate 14 metres of that.

BREAKING NEWS i have my art published in a zine!! It's called Føniks (http://feministiskforum.no/foniks/) (link in norwegian sorry) and made by Feministisk Forum, a student group which my oslo-dwelling friend is part of.

BREAKING NEWS i have my art published in a zine!! It's called Føniks (http://feministiskforum.no/foniks/) (link in norwegian sorry) and made by Feministisk Forum, a student group which my oslo-dwelling friend is part of. This particular issue was about religion, and the article I was asked to illustrate was about an ancient goddess and stuff.

would be even better if I could read the article, but the illustrations are super-duper great so it's already perfect! (plus now you're famous-er)
Post by: Haiz on August 31, 2015, 05:53:34 PM
today, I meant to draw something else but then I accidentally stumbled over my own narcissism and did a couple self-portraits in Minna's style! TRIED to do them in Minna's style, that is. I didn't put too much effort in clean lines and getting the watercolour effect. but it was really fun to do!

Um. Maybe a little redder, and less fading-out-y? Like, it should still be pretty bright at the edge of the frame, instead of going all the way to black.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I love that art. The lighting of the sun against the planet, the crescent moon, the space station/ship in the distance, the colors that look awesome and such a stillness to it that could lead to all sorts of moods...
This is going to be an epic sci-fi comic, right? With lots of planet shots?

I like the realism of your sketches. Like it's easily transitioned to photorealistic. I really like the spaceships, I can imagine them moving around and making noises (assuming some atmosphere is present.)
And starships...You're both making me want to work on my space story. I am hopelessly doomed from making stories by getting distracted by everyone else's stories whose genres I want to bounce back and forth with. Does anyone have secrets for multitasking on three different stories at the same time?

Actually yeah the fade to black might be the worst offender, going to try a fade to grayish-orange.

Yes, this might become a sci-fi comic somedaytm but for now it's just me worldbuilding.

Post by: mithrysc on September 04, 2015, 01:38:05 PM
So I drew this thing (mostly because Piney's mask characters reminded me of my own mask character and reminded me that I love him). Also because I needed to practice shading and also because I need to practice drawing people in relation to backgrounds. I drew it on a photo a friend gave me because a.)he said I should try drawing something on top of a photo!!! b.) I didn't have time to draw my own bg.Spoiler: show
I have a Heron also! (it was originally just his working name so I'd have something other to call him than "twin brother" but maybe it'll stick)
Spoiler: Other Heron • show
I've barely drawn anything of him or his world, though...
Also I've been having fun with color pencils lately.

Another mask guy, yay! The colors of the characters go really well with the colors of the photo.

I already told you this is brilliant but nothing's gonna stop me from repeating myself, this is brilliant, an under sea unicorn! :D
My merpersona is a whale shark. :P And because I like to paint several pictures at a same time so I can paint while I wait for other paintings to dry, several merpersona paintings happened.

What could you have been if it wasn't a narwhal ? ^^ I really like the tiny details, the necklace, the fascination for watches, the tattoo.eee thank you! the other options I considered before I was made aware of narwhals were: jellyfish, sea pancake/stingray, or some actual colourful fish because colourssss. I do think it's healthy for me to limit my pallette because otherwise it'll end up like my (http://40.media.tumblr.com/f8e6058f1841ada5061eaf9e091e2032/tumblr_n0a3u2G0UT1r6soqlo1_1280.jpg) witchsona (http://41.media.tumblr.com/1ce2b9e7bf398e8ef0dc66a99c0c99cf/tumblr_nkaqi0D4uf1r6soqlo1_1280.png). Jellyfish would've turned my sona wayy to elegant and pretty, and a stingray would've been too cool for me. Narwhals are just the right amount of dorky :3

Wait where did this mermaid sona thing come from? How do so many people know about it? What is going on?it's a tumblr thing! if you click the link in my post, that's the announcement. on tumblr there are many events such as this, like "witchsona week" or "gemsona week" and what have you. nothing official, just someone thinking it would be cool if everyone drew themself as a witch or a mermaid, and putting it in a designated tag!
Oop I forgot about mermaidsonas!! I'm gonna do that thing too! :0 Haiz that's super cool and Laufey, I'm going to be a shark too :D I'm torn between a bigeye thresher, marbled catshark, and a tiger shark, but I really have to get started on that, ehehe...hahaha it's on your blog I saw the announcement. join ussssss

mithrysc: your character. is so cool. i think i have a weakness for masked characters (even though i'm kind of terrified of masks in real life), a weakness for wanderer characters, and girls with swords...... plus your art is great, as always.
I also love everybody's mersonas. So many different...uh, species? And flowy underwater hair is the best.IT'S TRUE flowy underwater is so fun and most best.
i actually
doodles my mersona a little more

Lenny: Your speedpaints are so beautiful! I like how you do the lighting.
UFOO9000: I don't remember seeing your art before. You have a very nice style! :)
Viola: Like Piney said, this looks so much like traditional art! I can't believe it's digital! And the hair is so flowy!
Ana, RTR: Nice mersonas! You guys are very creative. I wanted to draw one too, but I took too long and now the mersona week is over...
mithrysc: I like the masked traveler girl so much! Your sketches look really nice.
Haiz: The expressions are so great! I really like characters with dark circles under their eyes for some reason... o_o

This is one of the characters in a comic I've been planning for years. Who is she? Why does he look so glum? What's up with that funky anatomy? Find out... someday... maybe...

This is so super cute. I don't even really know why, it just is. (I love the slightly creepy, mostly just cute faces). Your coloring is always so smooth and subtle and lovely.
Lenny: I like the subtle shading in the back. And they're so cute! I also want to say "fluffy," but that doesn't quite seem the right texture. I guess snow can be fluffy?
I also love everybody's mersonas. So many different...uh, species? And flowy underwater hair is the best.maybe I'll just keep ignoring my homework...
More sketches, meanwhile. Originally supposed to be figure practice, but then they all turned into the masked traveler girl.Spoiler: show

Haiz, I think the best thing about your mersona is that she looks exactly like you. XD
Also, I saw the Sparrow doodles on Tumblr (including the colored one) and I have to say I love her design! It's hard to draw people so thin and sallow without making it look like you just messed up, and you do a great job! She's really well drawn and I like her design a lot.
Aaand once again this thread has been filled with lots of beautiful art while I've been gone!

The mersona looking like me is kind of the point (PUN VERY MUCH INTENDED), so that makes me happy to hear! they are a 'they', though, not a she^^
same about Sparrow, actually - they're a 'they', a 'xe', or a 'he'. It's kind of amusing to me how many call them a she, because I'm seeing them as """biologically male""" (or amab), and have a tendency to call them 'he' in my mind, but forget how feminine they must look to everyone else.
sorry if this sounds rude or anything, I haven't been exactly clear on the gender identities of my characters and it's probably very confusing^^" I'm not offended or anything, I actually enjoy seeing what pronouns people use for my characters when they don't know. I think that the more feminine I draw a character, the bigger the chances are that they aren't actually girl. my characters are weird like that I guess

... Ah, I get it, unicorns. Reminds me of this (http://pre14.deviantart.net/b962/th/pre/i/2011/230/a/9/rainbow_narwhal_by_neoangelwink-d471sck.jpg)by the way.

Come to think of it, the whale shark was Haiz's idea. The responsibility is shared (albeit a bit weirdly)! ;D
I think it's appropriate. As opposed to starfish (despite the 'fish' part), whalesharks (despite the 'whale part') are actually something you could call a "weird fish".

*awkward mouth twitch*
Just for the record, in case anyone is keeping track, I am not the only one who remembers things that Laufey said in the past and then brings them up again.
And now for some random statistics
There are about 339 pieces of digital art
There are about 298 traditional drawings (this excludes paintings)
So given that this art museum has 604 arts in it currently, that means that 56% of this art museum is just digital drawings and 49% of it is traditional drawings. If you factored in paintings though, the divide is split pretty evenly between digital art and traditional art.
What sorts of things do we like to make art of? Well... mostly people. More than half of the art in this museum is art of people. There are about 360 arts containing people which means that about 60% of the art museum is of people in some way or forum. The rest is divided up into things such as imaginary creatures, scenes and landscapes, real animals, and abstract images.
And now because some of you are most certainly wondering, this art museum contains 129 Haiz arts, making it 21% Haiz.
Thus concludes the most recent statistics report for the general art museum.

The only mistake I can see is that the right earring might be defying gravity with that inclination angle.not the earring, the earring could stand like this, I have this earring, it is long and can stuck to the shoulder so it can look like it is flying like that (maybe shadow of it on the shoulder would fix that)
Otherwise it looks pretty good.

Jethan: lovely sketches! You have a very cool style and nice flow! you have a tendency to draw very similar face shapes though, if you ever want OCs that are easier to distinguish from one another, maybe you could try some variation on that front? :3c
mithrysc: aaaaaaah!! love them. that cloak makes perfect sense to me except maybe the lacking backside that I guess would be visible between the legs
Piney: nice progress!
speaking of drawing the pines kids, I've improved a lot since my first Mabel. you see, our dear SectoBoss has written a Gravity Falls roaring 20s AU (http://archiveofourown.org/works/4818299/chapters/11031890), and Mabel has gold teeth instead of braces and I just had to draw that ok

Sorry if that sounds kind of furious but a lot of my friends have been harassed/bullied with very similar phrases in the past so I'm rather combative about things like that

Wow. Mad skills and hard work there, Piney!

The skin! The hair! Those eyes!!! *Moves Piney even higher up the list of peoples' skills to learn with dark magic*
Thank you!! (*≧v≦*)
I am rather proud of the eyes... they're better than any I've done in a traditional painting :P

I drew some blogs as unicorns for my tumblr giveaway
Spoiler: unicorns • show
and yesterday I decided to treat myself for no good reason at all and bought a couple micron pens. to break them in i drew a bunch of paranatural fanart. I've never drawn paranatural fanart before, and it's way harder for me than ssss fanart õ_õ might be because my style is closer to Minna's than to Zack Morrison's. or maybe that's just wishful thinking and I've just drawn a looooooooot of ssss fanart

Yeah, so I'm not sure whether to put this in an art thread or the art commission thread, but for the sake of keeping all the commission posts clutter-free and accessible, I'm going to try posting it here. I have a friend who needs a piece of art for one of her fanfictions because her usual artist is unavailable, and I told her I might be able to find someone. I don't know the details of the commission, but I do believe it's a Batman AU fic that she wrote. If anyone would be interested, PM me and I'll get you in touch with her so you can sort out the details!
All right, that is all ^-^ Carry on with your beautiful arting!

The mask-person looks great, and the bruises are really realistic, especially compared with more comic-y style of your art.

Thanks mithrysc.
In order to make your doodles visible you can make them smaller. People can enlargen them by clicking them. It works like this:
[img width=xxx] => xxx being a number according to the size you want. I prefer viewing pictures at a width between 150 and 600 pixels.
Lenny gave a very good tutorial here (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=429.0)
smaller size is easier to access from mobile devices ;)

Speaking of, I chose to do a study of van Gogh's 'Vase with Pink Roses' as a part of my art coursework and coincidentally it was done in dipping pen and india ink. Because of that and because it took me a couple hours than a normal A4 sized piece would, I thought I may as well post it here.

This one really, really intrigues me *-*
My entire thought process for this creature:
"Keys are nice."
"Antlers are nice."
"Hey, antlers can be used like hooks for hanging things."
Haaaaa, it's been a long time ! :D
Somehow I find it really strange that it's been a year, and that I was the only person on the forum doing inktober then...
And Viola and Haiz, thank you!

I admire your dedication with all that linework. *squints at her tiny inked pieces*
And since you asked: right now the contrast between the flowers and some of the leaves is a bit low, particularly around the three flowers that form a curving line near the middle of the piece, but nothing that a little more hatching can't solve.

Yepppp, I see what you mean. It was rather frustrating to try and translate a piece with so much colour into monotone, and a lot of it was experimental

I used to read Cucumber Quest, but I stopped when they had arrived at the Flower Kingdom. Maybe I should continue...
I used to read CQ too, but I also stopped there. The plot just got waaaay too hard for me to follow. (Also, I don't play videogames like Paper Mario, which I gather was a huge inspiration to the artist, so I was missing a lot of the art and story tropes she used.) (I also got a little tired of the whole Legendary Hero business and poor timid Cucumber being the Only Sane Man, especially compared to Nautilus and his sister.)
But I do think it's beautifully drawn, and the artist is skillful about working in some non-traditionally gendered characters, in a subtle and age-appropriate way.
And to get back to the original topic, I loved Haiz's take on the Cucumber Quest characters!

I actually had to stop following it about that time, as well, but there's a cohesive plot beyond the "usual" Legendary Hero thing. Things are starting to fall together and a lot of characters got a lot of development :D

This is a meme? .... What meme is it?
it's... a "draw your squad" type of meme from tumblr. Curry's done several with the SSSS team, and I think Starfallz did one too. This is the poison I picked (http://imagine-your-oc.tumblr.com/post/128187717960/imagine-your-ocs-like) (or rather, the poison someone picked for me. I did a mistake and asked "i wanna draw a fanart what fanart do i draw" and they. linked me. to a meme. and there was no way back and here i am)
also thank you everyone who commented! I read cucumber quest last week because i was in a place where i really needed that exact type of thing to soothe me, and I love it to bits and pieces and things made sense when I read it through, although I can see it could have been easy to fall off. that happens. I still have a bunch of webcomics I need to catch up on, soon, eventually,,,

I have started my calendar project for 2016! I've decided on a straight out unicorn theme because I'm not coming up with anything better. this means I'll have to be really creative to manage 12 unique and interesting unicorns! i'm thinking like desert unicorn, forest unicorn, sci-fi unicorn, etc. people on my facebook wall are already throwing unicorn ideas at me, it's great.
I started drawing the first page today, so here's a sketch preview :3c

She's summoning eldritch horrors because that's what paladins are supposed to when they really want to kill you, right?
Actually she's probably just terrible at the job.

Now that I used bright colors, I think there might be issues with how my copy of photoshop is displaying colors, this version seems considerably greyer than my working piece.

Thanks!
A paladin is an character archetype common in rpgs, both tabletop and digital. Putting it shortly, its basically a type of holy warrior ( holy as in affiliated to a religious order), specially trained to banish demons and the undead or, more generally, creatures or beings considered "evil".

Ohh ok because I googled paladin and I got this: https://paladinsecurity.com/
But what you said makes much more sense with the drawing :P

really nice composition, i like how the hand bleeds into the purple colours!!
A portrait study thing (???).ohhh, very nice! I think the only thing that seems "off" to me is that the face is a little too wide/almost triangular, but otherwise I spy some very good observational skills there!! keep up the good work : DSpoiler: Random photo from Google Image Search and hours of gratuitous colour picker abuse • show
I should note that I am asking for critiques, comments, etc on this one and other pics - I still can't find out where I'm making mistakes.
greetings from undertale hell!! this is where I've spent the weekend so far

Wow! That looks awesome, and I for one am always a sucker for epic space-battle type things. The only thing that I could think of that might be missing is some stars. I can see a couple if I zoom in really close, but they don't translate well when viewing the piece as a whole. But that's all I could think of, and it already looks fantastic anyway!

Yes, it breaks up the inky blackness a bit now. And yes, you're allowed a bit of artistic license when depicting epic space battles :P Have I mentioned it looks amazing? I don't think I've said that enough yet...

Well, he looks vert androgynous and very young (I would give him between 12-14, just beginning to turn into a young man). Based on the physiognomy alone he could be either a young man or a young woman with a potentially low voice.
In any case the art is sensitive and I like it. It really tells a story.
Oh, I just noticed his left eye is somewhat significantly smaller than his right. May or may not be worth a quick adjustment. ;)

It's actually a series of four drawings/paintings (what do you call them when they're digital??), and I used reference pictures for all of them. This one took maybe... two hours?? Some things are a bit wonky but the main point was to practice hands and light, which I definitely didOh, wow! The light looks amazing and I like the concept of the lightbulb glowing on it's own :D

He's supposed to be older than that - he's just rather feminine-looking. (I'm not saying his actual age because I don't want criticism and think it looks fine)
Also, I measured it and I don't think it's significant... They're the same size longways so the height is... dare I say not as important? I actually have eyes like this, where my right eye is noticeably narrower than my left. It used to be a lot rounder but it just wouldn't stop looking weird to me so I thinned it down.
((Sorry, I know you meant it well, I just tweaked those eyes a whole lot to get them how I wanted, but thank you!))

If you wonder, it's called a digital painting. :) The difference between drawing and painting is the thought process and visual language behind it: you create an image differently if you use lines to tell it than if you use gradients and flats (picture a three inches wide paintbrush versus a pencil... Can't use them in the same manner). Turns out the digital has tools that require both approaches. So the results are still drawings and paintings (and, you know, everything else possible).
Piney: I meant the corneal part of the eyes, not the entire eye shape. But no worry, I enjoy your character the way it is and my observations are purely informative and you have zero obligation to follow my advice. You do what you feel is right. :)

Oh, I had actually thought the opposite eye's cornea was too big - they used to be the same size but I had to enlarge so it would touch both eyelids... ._.

People often have one eye that opens more than the other! So unless it altered the expression you were looking for, a slightly more opened eyelid shouldn't be an issue. :D

We now have a specific thread for critiques and works in progress right here (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=691.0)! Please keep unfinished pieces and requests for art help to this thread. Sorry for the initial false alarm :)

And Piney, I loooove that portrait. Seriously. That expression is great, it's so innocent.
I actually drew this a couple weeks ago(as you can tell from the date), and kept forgetting to post it. Naturally, it looked better 2 weeks ago. Just a random girl, looking sad(?).

This is one of my few OC's that's not featured in my fantasy universe. He's actually set in our world. His last name is Hail.
I used him as an experiment to learn how to sculpt in Zbrush. He was the first sculpture I pushed to this level of detail. Actually he's the only one, I didn't use the hair on any sculpture afterward, haha.

Yeah, OC's!I don't know anything about 3d modelling besides messing around in SketchUp and failing to comprehend Maya's interface, but it looks very good.

Just how hard is sculpting anyway? Do you use your graphics tablet or just a mouse?
Post by: Smirty on October 31, 2015, 05:48:59 PM
If you are familiar with traditional sculpting I'd suggest using Sculptris. It's a free and highly simplified version of Zbrush, so it's very ergonomic and easy to get used to and it will give you a pretty good idea of how what digital sculpting is like.
I do use a graphic tablet in Zbrush however the mouse is more adequate in Maya because they are completely different work processes.
And if you're curious, this is what the interface looks like (with an earlier stage of my sculpt):

And this was my step zero, lol. I started this character from a box and had the eye ball done first: http://gallery.smirtouille.com/15/Zbrush.jpg

I don't know yet how much armor he'll be wearing. And this sculpt I would want to ultimately 3D print, so I won't be using any fancy hair modeling nor color nor anything.
This is how far I got tonight:

It's fine where it is, and this thread is usually not that active. I catalogue all the art that people post in it, and have been doing so for months. This is actually the most active it's been in a while, usually something shows up once every other day or so. Sometimes it goes a week, sometimes we get two posts a day. The only art thread that is consistently active every day is the SSSS art thread which usually grows about 2 pages a day. Feel free to post more things here though. It might get more lively.
Also thanks for keeping critiques to the critique thread :)

Yeah, it's there: http://ap.smirtouille.com/Webcomic/index.php
I started it in July this year. Horses and my pen have a long love story, haha. I'm happy to draw them through my comic, along with the rest.
Hey I just spent my entire night drawing these. This was bond to happen one of these days... xD Now I'll have to switch back around a normal sleep/wake time. Hopefully.
These are OC's. Embellishments for a two-handed fiction I've been writing with a friend.
I fought a long time with the first one until I felt like I had learned something and then wanted to apply it to three more eye portraits. *sigh. I should go to sleep now.

So I have a 2-year-old niece, and as a christmas present for her, I'm going to illustrate a couple of children's stories and make them into a book for her :D I'm intending this to be the front cover when it's finished(either this, aka red riding hood, or a similar thing with Scheherazade from one thousand and one nights), but now I'm just wondering whether I'm making the background a bit too dark for a kid's book...but then the book pages themselves are gonna be fairly bright and colourful, and those are usually what the kids will focus on..and it's not like I can't change the background if I come up with something neat

My logic was that it would just make me better at drawing trees if I drew them so often ::)

maybe I should do more random moving animation before continue the ssss video, because I actually has no idea or no experience to animate much....

It's mostly based off a photo taken years ago by my parents, although I've changed some things in the background. I didn't really bother to add the details to the clouds (or everything else), though - my focus was on the early stages of the painting.

Ooh! I like the one on the right better; I think the title could go on the bottom third since there isn't enough detail down there to be distracting. (If the color of the words isn't red, that is. Then that would still be hard to read.)

I think you have plenty of room for the title in the bottom half. There is nearly no detail and very little value variation so it's fine. I find both version equally good, albeit the right one more refreshing. It's very dark though and at printing it'll be even darker. A lot of the detail might be lost. Have you test-printed it already?
Hey tonight I learned how to do a render pass!
In other words, I learned to properly prepare and compose my stuff in order to best expose the sculpture work into a 2D piece. Not the simplest thing to do with Zbrush as I can only apply one material at a time. So I have to save a few different materials with different reflectivity and light.

Not the final color though. I just changed material, although it would be all gray if I decided to 3D print it. I wouldn't put any special material on it.
And after I let myself go at the details (symmetry off so this time I do every side).
Sculpting horses is the most relaxing thing to me. Puts me into a trance.

But all jokes aside, that's a nice random family (the hands especially were rendered nicely)

Actually, it reminds me of RandomTexanReader's work, especially with the intricate linework and shading.

Heheh, thanks ::) It's for my drawing class, so I have to render people more naturalistically than I'd normally do. IT'S SO HARD.

I've been doing some small plant studies, despite the fact that it is the middle of December and here that means nothing really has leaves left.

General admiration for everyone's art by the way, I am not much of an illustrator but it's cool to see all these great styles.
I thought I should jump in, now I'm pushing verts more often.
Using the Hard Ops addon for Blender, I've started trying to push myself into learning hard surface modeling.

Both rendered in cycles, and I didn't do the shading myself, but borrowed some other materials.
Thoughts?

Its that same masked mage. Changed a bit of small details, but otherwise its pretty much the same design from the first time (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=33.msg23708#msg23708).Sorry if I'm dreding past what is acceptable, but this one caught my eye. I have dabbled with some similar masked mages, and I love your design. To de robot it, maybe lose the chin triangle and make it fabric instead? a long drapy scarf thing?
Dunno if the mask is any better, it looks a bit robot-ish.

Yeah its the triangle shaped chin which gives off those weird science fiction vibes. Covering it up with a scarf like garment might not be a bad idea actually, just have to make sure it doesn't look too redundant.
Haiz Thanks! And well, I also think archers are pretty cool to be honest, so its not just you.
Lars_B Glad you like it :D

I would say that they look more like the assassins from the first Assassin's Creed game. But now that I think of it, a long coat and short breastplate thing (well it's actually some sort of vest and life support unit) are a common costume for star wars bounty hunters and pilots. So there's at least some passing similarity.
Although watching the movie probably has a lot to do with it. XD

AAAAA, I love it so much! It looks amazing!! The little droid is so cute, I like how it looks dirty, like it just came out of a battle. And your character's pose is so casually heroic like "yeah, just another day in the Resistance, no big deal".
I've been dreaming about being a jedi since forever, but things have changed... And I couldn't resist drawing a Rebel Pilot OC too.

I got a gift card for Christmas from my mum and dad (love em!) for an art store, so I binged on beautiful colored pencils, inks, and markers for my stash. Now all I wanna do is sit around all day and draw cute girls (｡’▽’｡)♡

Trinka Such a lovely gift! The girls are really cute ^w^

I've had a little more free time this new year, so I've been trying to figure out digital painting more by doing some photo studies.

My first drawing of 2016! I had some fun with the composition of this one, although I'd use different colors if I had to do it over again.

Over the ssss art museum Kiraly suggested to use masking fluid, so I had to try it. And accidentally a charming watercolour set jumped into my basket in the art supplies shop (hello, another expensive hobby). It's so much better quality than the old (20+ years) set, I'm in love with it! :)

Oooooooh, very nice result, Helia ! :)

Thanks :) I've never used masking fluid before (and I had advanced art classes back in school...). But it's really fun to use it.
It looks as though masking fluid produces the same effect as wax? One of my sons used to experiment with it, both for painting on heavy parchment-like paper and on sheets of paperbark. He would draw outlines on the paper with a bit of hard candlewax, then paint over it with watercolours. With the paperbark, which is quite soft on the inner side and easy to tear, he would rub in soft raw beeswax from my bees, which made a more blurred/soft effect but didn't tear the paperbark, then paint over it.
Yes, it's similar. The whole topic came up because I used wax and wasn't satisfied with the result. (it wasn't quite smooth on the uneven surface of the paper)

basically this type of colouring is one layer only filled with a colour (mostly darker colour) then choose random colours for the different part and colour the lighter parts with that (blended with the background colour),

The four assignments are mostly unrelated, except that they were assigned all at once and we could choose which piece we did for which deadline.
First, I had to draw a pair of shoes:

Thank youuuu!
*Happy to see Piney's masked characters* :)
I knew you would be :D
Piney, this comic is so cool and funny! I love the characters. Do you plan on doing more with them (sorry if you answered earlier...)?
On an unrelated note, what size are those images? My computer has slowed down to a crawl when scrolling through the page...
Aaaa thank you!! I want to do a webcomic with them once I've had experience writing webcomics. I have a whole story planned n' stuff ;)
(They're 4658 x 6987 pixels, and the smallest one is 15.5 megabytes. They don't load too quickly on my computer.)
Why can the sky see them there? Why do they need another hour of daylight? Why is he such a prankster? It's a really nice comic. ^-^ They also look really wet and cold now and I do not envy them.
1. In their mythology/beliefs system, the sky is personified. In order for the sigil to affect the weather, it has to be in view of the sky.
2. They both need to get home so they need the daylight to see where they're going.
3. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thank you!! I love when people ask questions like this because I know someone's genuinely interested and curious about my stories; it keeps me going ^-^ (And I'm glad I pulled off the 'cold & wet' look, haha)

Spoiler: show
I gotta say, I'm loving krita. I drew a kitty for Minna, I drew a super team... It just works so well. \o/ I kinda drew them all on the same page, and I might make it into a proper thing eventually. Anyways, yes. Enjoying digital art for once, now that I have something that works well. <3
ALso, oh my gosh, I have a lot of work to do to get as good as you guys. :'D I haven't checked in here in so long, but eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~

Birthday present for Haiz, a treasure planet AU. Things I like best about this: playing with opacities. I had two copies of the shirt layer to get the effect I wanted, one at low opacity and one at high opacity with the see-through parts erased. And I found a constellation that is a unicorn! The Monoceros (unicorn in greek, I think?). Buh there is at least three different versions of that constellation roaming the google so I just had to pick one of them and hope it might be recognizable :)

I finally got back to sculpting a little and decided to give another attempt at a character I've sculpted before (and somewhat failed at). Now I think the sculpt looks better than the original painting, so I am content!

Here is the painted version (from 2014, I think).

Martti Kakkainen Is that the turning torso building (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turning_Torso) in the background?yes, I was thinking to do the bridge, which is the other side. but then the lights/shadows would be different, because the sun would come on the other side..... well, maybe that would have more fun and interesting to shade then this.

Anyway, I usually give up on working without lines but every once in a while I try to push through and try to see what I can do working at my absolute capacity as an artist, so that's where this came from. Also I was super high when I got through the hard bits.

(as for shading: maybe use some more hard edges? but clothes and folds are the bane of my drawing existence, so...yeah.)
Sibling relationships are my favorite :D
Preferably I'd like to keep the soft brush for consistency, and I like using it for skin. (My mind works like a painter so I don't know how to cel shade ._. ) And I actually like fabric folds, but when I don't have a reference it's hard to figure where the shadows go, for me. I don't want the shadows to be too well-defined if they're in the wrong place :P

This sketch is missing some detail (such as lacing on the boots) and doesn't have any highlight or shading (other than those highlights on the armrests that are there to remind me what I'm planning to do) since I'll just do those once I start colouring. I don't normally post in-progress stuff, but since it'll take a few days before I'll have built a tracing desk, I figured I'd ask for advice now that I can still change things easily.

There is an art critique thread over here (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=691.0). It looks pretty good to me though, so I'll leave the nitpicking to someone else! :P (btw when resizing images, you only need to change one variable [w/h] not both. The forum automatically changes the other to match the ratio of the original image. :)))

How do you make it look so soft? I want to pet it >.<start with a harder pencil then make the darker part with a softer pencil, I used a 2B and a 7B
always start with lighter parts then make slowly the darker parts darker
why it is soft? maybe because I never make the top too pointy, so looks soft but not detailed. for more details the sharpened one is better, but that is better to be used in the end.
but honestly, no idea, I just do it.

Post by: Guardian G.I. on March 15, 2016, 09:58:23 AM
how do i get on this level jesus f***Usually, quite a lot. Most of the time, I'm too busy or just simply want to play video games instead of working on my drawings, and when I get the urge to draw, it very often happens after 24:00, especially when I have to get up at 7 in the morning. :-\
About how long did each of these take you?
The second one took me more than two weeks (I started on 21.02 and finished around 08.03), but I was too lazy to draw most of the time. When I worked on the first one, I had to prepare for the upcoming exams, so with the help of the magical forces of procrastination, I finished it in 2 days (it was an overdetailed value sketch painted over a pencil doodle (http://i.imgur.com/YI4ZHsS.jpg)). Usually it takes me a week or a week and a half to make something detailed.
I can't draw and paint people for ████, though.
P.S. If Feng Zhu's tutorial videos are to be believed, speed comes with practice, so there's no need to worry about it much.

Ahhhhh swampicorn, YES! The fact that someone has both dreamed up and actually created the swampicorn brings me no small amount of joy. Lovely, lovely job, Adrai. :)
Also, Curry what even this is incredible. Bless you; by the way, I really love the brushes that you chose. So very smooth!

Piney: love your textures and perspective, the wood of the building, their clothes, the view out of the window....oh, and the expressiveness of the characters' faces.

Oh, Piney, that looks so cosy! I'd like to join their hot-chocolate-and-knit-sweaters-club. :)

There's a lot of fun things about living in Japan, but one of the newer experiences was the town's festival which was last weekend. My taiko group was playing, and riding along in a float, and each time the float would stop I'd end up getting out my sketch pad and drawing it. At one point one of the little boys had been sitting and watching me draw for a while got up the courage to come closer and he helped me by drawing a person - you can see them at the top of the cart :3 Eventually after the festival I decided to put some actual effort into it and did a background based on the designs on the cart. I guess it was just a story I felt like sharing today.

It sounds intriguing! That guy looks like a splicing of Emil and Reynir... from the 1980s. :))
About the landscapes, I'd recommend you videos by Feng Zhu's School of Design (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvNv1kRvuSwLYS2CkHTDS6-zVKSoUYzJO) - they are very useful, especially this one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wy9MMdzbWcw) - I learned a lot of stuff just from imitating Feng Zhu's techniques.

lol if Emil and Reynir were spliced with Barbarella Queen of the Galaxy
*O* there are so many videos!! thank you my dude. Now I know exactly what i'm doing when finals are over.

No I think you should keep watching horror films. I love the cloudy affect the watercolour gives. I can imagine this thing advancing out of the fog in front of some long-forgotten cemetery, but somehow it doesn't look malevolent to me? Just kind of tragic. I love it!

I did the sky and the ground first, leaving space for the water empty (http://i.imgur.com/r1ZbfeD.png). Then, I merged all sky layers into one, copied it, turned it upside down and flipped it horizontally. After placing it, I did the same procedure with the ground layers.
After erasing everything that shouldn't be visible, I had to figure out how to paint ripples and waves for an hour or so.

Tr, Noodly Appendage, Luth Nightbreeze, Feartheviolas: thank you!Neat! The result is lovely, and I especially like the ripples in the water. They look very realistic, like one is standing right on the edge of the sea.

I have to say I really love your take on the classical beast! Where do you get your inspirations from? Are you adapting it straight from the original stories and illustrations and stuff?

I have to say I really love your take on the classical beast! Where do you get your inspirations from? Are you adapting it straight from the original stories and illustrations and stuff?aa thank you!!
WELL
my inspiration is from, everywhere I guess? I just really really like unicorns like deep within my soul because the concept of them really resonates with me, and I draw them a lot and I'm really bored by the idea that unicorns are often thought of as 'just a horse with a horn tacked on' because they're not. so my thing is to draw unicorns both different and more true to the "source material", except there is no real "source material" re: unicorns, mostly just... mentionings in different instances, old myths that can be linked to the more recent myth about unicorns, medieval tapestries and so on. I'm not sure what you mean by 'the original stories and illustrations and stuff' haha^^"
This unicorn in particular is based on the way beasts are drawn in the Book of Kells, so you can say that's where I get my inspiration from in this instance. but otherwise I usually base my unicorns on other animals than horses, like different types of deer or moose or giraffes or even camels. just doing unicorns in different shapessss

Re-appearing from the back of the thread. What I meant when I said 'source material' is like classical depictions of the beast. Like, on a British coat of arms or on a carving or doodled in the margins of some illuminated texts. The mentioning, is what I meant, I think.
Your passion for unicorns is truly inspiring.

it was challenging to me in many ways, maybe particularly how do you draw boys with short hair. i spent a ridiculous long time on this but i think i got a lot of exp points from this, maybe i get better background skills in a couple levels

Thanks for the nice comments on my last art from forever ago <3These look great, I have a weak spot for lovely soft shading like that. And it's sad because... Dad is leaving and never coming back? I don't think Dad is figuring among the OC's I've seen so far.
Some different OCs for a change:

Bishamon is best, and I loved her change of heart towards Yato later in the series. (tiny bit of blood, but spoiled anyway. Also, it's big.)Now I can see it, yay! Very pretty, and nice use of shading on the hair and armour.Spoiler: show

I was just looking through some of my old art and the amount of change made me so surprised, not just in the painting but also the style of drawing.

and then almost a year later:
(http://i.imgur.com/iKMT2f5.png?1)(http://i.imgur.com/rVozEQ5.png)
Looking back on past work is fun! I've had a ton of improvement since I joined this fandom:
Over a year and a half ago: (http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af14/epierceabbott/Lalli_zps2ivogtz2.png) (http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af14/epierceabbott/Warrior_zpswvyhv4cr.jpeg)
And just very recently:(http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af14/epierceabbott/Yato_zpsivvt99bp.jpg) (http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af14/epierceabbott/War%20God%20Bishamon_zpsduboaozs.jpg)
I think that improvement is mainly due to 3 things: more use of reference images, a better art program with better tools, and better motivation. I used to be super unmotivated with art and usually never spent more than hour on something.

I have a pencil drawing I did awhile ago, and I'm really kinda proud of it even if it isn't that good, I guess?
(http://pre05.deviantart.net/10c0/th/pre/i/2016/144/2/7/drammatic_shading_face_by_frostykittyzem-da3325i.jpg)
It's the first realistic-ish nose I've ever done without erasing it furiously *coughcoughIdidn'thavetheerasercough* And also one of the few lineless things I've done, since I just drew the eye and the doodle grew dramatically from there. I know the head got a bit smooshed (because I didn't plan to draw a whole face), but I think it might be my best so far?

Luth, nice! Are you planning to add some color to it? Lots of green, all the green :D Can't go wrong with that.
This is my first time posting in this thread, and I'm here because Laufey commissioned me to draw her SSSSona/OC Laufey hanging out with an adder in a Finnish forest, and what better place to show it off! I hadn't painted for a while so I was a bit rusty (must not let that happen again!), but it was fun to make all the textures. The original is on its way to Laufey, and I'm really proud and excited about that!

How do you make them?I take a US standard size sheet of graph paper with 10 squares per inch and pick how to divide the space up into smaller and smaller bits, which I fill with "stock patterns". My avatar is the center 16 squares of a "swirl", where there's a central square within a tangential diamond within a tangential square, etc. It works out that the "creative" part only covers a quarter or so of the whole figure, depending on which form I pick. The time to complete each is 8-ish hours, depending.

Well, it's safer than giving a child an axe :P And I'm pretty sure the carry-over-the-shoulder technique should really be used for tools that aren't mostly blade. How do you think he gets all the scars?

A locomotive I built earlier this year.
I know it doesn't have buzz saws coming out of it, but I think it's at least mildly interesting otherwise. :)

Really good lighting effects and textures!
Please post more stuff on SketchFab - it's a very good website, and models like these are actually very good art references.
Post by: Synæsthesia on June 25, 2016, 05:59:10 PM
I'll definitely keep updating SketchFab - I just need more models to toss up there!

No arm guard, quiver, EXTRA ARROWS, and it's a good thing you can't see her other hand because guess what? no tab/glove. It pains my archer heart. And you don't recognize the character because she is an OC, I just completely forgot to mention it.

Thanks Haiz!
Know that whatever you say, be it a compliment or criticism, is certainly appreciated on my end!
I think I'll give her a name related to light or sun or something on those lines. For now, I think Áine (a Gaelic name that means radiance) can work.

Must also say that your drawing of Sparrow is really good!
Really like the golden lightning, especially how it merges with the lineart at some points; and is reinforced by the grass.

Tr: I love the first panel, it looks like realistic rocks and yet it's cartoony too, it's really striking. The intricate border panels are really nice too (I love those sorts of design elements), and the red and black together really increases the intensity. It's a spiffy story snippet!First of all, thank you!
Heheheh, I should probably say that the realistic rocks are in fact part of a photograph from an old issue of National Geographic. :P So is the bottom part of the second panel on that page... and I think part of the 3rd page as well. Using as many different materials as possible was one of the most fun parts of making that. (No, I did not go through the trash to find possible art materials. I went through the recycling.)

The combination certainly looks good, really clever technique.
Ohh, I also like how the start of the comic rhymes, or at least appears to.

Drew paladin Áine, mostly to color something.
Her palette is mostly whites and yellows, because color contrast with the antagonists (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=536.msg111451#msg111451)is important, well at least I think it is.

Kit and Blade, the most best large grumpy griffin and short wizard. From Dark Lord of Derkholm by Diana Wynne Jones.
Somewhere in the middle of drawing this, I hid my lines layer and realized I had a pretty decent (and wholly unintentional) Batman silhouette.

Kat, I don't know the character, but I personally think it looks good with no face (though if shades are needed go for the shades!!).
Haiz, you deserve to be proud of that greygale that is a cool greygale.
Tr, The illustrations for Róisín's poem are really quite lovely, and I am jealous of your griffin (and unintentional Batman) drawing skills.
I found a thing crumpled up in my bookshelf and I'm not sure what it is so I'm just gonna leave it here.

Quote from: Tr
Thanks! This is obviously a very cool thing. I wonder what size it is compared to a human!Thanks both of you! I've been squinting at it and I'm thinking it's some kind of really, really big golem since there's a tree in it's head. Judging from the birds I'm guessing that a person would be roughly the size of a finger. Though it's legs and torso do look very sycamore tree. I don't know. I think it's too late for me to be contemplating the intent of something I drew years ago.

My SSSSona painted by Sc0ut, so amazing it had the whole workplace admire it in turns while I was working on it! The sheer amount of details, holy heck, I wholeheartedly recommend Sc0ut for commissions because the end outcome is just so brilliant. Sc0ut managed to create the background so exactly like the surroundings of my summer cottage I get homesick when I look at it. (I look at it a lot.)
(http://imgur.com/9wYHBwN.jpg)
Detail of the framing job. The frame is decidedly simple so it won't take attention from the picture itself, and the green passe partout has a marbling effect on it because I felt it gave the picture a nice, forest-y touch.
(http://imgur.com/vLmGfdE.jpg)
Moving on to the two Haiz commissions. This one is a valkyrja Sigrun, and I specifically requested a real deal valkyrja in functional armour. Going by sagas valkyrjas are
(http://imgur.com/h6m9BkU.jpg)
Frame detail. For this one I felt a dark, heavily patterned frame alone worked best.
(http://i.imgur.com/aF7DvTA.jpg)
Then there's Lempo! Again, I gave Haiz some details on the god/dess and they totally blew my mind with this. So accurate, I knew to expect awesomeness but the end result was still even better. I could stare at it forever, it's so amazing and beautiful and and and I'm bad at adjectives when it comes to this one because none are big enough!
(http://i.imgur.com/ZVa9dqW.jpg)
The indigo passe partout is even deeper colour in reality and really makes the reds and yellows pop. The frame is more gold than it looks like here, I mostly selected it because the pattern reminded me of small flames all over but also because I felt that the picture could easily pull off even a complicated frame, it's so strong. Besides I had it printed out HUGE because I could. :D
All in all, I'm super happy with my commissions!!!
Sc0ut
* communication: 5/5 excellent, quick, friendly and to the point
* schedule: 5/5, we agreed on a leisurely pace from the get go because painting takes time
* results: 10/5 holy &%##$**& how can a human make this happen with watercolours?!!
Haiz
* communication 5/5 for almost liveblogging me the progress of both pictures :D
* schedule: 5/5 the Haiz is fast, so fast
* results: 10/5, everything I wanted and then some more, executed exactly how I wished them to be

Actually guts were a good early source of fiber to make ropes and stuff.They still are (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catgut), actually, though the only animal fiber I see listed for weaving is silk, but can you imagine someone who's using skulls for weights (instead of picking up rocks or whatever) forgo the extra effect of having the "strings" being recognizable for what they actually are?

Ooh, that top comic page looks really good! And I went on your tumblr and read the full comic of the below one and I am intrigued... Would love to see more of this story!
I have some fanart of The Heroic Legend Of Arslan, one of my favourite animes, of which a new season just came out so I got hyped up and decided to fanart it. It's based on a Persian legend and it's a really good medieval/adventure/war anime. I don't want to give any of the story away, but if you like medieval stuff than I would recommend it.
Anyway, I drew Arslan as his usual happy, naïve self:

And now that you mention I think there was a hollowed knight that looked pretty similar inside the archives.

I discovered a new webcomic called Radio Silence and oh, hecking heck what a beautiful thing it is: http://www.radiosilencecomic.com . Here is an attempt to draw without lines, and it's of the lovely Shy from said comic:

And a drawing for Basse; he asked me to draw him in a 1920's prohibition-style portrait, so this is what I drew:
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CouviXiXgAEWKH0.jpg)
If you guys have never been on jitsi or Skype with Basse, I recommend it in the highest regard. He is a very good friend and a joy to chat with.
And, finally: I drew a self-portrait as a part of the beachsona drawing meme that I've seen floating around of late:

First off obviously this is awesome (and so well composed ohhhh my goddd and the colors and the character style etc etc) but also I have a question, how do you color your lines? Do you change uo your colors while lining or do you put them down in one color and go back later to color them?

I color lines as the final step, once I've finished all the coloring and fixed any lineart mistakes, through the lock transparent pixels setting.
Before that all my lines are black or some really ugly, insanely saturated tone.

@ginger those are all awesome! Kudos for doig so well without lineart (i know how hard that is—i literally cannot) and that one of Basse is Awesome. Capital A. Cause it's so awesome.
Thank yooooou! And I definitely did the initial sketch for that drawing with lines before erasing them. XD And thank you so much for the bit about Basse's portrait! He actually has the most pure smile (you gotta see that loser and his smile) and I am very glad to have drawn it!

I, too have some insomnia-induced sketches.
They're all characters from The Heroic Legend of Arslan, (which is a really good show and I will never stop recommending it to everyone I talk to.)
The main character, Arslan being very happy.

My favourite character, Etóile. I totally don't ship her and Arslan nooo.... ::)
(http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af14/epierceabbott/Etoacuteile_zpsidtazfhd.jpeg)

(http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af14/epierceabbott/Narsus_zpscybpyiel.jpeg)
And a scene from the end credits which I re-drew with Arslan and Etóile standing back to back. (they're perfect for each other and Etóile totally has a crush on Arslan :3)

Plus I try to take Hermes seriously but I just can't because his circumstances remind me WAY too much of another scarred exiled prince.

Nice art recently, everyone! I just got finished with a little animation I've been working on of a little ghost girl. It seems that the full animation doesn't want to show up properly on the forum, so click the link for the full thing (It's like 4 times as long!)Ohmygosh, that's adorable! The animation is really good!

I really love the music in the new series, both the openings/endings and the background music. My favourite song has got to be this one, it's so beautiful.

A few weeks ago I got the idea to paint a picture that my mom took last fall when I went apple picking with my friends. Today I finished it! I don't remember where I got the idea to paint our hands in different colors, but I decided on pink, purple and blue. The pink one is me :) And we're holding bottles of ginger beer.I love the colors in this!

I'm gonna agree on green being the good colour here. Matches very well with the colour of the character's hair. Sorry if you've already explained this, but are these pretty folks from a comic you're working on?

Jureeya, those look amazing! I'm gonna agree with Owl and Luth and say I prefer the green. ^-^
Thank you thank you <3! I'm glad you like them!
Jureeya, those are gorgeous. Great linework and extremely attractive people and these stir my art jealousy so bad. I prefer the marroon on Cal.
Ahh thank you that means a lot ^-^
Great works by everyone, as usual.

Thank you <3 And yes! They're from a comic I'm planning now. I'm just doing designs and non-plot pages now to plan things out and see where im at artistically. I actually did another test page just....last night? yesterday?? Anyone that came to stream knows that I stayed up all night drawing this for nO good reason because I spent like five hours trying to fix Cal's face.

And as for all the new art here since I last checked:
Keeper: I really like how saturated the color of the hands are, it makes it look sort of whimsical!
John: sleazy merchant guy definitely looks sleazy! I think it's his expression that does the trick.
Piney: that's super cute, and the lighting looks quite nice. Did they fall asleep next to a fire?
Jureeya: wow, lots of cool stuff! If you want my two cents, I prefer the green as well, but I think both could work. Though I really like the plain black as well...
Helia: beautiful watercolors! It all looks so serene ^-^

This is really cool, I like it! May I ask what it is for (or do you just make cool monster bros for fun which is also great)?That and the other fellow are based off a little pet idea I have in mind. along with quite a few other pictures.
Started during a semester of college while I was looking through some artwork online. One series of pictures made me think "What if there was a turn based strategy game where one of the units could move around parts of the grid?" After looking at another picture involving some Finnish soldiers (wish I could remember the exact names and sources). Before one of my German classes started I drew the figure on the left in this picture, and within a week or two I did the same with the other two, left to right:
(http://i.imgur.com/L6XLu8v.jpg)
After that I made a team of them in opposite colors, and also meant to sort of act as differently upgraded in the original idea:
(http://i.imgur.com/uCDdQok.jpg)
I even tried to give them rank insignias on their backs (I reworked these idea for the sketchbook assignment for an illustration class I had during the last spring semester):
(http://i.imgur.com/e2vmxZe.jpg)
During the sketchbook assignment I expanded on the characters of this idea further (besides a little drawing on of I made sometime inbetween). At one point I decided that I wanted something monstrous that could act as a common enemy, as quite a few ideas that ran through my mind made the two team rivals instead of bitter enemies. While working with ink for one page, an accident occurred:
(http://i.imgur.com/Uay2BMC.jpg)
I turned this accident into something useful: Inspiration for these beasts. I don't have pictures of pages involving the development but I could record them if needed.
If you want, you can hopefully see all the pictures I did put online through this link here. (http://imgur.com/gallery/C0cZy)

You should definitely go see it, the animation was amazingly cool and I really liked the story, though granted I'm kind of a sucker for humanity vs. immortality themes... also beetle samurai.

Ooh awesome! It's not urgent or anything, maybe just ship it when you get home if that's easier for you. Although you're studying in canada so I guess you wouldn't go home for like a year?? Whatever's easiest for you. I assume payment would be through paypal?

Thanks! :D I just made the brush smaller and made a lot of little strokes in the direction the fur was going. Then y'know, layered some strokes on top of the highlights to make them blend in? I used the same brush for the whole things :P

I can't get over how gorgeous he is, yo.
And hey, here's a fanart-sketch I just made in a fit of inspiration(will probably put some color and clean it a little, but I thought it was a pretty sketch so here):
(https://s21.postimg.org/l5oic3vat/minuial.jpg)
the arms/hands are weird, I know, but they're actually supposed to be kinda like that
This lady's a demon queen called Minuial, from a webcomic called Headless Bliss, and you guys, you gotta read it! It's SOOO awesome!
*_* This is sooo pretty!

so of course, I stay up to finish the sketch

Post by: Jureeya on October 13, 2016, 06:12:41 PM
The Milky Way and the trees are painted with the same brush, and because they have (almost) identical edges, they kinda make everything look flatter than it should be, especially if you look closely. Shouldn't the galaxy be a bit more blurry at the edges? Here's a similar photo, to illustrate what I mean (https://i.sli.mg/vJOU0L.jpg).
Thanks!
That was actually semi-intentional. I don't know if this is true for everyone, but when I have tons of different brush textures going in the same picture, like below, it looks much rougher and less...coordinated? organized?
(http://66.media.tumblr.com/b4a2b90f8b3463b51b062d0906309833/tumblr_oexgcrTviI1qi5y7ro2_1280.png)
So it's kind of a trade-off between flatness and coming together as well as that one does. I think when you use the same texture for the whole picture then it works much better as a whole.

I actually just use the default brushes that come with Clip Studio Paint/Manga Studio 5. For the space paintings 90% of it is done with the "darker bleed" india ink brush and blended with the watercolor brush, and then I use a bunch of different default air brushes for the stars.

It's an Ashe from Thrilling Intent! I think she may just be one of my favorite characters ever - enough to get me to try modelling a human for the first time at least.

I'm planning on doing a lot more, but this is all I have so far. :)
I'm excited to see how it turns out, but first I have stats homework... ^u^"

It is (Navy)!! I love her so much and I also have a roleplay blog for her. :)
Also, instead of linking a bunch of photos here, would it be okay if I linked my dA (http://pastelgalpal.deviantart.com/)?
It only has a few things but I'm proud of my works. ^3^

Seeing as I'm still awake and there's no work tomorrow, I've concluded that my attempt at inktober shall be allowed to crawl out of my notebook, because i really *did* try, even if I wasn't able to complete nearly as many as I'd hoped I would. And I guess there's a whole bunch of webcomic recommendations tied in with the pictures as well considering where so much of my inspiration came from :POooh I really like those ink drawings! They're all very nicely done. :DSpoiler: inktober • show
I read The Last Halloween as well, but it's been some time since I checked up on it, last time I did was when they encountered the monsters in the woods surrounding the bonfire.

Here's the finished picture, along with some rather creepy wips and scraps of the eyes. Eyes are hard, I struggle with getting them focused, and also tend to make them too large. The finished eyes has at least twice as much eyelids as the earlier versions, but still maybe a bit too large for an actual person.

Thank you Yuu, Róisín, Jethan, Buteo and Luth, and Helia who commented on my tumblr where I have a hard time figuring out how to reply to replies! (big smile after reading your comments, people it is so appreciated!) I enjoyed painting that one, I have a photoshop brush that is exactly right for painting that type of fluffy fur and I love to use it. My favorite part of the wolf is actually the fur behind its ear :)Aaa, this is gorgeous! I just... wow. *stares*

Martti, your arts are great too!
I actually like this style but takes too long to do, so I barely use, but fun to use sometimes: two of the main characters, who might have an interesting relationship?^ This one is my favourite of the ones you posted. That style looks really cool! But I can understand not using it often if it takes longer than what you usually do.

The runes don't really mean anything, I did this in class and we aren't supposed to have our phones out really, so they are just what I can remember of the top of my head (so glad I have a good memory! I wouldn't have finished in time if not!) (also, most of them are combos of each other ;) )
And in the middle, I have always heard it called a staves, not a Galdrastafir. But, yeah, runic compass and Courage in battle!

I hate my art style... it is soo clear... I want to make it sketchy and messy, I find hem cooler ;3;you always like the opposite of your style? people with messy styles loves my art, but I love their..... why?
but thanks.
The only helpful thing I can think of is to look at sketchy art or comics everyday or at least weekly until it gets absorbed into your system without even realizing it.
Because after all this time of reading SSSS I think Minna's style of noses has seeped into my artwork. Completely unintentionally...And sometimes I notice my art looks a little like other styles of webcomics I read or have read over a long period of time.

I haven't really been able to do anything recently because of webcomic & finals, but I did experiment a little with watercolors a couple nights ago. (+ gold ink because it makes everything better) (featuring my OC, Corin)

Róisín, thank you, Ashe is absolutely interesting character and I like following the show. Different than anything I've seen before as is a role play by a group of four guys (at least at the point I'm at) with occasional animation and still pictures of the characters with different expressions. In the beginning the sound is a bit uneven but it gets better.
Marrti/Krisse, Piney, John, thank you for sharing your amazing works here!

I was given a really nice leather-bound journal for Christmas, and I've been using it as a sketchbook:

This was inspired by the game Year Walk. The game is based on Swedish folklore, and the creature in the drawing is the Kyrkogrim or Church Grim, a kind of guardian spirit of the church.

As a child, I was given dolls and Lionel trains. I ignored the dolls, made complex track layouts with some model buildings to run my trains on, and occasionally wrapped one of the engines in a blanket and carried it around.... I have no idea. I loved trains, particularly steam locomotives.
Thanks for the memories.

PaperArtillery, I especially like the train - not just because it is beautifully painted and sitting in an appropriate complementary scene, but because it brings back some fond memories.

I'm glad it could do something for someone. Here's a link to a 4-image Imgur gallery of that set. https://imgur.com/gallery/HnVqy (https://imgur.com/gallery/HnVqy)
The gallery also includes more backstory on the model, which (as mentioned briefly) has been through a lot and is from 1977-1979 or so.

PaperArtillery, that's quite the club layout. A very good paint job also. And what's wrong with "Combat Girlfriend" I think it has a nice ring to it ;)

This was for Radiolinked, a speed paint of a place near my parents cabin in Eggedal, where I spent many weeks each year going for at least 4-hours-maybe 8 hours-long walking trips. This is about a half-hour out. The bear is there because Radiolinked mentioned bears as a like, although there are no bears in that region.

So I've done a couple drawings in my sketchbook recently that I like enough to share. :)Spoiler: showSpoiler: showSpoiler: showSpoiler: show
These are all really good! Especially the ballgowns in the first are pretty, and I love the design of the dress in the second!
Here's one piece I just finished. It was a gift for a friend of mine for his birthday; his character in a RP im running, which is actually a reboot of the Victorian Horror RP (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=619) here on the forum because honestly I really missed it, and because my friends wanted to start up a steampunk/victorian era game I ended up running it again! :) So far we're not much further than it went here on the forum, but I have much more planned. (actually if you're interested in reading it so far, or even joining maybe, PM me and I can send a link to the Discord chat)
Anyway, without further ado, Edward Victoria:
Spoiler: Big images • show
The style I was going for is kinda inspired by Don't Starve, I wanted something that gave off a real Victorian-Gothic vibe. In the RP, his character is a bit of a mad scientist who has some transmutation magic gained from a satanic ritual. (that's what he's doing in the drawing)
It was really fun and really difficult and really stressful and overall I'm really happy with how it turned out! ;D

Here's a project that I've been working on for quite a while, which I'm finally finished!! I'm really happy with the end result, and I'm thinking I'll print it to put on my wall. (I have the perfect spot for it)
Spoiler: very tall image • show
It was started a few months ago when I first played Abzû, (what an amazing and beautiful game) and I wanted to make some fanart! I got to try a bunch of new things in the process, and it was my first time painting sea creatures and an underwater scene in general, so it was a ton of fun but also quite difficult! ;D Enjoy!

Luth, I really like your color choices(that pink coral yess) and the beams of sunlight coming down. You should be happy with it!
This is something that I did today to play around with hair and color and such. c:

I like your style and your character, he's very messianic and jesus-y, but with a cool scarf and jacket combo.

ahh, he's not supposed to be very jesus-y. I really don't want to go to much into that "you're the chosen one" trope, but I guess that picture made him look very messianic. An unfortunate side effect, I suppose.I think it's the combination of the halo thing behind him, the peaceful expression, and the haircut. They just make him look like something I'd see in a church.

Here is a piece I did recently for class, it is of the main character in the comic I am trying to make. Hopefully this uploads correctlyRegardless of whether or not he's supposed to look Jesus-y, this is still one heck of an art piece! I was getting more of an art deco vibe from the backdrop anyways. Love the colors as well!

Unlos: showed the video to husband, who was impressed. He has been thinking of trying digital art.Thank you, and you may tell your husband thank you for me. I have enjoyed drawing digitally greatly after I got a drawing tablet something like two years ago, now. How time flies! Long smooth lines are still a pain compared to traditional drawing because of the differences in hand coordination, but sketching and coloring was fun from the start!
Unlos, that is beautiful!Thank you! And so many nice drawings! I love their varying expressions and different coloring.

thanks, I really love it too, not because it is my art, just I love when someone redraws an old art of their and there is a BIG difference between them.... sometimes I see people redraw arts and.... there is no but difference between them, maybe style is different, but the arts level is same, which is not as interesting like in this one, where my art level is really low compared to what I have now.
probably my biggest weakness was to draw body... I drew too big heads, and even shorter legs compared to head or body, but over years, and a lot of arts (and thanks to an irl friend to help me) I managed to learn to draw decent body size compare to the head.

but year, my style was more based on the 90s animes which I watched and learnt my first style from, and now.... I managed to get cooler styles in and
thanks, I really love it too, not because it is my art, just I love when someone redraws an old art of their and there is a BIG difference between them.... sometimes I see people redraw arts and.... there is no but difference between them, maybe style is different, but the arts level is same, which is not as interesting like in this one, where my art level is really low compared to what I have now.

I may have mentioned in the Books! thread that I read Hemingway's The Old Man And The Sea not too long ago, and I really liked it so I did this little painting, inspired by it. I was organizing my art supplies, and came across a watercolour set, so I decided to try it out. I think it turned out well! ^-^I think so too! Those are some nice waves! (hm the compliment seems inadequate but the cresting waves? Really nice! And I don't know if the curved horizon was intentional or not but the effect is great :D

Thank you!! :D I wasn't sure about how the waves turned out, so its good to hear that they look okay. The horizon absolutely was unintentional, only noticed that now! :P (It might just look like that because it was scanned a bit sideways, not sure.) Anyway, Thanks!

I adore this! You did such a lovely job and I wish I could listen to it on a longer loop.
I get a lot of vibes (haha) from this that remind me of Nujabes' work (particularly in the soundtrack for Samurai Champloo). If you're not already familiar with him, I really recommend that you listen to his stuff! It seems like you'd really like it. :)

(under spoiler because I should *probably* attach a self-harm tw for this one, although its pretty abstract)
I've been listening to the new Arcade Fire album a lot, and felt inspired to draw something from some of the lyrics on Everything Now. Didn't quite come out how I wanted it to, the stars were supposed to be more dramatic and I got impatient and just grabbed a red sharpie rather than getting another good art pen like I had been planning on. May take a shot at more stuff from the album later.

Aww thanks guys! I absolutely love Nujabes' work! (He's like one of my top inspirations in making beats! His opening theme for Samurai Champloo with Shing02 is one of my favorites from him)
Yeeeees, I totally agree!

I also really love Shiki No Uta (the closing theme) and have recently found this awesome cover of it:

I'd have to do some research to make it reality!Iolite, lepidolite, simple amethyst would do maybe? I once also saw a purple tourmaline pendant, it looked very lovely (and had a most not-lovely price, well).

Noodles, you've made so many wonderful drawings! And EEEEK SQUEEEE The Death of Rats warms my heart just a little extra.
Lenny, I really enjoyed watching your drawing process.
Big inktober dump, the ones with color were inked traditionally but had color added digitally afterwards. Most of the pictures are downscaled considerably but just click them if you want to see them closer up.
No smarts but hearts is a podcast-like roleplaying game using cards, and I've greatly enjoyed watching/listening to it. The finale was awesome and I crave more, more!
I colored in the drawing I've already posted of Quiggly, with an "upward streamer" between his cufflinks - thats the spark from the ground that meets the downward leader from the sky juust before the return strike of the lightning (I had to google that but it was too interesting not to share).

Thank you Róisín!

I love all of these, but especially Dawn! I love the way you drew her hair!
No smarts but hearts is a podcast-like roleplaying game using cards, and I've greatly enjoyed watching/listening to it. The finale was awesome and I crave more, more!
I colored in the drawing I've already posted of Quiggly, with an "upward streamer" between his cufflinks - thats the spark from the ground that meets the downward leader from the sky juust before the return strike of the lightning (I had to google that but it was too interesting not to share). Then follows Dawn! the enthusiastic captain, in a moment of decicion. Then a little ghosts girl I made as a birthday present. The others are characters from Thrilling intent, another podcast/RPG but with more drawings.

Post by: Unlos on February 22, 2018, 03:29:44 PM
Róisín, there are in a way four characters here, and I'll try to give you a minimum if inadequate background on them: The picture I based the drawing on, is the iconic poster of japanese director Hayao Miyazakis Mononoke Hime (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Mononoke) (or Princess Mononoke), an animated film from 1997 that depicts a conflict between human settlers and the spirits of the forest. The girl San is one of the main characters, a human girls who lives with wolf spirits of the forest. The movie is well worth watching, I think, and very different from what comes from Disney and Dreamworks. Don't misunderstand, I love a lot of Disney and Dreamworks, too, but studio Ghibli is just something else.
Some of the opposition between human technology and forest magic also exist in the comic Gunnerkrigg Court (http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/) by Tom Siddel. Warmly recommended! Annie is the main character, living at a sort of boarding school in the vast and rather empty city-complex of Gunnerkrigg Court. Ysengrin is a wolf spirit and I don't think I can tell too much about him without revealing all of the story - but I love his character.
Not depicted is Coyote, a trickster god who resembles Puppy fox a lot except grown up and clever.

PickleChip, congratulations on getting accepted into the contest! The colors and composition are both really nice: I like how it's both recognizably a portrait and very jumbled up at the same time. The marbled-looking swirl effects around the edges are cool too!
Meanwhile, I have been thoroughly enamored with my first Dungeons and Dragons experience these past few months, and I felt that it would only make sense to draw my character, Miri She's a dwarf rogue and generally very exasperated with everyone's antics. (But secretly she likes it). She's also notoriously bad at picking locks because the dice just won't let me roll higher than a 5 on lockpicking checks unless she has magical assistance. At this point, it's become a character trait! :'D

I can see it better here than on my tumblr on my phone. Here I notice the order of colours along the metal - isn't that an authentic metalsmithing order of colours? Back in the Bronze Age when I took metalsmithing, we learnt how to anneal the steel to a specific colour. This looks like the real deal?
Thank you! It's as real as I managed to make it - the colors are pretty much a copy of the metal on the ref pic I linked, combined with two limited palettes that fit what I wanted to make. I had fun goofing around blacksmith resource pages, deciding for or against gloves, and how to fit an anvil on a foundation, what clothes to wear and if chains on the anvil help get the ting-ting noise become less loud.

I FINALLY finished this self portrait that I've been working on since late July, which I have spent a total of around 24 hours on (if not more). So I'm posting it absolutely everywhere I can make people see it XD. At least 2/3 of the drawing time went into the blanket alone! My grandma knitted it for me. <3

Keeper, that is so you. And the blanket is gorgeous.

"When I was 15, I was confronted with the cruel truth - I HAVE NO JAZZ IN MY SOUL. I have no JAZZ in my soul. I have no JAZZ in my soul." The empty bars are marked only with a chord; the intention is that there is a solo there and the soloist is expected to improvise, more or less using the notes in that chord. This is an ability I lack to this day.
Why yes, I wore a Farrah haircut in high school.

Like Antillanka I decided to draw Cryptids, but specifically ones featured on the highly entertaining Cryptid Keeper podcast (https://soundcloud.com/user-967697558). This explains some of the... stranger... elements which are mostly podcast specific in-jokes.
I'll post a few here - all 31 are up on my Flickr (https://www.flickr.com/photos/wyrmworld/albums/72157702905978644)

Thought I'd drop in this warmup sigrun portrait I did! I've been trying to learn how to paint digitally lolSpoiler: show
Cool, and a very good Sgru!! Digital painting can be so much fun, in some ways very much like traditional and in other ways just so very different. And then there's an ocean of tutorials that sometimes help, and sometimes overwhelm (at least that's how it works for me). Some of the tips and tricks are so super helpful though! Feel free to completely overlook this if it's unwanted advice, but the points below were revelations for me.
1. You can work at low opacities! Yay!
2. Multiple layers - they may be a curse but also so super good when you want to experiment.
3. Locking a layer - if you have finely traced and filled in the basic colors of, e.gyour characters hair, you can lock the layer when you add shades, highlights and all the fun stuff, without being the least afraid of messing up adjacent things like the face.
4. Layer masks -can be used for the same functions as locking a layer.
5. Customized brushes! Some of the basic brushes are plain round things, and although I know It's possible to get the effect you want with them, they can make drawing so much more fun!
And more, so if you need someone to yell at re digital painting, feel free to PM me as I'm not the best at keeping on top of the forum threads anymore :-)

Ohoho! Some good tips in there! As I’m a newbie I’ve been making myself stay on one layer, but perhaps when I’m better at it... *wiggles fingers menacingly*

Even better advice for someone who is less than a newbie - I haven't even tried yet, although I want to! The nice thing is getting a teaser of the advantages of going digital.
Best thing about going digital is ctrl-z, at least for me :P I make so many mistakes...
My style tends to be quite comic-y so painting is a revelation, it's almost like trying to make my drawings more organic and kinda heading back towards *looking* traditional.

I got to see "Never Ending Man", a short documentary about Hayao Miyazaki. He had retired and closed down Studio Ghibli but he couldn't stop drawing. So he wound up trying to do something digitally - CGI. Some digital artists were hired and he gave them some sketches he'd been working on. It was very interesting. At one point he tried doing some digital drawing himself. But I think it was a case of teaching an old dog new tricks. He was getting the hang of the basics but he couldn't learn fast enough to suit himself. He went back to his traditional sketches and giving them to the digital artists. There may be a feature film in the offing.
I will say after watching him interact with the staff I can say he is a stern taskmaster. Benevolent but definitely a taskmaster along the lines of "I can draw this now you do it". I don't think I'd care to work for him. :D

There is a neural network-based AI called GauGAN being currently developed by Nvidia. It turns MS Paint-tier scribbles into more or less photorealistic landscapes:
At some point this year, they've released an online demo, available here (http://nvidia-research-mingyuliu.com/gaugan/). It doesn't work on smartphones, and its drawing tools are incredibly awful, but you can upload your own segmentation maps made in other programs.
Here's an input image I threw up in 5 minutes:
(https://i.imgur.com/CBSPgH6.png)
GauGAN turns it into this:
(https://i.imgur.com/71TOOH2.jpg)
I made the input segmentation map in SAI, using the default Binary brush. Segmentation maps must be a 512x512 png file and all the colours indicating various stuff must be those recognized by GauGAN, or else it'll throw errors at you. It means you cannot use brushes with pressure sensitivity for opacity.
You can change the rendering style by clicking on the photos in the demo's interface. It's a very nice thing:
(https://i.imgur.com/4LG0aXj.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/WBkmgbU.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/Ow5P9Dn.jpg)
Some other examples:
(https://i.imgur.com/vHCwTTQ.png)
(https://i.imgur.com/p1TZMKv.png)
It generates rubbish sometimes, most "Building" labels don't work properly, and others are very quirky (wanna draw trees? "Tree" draws only leaves - use "Wood" for tree trunks), but it's a very fun thing to play with.

The local city council puts on events of all types across its facilities, including occasional free life drawing sessions. It's good to have a model from time to time, keeps the machinery oiled. Anyway, some snippets from the sketchbook, ink, 10-20 minute poses:
I really like those life drawings! The poses look very lively and I like the green shading on the third drawing. This makes me want to go and take some life drawing lessons :D

On the plus side, I have two drawings I did not have before and a new experience under my belt. They meet once a month, so perhaps I will try again. They seem a nice bunch of folks, too.

(Description taken from the original post, posted on the 26th of February)
Recently I took a digital drawing course and, as my first ever original digital drawing, I made this mobster pug.
He’s kind of a Zootopia oc that I never got around to actually drawing because I never felt motivated to do it, but when the teacher told us to draw an original animal character, I thought of drawing him (maybe because I was listening to the Hotline Miami soundtrack while drawing). I don’t really have a story or even a name for him, I just call him “John Wick’s Dog”.
The colors might look a bit weird on mobile devices, so I recommend you use a laptop or computer to see how it’s actually supposed to look like.
Also, it’s a bit less polished than I would have liked it to be, since I was on a time constraint, sorry.

I am also eager to work with you all guys, if you have poetry, story or idea that you wish to illustrate, do not hesitate to told me !
I am not a professionnal so of course no charge, but it will take time since I draw on my free time (well, right now, I have a lot of free time thanks to the "stay at home" policy).

As you can probably tell, Minna's last youtube video inspired me a lot, and I felt the urge to paint clouds. So I did, and I added a few mountains to bring in more epicness to the piece, and that's pretty much it. ^^
The character in the foreground is Logi the Icelandic Dreki, my main OC (you could call him my fursona ^^"). He's from an original species I created, and I love him. x3

Yep, Dreki comes from the icelandic word for "dragon" (though it's not *technically* a dragon), and my character's name, Logi, means "flame" in icelandic (it's also a fairly common name in Iceland)
Well I *do* have a few drawings of him on my DA (https://www.deviantart.com/gaelledragons/gallery/68874236/my-fursona-logi) , and a whole bunch of other sketches on my Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/gaelle_dragons_draws/?hl=fr) ... O:-)

Yep, Logi's wings are kinda translucent. Since his wings are half owl/half bat, the bat part of the wings is made of thick skin that can appear translucent when backlit by the sun, like in this pic. ^^

I've been doing some oil painting for school and I took a bunch of paint home for the quarantine/school holidays to work on my art project, and I figured I'd do some painting just for fun as well. I really like painting clouds and landscapes and stuff, so here's a little seascape I painted today (based off the beach we normally take our dog!)

It's originally an art school homework: we had to create a picture in black and white with as much detail as possible. The theme was free for us to choose (my favorite kind of art school homework!), as long as we put in lots and lots of detail. I decided to mix the detailed and realistic raven with this beautiful Viking tracery (is it the right term for it??).
The piece is called, Hrafn (raven in icelandic), and I honestly stopped counting how many hours it took me to complete it, or how many blackliners died during the process (I'll always remember you, 0.1... :'().
Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go rest my hand...

Now I was working in my next story, the third part of "A beginning", and felt that I needed a map of the space where things will happen to give more consistency to the narrative and help me see how the characters would move. So I decided to draw a map of the place, called Warehouse 13 (yes, it's a reference to that TV series).
Over that base map, done by one Archibald Grey (my ancestor, maybe? :) ) I added Sigrun's notes, because she's the main protagonist of the next part.
The idea is that she found the old map and used it to organize the space.
So I went and studied how caverns form in that area and got a few maps as inspiration and I really enjoyed doing it, and I thought that you may like it too.
Here it is. below I'll put the "original" map without notes.

Grey, the map is brilliant. I adore maps. My dad showed me a topo map of the area around the family cottage when I was... 7-ish? I was enthralled. Before long I was inventing my own places and drawing maps, quite often with very complex topography of double-peaked hills, lakes on mountains, deeply cut coastlines with steep headlands, and so on. My mum looked over my shoulder at one of these creations and said, "Nice, but mountains just don't look like that." Years later I was out exploring my new home in western Newfoundland and it struck me... Mum was wrong, this landscape is just the sort of thing I would have come up with as a kid! Looking forward to reading your story.
Post by: Mebediel on April 30, 2020, 10:50:27 PM
Maps are super cool, Grey! I love the annotations to the map...seeing it both with and without the notes highlights the different ways in which maps can be used/how spaces can mean different things in different contexts, I think.
Post by: GaelleDragons on May 01, 2020, 04:49:03 AM
Jitter, yes, that could work! Though I think I prefer wavewright 's idea (I'm a bit rusty on Norse mythology too, but I think Odin had two ravens that acted kind of like his eyes or something like that...^^"). But let's leave it up to interpretation! x)
Keep Looking, thanks! I love this kind of knotwork, and I think it's kind of magic in the sense that it looks chaotic, but in reality it is incredibly logical. I had to draw from reference pictures for all the knotwork, because I just couldn't figure out how to make it look good without using references! ^^"
Grey, those maps are super cool! Another thing I never tried do draw but suddenly have the urge to!
I love all the details you put in them, and the research that must've gone into it. ^^
Post by: Mariiii on May 01, 2020, 07:04:01 AM
Grey, these maps are so cool ! They remind me of the maps that you can find at the beginning of some books (usually fantasy books), I always liked these maps because they really help to visualize the place like you said, and it helps you enter in the universe of the story. Your maps make me curious about what is inside the Maze, I'd like to read your story when it's finished !

Vulpes, I see that we share a passion for maps (and the topography ones are fantastic. The person that invented contour lines was a genius). I have the luck to use them all the time in my work :) The young Vulpes had a good chance to end up in Engineering or Architecture...
Gaelle, I tried to create a map once, before this, for a story (outside SSSS) that I didn't developed (yet?) but it was so huge and detailed that I got lost. It was a big island (NZ size) and soon I was creating roads, climate areas, vegetation, rivers, commercial routes (both by land and sea), cities, history... You see the picture :D
I'm sure that you will make an amazing map with your talent as soon as you try. And then please share it with us.
Mebediel, you're right. After all a map is a tool, and you can use a tool in different ways. The base map in informative, while Sigrun's notes are practical, from someone that doesn't care much for the details and want to solve the problem of organizing that space for a purpose.
Gaelle yes, Odin%u2019s ravens are Hugin and Muninn (Thought and Memory) and they make him not quite as blind as he could otherwise be, having given his eyes in exchange for wisdom.
This means you must draw another one :emil:
I believe that Odin traded just one eye for wisdom... But the ravens did worked as his "spies", IIRC

Indeed I could have! The pull was stronger towards understanding the living world, though. Dad was an electrical engineer, maybe that made the idea of engineering a bit stressful - he had very high standards. As an ecologist I often have to design and build my own equipment, because what I need either doesn't exist or is prohibitively expensive, and I really enjoy doing so. And I get to use topo maps when I do field research, so lots of opportunities to indulge those other interests.

I was going to include a link to the original screenshot, but it's a very hefty link, and I haven't yet figured out how to put a link into text. We'll get there!
If you´re still wondering about that, here´s how you can do it: (we probably have an official explanation somewhere, but I can´t find it right now. To see what exactly I did click "quote" on my post, then all the code(is that what you call it?) I used is visible.)
As an example link I used the one to our new Forum index, where the official explanation probably is somewhere, so also a good link to check out for forum-questions. :D
You click "insert hyperlink" as usual: , then you add [url=]] (http://[/url), then you add (http://) and now you have to copy the link here: and can write text where the link would usually be (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=1157.0). (This looks so weird without the code... :'D)
And Lallicat, please do post the characters if you want to! I really enjoyed the few drawings you posted so far.
Huh, I never really paid attention to this thread until now, but scrolling even a little it backwards tells me I´ve been missing out bigtime! All the things here are amazing!
Post by: thegreyarea on November 11, 2020, 10:38:46 AM
Lallicat, please don't be shy! You already know how we are, don't you? ;)
Mirasol, I still haven't got the grip with that link + text part... But I'll try to follow your tip. Thanks. And you are right, this thread has some amazing things!
Post by: Annuil on November 11, 2020, 01:51:01 PM
Ronnie, I like your style and the atmosphere of your work... Great stuff! ;)
Yes! Lallicat, please share your talent, we’d love to see it :))
Okey, so, since yesterday I’ve done some drawing practice, I can probably share it here ;D
I was working on my animal drawing skills, particularly horses, so here we go (my favourite OneDrive links):

And another one with the horse but this one I couldn’t keep that sketchy-grey palette anymore and added colors digitally:
https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsSnHPIBASO_tnyuMIFNp8YXvDLf
The elf-guy that appears on the last two drawings is actually my own character from the stories I write, his name is Nicklis ;)
P.S. I don’t know if it’s okey, but I didn’t add any warnings, even though there is that naked torso, I hope it doesn’t violate the rules... O_O

Hero Squad by Stumpt on YT is a lovely one, and the first one I listened to! They're also on Spotify.
Critical Role (Also on YT, and spotify) is a much larger one, and one that takes much longer to get caught up on, but if you have the time, I highly recommend it. If you're going to start I advise starting on Campaign 2!
The Adventure Zone is a podcast made by the McElroy family, and is much looser in terms of rules, but very fun! The first arc, Balance, is my personal favorite. You can find them on Spotify!
Realms Apart is a campaign on YT that just got started but that I'm already very much enjoying. Another one I'd recommend!
Right, that got a bit off-topic. Whoops! Anyways uhhh ART! Yayyyyy!

The first two drawings are the main characters in a story I’m writing with a friend, and the second is maybe the narrator. She’s still in the concept stage, so she might be scrapped. Thank you all for getting me to post here, and if you have any feedback I’d really appreciate it ^-^.

May I ask a question? Do they dye their hair or is it naturally that color? Just wondering ;)
Also, thanks, guys, for all the kind comments!

Annuil, my characters are elves, so naturally I couldn’t pass up the chance of giving them natural funky hair colors ::) :PFun! Yes, Lallicat, you have to grab such an opportunity of playing with the hair color! ;D
(Unless you’re me, who is pro-natural-hair-color-person, my elves are boring this way, but they still have magic hair that doesn’t get tangled as bad as human’s hair would :'D)
And I like your idea with the chokers! That’s a great way to show the status.
I usually use the different types of clothing for that, the higher the position of the person - the richer the clothes are... in a way ;)

You click "insert hyperlink" as usual: , then you add [url=]] (http://[/url), then you add (http://) and now you have to copy the link here: and can write text where the link would usually be (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=1157.0). (This looks so weird without the code... :'D)
Oh no, I just realized it somehow changed the code! (How did that happen???) Let me try again:
So when you click hyperlink, this appears:[url] into it you add this sign: [ url= ] (without breaks, that´s just so it´s still visibe here) and copy the link behind it inside of the brackets [ url=link ]. Then you can write between these brackets:[ url=link ]Hi there![ /url ]
And thank you for the recommendations, Ronnie! I think I´ve heard of a few of them, I should definitly check those out.
I´m really enjoying all those elf (and horses)-drawings!
Annuil, wow, the horse´s proportions are getting better and better with each drawing! I love how realistic they look! And your elf-boy´s design is beautiful as well!
Lallicat, I really enjoy the funky hair-colors (yes, one should absolutely take advantage of the magic-hair aspect of elves *looks at own pile of elf-drawings with multicolored hair*, though I then always feel like it´s too unrealistic and recolor them with natural haircolors... It´s stupid, I know. :'D (I feel like I need to add here that having elves with natural haircolors can make just as great designs, I´m just a person who likes to cover everything in... lots of bright colors...)) That´s a really cool idea with the chokers! So far I´ve shown status in my stories sort of by clothing, like Annuil does, but having a certain detail as an indicator is also a really nice idea!

I came up with his character and his look way before I read SSSS, but he still has something
Speaking of costumes and people’s social status! Here is a sketch on my character costumes (more of racial difference in the costume of each character, not exactly status):
https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsSnHPIBASO_tn9zUPEvP__XNlvL
(“E” in the word “Elviy” is supposed to sound hard, like in the “elf”, hope that makes sense! So hard to translate names from Russian!)
Actually, the red-haired guy from the previous drawings is the second on the left, he has a little different appearance here (and long hair ;D :sparkle:)
Post by: Jitter on November 16, 2020, 05:56:28 PM
Both the features and the clothes are very fine!
I assume you mean to write Elviy, not Elvis in your message?
Post by: Annuil on November 16, 2020, 06:21:19 PM
Haha, yeah, I made up races who’s average hight is pretty big, and no, he doesn’t have wings. This type of elves is wingless and they also have darker skin color, than the elves of Orlind.
Their hight didn’t fit on the page when I was editing it, so the highest of them (the one from Taere) is 241 centimeters and the shortest one (the fairy) is 156 centimeters, so the human is about 180.

Actually it looks quite fine, I didn’t really see the strips until you said it, so I think you did pretty well with markers ;)
I can see the stripes and they drive me crazy.
Because one of our kids likes coloring, I copy any pencil drawings. This gave me the opportunity to color it a second time with pastels. So here is a not stripy version:
(https://moredhel.is-a-geek.net/rose-pastels.png)
For better comparability i used the exact same paper, again 3 colors for the green part and one color for the pinkish part.

(One drive link because I figured out that since I don’t post this art anywhere else I don’t have the right link to do it into an image here, sorry..)
Here are two main couples in the story I’m currently writing, their names are Nicklis and Dina (“i” is hard in this name, more like an “e” sound), you’ve met Nicklis already on my horse-sketches and here is his greatest companion in life, his wife Dina ;)
The other two are Orlando and Ennil’ (it’s a soft “l’” sound), Orlando is a really fun character to write about because he is that crazy genius musician who doesn’t always act normally... and his wife Ennil’ is just perfect for handling his craziness.
I have been drawing a lot lately, I had a million-sketches-a-day inspiration and also a writing inspiration, so it’s tearing me apart and it’s crazy! Well, there we go, hope you enjoy my elvish couples :D :reynir:

Yes, Mirasol, I still do the line-art but, since this is a digital drawing, I have several layers and I do the coloring over the line-art: draw the outline with the same color as I want that part to be and just “dump” the color in there...
This turned out to be a strange description, so here is the link to a video of me drawing it (it’s pretty bad quality, but at least you can see the process :D)

I’m glad it is useful to you! I love line-less artworks too, in a way it is easier to make, because you don’t have to do detailed shadowing, but line-less art has to have a strong concept to be good :))
Here is one other artwork of mine of this style:
https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsSnHPIBASO_tw0aY69zBdPB0lui
(For some reason the image doesn’t fit on a screen, so zoom out to see the full size)
It’s sort of a summary of Nicklis as a character throughout my stories. I want to do more of these about other characters I have but since Nicklis is the easiest character for me to draw, he is always the first one to be drawn in a new style hehe >:D

Annuil, I don´t know anything about swordfighting that surpasses what buttons to press in a videogame (usually not even that...) but composition-wise your sketch is really good to follow. I also enjoy the different angles you drew to show the situation.

I have only one little-tiny thing that I want to say about it and I hope you’re okey with a bit of critic/advice...
so, the shape of the birds’ wings usually goes a little differently, there have to be more feathers on the part of the wing closer to the body, they almost have to touch the starting of the tail ;)
Here are some pictures to show it a little better than my messy description:

Oh that looks great, birds are one of my favorite things to draw (I’ll post one later). I have heard of using knives to sharpen pencils, but I do not think I am coordinated enough for that.You know what? I have a war with pencil sharpeners because for some reason every single pencil sharpener broke or became dull once I started using it! So, I use only a knife to sharpen my pencils (it’s a bit messy though and also takes a little longer to do the sharpening but it’s not that hard to handle). I wish a knew the magic of being at peace with regular sharpeners!
(Good thing is you truly don’t need to worry about the size of the pencil once you have a knife)) :D

I mean, you can, but it’s not going to be useful as far as sharpening the pencil

I have a similar war, just the other way round. Whenever I try to sharpen any pencil with a sharpener, the lead of the pencil breaks. I solved this problem for a while by begging other people to do it for me, but have now also resolved to just sharpening them with a knife. The not-worrying-about-the-pencil-size-aspect though is a really great one, as I use absolutely every pencil-shaped-thing to color that I can find that is in a shade I don´t have yet.

@Mirasol it is a fantasy bird. Just took the pencil and improvised.

Yes, I don’t think you can do it in any other direction :'DActually it is, as long as you're not going to rest the tip on your face (or your chest or whatever else encourages not to have the blade travel all the way to the tip). There are certain specialized tasks in the wide field of woodcarving where cutting towards you officially is The Proper Way™, to the point of the tools being specifically built to be "pull knives". Not that pencil sharpening were one of those, but.
I mean, you can, but it’s not going to be useful as far as sharpening the pencil
I have a similar war, just the other way round. Whenever I try to sharpen any pencil with a sharpener, the lead of the pencil breaks.You might want to try
- softer leads (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pencil#Grading_and_classification) (which helps only so much, but still)
- stop applying pressure pushing the pencil into the sharpener once it has been sharpened to the point of having a mostly-formed point (then the blade will have enough contact to the sides of the tip-to-be that just twisting will remove further material sufficiently fast)
- sharpeners that will hold and guide the pencil themselves (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pencil_sharpener#Cylindrical_(planetary)_sharpeners), if everything else fails

Oh, and I also loved to learn about the dog saint! One more amazing thing that I discovered here :)
Moredhel, your bird is excellent! I believe I saw this kind of long tail in some mythological bird, but can't recall where...
I prefer to do my pencils with a knife (usually a cutter) because it allows to create an asymmetric tip. But it takes much more time, and sometimes the tip breaks :( and I have to go back to the beginning...
Post by: Annuil on January 09, 2021, 11:55:50 AM
Yeah, that’s what happens to me too way too many times when I need to sharpen a pencil, but I really like the advantage of shaping the pencil the way I feel most comfortable ;D

May have been a 鳳凰 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenghuang (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenghuang) but they are very colorful. So it does not fit my bird.
I wasn't thinking much about colour, but general configuration, particularly the tail. I didn't found exactly what I wanted (some medieval tapestry, I believe) but here's one reference (see the upper bird)
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/af/Albertus_Seba_-_Birds_of_Paradise%2C_Paradisaeidae_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg)
It's a drawing by Albertus Seba (1665 - 1736), a German Artist showing a bird-of-paradise (cicinnurus regius). They have this peculiar tail and sometimes artists exaggerated it. Notice how the wings also resemble your drawing.
And now I noticed that Róisín already pointed that similarity :)
Post by: Purple Wyrm on January 09, 2021, 09:48:36 PM
That looks awesome, Purple Wyrm! I’m always so bad at finding those tiny references, especially if I’m not really familiar with the content, but I like your idea!
Thank you!
I realize that you're thinking of "Mostbest" and "Lessbest", and count them as a single one, but I also see "Mandrenke" and immediately think of the Grote Mandränke (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Marcellus%27s_flood), the Frisian/Saxon term for the worst historical storm flood(s*) in the North Sea.
(*) Depending on your sources, there may be between one and three (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandr%C3%A4nke) of them on record.
Nicely spotted JoB! Mandrenke is indeed a reference to the flood (or floods). I wanted to name one of the planets after a historical town lost to the sea and vaguely remembered the story of one built on a sandbar on England's North Sea coast. So I looked it up and found it was called Ravenser Odd (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravenser_Odd), which is great because I was going for a bit of a Scandinavian feel and Ravenser comes from the Old Norse Hrafn's Eyr "Raven's Tongue".
The Wikipedia page mentions the town's final destruction in the Grote Mandränke, and I found "Mandränke" such an evocative word that I decided to include it as well!
And yes, the specific SSSS reference was "Mostbest" :)
Wyrm, that's great! I don't know much about the subject, but I presume that it will serve as a board map, right? It's very well done, really impressive, and I guess JoB already gave the right answer.
Is "Abrolhos" a reference to the little archipelago near Brazil's coast? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrolhos_Archipelago
Oh, and I also loved to learn about the dog saint! One more amazing thing that I discovered here :)
I'm a big fan of the dog saint and folk saints (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folk_saint) in general, I'm fascinated by how religions drift off in their own directions when the authorities aren't watching :)
Abrolhos is actually a reference to the archipelago off the Western Australian coast (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houtman_Abrolhos), and is one of several Western Australian references hidden in the map. I didn't realise there was another Abrolhos out there, but it since it basically means "look out or you'll get wrecked" it makes sense!
The map is basically world building for my own satisfaction :)
Purple Wyrm, all your WH40k art here is awesome! I don’t know much of the lore, but I do know your visuals are spot on! My family plays, or would occasionally play if the play area wouldn’t be so huge.
Thank you! I love the 40k aesthetic so was trying really hard to imitate the combination of sci-fi and gothic.

Vector drawings are made with objects (such as lines, arcs and circles) that are defined by coordinates and functions. Many softwares use that, like Corel Draw, Inkscape or more specialized things like CAD software (AutoCAD, Revit, etc...). But when we create a line or a circle in a word processor (Microsoft Word) or in a presentation software (Powerpoint) we are also creating a vectorial object. So you probably already did that many times. :)
By opposition our hand-made drawings aren't defined by any numbers or functions. When you draw a line it's "more or less" straight, depending of your ability, and a circle is approximately round, but as you know well it's not perfect.
So in a vectorial drawing a line will be a vector between two coordinates (x and y, and z if you want to go tridimensional), let's say a line from point 1,1 to point 3,4.
That line will be absolutely straight (because you said that you want a line) and, more important, it will remain the same whatever the scale you look at it.
If you want a circle in the end of the that line you can say: Circle with center on point 3,4 and radius of 2. That circle will be a perfect circle.
Vectorial objects also allow us to modify them (move, scale, rotate) without loosing anything in their nature, which is great. And you can also copy them as much as you want.
Purple Wyrm circles are, I'm quite sure, all the same size, with the same border width. And the lines that connect them are all similar too.
So vectorial is great for a lot of things. The only "setback" is that when you draw freely you don't have to be defining everything, the drawing just flows. It's not perfect but most times its much more expressive and natural.
I hope I helped! :reynir:

I had wondered where the French dog saint came from. Interesting that it is related to the Welsh Gelert tale, which I know and tell.
And what's amazing is that the oldest known version of the story comes from India, and is about a faithful mongoose!
Great rundown of vector graphics there Grey. The big advantage from my point of view is the scalability. Because everything's defined mathematically you can enlarge and shrink the image as much as you like without affecting the quality at all. Also because every bit of the image is an independent object it's really easy to move things around and adjust them to get them looking just how you like.
The downside - as mentioned - is that it's a more clinical and less 'artistic' process. I get around this when necessary by doing all the layout in a vector program, exporting a raster (non-vector) image and playing around with that in Photoshop.

I actually also finally have something to show here : My dad arranged the music of the Phantom of the Opera for us and some friends we often meet up with to play music together (three violins, one viola, one piano) and asked me to draw a cover for it. I based it on pictures of different playbills of the musical I found online. (Almost no straight lines either, often much to my dismay... That´s why the strings have no strings... ^^")The main reason I want to show it though is because I practiced drawing without lines on it:

Nice drawing, Annuil, the shading turned out really nice! (Say, did you also get your hands on the colored pencils of the magic-variety?)Ahah! Well, my cousin always says I have some sort of a magical staff that I pull out from under the table each time I have to draw :'D so I just apply this magic to the pencils and they work quite well! Though, I think every artist has some sort of a staff under the table, because people create such a great amount of beautiful works!
Also, I forgot to say more thanks for the kind comments!
And, Mirasol, that’s so fun! I always admire people who can play violin. It’s something so awesome and incomprehensible for me that some human beings have the gift to understand music so well... :)

I know, that´s not really what I meant. I for some reason thought it wouldn´t really count as anything else than a copy because I just basically redrew the Playbill... Now that I write this down it sounds stupid... I might have been overthinking it a little. ^^"

Their story was written while I was on a camping trip with my family through Scandinavia, mostly by Norway and it’s beautiful fjords <3

Portuguese is not easy, but is very rich. I have a friend that says Russian and European Portuguese "sound" very similar. Not the words, that are completely different, but the way things are pronounced. Maybe that's why. Ah, to be correct I meant "Nelia" and not "Nela". The word "nela" exists, but is not a name.
I saw your site. it looks good, but I couldn't find any translation option... Am I missing something?
Post by: Annuil on January 19, 2021, 11:48:45 AM
I've already thought it was digital because the strokes are very uniform and the background is absolutely plain. I also see that Procreate is an apple thing... so not my thing :)Yeah, I should add some texture to the background to make it look a little more atmospheric :D

Huh, that’s very interesting! Russian and Portuguese are from different language branches, so it makes it even more fascinating why they sound alike. Even some other Slavic languages sound a lot different than Russian.
Thanks... that’s strange, usually when you open the website on a foreign device it automatically suggests you to translate it... are you using Google or something else? Because the translation option might be only the Google thing :-\
(I’ll work on making a specific translation button on the website itself some time, because more and more people who do not know Russian ask me to share it) ;)

Because the translation option might be only the Google thing :-\Yes, when I opened it with Chrome the browser asked if I wanted it in Russian or English. :) That doesn't happen on Opera (my main browser) or Firefox, so it's a Google thing. (And it's an awesome thing, even if one can see its limitations)

If you have some time it would be really nice to have the site (properly) translated, even if initially the stories remain in Russian.
Anyway let me tell again that you are a very talented person! :)

Because the translation option might be only the Google thing :-\I just checked using the latest version of MS Edge, and it offered a translation that was at least adequate (though sometimes silly). I haven't read the stories yet: just the home and about pages.

Thanks for the kind words!
I like the story as far as i read it. The automated translation is sometimes weird but not that bad I hope.Yyh... I wonder how did it translate all the names... Goodness, I only hope Google understood me, which it might not have :'D O_O
Edit: I managed to translate it and the google translation is just AWFUL and crazy! I'm sorry, I cannot recommend reading it through this translation, it just ruined my texts. Completely! Oh, Google... I'll find a way to make a proper translation O_o
Post by: moredhel on January 19, 2021, 05:58:19 PM
Yay! yes, I really have to make a proper translation. Now I cannot make my own computer to translate the site :'D just to see what you, guys, actually see ;D
Thanks for the kind words! Yyh... I wonder how did it translate all the names... Goodness, I only hope Google understood me, which it might not have :'D O_O
The names are translated horribly. Sometimes I see artifacts of a english to german translation in the names what is just weird. But the result is much more a consistent text than for polish or korean inputs.
I am sure it eliminates anything beautiful or poetic in a Text. But as my techer once said I will stay a wild troll from the woods without any sense for poetry forever.

I actually got inspired after all this and wrote a few pages of “proper translation” for the first chapter of the first story, I might publish it on the website so you can at least get an example of my writing without it being damaged by the artificial intelligence :D

Thankfully art is international! So I don’t have to translate that!
There is some kind of readership for Russian-language stories on Archive of Our Own; I've seen several SSSS stories there. I can only pick a stray word here and there, alas, and enough to pick characters' names, but not enough to follow.Fascinating! I should look there ;) Heh, that’s me with Finnish. My sister received “the Hobbit” in Finnish translation for her birthday and I had a chance to glance into that book... I understood the word ”Hän”! which means “he/she/it” :'D
Archive has a lot of contributions from Russian fans, both art and writing. I haven’t enough Russian to really follow (most of the little I have is the names of plants, rocks and culinary things plus terms out of folklore), but some of the art is good.Yeah, that’s probably one of the rear things that I’m proud of about Russian people, is that they draw well :) Russian academy of art truly does make them learn to draw magnificently. People usually don’t “go” through the academy of art in Russia, they “survive” the academy :'D
And that survival makes them masters at their works.
I’m not saying that anyone else is bad in art, it’s just that Russian artists are one of the good ones (at least some of them).
(Sorry for a super-long post...)

She's supposed to be shaper (alchemist of some sorts). She's been busy saving the lost souls since some ancient evil creature shattered the barrier between the living and the dead. Her name is Tulya, and I based her off the Swan of Tuonela. She's much less grumpy though, just a bit unsocialized maybe :D

Aww, moredhel, your second kitty is adorable as well! I can only second everyone´s compliments on the face. If you don´t mind me critiquing though, the legs and feet seem a bit out of proportion. I´m not really sure what it is, but something looks off... Maybe they are a bit too small? (Sorry, anatomy isn´t my strongest suit either...) Otherwise it looks great though! You really nailed the texture of the fur too!
Annuil, your picture is beautiful as well! Especially their hair looks stunning! I opened your website, but when I saw the horrible crimes against language my browser´s translator commited on just the first page I decided to not go further... But now I´m also really excited for your translation!
And nefnef, your piece is so beautiful too! How did you make those water-reflections? They look really cool! Is there a story in the works about this character?
Post by: Sevseres on January 21, 2021, 10:11:21 AM
and Mirasol, thank you as well :) For the reflections, I just flipped the layer and played with opacities/layer types/faded areas until it they looked bearable. And for the character, she's one of the side characters in a story I'll probably never get anywhere with haha :'D Other than what I already wrote about the soul saving and all, she's from this world where the sun and the moon have spirits that move them across the sky. And those spirits get tired and nap a little each hundred years or so. So some humans team up and go wake them up which is a very celebratory thing for all humans. She was one of the heroes of the last cycle which didn't end very well. It ended with sun going into some sort of an eternal coma instead of waking up, caused the planet to become tidally locked and basically brought apocalypse. After some shenanigans regarding the ancient evil creature thing, she zaps into thousands of years in the future where one side of the planet is a snowy wasteland while the other is a sunny wasteland. Oh and there are some nightmare incarnates roaming around for some reason. Anyway, she now lives isolated in the night pole and carries on this soul saving job. Hope that wasn't terribly long!

In the Finnish mythology, the Swan isn’t really the keeper of souls, in the Kalevala it just swims in the river of Tuonela (the underworld of the dead) and is untouchable, one of the “impossible heroics” in the story is shooting it.
Our “ferryman” is actually a girl, Tuonen tytti (daughter of Tuoni) who rows the dead across the River of Tuonela. Her job is to make sure that only the dead get to go across, and Väinämöinen argues with her on his way to Tuonela after some words of wisdom (getting out was another story). So, she’s a very suitable character to play this part! Did you know, or is it a coincidence?

No way! I had no idea. I only know the swan from SSSS and assumed she was the keeper :O It's so hard to find good documentary about the Finnish mythology on the internet :( Are these all in Kalevala? I have to read it now! In the story Tulya really is just trying to make sure the poor souls don't come back and end up as creepy ghosts, but this still is an awesome coincidence :D

Furthermore the oral tradition he and others collected was at the time from people who had lived with Christianity and as Christians for generations. So, a lot of what we have now is pretty close to being made up. In addition to the oral collectors’ archives, there are some descriptions from an earlier time where priests describe the horrible pagan beliefs and wrong gods the Finns respected at the time. Those are obviously very biased :) but they describe the situation from a closer moment in time.
There is a religious community of the ancient Finnish faith, the Karhun Kansa, and they consider Kalevala to be interesting fiction. I have tried to find out about their actual beliefs and it seems they are more or less neopagan, they don’t have strict rules, texts or rituals but rather have the view that each person will find the connection to the spirits/gods/powers in a way that suits that person. Alternatively, they just say this in interviews and actually do have elaborate rituals! But their celebrations are open to others too, so I find it unlikely that they would keep secret bear mass in hiding :) I may be wrong, I don’t personally know any of them (and they are very few, only a couple dozen actual members).

Mirasol , thank you! You all inspired me, so I'll try to do the translation as good as possible. My problem is that I feel so much more confident when I write in Russian that it feels really bad once I try to do it in English, especially when the lack of words in my English vocabulary shows up. :-\

Thank you Vulpes ! Those are all correct, I see you're a bird lover as well :D
Yes, I like watching birds and knowing what I'm looking at (sort of... I get annoyed with all the little warblers that look the same) but I'm not a "twitcher" who will jump in the car and drive 200 km to see a small drab bird in a bush. I enjoy seeing relative rarities, like the beautiful northern shrike that's been terrorizing the juncos, chickadees and nuthatches that hang out in the yard, or the huge Caspian tern that flew down the lake one day.
Your comment was helpful. It assured me my impression of the legs was right.
Just say it's a kitten - that's what I assumed you were drawing! :))
To me the head looks relatively large, the legs and tail short, and the belly plump, all of which say "kitten!" to me. That said, the proportions are still a little off... perhaps the relative size of eyes and ears to head isn't quite right for a kitten. Also, you did a great job of conveying soft fur - another reason I figured you were drawing a kitten. :)

“Red Fox in a Fur Hat”:
https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsSnHPIBASO_v3rvVxRcryg6HrZL
It’s also Nicklis from my own stories... I know, my elves wear Russian fur hats, but at least it’s easier to hide their long ears from the low temperatures of their lands and survive through the winter without the frostbites once you have such a hat! :'D

I have a fur hat and I would not say that it’s that hard to hear when you wear it. Once you put the “ears” of the hat to the back, like on my drawing, you can hear pretty well, still not as clear as without a hat obviously. But it depends on the hat also :'D
Annuil as always your watercolours are really great. And in my opinion frostbytes are a real danger for long ears without a hat.Thanks! True-true, however some elves are too proud to wear hats, so frostbite is the only thing that making them to do it :'D

Your sketches are awesome, Wave! I´m amazed how many details you got by just looking at people for a really short time!
pssst: I am lucky in that none of these people would likely recognise themselves, as genuinely capturing the actual details, such as contours of noses and faces, is beyond my capability in this instance. The bald guy in black half-hidden in the back was the only one who actually saw what I was doing. Scared the p**s out of me by coming up to me on my flank and talking to me - turns out he's a security guard at the venue. Cheeky guy asked me where he was, and at least I could point at him, but he didn't seem too impressed by that placement. Tough luck buddy!

Thank you but also, sorry. I wondered whether posting these was sort of ...rubbing it in. Things are different around here, we are aware that a breakout can happen at any time, but by and large we've worked bl**dy hard to get here. The Folk Festival had absolutely no international acts, for instance, as our borders have been shut for a year (fortunately there's plenty of NZ talent).No-no, Wave! It's a good sadness, remembering the good times, even with a teardrop sliding down the cheek6 it still feels good. At least for me. I looove to be sad. It brings me inspiration. ;D

The simplicity of the background bothers me personally not much, but I do agree with Vulpes on the point that the color you used for it doesn´t show up anywhere else in the picture. Maybe you could use another light shade of grey or something purple-ish instead of something entirely new. (though wait, correct me if I´m wrong, but is it the same color as that of the highlights in the necklace?)
But overall you´ve improved a lot since the last picture you posted! Good job, and welcome back! :)
Post by: Annuil on February 07, 2021, 01:36:47 PM
The color palette, like other people said, is nice, though I agree with Mirasol’s description about the background. Beautiful neckless and the eyes, but I would have made the eyes a little bigger/more visible. The necklace takes too much attention on it, though it’s not that bad ;)
That’s my thoughts. Sorry for the critique, but I hope it helped you in a way. Really nice work! ;D

I named it “Friendship”, cause these are Orlando and Nicklis, the two great friends. They knew each other since they were seven years old and since they are elves that frendship lasted for many centuries ;)
That’s also the way I feel for the last two days, just needed to draw something sweet and about friends. :)

My assignment was matched on The Queen's Thief series, which I have just recently discovered (and highly recommend for lovers of fiction). I concocted a silly tableau of the main characters going 'hunting'.

I thought I could do better with Eddis, and tried with traditional media. A gift for Kiraly.

And another silly one, one for the Girl Genius fandom, and gifted to Unlos. These three are all badass fighters, who also share a love of cake. Maybe that shared passion will help divert their energies away from annihilation when the inevitable confrontation occurs?

Your pictures look really good too, Wave! I especially like the one in the middle! The colors are blended really well! Did you draw it with pastels?
(I´m not exactly familiar with any of the fandoms these pieces were for, so I can´t really comment on that aspect ^^")
Post by: wavewright62 on February 22, 2021, 03:47:46 PM
Well spotted, Wave! "Glycon" comes from the same root as Glycogen, and more or less means "The Sweet One". Hence "Sweetie" :D
Seriously?! Here I thought I was being an insufferable punster, and it's blimmin' canon?
And thank you, Mirasol, that one was done with pastel pencils. The set already limits the palette.
I'm still not completely happy with it; I'm already spoilt for the reworking possible with digital media. I sneakily swapped over revisions until the release, at which point I left it alone, but think it still needs work.
(The GG one was a doodle that I decided to colour as an afterthought.)

Oooh, This looks really cool! Glycon´s scales turned out really well, Wyrm! (I know that´s a very specific detail, but I draw dragons a lot and scales are my personal arch-nemesis. These look really good!)

If you want it to become a cult and not mistaken as ads, translate it into something other than a locally-frequent language.I guess you're right. But Latin is probably the best choice for anything "esotheric", don't you agree?Spoiler: show
"Glycon defendat nos pestilentia nubibus" sounds quite ominous, :) and the similarities between Latin and Portuguese allow translation without a much effort:
"Glycon defende-nos das pestilentas nuvens"
(usualy we have substantive-adjective (so it would be "nuvens pestilentas"), but reversing the order is also correct, particularly in written form).
Post by: Groupoid on February 27, 2021, 08:39:36 AM
Anyhow, using Latin it sounds even more like you’re advertising for a cult and spreading prayers. :)
Post by: thegreyarea on February 27, 2021, 09:17:02 AM
I think you changed the mode in your Latin translation. Your Latin says (as far as I can tell) "Glycon defends us ...", instead of "Glycon defend us ..." which would be "Glycon defende nos ...". I can’t tell anything about "pestilentia nubibus", I don’t know Latin well enough.I think you're right. I don't know much Latin... Them it would be even closer to Portuguese:
Anyhow, using Latin it sounds even more like you’re advertising for a cult and spreading prayers. :)
"Glycon defende nos pestilentia nubibus"
But I found that you could also have: "Glycon pestilens tueantur nubibus".
I don't know enough to tell which is more appropriate in that context. I'm using my vague knowledge together with an dictionary :)
Pestilentia=plague, Pestilens=pestilential, unhealthy, unwholesome, tueantur=to guard, defend, protect, nubibus=clouds (plural, sing: nubes)
And yes, the idea here would be advertising for a cult as Wyrm suggested >:D Now to find a suitable cave to hold the secret meetings...

The reason for drawing it is quite sad. My Grandma died lat tuesday. It was not a surprise she was diagnosed with pancreas cancer in late september. She then organized her funeral. And she decided that the biodegradable paint it yourself urn is hers. She said "my children, grandchildren and grand-grandchildren are all creative they will paint it". We were there last week to see her a last time and to help my mom because 24 hour care is nothing a single person can do alone.
My wife painted a butterfly on the urn and our kids and me painted cooperatively a lizard. Lizard were her favourite animals and nobody drew one.
I drew this lizard to remind me of her and for practicing to draw a lizard.

The urn is really great when I die I want one of these too. The outside is like cardboard an any paint and pencil we tried on it worked. There was a set of paint included, but we din't use it at all. As my mom said, we want something non toxic for the babys and something with more pigment in it for everyone else. She had bought a set of acrylic paint, but everyone who paints regulary brought spontaneously his own materials. Because only the stuff you work with best is appropriate for grannys urn. And it has now a mixture of paintings in different styles and techniques and food prints of the grand-grandchildren too young to paint.

The painted urn is a fine idea, with all the contributions surely made it unique and memorable.
As my mom told me on the phone the urn is very unique. My grandma wanted to be buried on her birthday in july. So the urn must be stored. Because german law is complicated, the family can not do that.
My mom now told me that the undertaker told her, if anyone wants to see our grandma, we should not go to his shop, we should go around the house to the back door. He lives there and he said the urn will not go to the storage room, It will be on the mantelpiece.

Here in Australia a painted biodegradable (cardboard or light wood) coffin is more usual for people who can’t spend a fortune on mahogany caskets and fancy fitments and who want the burial to be less hard on the land.. It can be either buried or cremated. When a friend and colleague died a few years ago I was asked to sing at her funeral, and while I sang both several of her favourite songs and a dirge I had made for her the young people of her family and whoever else needed to do so painted her coffin most beautifully. It was lovely to see, and what she would have wanted. That kind of family sharing can be a huge help in families bearing the loss of a valued family member.
And the lizard is a very nice touch, and suitable to the occasion, being a creature symbolic of regeneration, and of the sun.

The bottle looks like the one in the link. So it may have been plum wine in it. (I am not an expert, for me everything with more alcohol than a banana tastes like a paint thinner).
My wife says we need mor of these bottles at least one for every season. She is a big fan of not throwing things away so there is a chance of more chinese food. ^-^

I'm trying to hoard sources regularly posting curated selections of portraits that would be suitable for sketching. I'm partial to historical stuff because it's fun and because they tend to be both grayscale and washed out, removing confusing values transitions that I'm not ready to deal with yet. As an example of what I'm looking for there's this tumblr (vintage-sweden (https://vintage-sweden.tumblr.com/)). It's awesome but understandably too homogeneous. I've found other sources but they also post a lot of objects and stuff that end clogging up my dashboard. :/
The context: I'm an artist who has been doing it for quite a while and once made a career out of digital painting, yet I used to be really uncomfortable at sketching. I even have this pile of blank sketchbooks I never dared to touch because it felt like defacing them! About a week ago several pieces about what caused me to struggle so much and how to work around it clicked into place. I can't get enough of sketching right now! Since I'm focusing on people I need a random selection to do daily sketches to get really comfortable with it before focusing on accuracy and other weak points.
Just to say I posted something... Oh, and there's a good reason for all these skulls, I swear! ::)

Whaa, thank you, that's a great help! Both have good photos, though I loved the r/TheWayWeWere in special due its many "Hey guys look at this neat photo of my grandparent!" portraits.

These drawings are great. There are two obvious good reasons, 1. it helps painting faces. 2. painting a skull from time to time is fun.
You're onto it. Under every face there's a skull—I mean under every one of these sketched faces. 8)
One of the major issues I had when drawing people was mislaying features. People always recommend Loomis or Bridgman for the structure of the head but I was never able to place features correctly over their dry line landmarks. Heads wound up two times bigger than intended, features swam on the face and slid sideways. By the time I reached the ears the rest was hopelessly misshapen. I was sure this happened because I was lazy and undisciplined and clearly wasn't trying hard enough to plan my drawings. Turns out I might have some aphantasia going on. Aphantasia is the inability to visualize things in your mind.
I realized a big chunk of the population can actually see things in their minds a couple of years ago, yet only now I grasped how it affects the way I (didn't) draw. Sometimes I'd get asked things like "How do you transpose the character you imagined to the artwork?" and internally I'd go "?!?! What do you mean? There's nothing in my head". I barely sketch before painting, I just throw odd lines, blobs of color and feel my way; I've always described my struggle with lineart as "I can't see volume in the lines". In hindsight even the language I used hinted at the issue: I have a hard time visualizing where I should place the lines, haha!
This is where the skulls come in. The main features I need from them—eye sockets, temples, cheekbones, etc—are strongly tied to each other and quick to sketch. You only need to measure one thing, you don't need to plan in advance nor project anything. They also give something solid for me to grip on as I sketch ahead. The more familiar I get with them easier it is to feel where the features laid on top of these organic landmarks should go. This is not the only thing that clicked last week, it was really a conjunction of things, but it's a main one.
Songbird your sketches are the just the awesomest XoX XoX I'd love to see more art from you. And I'm glad you're having fun sketching! We have it in reverse, I'm trying to learn digital currently. I remember this one account that you may like but I just can't find it right now. But I'll let you know if I do.
Hah, two artists crossing paths in opposite directions is oddly appropriate for some reason. Ah, and I think I saw your painting in the other thread, with nice brushwork and a lovely blue palette. You're not trying, you are learning. I'm no specialist of course, it's just that I've been there and I've seen other artists there and I see increasing confidence in those long brushstrokes you laid on the ground. Good job!
About more art... hmmmmgh... Professionally I moved to a parallel area and I've been taking an extended break from painting since then, even personal pieces, because it kills my hands now and worse, but... *shifty eyes, whispering* My avatar. I don't know what I'll do in the future, I might take up painting personal pieces in a more relaxed pace and eventually start to put art online again, but for now have this old TTRPG character of mine glaring disapprovingly at you. :x

Aphantasia fascinates me endlessly. And even more when it occurs in a visual artist! I have very visual imagery going on in my mind all the time, so it’s mind boggling for me to just think that not all people do.
I'm not sure I fully grasp what it means to be able to visualize or not yet. I know that:
1. I can see details in isolation. It's faded like if someone brought the saturation down and tossed all values lighter than 60% black away. I can imagine cubes and circles, the contours of the face of someone I've grown up with or the texture of leather, but even then it's a tiny bit at a time akin to tracing it on paper or feeling with my fingertips. It's a extreme close fuzzy macro photograph.
2. Increasing the amount of details only makes it slip away. I plunge into full word descriptions without control or awareness.
3. I draw and painting the sensations I experienced when I looked at something and the ones I want to conjure in other people. Not feelings like happiness or anger, it's more like the visceral low-level perception of something, like closing your eyes, inching closer to a wall and concentrating in the change in sound and pressure.
I am unfortunately unable to move any of it on paper or screen.
My first instinct is to offer sparkly encouragement but I don't know which snags you're hitting thus would be projecting. I do empathize with the feeling though and assure you that failing to depict what you went for is super common! By that metric I didn't get a single of these sketches right. Sometimes I wonder if learning to draw means learning to fail beautifully, haha.
Art toll to balance all those words. I've been mulling over the silly username I picked and...

I even have this pile of blank sketchbooks I never dared to touch because it felt like defacing them! About a week ago several pieces about what caused me to struggle so much and how to work around it clicked into place. I can't get enough of sketching right now!
First of all, I love your art, the energy in it is great - do you have a tumblr that you don't mind sharing?
And second, do you mind talking a bit more about the things that clicked into place for you? What you said about skulls seems very useful and fills me with hope because I have similar problems with consistently placing features correctly on a face (especially when it comes to keeping characters' faces consistent from one angle to another, and distinct from other faces that are similar). I will practice drawing skulls until I can draw one from memory, as my next exercise for a while. Do you find it intuitive to draw skulls or did you need lots of practice for them?
I empathise with not being able to visualise things properly in your mind. I do have a very visual mind, i imagine vivid scenes with plenty of detail and colour, but the experience of wanting to draw them is akin to trying to read the time in a dream - you can't, when you focus on a specific detail it slips through your fingers or blurs out. My experience of drawing and painting is that often I'm just as curious and excited to see what the end result will be as someone who is watching. Of course, there are exceptions, and especially watercolour painting has taught me to plan ahead and visualise as much as I can before starting, reference use makes things a bit more predictable, and there is the occasional image that comes fully formed into my mind, too, but that's rare (unfortunately, since those tend to be my best pieces). My digital painting process often is like sculpting with coloured clay and there are times where I absolutely have no idea where it will take me when I start.

But, the way you Sc0ut describe the way of “looking” at the mental images. They are there, for example faces of characters in books I read, each has a definite personal appearance. But if I try to look at the details, they disappear. So even though it definitely is a visual image, still part of it is “knowing” what there is in the image rather than “seeing” it.
This sometimes leads to weird consequences when I see a period in real life who looks exactly like my mental image of a character in a book. If it’s one I have read very recently or even am currently reading, it’s very confusing for a second :)

This used to be another source of endless puzzlement! For a start I can't fuzzy-imagine people I've never seen. Like, there's this famous concept artist who once in a Q&A answered something about where design ideas came from by stating a lot was from imagining what he read in fantasy books and all I could think of was:
*despair-waving hands in the air* What on earth are talking about?!
@Sc0ut Thanks! I love the raw energy in painterly paintings and sketchy sketches and can't help but chase it when given the chance.

My digital painting process often is like sculpting with coloured clay and there are times where I absolutely have no idea where it will take me when I start.
This describes perfectly how I feel too. But instead of having my best pieces due planning it's a mix of familiarity with having sorted out a good mental list of things to include that might go well together, with either luck or an overwhelming amount of effort to make up for the absence of either. And I know no replacement for the lack of inspiration, aka that sensation I'm trying to paint.
And second, do you mind talking a bit more about the things that clicked into place for you?
You're so going to regret asking this. Are you seated comfortably? Do you have enough food to get through the winter? :haw:
I broke the answer into topics so at least it's easier to scan.
Short Answer
1. I realized you don't need to lay down all lines before shading. There's no Correct™ order of doing things you're supposed to follow. What I need are handholds I can death-grip as I move to the next area: a ghost fill, squiggles depicting volume or future shadows, anything that can hold room for the things I didn't draw yet. And it's no coincidence that these handholds tend to be the things that are useful to me—I can't see (imagine) volume in classic boundary lines, after all.
2. I suck royally at starting by the eyes. That they're the foundation and the first thing you detail in most "how to draw a face" methods, including Andrew Loomis' and George Bridgman's, is unfortunate. I'm enjoying leaving them as vague eyebrow derived shadows and starting by the nose, then down the lips, with temples and cheeks being of utmost importance, followed closely by hairline. I have yet to settle into a most comfortable order. Experimenting is fun!
3. I quit being an ass to myself.
Long Answer
I'm going to preface this with the fact that what worked for me may not and will likely not fully work for you not because there's the need for one of those "I'm washing my hands" disclaimer but because understanding my weakest points, embracing them and making use of my strengths rests at the core of this answer. I kludged and tailor-fitted solutions out of assorted bits of knowledge for issues I was long aware of but only came to fully understand now. You'll have to do the same.
Don't stop at recognizing you have an issue (eg. "I can't draw a proper face" or "I can't see volume in lines"), try to identify the exact moment it becomes unbearable enough you put the pencil down. Are the boundary lines that are you giving you a hard time? (what about skipping them?) Is drawing eyes the point everything falls into the wrong position or size? (how about starting from a different point?) The more closely you examine the issue—without passing any judgments but just trying to find a detour—higher the chances of finding it.
Skulls!
What you said about skulls seems very useful and fills me with hope because I have similar problems with consistently placing features correctly on a face (especially when it comes to keeping characters' faces consistent from one angle to another, and distinct from other faces that are similar). I will practice drawing skulls until I can draw one from memory, as my next exercise for a while. Do you find it intuitive to draw skulls or did you need lots of practice for them?
Having established I have issues with lines I thought about how I paint. I instinctively try to feel the volume of bone, muscles and fat in a face. Hence skulls, the foundation of everything.
I was terrified of trying to draw skulls. How do they work?! Identifying bits I can't even name is fairly instinctive, drawing them wasn't at all. But this is one of these moments where stars align and just as you realize you need something the universe Deus Ex Machina the answer for you!
The realization came at the same moment I was shown a method of drawing skulls that really clicked with me.
(https://64.media.tumblr.com/e849ccbf131ada00b0a02b7987527c66/d1c81efc6c6d1511-1e/s1280x1920/949215842812d5d2c9507073833e8b6401540295.jpg)
It clicked with me because it can be adapted to any phenotype and still make sense. It has all the landmarks I like—temples, cheekbones, that point of muscular insertion at the edge of the jaw, and the superciliary notch (https://i.pinimg.com/736x/69/d0/49/69d049d0a4436b26b4fb3967afc23464.jpg).
When drawing from the front bear in mind the eye sockets are rounded squares. I don't bother when using as a face base because I like to use the temples and the superciliary notch to orient myself instead. I also like to do a quick soft circle to establish the squamous part (https://image1.slideserve.com/2282480/slide1-n.jpg) (I don't know if there's a proper name for the region I'm trying to describe) is because it makes for interesting foreheads.

Once I learned this method and that I'm able to draw skulls, did it become intuitive? Hm, I don't know. I do feel comfortable, relaxed enough I like to load random references from different ages and ethnicities and angles and sketch them as a warm up and sketchbook gap filler.
The Skull Under Every Face
Okay, can do skulls. Now what?
The width base of the nose cavity is the roughly equivalent to the width of the nose itself. That's usually where I start, sketching the nose volumes. The superciliary notch will tell me where the eyebrow is, I cast a ghost shadow from there. I also ghost the position of the lips and often do them already because I'm comfortable in drawing that part. I outline the relevant fat pads and muscles for the given face with quick and loose swipes and start to cast shadows from them.
Basically I'm extracting volume out of the bones and muscle/fat. Shading is like playing catch with values: I go from softer to darker shades. And placement misfires still happen for the time being, they just occur in a considerably smaller scale. That means I can recover from them, if not make it look on purpose.

Locating fat and muscles are is super helpful with expressions!

Something to keep in mind when going from skull to face: The face is thick. Areas right above the bone like the forehead have at least ~5mm. Check out time-lapses or videos of forensic anthropologists working if you can and you'll see what I mean (they work with clay and it's not icky usually).
For method comparison purposes here are all versions of the first portrait. The first was the first sketch I did in some years.
(https://64.media.tumblr.com/b3d32d60e4f71fbc98100ce46f10bbde/d1c81efc6c6d1511-17/s1280x1920/099eadea9653f36a19c44149289a54da61fcda8d.jpg)
March 19. No skull underneath. I used the default "draw a line from middle of a ball to..." method, at a time I still thought I had to do all lines first. I wanted to render some volume but had no idea where to start, put far too much pressure on the lines, plus was acutely aware she didn't resemble the reference (https://vintage-sweden.tumblr.com/post/646112048438296576/ragnhild-norén-1910s-sweden) at all, feeling so absurdly stressed due the amount of effort I had to pour into it that I just noped out. This sketch is close in quality to the very best sketches I ever made before it; this was the hard cap of my ability.
March 21. The second one has a tentative skull underneath from the time before I had a method for skulls. I started to entertain the possibility I could skip boundary lines; I used shading as guidance—on purpose!—for the first time. She still doesn't look like the reference but it's not bad for the considerably smaller amount of effort I had to put into it. I was happy. The portrait had volume going on.
March 26. Latest attempt made to demonstrate the method described above. This time I f—ked up. What? It happens! :)) Went too hard on the values too soon and ended being forced to darken everything more than intended. This is why I'm spitting out so many sketches, it's to get a firm grip on values so I can move to something else. Accident notwithstanding I'm happy with it. Barely no stress when drawing except for values hiccup and she kinda resembles the reference, even if I'm not aiming for accuracy just yet. I don't get contours of the jaw right but it's such a relief to see most features remain where I initially place them. It feels amazing to just... relaxedly sketch something and *gasp* like it despite the flaws.
What brings us to item 3.
Remaining Motivated and the Perks of Not Being an Ass to Yourself

It was a blog meant for personal 3D and game work only but I don't have much choice and it's not like it's old enough there's anyone around to complain, hah.
I dislike the lack of control over your own content over there yet I don't have anywhere else to go. Of all platforms it has the greatest focus on content and most low-key amounts of interaction. I don't want a portfolio stand-in or a following.

I've also learned a lot that I can use in my own art - for instance, your method of drawing skulls is new to me and I can see how it does make things easier instantly. Can't wait to try it out! I've kind of always used shading as a guideline when sketching (I never was one of those people who can make neat, clean, line-only drawings, I struggle whenever I need to produce that) so that part makes intuitive sense to me. It's also useful to see how you outline little areas where muscle or fat bulges out on the face and then shade it - I think implementing that will help me branch out of my over-reliance on a few face shapes that I've learned and use excessively. The gifs are incredibly useful overall, I'm grateful to everyone who makes this kind of resource.
I've followed your tumblr! I'm also drawn to places of the internet that have a more pre-social-media vibe, where we can be people in the progress of learning things, goofing around and exploring, rather than a brand that puts out polished, on-brand "content" exclusively. (I used to have an account on the conceptart forums a lifetime ago but I was intimidated by most other artists as they were educated and more skilled than me. I'm self-taught and just not an energetic or competitive person overall, so whatever I do my output tends to be smaller and I can't get the benefits that naturally come with churning out hundreds of sketches a month like others do... but well, I won't complain as a response to such an uplifting post lmao)
Anyway, thank you again for taking the time to give such a great response, it was a joy to read and very helpful!

I really like your concept of pushing the boundaries of your comfort zone - that's a much more sensible approach than "hurl yourself off this cliff here" which seems to be implied in the idea of getting outside your comfort zone. You don't need to leap out of it entirely, just set a foot outside its boundaries. Thanks for that idea!
I actually chuckled aloud when you mentioned motivating yourself by not letting mouldering sketchbooks go to waste. I have a terrible habit of getting nice things (purchased myself or as gifts) and then not using them - they're "too nice to use", or "I don't deserve this high quality thing". It takes a conscious effort to use them, I have to remind myself that it's disrespectful to not use whatever it is for its intended purpose. This was really helped by moving from a stupidly large living space (with boxes of unused nice things) to a much smaller one - I got rid of a lot of stuff, and what I kept has to be either useful (and used regularly), or beautiful and meaningful to me.
Your sketches are beautiful, full of life. I hope we'll get to see more of them!
Post by: Keep Looking on March 27, 2021, 10:06:14 AM
I've always been quite good at taking things I can see and putting them down onto paper or canvas (If I can see it, I can draw or paint it, if I can't see it then all hope be lost) so I haven't had much reason for worrying about different specific strategies for making faces accurate if I'm directly drawing another person. At the same time, I've always struggled with drawing faces if I don't have a direct reference, so thinking about the base structure of different faces seems really useful in terms of branching out what I can draw. I'll have to try it sometime!
Post by: Vulpes on March 27, 2021, 12:50:13 PM
Songbird, that's a really, really cool and useful tutorial! I've never actually seen the skull strategy before, but it makes a lot of sense - people sometimes like sketching out a bit of a skeleton under their body sketches, since that's the base structure of our bodies - since skulls are the base structure of our faces, it makes sense you could use them to draw faces.
My S.O was a gallery artist ("I'm better now" :))) and knows more about human anatomy than I do, and I'm a biologist. (Okay, I'm an invertebrate biologist, but I did take, and sometimes teach, vertebrate anatomy.) My cousin is also an artist. Both learned a lot of anatomy on the way to understanding how to draw people. Knowing how the various muscle attach and work together is invaluable.

Post by: Mirasol on March 28, 2021, 11:49:53 AM
And thank you so much for that tutorial/experience sharing!!! I don´t really have a problem visualising things and their details beyond the "rather knowing than seeing"-aspect others mentioned, but I do struggle a lot at trying to get those details on paper. I usually default to very stylized, cantoony figures, which I greatly enjoy drawing, but as soon as anything that´s not an inanimate object has to look "realistic" I´m kinda lost. Completely. Because the base-structure of a cartoon-character is hardly the same as the skeleton of a human.
I theoretically heard the method of drawing skulls underneath a face before, but couldn´t really see how it could help to draw another complicated structure beneath the one I was already struggling with. Your explanation was the first one I read where I finally understood why one would be doing this. And that it actually makes a lot of sense.
Also, I have a practical art-exam tomorrow, where the need to draw realistic people might very well exist, so the timing of this is great. This is incredibly helpful right now!
EDIT: Whoops, completely forgot to post the thing I meant to post:
(https://i.postimg.cc/C5wDw4Yx/Dragonpainting-Mirasol.jpg)
A painting I did for artclass. The task was to draw two landscapes which are opposites that merge in a small spot. I managed to sneak in a dragon. >:D
Anyways, I´m actually kinda proud of this (though trying to make anything I paint look good takes aaages... -_-), plus am at least trying to practice getting better at painting, so I wanted to show it.
It´s A3-measured (don´t know whether that´s a thing outside Germany?) and painted with Acrylics.

Can relate, I'm learning a lot of anatomy I wouldn't otherwise. I saw a CT of someone opening their mouth last week and would have never imagined that's how jaws work. It's so cool and creepy I have to use it in something now, haha.

Glad to be of help, and.... Are we secretly the same person?
I also found it intimidating and spent most time visiting other sketchbooks, but I don't regret having created one no matter how not-one-of-the-pros I did feel. People were helpful and thoughtful even if sometimes the advice didn't click, I made some friends and it was awesome to have one of my favorite artists unexpectedly dropping by my sketchbook and doing a paintover. I'm also self-taught (with a couple of brushes with formal education) and on the low output end, so can you imagine the shock of suddenly filling a page or more and looking forward to do more?! Sketching is no longer a chore, it's fun and I guess it shows.
More Art Tips!
I've been thinking about what's informing which direction a line should go and values in those sketches when it doesn't save my ass by salvaging a drawing that's been hurling into the wrong direction, turning it into something satisfying to look at. These bits of knowledge likely aren't new for some of you but they might be shown in a different light that makes more sense. It's worth mentioning I first researched these when I painted thus they're helpful in every medium *makes a rainbow with hands*. I hope they're of as much use to you as they're for me.

John Asaro's Planes of the Head
I hold this close to my heart and will vouch for it until my dying day!
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-R_IpVDbs19I/VhUayfL6YFI/AAAAAAAABiI/uyfrwr73B9M/s1600/john%2Basaro%2Bhead%2Bmontage%2Bsm.jpg)
Thread w/ link to download photos from all angles (https://polycount.com/discussion/76733/john-asaros-planes-of-the-head-high-res-photos).
Official site with merch and stuff (https://www.planesofthehead.com).
I came across this at a time I realized I liked certain volumes and transitions in faces but lacked a way to pinpoint what was going on. It cemented the concept of understanding changes of direction in surfaces as planes and gave me an initial framework to creepily stare at faces for extended lengths of time in a quest for seeing those planes.
The way this sculpture is simplified into the most basic planes in a side is particularly nice, it shows how to build up volumes gradually without getting caught up in features. By no means it's perfect (there's no universal facial structure after all) and I don't like the way the neck was simplified but it's still a pretty good starting point.
If depicting volumes give you joy and you want to incorporate them in your style this is a nice way of approaching them in everything. And whether you'll play up the plane breaks or blend them in the loveliest soft transitions is up to your preferred stylistic flavors.
Lambert's Cosine Law
One aspect that mystified me was how sometimes you have a volume or protuberance getting gradually darker followed by a surprisingly bright area—nearly as bright as the things in first plane! Sometimes you'll see deep wrinkles surrounded by darker cheeks and noses and how can they possibly be brighter than the regions closer to the light source?! Sometimes you have a light source slightly to the side but the edge of the cheeks seem equally dark on both sides. How so?
(https://64.media.tumblr.com/e5b89412174e246e6acbd95d06289a4e/d1c81efc6c6d1511-6c/s1280x1920/def5cc26a8497e6987a3071c54c3a7f25bc0d783.jpg)
What's happening is that you got light rays missing the surface thanks to their angle. When you get fewer rays forced to cover a big area you end up with a darker region.
(https://64.media.tumblr.com/8bb164b34c5dd80e864b561c1939bcda/d1c81efc6c6d1511-4f/s1280x1920/877b24801ce804695d8203c66f2b7621bbc58a4f.jpg)
Under normal atmospheric conditions the amount of energy lost as the light travels through the air is smaller than the the perceived "loss" caused by steep angles. Light dims at a smaller rate than the distance between these points; things that are farther but perpendicular will receive more light and be brighter even after the loss of energy the incoming rays suffered.
Volume depends on light yet it can be useful to isolate the two for a moment. Think of volume as something created by the fill light: soft ambient light scattered in the air, usually from the sky. The way I go is to pretend there's a soft light in front-top of my subject to determine the volume then cast light and shadows from actual light sources on top of the initial "volumetric" shading.
I'm not going in depth about specular (glossy) highlights, but it's worth mentioning why they're so bright: They don't scatter as much, allowing more rays to return to your eyes. That's why they're only visible from some angles too.
So now you know why the sides are darker how do you know how dark you should go? That's where Lambert's formula (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert's_cosine_law) itself comes in handy. Don't fret, I'm not going to inflict math on you!
(https://64.media.tumblr.com/fb983aadd23e8d0d39669ded8b309a8b/d1c81efc6c6d1511-d0/s1280x1920/01f846dfb9fa4e2452aaf6b905c9b2ec89df6631.jpg)
Matte objects aren't 100% diffuse but that's a good starting point to get to that volume-dependant shadows going. You don't need to remember the exact moment brightness dims to 50% or sweat over identifying angles (I don't!), simply remember it's not a 1:1 relationship (45º =/= 50% brightness) and that objects or regions away from the lights aren't necessarily darker.
By the way, I should mention I borrowed the light scatter example from James Gurney's blog (http://gurneyjourney.blogspot.com/2013/03/highlights-and-specularity-part-1.html) (his post is about material finishes instead of using it for volume). His color and light work is phenomenal, making his blog is well-worth a visit.

I haven't drawn in ages; it's discouraging when anything you draw looks exactly the same as the drawings you made decades earlier... but then, that's what happens when you don't draw, right? You have shown us some guidelines that can give me hope of seeing my skills develop, if I give them a chance.
Many, many thanks!

(I'm talking about the sort of perspective studies you make in art class, drawing buildings and the like, or the teacher who put together ugly & absurd still life collections to instill 'a pretty subject does not make a pretty picture'. Those are just begging for flaming jellyfish, y'know?)

Hehe, glad to be of service. :'D
The skull-drawing did turn out to be useful in the sense of, we had the option to paint a skull in the exam (I didn´t end up taking that option though... ^^" In hindsight I maybe kind of regret that...), but knowing that I practiced drawing skulls/humans on the evening before made me feel so much better prepared and calmer than I would have been before the exam. So that´s definitly a plus.
And once again, thank you so much for the advice you´re sharing, it´s really useful!
I also really like the "fishy" sketchbook-page! Not only do all the things on it look awesome, the little speech-bubbles make them infinitly funnier! :'D
Keep Looking, that painting looks gorgeous (yes, the ferns too)! I wholeheartedly agree on the "it sucks to paint ferns"-thing though. They´re super nice to draw, but painting them is a nightmare. My dragon-painting had originally several ferns in the sketch as well, but after I painted one of them, I decided... the others weren´t needed.

That brought back memories - of, ah, grade 1? I was what, 6 or so? I drew a highly detailed barn, right down to all the nails - and I mean ALL the nails - holding it together. Then they gave us paint, I suppose it was cheap tempera or something, utterly opaque. So I painted my barn red (because all barns in my limited experience were red), which covered all the little circles indicating nail-heads. I looked at it, and decided, as you did with the ferns, the nails weren't needed. I went back to our regular classroom. About 5 minutes later another student came in and said the teacher wanted to see me back in the art room. She told me the nails were nice and I should put them back. I deeply resented sitting there for however many ages it took, painting little black dots... so feel fortunate that nobody told you to put your ferns back! ;D

Keep Looking, I really like your Painting. And my wife says it is very beautiful.
We both say, when painting ferns Asplenium scolopendrium may be the clever choice.
I'm glad you guys like the painting! I looked up the Asplenium ferns and you're right, they do look a lot easier to paint! I think we actually have some of those ferns in the hanging baskets on our patio.
So many lovely things keep appearing here, I can't keep up.

Oh, man, this reminds me of when I was about 8 or so and we were studying the Romans for history, so we had to make mosaics (out of paper). I spent so long tearing and glueing those tiny little bits of paper, it was so painstaking! I actually still have the mosaic (it's this round geometric-pattern kinda thing) - I stuck it on the outside of my bedroom door, because I thought it'd look good.

I am the reigning queen of foliage being either absent completely or an abstract squiggle. But in my defense, a uni drawing class sent us outside to do some sketching, and I just laid in blocks of shading squiggles up a whole avenue of trees. The professor praised it highly, to demonstrate that attempting to capture every detail was not always necessary. So there.

wavewright62 Throwing out old art? Check!
I had two brief brushes with formal art education in university. Unfortunately they weren't very enlightening. I've recently thrown away nearly everything produced at the time—the drawings of my own volition made before that time, those I kept.
If my wife heard this. She is totally against throwing away anything. I used to recycle everything I made, but now we have sort of a growing archive.
Post by: Mirasol on April 03, 2021, 06:24:07 AM
MollyVampiric, these look awesome as well!
On the topic of improving, what often helps me is this: try taking the artstyle of maybe an animated show you like, or a comic, and try to draw something in that artstyle instead of your own. I don´t mean necessarily trace a scene, just try applying their technique to things. The point isn´t to learn how to draw in that artstyle, rather to see what techniques they´re using for, say, lineart, or making clothes look more realistic. I often find it difficult to realize what aspects of it make me think an artstyle works well or does things right unless I try it out myself. And while you´re doing that, you may get a new perspective on your own drawings and realize aspects you could still improve. Of course you may also discover techniques that work better for you than the ones you usually use in the process.

Mollyvampiric, the expressions on these characters are so cute! I like these drawings :))
Beyond looking up tutorials, I think one of the best ways to improve would just be to do life studies, though. You can also look at how professional artists you like draw and then experiment with their colour use, line weight, sketch process, etc… Songbird wrote a great tutorial post a while back that shows some of the messier bits of learning how to draw, which I appreciated. A lot of online tutorials only show the nice parts (a great inconvenience to people learning how to draw from the Internet), so don't be afraid of making art that isn't spot-on from the start!

Mirasol, that surrealistic painting is amazing! It almost glows!.. XoX Bigger formats are always nice, I like them ;D I was trained to work with them when I was in an art-school and now it’s easier for me to have more space to draw something that to not have it and make myself squeeze a composition into a small format.
Keep Looking, I saw you had something there, but sadly my device doesn’t let me see it :(
Songbird, all those tips and sketches look so professional! I was wondering, where you learned art (if you did study art)? Thanks for sharing them! And again, the are gorgeous! ;D
I apologise for being inactive here, I have a ton of schoolwork and not enough time to keep track of things here. However, now I finished one of my courses and I should be a little more free to do my own art and to share it ;)
I hope I mentioned everyone, if I did not, I am terribly sorry! All art here it amazingly great in any case!

I used to recycle everything I made, but now we have sort of a growing archive.Haha, so is my mother with art/old school or university works, but I have no use for all that stuff nor any attachment to these. Lugging all of it around when moving is a pain and hey, I did throw it in the recycle bin and repurposed some as sketching paper. It has to count for something.
MollyVampiric Adding to Mirasol's and catbird's great advice you can also do some staring exercises when you can't or doesn't want to draw. Look at art you love and ask yourself questions: What is it about it you like? Why do you think this detail works? What's the artist representing with that color/line/brushwork/parrot/whatever? Is it an interpretation of a natural phenomenon or what? This is a mental exercise to complement actual drawing; it works for some people because drawing and painting aren't purely motor skills, there's a lot of deconstruction and rebuilding it to your liking in the process—the thing we know as style.
Whatever you do it's important to balance taking risks and enjoyment so you don't get overwhelmed. Break subjects into bite sized bits and pick only a couple of risks at a time to really focus on, mixing them with things in your comfort zone. Everyone has their own tolerance to struggling with new things and I find it important to figure out how far you can push yourself before getting too frustrated to proceed. Eg if you're comfortable with flowers and want to do a values study it's better to do one using flowers than trying your hand at motorcycles.
Annuil *blushes* Thanks! I learned art on the Internet. ::)
I really really like to see people's sketchbooks, you can glimpse how they deal with their own hurdles, get ideas for new approaches and studies, etc. I used to lurk a lot in a place with may sketchbooks but I don't know where to find this kind of community now. I also like to take my time to ask questions about the art or photo I'm seeing, formulate theories then research to see if they check out. It's a fun type of challenge that helps in advancing your foundational knowledge, though not ideal if you don't balance this theoretical approach with developing your motor skills (which I don't tend to do ofc).
I had two brushes with formal art education in university, and to expand on them a bit: They were unfortunately mismatched to my skills at the time. One class went through the fundamentals like "this is a color wheel, mix these colors to create one; draw those dead plants, can you see that core shadow?" at a time I was daring stuff beyond this, the other was a gestures one in which the teacher took our names then left us alone with the model for the rest of the class. That was it for the entire semester. No guidance or basic anatomy or anything beforehand. I get the point of being looser with your sketches, but that felt terribly wasteful to have access to live models and lack the foundation and confidence to get them onto paper. Yeah to this day I still mourn getting so little out of this one. :'D

I feel your pain about the fundamental stuff! I have spent seven years in an art school, mastering these fundamental skills and at the time they were much needed. I suffered through them and I gained a steady hand that allows me to do things I used to dream about doing, however, nowadays, I am taking another course, which was supposed to be a portfolio preparation course, but all that we do is we sit there for three hours listening about drawing vases... I thought I will never ever be facing this again! This torture of boredom! And the teacher has a heavy Russian accent that drives me nuts by the end of the class (thankfully, I do know Russian, so it's not as bad for me to understand that english).
However, I found one thing about fundamental skills... they are very important. They give the artist the freedom to do whatever they want. That's why they are called fundamentals. It's nice to practice them once in a while. ;)
But yeah, your experience doesn't seem fun...
moredhel, that looks very nice! I love how light and transparent your watercolor is! You did a great job with it. (Watercolor is my favorite media ;D).
Edit: Here is something I can share! I posted it in the Comfort Corner thread already, but here it is: my stretching comic. So, I took a break from my schoolwork to do a little bit of stretching on the floor, and then I came up with the idea of creating this: (it’s a scene from my stories that took place after a certain battle, that’s why part of the guy’s face is covered with... say, scars):

Tarnagh Just saw the art installation you posted. Thanks for sharing, it's so cool! I'm not a US person thus had no idea Maine had such beautiful forests. It's part of my visual library now, bwahahaha.
I've got two requests if you guys don't mind.
Hands
I'd love to hear your methods to draw the bane of every artist, hands!
There's an excess of methods floating on the internet, it's hard to pick something that clicks. My current weird method is to start from an imprint of the hand: pads of palms, fingertips, knuckles & joints then connect. Fluid results and relatively comfy but the lower accuracy creates a mess when it comes to specific gestures. When they're tiny things seen from afar I start from silhouette instead and mostly suggest them, looks okay but looks okay.
Sequential art
I got an idea. It's too late to fight it now, it buried itself too deep into my mind. I'm going to turn the prologue of something into a short comic. D:
This would be my first one. I have zero experience with sequential art. To study it I'm just going over the comics I like trying to take note of paneling, stylistic choices and pacing, but I basically have no idea what I'm doing. Pointers for structured ways to study it would be deeply appreciated!

I've got two requests if you guys don't mind.Huh, let's see... for me every drawing starts from a light line that shows me the approximate position of the object I'm drawing, then I do the inside line/"the bones". I often start from the basis of the object, like draw everything on the outside and on the inside, that is especially true for the things like vases. A person I would start from very simplified bone structure, just to make sure that ribs and hips are in place and the backbone is going in the right direction and curving in the right places.

Same for hands.
1. Basic bone structure
2. Then basic shapes of the parts of the hand (to figure out the shapes of the palm)
3. Then get rid of some bone structure and start adding details and outlining the shapes more clearly
4. Then sometimes I would draw some sort of a line that would show the shape of the hand better, it helps if you need to draw a sleeve
5. And finally erase all the inner lines and draw a sleeve.
Edit: here’s a link to step-by-step drawing I made while writing this, making is a little more visualised:
https://1drv.ms/f/s!AsSnHPIBASO_x3RrNDwfe-NMmBxz
I didn't go into shading, because... because that is way harder than just drawing the outline of the hand and there are so many little aspects that its hard to put it in words. Honestly, I don't always know them with my mind, my hand just figures where to put the correct shading instinctively. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't :'D
Sequential artWith comics I'm not sure if I can give you a good advice... I've never done a full comic myself, the only thing I did was I started a little comic based on one of my stories, haven't finished it yet. Your idea with looking at people's work seems rather helpful. Good luck with that and I would love to see the outcome! ;D

I do not have a specific method for drawing hands. It is alwas horrible to draw one.
Post by: Sevseres on April 07, 2021, 01:56:41 PM
1. Plumpy round part that connects to the thumb.
2. The triangle-ish middle section that mostly stays flat.
3. And then the band that the four fingers connect to, which bends into all sorts of shapes but still keeps its width, and it's sort of seperated from the middle section by the palm lines/the finger knuckles.
Another thing that I find helpful is more about the tone but, if you add the hand a lot of edges (for example by putting more emphasis on finger knuckles) everything looks a lot more tense, and the gesture hints a more stressful situation. Vice versa, smoothing out the edges makes the atmosphere become more relaxed.
I say all this but honestly when I struggle with hands everything works much better once I give up, take a reference picture of my hand and use it as guidance. I guess I can say that... there's never a shame on needing a hand. :torbjorn:
Honestly, I think you're much better than I am at art Songbird, but that's sort of what I do. :'D And I know nothing about sequential art, so I can't really help you with that.
Post by: Mirasol on April 07, 2021, 04:12:21 PM
Songbird, I wish I could help you with hands, but I usually deal with that problem by not dealing with it... :'D By that I mean conviniently hiding them behind long sleeves, pockets, objects or speech bubbles. If hands need to be drawn after all I like using every comic artists favorite trick of drawing people wearing gloves so they don´t need to be detailed. (Sometimes I even just use a completely "Adventure Time"-esque style where hands are even more simplified.) I tell myself I can get away with it because I don´t even try to be realistic... ^^" But other than that, I draw hands by:
1. rough shape where they are supposed to be
2. either: winging it from that point on with questionable results/ drawing a trapezoid-like shape guiding where the palm is and then adding fingers with significantly better results.
For complicated gestures I usually use my own hands for reference
For sequential art though I think I can be of a bit more help: (but note that I´m completely self-taught and have no idea whether what I do is concidered "right")
First off, to look at the way comics you like do paneling and so on is definitly very helpful and mostly how I taught myself too.
To get to the method I use for paneling/ page composition (The comics I do are usually traditionally drawn, but I think my method can be applied to digital art just as well.): Before I start a comic, I set myself "rules" as for how the composition will generally work for all of it so it stays consistent and is easy to follow. An example:
- this comic will be read left to right, top to bottom of the page
- pages will be drawn upright
- speech bubbles are to be read top of the panel to bottom of the panel
Deviations of said rules due to maybe needing more space for dialog in one panel are ok but shouldn´t be the norm so it doesn´t get confusing. I have to mark that with arrows or something.
Then I think about what pages will look like in general. This is mainly a question of "how small can I/ do I want to draw" and "How small can I go without the dialog being too small to read". For example I have found Din A 4-pages to be nicely devidable into on average 6 panels/ three rows. (like that every panel is a square) That doesn´t mean it´s the ideal size for everything, I´ve also already drawn comics in different formats, but that´s one I found where you have a nice amount of space for backgrounds and dialog (I say as if I wasn´t usually avoiding drawing backgrounds altogether...).
Anyways, a "format" like this is just a guideline, like that all panels would be the same shape and size which is boring. It´s just to keep the composition somewhat structured. Depending on what is needed for a scene I can then devide the three rows into smaller parts, or make two rowss into one if a large scenic panel is needed.
The way I devide panels depends on the scene. Usually thick straigt lines, vertical or horizontal. But during things like dream- or montage-sequences, as well as dramatic scenes I switch to other things. Examples:
- dream sequence: cloud-like or squiggled outline
- montage: scenic panel with photos lying around showing different points (of course there´s plenty of other options here)
- drama(TM): panels are devided with lots of angular lines
My pacing is usually terrible, so don´t listen to me on that aspect.
I realize none of these are really ways to study people´s ways of doing that, but I guess if I were to "translate" it into that: try finding the underlying structure they use for their pages on questions like rows of panels and way of reading, and then try finding a structure that works for you or the story you want to tell.
Post by: Songbird on April 08, 2021, 05:49:18 PM
Sevseres You described what I roughly do but in better words. :))
Regarding art levels I find it useful to look at it like a skill tree because a big part of doing art is about acquiring experience at doing something. I got a head start in this game; I've been farming XP for longer and invested all my points in a branch, unlocking a flashy skill. That doesn't mean I'm better at the game, or that the game is even about this single pretty attack, nor that I can't benefit from taking a different branch to unlocking the same skills and more. You've got a different life experience and (presumably) way to approach art. This exchange of knowledge and creative insights are valuable.
I guess I can say that... there's never a shame on needing a hand. :torbjorn:
*dies*
moredhel And they can get foreshortened in so many ways. Oh, the horror!
Annuil Wow thanks for taking the time to do that step-by-step! XoX :sparkle:
My hands tend to be more accurately positioned when I ghost the general silhouette like you do, but I usually make a big mess when drawing the bones because I still need some fundamental markers from palms and joints to get the volume right, ending up with way too many lines in a too small region if mixing the two methods. Honestly I probably only need more practice to know when to omit what when doing this.
With comics I'm not sure if I can give you a good advice... I've never done a full comic myself, the only thing I did was I started a little comic based on one of my stories, haven't finished it yet. Your idea with looking at people's work seems rather helpful. Good luck with that and I would love to see the outcome! ;D
Edit: also, here are the first two pages of that little comic. I need to make the cover and probably start from the view of the place, because now I feel like it’s a little confusing... and it’s also in Russian, sorry... I’ll translate it one day...
This looks very cute! From the art alone I can tell it's a "first meeting" style of snippet and I suspect there's a difference of status going on too, meaning they're a bit of foils to each other.
Hah, I still got so much to do for that comic that outcome will take quite some time to materialize. But... I actually have something related to show? I've tried Clip Studio Paint (it's a mixed bag!), and reworked a character look and am trying to figure a style which is faster and comfortable to draw that still feels like me in one go. I'm stupid and I'm sure I'll ultimately go for something that's insanely time-consuming to produce but it can't be helped. No matter how much I love to look at clean stylized art trying to do something that's too far from mine feels absolutely off.

How do I draw hands? Like Annuil, I mostly deal with the outline. I also model the pose myself a lot. But, as with most cartooning, distortion and downright dodgy anatomy is my friend, to I get my expressive point across, more so for comedy.

Mirasol Oooh, the way you described panel work reminded me of magazine/book and site wireframes! In hindsight they're kinda the same. :'D I think I can draw on prior knowledge from these areas to cook up a similar approach for paneling. Thanks for the write up and hands method. It's been of great help!
Yay, I helped! :reynir:
I like your sketches! For finding a comic-style, I read a few comics that use a quite complicated artstyle (by that I mean not very clean and stylized) and seem to have found a nice balance. I don´t know about how time-consuming these were to draw, but if it helps you decide on something: Scurry (https://www.scurrycomic.com/), Glacias (http://www.webcomicsapp.com/reader.html?mangaId=5c128a3cd5626e7f426b0a21)
(they´re also both very good. Scurry is a post-apocalyptic comic through the point of view of the surviving animals, Glacias a fantasy-comic about basically not Vikings-involving "how to train your dragon".)
Indeed a controversial work, moredhel... I do not agree with you on the point you made, but it is a very nicely painted banana. You managed to make it look quite three-dimensional. :)

I am still exploring the world of watercolor and I made my most controversial piece of art.

The title is "before bananas look like this they taste horrible".
:haw:
I agree - bananas have to have brown spots. But I would add "and about 10 minutes after they look like this they taste cloying". I rarely catch bananas in that 10-minute-long optimal eating window (okay 10 minutes is an exaggeration, but not by much!) and buy bananas with the expectation that I will make banana bread. That is my favourite form of banana! :D
Your watercolour explorations appear to be bearing fruit (hahaha... sorry), that's really nicely done. I like the complementary background, too.

You know what, I love this banana, I love the title, I love the flavour of it that I can imagine in my head. I would buy prints of it if I could. I fully agree with the title, green bananas are disgusting and taste like leaves and yellow bananas still taste like leaves but look less weird. I hope it stirs things up in the art world because I think it deserves that more than the other banana that stirred things up in the art world.
(Joking aside, I really do love your banana painting and I hope you continue sharing your watercolour creations. And I don't have any ill intent towards the other art banana :P)
Songbird, about drawing hands: I used to draw my own hands a lot because they were the least obvious non-biology-class-related thing I could reference while I was bored in eleventh grade biology. My teacher often rambled a lot, so most of my hand drawing practice came from there. For me, it's just
1. stare at my hands
2. struggle to put my joints on paper and make a rough outline
3. realize the proportions are totally wrong and fix it once I'm done
I tried to draw some yesterday (or the day before?) and uhmmm they look really rough. I've also never had to render them in detail because I never got too into drawing fully-rendered humans, but I hope it gives you some insight ;D
Spoiler: hands • show
Oh, the weird thing is that I drew bird wings before actually drawing human hands, so I also like to visualize human hands as somewhat like primary feathers.

Also, moredhel, I wanna eat that banana! It should taste the best, not turned black yet but already has a few brown dots... You're handling the watercolor really well ;) :sparkle:
Annuil Wow thanks for taking the time to do that step-by-step! XoX :sparkle:I hope it helped you! It was fun to do that! I was still wearing my pajamas and just used my other hand as a reference... sometimes it's nice to do such things :'D
This looks very cute! From the art alone I can tell it's a "first meeting" style of snippet and I suspect there's a difference of status going on too, meaning they're a bit of foils to each other.Ahah, thanks! Yep, the first meeting of two best friends whose friendship lasted for several centuries (that's why I love elves :'D).
Here is an explanation to that comic, if anyone is interested, I'll put it under a spoiler:

But here is one more thing! I've translated those two pages, so now you can even understand what they say! ;D :'D :tuuri:

One more thing, Songbird, I love that character! And you style of painting looks so good! I have had an experience with Clip Studio, but it didn't end that well, so I'm gonna try it again now. Maybe my skills were lacking at the time. Truly great doodle ;) And those hands are just fine! :sigrun:

I'm happy you liked the sketches! About the CSP, I'm not sure yet it's worth it. I have yet to delve more deeply into layout features, but so far...
Pros
- I like the pen pressure and stabilization features. Super useful since I use an old Wacom Bamboo the majority of the time, and it's even keeping it from freaking out as it has been doing in PS since I did a fresh windows reinstall
- The standard brushes are nice
- You can mark layers as different types (draft, etc), though it's not always that useful
- The concept of comic panels as... uh... clipping layer bases that are actually folders (?!) is interesting
- Spline Rulers <3 I just wish there was a way to rasterize them so they can be used to swiftly draft stuff
- It comes with auto-saving backups enabled out of the box, and I can attest they work as intended
- Runs infinitely lighter than PS in my PC build
- Can save layered PSDs with a few expected caveats
- I kinda like the balloons though they have some annoying limitations
Cons / missing features
- It has a version dedicated to creating comics yet it can't All Caps text.
- I'd love to see connected text boxes like in indesign so you can freely navigate and shuffle big chunks of text to different boxes
- It doesn't seem like it's possible to edit the outlines or erase parts of balloons, which is weird and makes for a terrible workflow
- Not much freedom with the balloon and panel line styles either, defeating part of the reason you'd stick to a different type of layer in first place

Plu-eeese. Pretty art notwithstanding, everyone knows bananas are better when they go fully black so you can turn them into cakes. 8)
catbirds Oooh I like the style of your hands! You've got a nice curve x straight lines rhythm going on there and the thing about wings isn't that weird:
1. Feathers are similar to fingers in profile. You have the straight back, the curve created by the digits on the opposite side, and also tapering going on.
2. Bones aren't centered in fingers in the same way the spine of feathers aren't.
3. Feathers are fingers. ;D
This drawing is beautiful, you're right to be proud of it! The shadows, the flow, the impressive patience! :'D <3 <3

These sketches were fast to draw, I spent more time testing the tools than actually drawing. I managed a page spread and few other bits in a day, nothing super elaborate but enough to show it's doable. The plan is to do more ~8 pages to settle into the style then give the initial pages another pass because they'll surely deviate in style and confidence from whatever I ultimately pick. Bonus points for creating a buffer to last a month.

Utterly off-topic, but you are so correct. Here is a reconstruction of a conversation with my friend who would miraculously appear whenever I made banana bread.
Friend: Oh, you're just taking banana bread out of the oven? What an incredible coincidence!
Me: Would you like some?
Friend: Yes, please! *munching and appreciative sounds* This is even better than usual!
Me: I wonder if that's because I had to basically pour the bananas out of their skins?
Friend: ... *Stares at piece of cake in hand for 10 seconds. Shrugs. Keeps eating.*

Vulpes, that’s just great... :'D
MollyVampiric, I think you have improved since last time! :D Thicker lineart doesn’t bother me almost at all, when last time it kind of seemed too heavy. And I love the shadowing (and the background fits the atmosphere perfectly)! Here are two major remarks that I would do:
1. Anatomical question.
I feel like you did a great job doing the facial features, but here are some things I found could be worked on (I don’t know, it may just be your style and it’s totally fine if it is).
Nose: you didn’t do any nostrils or the sides of the nose. It’s not that it looks bad, just with them it could have been more anatomically correct.
Eyes: it may also be the style or that certain shape of the eye, but drawing the top eyelid could help add more expression to the face and would look more anatomically correct (unless these eyes are the type that doesn’t have the top eyelid visible, it could also be the case ;))
Eyebrows are awesome.
So are the cheekbones XoX
Mouth... is rather stylistic, nice expression and it might be the character who doesn’t have lips :'D (I hate drawing lips!.. but I have to... adds realism to the drawing..) and in this style it looks nice.
Hair is cool too!
About hair, to make it look more interesting, you could add small side whiskers, just at the ear level. Many people have that, and usually it helps me when I do someone with hair brushed to the back, so the face is fully open. I mean, it’s just an advice, in case you’d wanna draw someone with hair in a ponytail :'D
There you go! I hope it is somewhat helpful.. If you would like, I can use your drawing and make little corrections to show you exactly what I mean by saying all this in a more visualized form ;) it’s totally fine if you don’t want me messing with your drawing :)
2. Rendering!
It looks great especially in the background and the hair, but the face could have had a smoother change from one color to another ;)
Overall, I think this truly turned out really good! For some reason this character reminds me of Sherlock Holmes from the British version of the series ;D probably the combination of colors and the expression (oh and the black robe/coat).
Great job, Molly!
Sorry for so much rumbling...
edit: I just realized how many smiling faces I use when I do posts here... :'D

(I also did a tiny bit of rendering in the face color ^-^) it’s much easier to make things clear when you can just draw them. ;)
I always feel so bad when I critique people’s work... I myself love when people say what they think about my work and do feedback (even if it’s negative, that is needed sometimes), but when it comes to me doing the feedback... I try to be as honest as possible and keep track of not saying too much about what should be fixed but also about things that are good. I hope it is helpful and doesn’t make you feel bad. It was for sure delightful to work with your art! ;D

Thanks! I did not know all these facts about hands. I just thought, well, all the tutorials I've seen compare wings to hands rather than the other way around, so I thought most people would have learned to draw hands first. Feathers are fingers... this statement will be my food for thought for the next few days, I think.
Oh, and I'm very interested in this strange discussion about drawing software :) I've been using CSP for a while and my biggest problem is how clean all the drawings look!! They're too clean!!!! Ugh!! Yes, even the oil brush. But Ps runs like a turtle on my computer, which is annoying.
MollyVampiric, very neat drawing! I'm curious about the universe this character's from!
As a side question, what sort of style do you want to achieve digitally? It's good to know (at least for me, I don't want to mislead you into wherever I've found myself :P)

Yeah! Calling them fingers is a bit of smartass oversimplification from my part since the actual bones are only at the base, but those asymmetrical primary feathers are like fingers in function: Manipulate their surroundings. In that case it's mostly the air.
These are the feathers that will direct airflow in flight. It's no coincidence they span from the hands and phalanges. They also tend to be the feathers on which a bird will rest their weight when they got issues on land—they rarely go for the hands since they're tiny, they adjust the primary feathers when they can.

(source: internet o_o)
And when it comes to bats we see actual finger bones there hah.
I should thank you again for the feather fingers by the way. It's inspired me to invent a silly warm up/confidence-building exercise for hands and limbs that might or might not work—I've got to do enough of these first to see. ;D
About CSP I also feel it's a bit too clean. I like the way the colors blend, and I love the "transparent" color (been missing it since my paint tool SAI days) but unless I figure how to make it more painterly I might have to jump into PS from time to time to make it work, which is less than ideal.
MollyVampiric Nice drawing! I can't tell how much of an epicanthic fold you want going on with this character but I admire the bravery involved with experimenting with varied eye shapes. I mean, to this day I keep drawing people with different shapes over and over again because it can be so hard and I used to simply shy away from trying ones like you've been doing. Good job!
EDIT
Figured I should post some actual art so here's a silly chart about slicing characters I made to keep referencing when thumbnailing pages. I'm putting it in a spoiler tag because though there's no nudity she's in her undies—a kind of a PG vitruvian

The thought of a bat's skeletal structure is a little strange, but not the greatest struggle for artists, fortunately! (imo)

I'm curious about the exercise! This sort of DIY exercise-making isn't something I've heard of yet, so it's super cool that you're building your own set of them :)
For me, I struggled a lot with how CSP was basically built for making clean lineart, so a good compromise was using the flat oil brush for lineart AND the actual painting. However, you seem to be more into painting entirely, so it still seems like Ps is the way to go! For now, at least, because I've yet to see any digital artist propose a more practical solution :(.
Also, I am absolutely awestruck by your little vitruvian person. It laid out a whole lot of things that I visualized to be sort of... intuitively uncomfortable to look at while planning paintings and comics (not even with human characters but your diagram still works). On the other hand, I can imagine cutting images off at those red lines (neck, joints, etc...) as a VERY useful tool for visual symbolism or deliberately uncomfortable panels.
Post by: Songbird on April 19, 2021, 10:08:38 AM
Bats wings are a good starting point for dragon wings! >:D
I have to play more with CSP. There's a way to make painterly pieces with round plain brushes which to go the impressionist route, but that's physically taxing. I'd rather let tools do the heavy lifting of creating textures nowadays.

You nailed it! It goes both ways, helping to nipping accidental unhelpful compositions in the bud and doing it with intent.
About the exercise I still can't speak about the benefits in the long run but I am getting more longer confident lines and curves and that's something, I guess. I've been doing trees. Exposed tree roots more specifically since they're denser than canopies. They've got a few things going on:
- Gradual tapering like fingers and limbs
- Asymmetrical but balanced silhouettes like limbs', knots like joints, wavy surfaces like tendons
- Foreshortening
- Quicker, less "expensive" to draw
All without the pressure of getting a 1:1 copy to make it look right. The results so far, spoiler because it's a bunch of images I'm too lazy to crop to focus only on relevant parts + cw barbie doll anatomy. :'D

:O Songbird, you've now taught me a strange new fact about birds! But bird feathers are quite fragile, so I can't imagine resting on them can be good in the long run.
The biologist in me can't leave this alone... ::)
Feathers are much tougher than you might think, especially primaries! I suppose if most of the feathers you encounter are from a pillow, your impression makes sense - those should be the soft inner down feathers, maybe a few contour feathers. But the primaries and secondaries are the flight feathers, and they have to be pretty tough for that. If you find a nice big feather on the ground, odds are it's a primary - have a close look, they're amazing! There's the central rachis, and branching out from that are the barbs. The barbs are covered in barbules, which have tiny hooks that catch on adjacent barbules. If you spread the barbs apart, you can see the barbules sticking together. This allows the feather to act very much like a single unit, and gives it surprising strength.
I once found a few northern gannet primaries on a beach. It was immediately clear that they weren't gull primaries, which were also lying around - the barbules had quite broad bases, which made them more rigid, and the whole feather was... incredible. It makes perfect sense, though. Gulls mostly find their food along the shore. You may see them sit on the surface and dunk to grab something, or maybe drop into the water from a couple metres up, but that's it. Gannets on the other hand hunt from the air, and will dive from up to 30 metres, and may hit the water travelling at around 100 km/h. They fold their wings to do this, but those big primaries are still subjected to terrific forces, both in the air, on impact, and while diving through the water. That's why they have the extra reinforcement.
Of course feathers, even gannet primaries, do wear, and they get moulted and replaced when they do. So an injured bird can use its wings for balance on the ground without risking long-term damage - if it survives its injury, the feathers will be replaced eventually.
End biology lesson. ;D
Songbird, I really like the chart on where to cut figures. I'm no artist, but when I see something seems off, it's really nice to understand why. Also this may be useful to me on those rare occasions when I attempt to photograph people (I'm terrible...) because I suspect that I habitually break all those rules... and not on purpose for effect! :'D

Ah, I´m sorry if I came across like telling you the level of Scurry is something you need to do. ^^" It is indeed a very complicated artstyle, though very beautiful too. Of course you´re not expected to paint in so much detail. I remember when Scurry was still updating, the creator often had to take long breaks because the painting took so long. The point I was trying to make was more along the lines of "Comics with relatively detailed/unstylized art can work well too". If you find a way to do that which doesn´t take ages, even better! And good luck with creating a buffer! :)
(Also I´m continuing to learn things here! *swoops in to save that person-panelling-diagramm* You are going about things a lot more analytical than I do, Songbird, and that is teaching me a lot! I tend to rely on intuition, so if something looks off I usually have no clue why.)
And very nice drawings, comics and sketches, everyone! (I also apprechiate the biology-lessons!)

LOL thank you, I haven't actually tested it out because I mostly just watch birds. I was mostly visualizing just some chafing while dragging itself along a rocky crag or something :( Poor feathery fellow
Not related to art, but I really wish I could learn more about birds :P I was an avid birdwatcher when I was 12, not so much anymore.
Songbird, your sketchbook pages feel so complete as usual! I love drawing tree roots too, but more for the enjoyment of seeing the overlapping bits than for artistic development.
An art teacher I had once made me draw figures with clean, continuous lines because she believed it would build confidence, so your tree root idea does have a solid base. You've managed some very dynamic figures, too! The roots have a creepy appearance sometimes, though.
Seeing all these, I've begun to think that it may be a good time for me to develop my skills regularly like this, too. I'll come back with my own sketchbook drawings one day! Ones that look like good, full sketchbook pages, for once :)
I have to play more with CSP. There's a way to make painterly pieces with round plain brushes which to go the impressionist route, but that's physically taxing. I'd rather let tools do the heavy lifting of creating textures nowadays.
I have done this and it was pretty fun, all things considered! (I can't remember where I saved the file... :'D)
If you're trying to make a personal piece, it's a super fulfilling way to paint! I use my computer exclusively for fanart, so there's always a bit of emotion driving it and it works well for "the impressionist route." But, alas, if I were to try to make money off of digital art, it would take way too long to use a style that requires a lot of underappreciated effort to most viewers :( A bit too much effort, in my opinion.

You could make it related to art - one great way to learn about something is to draw it. You don't need to be a "twitcher", who will drive 100s of km at the drop of a hat to maybe see a small drab bird in a bush. Watch the birds where you live. Get a basic bird book and learn what the common species are, and how they live their lives. Try to draw them! Of course I've rarely attempted to draw birds from life, they move too much and I draw far too slowly, but even if you draw from photos I think it helps to know how they move, what they do, etc. I've been hand-feeding chickadees and nuthatches in the winter for years, and have learned an enormous amount about them as a result. Such personalities! Hm... I guess maybe I should put my pencils where my mouth is and draw them - goodness knows I have enough photographs to work from!

Good luck to both of us on our watercolor journey!
And wow, bird nerding! Yay! Can I drop this awesome app I know, “Merlin Bird ID”? It’s made by eBird people (which is a cool bird site) and can ID all your bird sightings like it’s nothing. It’s found mine from crappy photos and terribly unsure descriptions. You can also download the birds of your area and discover what birds are currently around you, with cool facts about them and their songs and their calls and all. It’s just the best, I love it! I also saw a black stork today on a hike which was neat.

Get a basic bird book and learn what the common species are, and how they live their lives. Try to draw them!
I've made several bird illustrations in the past, actually. A far-too-great proportion relative to any other subject matter! If you seek out one of my older posts (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=33.msg180635#msg180635) in this thread, you'll find the one I've poured the most effort into so far. It's gotten more stylized over the years. I used to just copy bird guide birds, and I slowly moved towards having fun with them.
They're a pretty interesting lesson in character design, too! The whole thing about bird identification is that it requires you to remember the one or two distinguishing characteristics that show how a bird is absolutely not like its close relative. Sometimes, it's colour. Sometimes, it's a crest. Sometimes, it's a slightly different coloured streak! Not totally different from designing characters.
Sevseres, about that app! It reminds me, I tried it once long, long ago. I didn't have a smartphone at the time, though, so I just stuck with a regular paper bird guide most of the time. Back then, it was more or less a glorified dichotomous key, but now that it's been upgraded, I might pick it up again!
Black storks are so cool, btw! They seem like such magical animals by appearance, though I guess every bird I haven't seen is kind of like that for me.
By the way, your scarecrow granny looks very familiar! If you've posted it elsewhere, I might have run into it at some point. It's a very warm drawing, and the hatching (mixed media?) was used to show texture well! The granny also looks very warm and kind, like she's going to give me cookies or something :) And speaking of birds, those cardinals are the cutest!
moredhel, if this is your start to painting portraits with watercolour, I believe you are headed somewhere great! There's some good detail here, like the slight depth with the eye sockets, the nose shape, and perhaps the implied wrinkles around the eyes and nose? And this person looks very human, which is a big win! I hope you continue!
Since I did talk about painting many birds, I feel like it might be good to post an older illustration here.

I've made several bird illustrations in the past, actually. A far-too-great proportion relative to any other subject matter! If you seek out one of my older posts (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=33.msg180635#msg180635) in this thread, you'll find the one I've poured the most effort into so far. It's gotten more stylized over the years. I used to just copy bird guide birds, and I slowly moved towards having fun with them.
Ah, I remember the illustration but I hadn't connected it to you. Beautiful! And the one you just posted was quite a surprise, at first I was focused on the crystals and the architecture and wondered, "What bird?" and then I saw it! :'D I imagine there's a very cool story surrounding it.
Sevseres, I might actually try that app out - although I fear it will be incompatible with my phone. I tried to be a responsible citizen and download the Covid Alert app (used in Canada) but my phone, which is all of 5 years old, is one model too ancient to run it.
moredhel, I'll have to check back later to see your watercolour, it seems to be too much for my rural internet at the moment. Time for a reboot!

catbirds it also took me a while spot the bird! It looks really cool though XoX I love me some huge birds. I wonder if there is a story behind it that you’d like to share?
:P Yeah, okay, that wasn't the best artistic choice that I made at the time! I ought to keep on working on composition and contrast, but I think I've gotten better since!
There wasn't a story back when I painted it, but it became one over time because I kept using that OC in paintings (except with changed skin tone, clothes, etc...) Unfortunately, the bird snuck its way out of the main cast! It went from a story about a big bird and a tired labourer to one about a dragon-person and a tired mercenary, and who knows what it'll be by the time I put it to paper? But I like the bird, so it'll stay.

Oh! Wait, I haven't heard of this app! I should also be a good citizen and download it, especially because I live in an urban area in Canada. I only hope it doesn't register random passerby outside my house as close encounters :'D Thanks for letting me know, haha.

Oh, I meant that in a good way though. I think it has its own charm to notice the catch of a painting not at all and then all at once. It cannot be unseen once I first notice it anyway.

Not sure it's in use in all provinces - NL (where I live) and ON (where a friend lives) for sure, but a while back there was some cajoling going on to get provinces to sign up.

moredhel You did fine! Does look like a human for a start, and it was pretty clever of you to do it monochrome. Grappling with a new medium can be hard enough without adding more variables.
A brief and belated swerve off-topic because biology and birds.
Quote from: Vulpes
The biologist in me can't leave this alone... ::)
*snip quotes break inside spoilers*
I once found a few northern gannet primaries on a beach. It was immediately clear that they weren't gull primaries, which were also lying around - the barbules had quite broad bases, which made them more rigid, and the whole feather was... incredible. It makes perfect sense, though. Gulls mostly find their food along the shore. You may see them sit on the surface and dunk to grab something, or maybe drop into the water from a couple metres up, but that's it. Gannets on the other hand hunt from the air, and will dive from up to 30 metres, and may hit the water travelling at around 100 km/h. They fold their wings to do this, but those big primaries are still subjected to terrific forces, both in the air, on impact, and while diving through the water. That's why they have the extra reinforcement.
Vulpes I had no idea hunters' feathers are different! I have spent a fair amount of time admiring barbs on barbules because I'm weird... and at the other types of feather too. The inner layer on chests and other heat-sensitive areas are sooo silky to the touch and fluffy!

I just don't get the angles of a few planes in them, making up for it by glossing over noses in general and never daring to define them in harder views like extreme 3/4 profiles.

Waaah! I was lurking on tumblr a day ago and I saw these! The way they're connected is very intimidating, but the sculpture is impressive! The facial profile is very accurate, in my opinion. (Finally got around to following your blog now, I'm looking forward to your comic project! Is that the big project you're currently working towards? Hope I don't misinterpret things :P)
My high school art teacher told me that noses are, contrary to popular (?) belief, not distinct shapes and instead made up of values, so I understand the urge to not define them mmmmost of the time. I certainly don't, because cartoons or something! BUT they contribute greatly to a person's appearance, so I imagine studying them will benefit you greatly if you want to do realistic character design :)
catbirds I also took some time to spot the bird, distracted by you sheer commitment to architecture! I take a moment to rave about that bird again too, because why not?! It's beautiful! :sparkle:
Ah, the architecture! I went to town on that one! Thank you for appreciating it, I forgot for a while that it was something that I can do if I find the will to. Maybe I'll try some again once I get space in my room to start another painting.
Side note about birds: when I was learning about them, I was pretty surprised by how specialized their features were! Beak shapes for practically every lifestyle, from generalist to nectar feeding to seed eating to... the list goes on. Feathers... uh, I never got a close look at them because I have no microscope (and bad eyes lol), but wing shapes do vary greatly! And I've heard that barn owls have some kind of adaptation on the fringes of their feathers to fly nearly perfectly silently, but I've never seen it firsthand. Birds were pretty important to me as a younger artist because they got me to pay attention to tiny details. If you're interested, there's somehow always more to learn about them :D
Post by: Annuil on April 28, 2021, 08:23:23 AM
For me noses has become a lesser pain since I’ve learned the general shapes of them and practiced, but sometimes I just can’t get them right!
Especially if the nose has a strange shape (some of my characters have unusual shapes of noses), this is such a good idea! Just make them and use them as a reference...
ok, I’m done rumbling :'D sorry, I’m just astonished :))

Windy, that looks really interesting! I know church grims usually take the form of a dog, is the fellow with the horns the Churchgrim of the title? Now I want to know all about the variants of the church grim lore! *goes off to find Roísín*
Churchgrims in Scania at least take all kinds of shape! I read about them in a book, altough it was just a very short paragraph about churchgrims, but a rooster and a calf was mentioned as well as one church that had a man with antlers and as you can tell my brain just "I like you, you're mine now". Don't remember it saying anything specific about dogs, just as mentioned that they take all kinds of shapes. Might be a Scanian quirk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Good idea. Now I am wondering wich shade would have been the best.
And I think I am too enthusiastic about thining colors with water. The pink e. g. was made with scarlet lake. But at least there would have been a lot of more intensive tones.
I'm a color coward. When it comes to shading, rather than choose something in the same neighborhood as the original color, I go for something completely different. It feels less risky that way somehow? And it gives some fun pop. If that were my painting, and I wanted to add depth between the petals, I would probably take a sky blue colored pencil (or possibly a bold orange one, or maybe even both) and start feathering soft lines in the deepest creases of the rose, following the grain of the petal.
. . . I have no idea what you would do if you wanted to use watercolors instead of colored pencil, though.
Post by: catbirds on May 04, 2021, 11:27:33 PM
Whichever colour you choose for your shadow, just make sure it's not black! And be consistent.
Post by: Annuil on May 05, 2021, 08:35:15 AM
My main principle with shading is that there is always a difference in the “temperature” of the part of the object, which is shaded. Where there is light, it’s warm (so, thin yellow, orange washed at the very beginning of the painting usually give that vibe), where there is shade, it’s cold (light blue washes give the best result). It might change with the texture of the object, but generally that’s what I was taught and it has not betrayed me yet.
With the flower, blue, mixed with red maybe, so almost purple, but more into red, could be good for the shaded part... Rose color is generally a cold color, so if you add a slight wash of yellow or orange to the parts that are in the light it could add even more 3D effect to flower itself ;)
Good job with making watery watercolour. A watercolour without water is not a watercolour. I find it one of the hardest types of paint to master but I just love it. I had a very good teacher who showed me the techniques of working with it, so now it’s my primary media, when I need to color something :))
Uh... it’s always so hard to describe colours, I usually feel the color and paint, so oftentimes I don’t even think when I do that. I see and I paint, but then when I need to figure out how I managed to get a certain shade, it becomes a problem :'D
Post by: Keep Looking on May 05, 2021, 10:35:48 AM
Today I finally finished the painting I've been spending... months, really, working on. I think I've put about 50 hours into this? Anyway, it's done and dusted, and honestly it's quite a relief just to have completed it. It's definitely the biggest project I've ever taken on.

Keep, your painting is amazing! Well done, and the reflection that's not exactly a reflection is great, even if a little frightening! (what's on the other side of the mirror, one can ask...)
Ahah! I argued with myself for quite some time about the reflection, and decided that I was imagining things, but I'm glad to see you think it isn't quite a reflection, too. The plants seem to be reflected, but the figure... not quite. And yes, the effect is slightly unsettling. So well done.
moredhel, I like both versions of the rose! My limited experience of watercolour is of endless frustration, so I'm really impressed.

Great work, moredhel! The 3D feeling is there now! What kind of brushes do you use for watercolor? I was thinking that you are missing a tiny bit of sharpness in your artwork... it definitely isn't a bad thing, it may just be your style, so I'm just wondering. Otherwise, I like the vibrance of color now. (Isn't it cool how watercolor allows you to make a ton of layers and it wouldn't fall of, like oil paints would?..)
Layering watercolor is really great. I think it is because it is water pigment and only a little binder. Pastels or colored pencils are limited there, because they fall of the paper, or the pencils build up a lyer of binder (wax? oil? whatever it is) and it is not possible to draw on this layer.
It was lazy with this painting and used only a broad brush. I do have fine and very fine ones too, but for learning purposes with the broad one I can see better what I am doing wrong.

Annuil, so much talent and, I'm sure, lots of work! This last illustration is excellent! I do hope that someday you will be able to publish an illustrated book with your story. Maybe an e-book? (I would be tempted to buy it even if it was in Russian!)
I noticed that in this last image Nicklis' ears are pointing a bit down, while in the wedding they were a bit up. Is this a characteristic of his race, to show their emotions, or just happened?
BTW your gallery is filled with beautiful works! And I began reading your story. I'll tell you when I reach the end of the translated part! :)
Post by: Annuil on May 11, 2021, 10:18:28 PM
My plan is to print a teeny-tiny edition of that story (like 10-20 copies, in Russian...), fully illustrated, as a project for my portfolio this summer! ;D :reynir: We'll see how that goes.
grey, about the ears. Yes, his ears do move a little depending on the emotion/mood/level of strength. They become droopy, if he gets tired or sad or insulted or any other negative/embarrassing emotion. They also relax in a way when he sleeps and become a little lower. They can drop pretty far down, if he gets depressed or exhausted. Like, here,
https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsSnHPIBASO_zVdBRhH32ltL4BTP
(this drawing is a part of a different story, the scene takes place a few days after a very tiresome battle, so the ears show the level of weariness).
He also cannot control his ears, so one could tell if he's upset but doesn't want to show it by simply looking at the ears :'D
Most of the elves in my world have this "ability", but some stronger than others. Nicklis has a rather expressive character, but he works very hard to control his emotions, so ears are truly a problem to him :'D they drop and rise without first asking him. ;D
It is kinda fun to draw, since it gives an additional way to express the mood (great for comics! even thought I rarely do comics). It gives the characters a certain look. ;)
I'm glad you guys enjoy the website! I'll translate the pages there and refresh the gallery (some art there is rather old...). And add more translated chapters as I move on! ;D

Sorry about the quality but I did take a photo with my mobile phone because my scanner can not see the red I used in Many parts of the picture. Like the skin and the clothes. It looks strange.

moredhel, they are amazing! XoX Your watercolour skills are improving work after work!
I've been doing a lot of things... work related ones... but I found time to do some urban sketches for my daughter, that asked me to help illustrate a paper she was writing about Urban Evolution. So I thought that you may like them. :)
These were made at a new public plaza on an area previously occupied by industries, close to the sea. The pedestrian road below replaced an deactiveted railway that connected with the port (you can se a crane at the end), and in the second sketch you can see all those new buildings in an area filled with warehouses, some of them still remaining (but not for long, I suppose). BTW that thing in the middle that looks like a chimney is a sculpture that works as a historic reference to the actual chimneys that existed there.

Thanks, moredhel, for continuing to share your progress with us. I agree that you really nailed the eyes in the portrait (Poe?). That focus really helps make a portrait and your development in getting that control is heartening.
Post by: moredhel on May 26, 2021, 05:11:18 PM
wavewright62 the eyes are ok. They are very much improvisation, because the photo of poe I used as reference did not show much details. But I tried to guess what it could look like and what I would want it to look like.
Post by: thegreyarea on May 26, 2021, 06:14:55 PM
I tried to focus on what I liked most, the atmosphere of the place, with all that change. It will look very different in a short (in urban terms) time, say 10 years, and that always fascinates me. :)
EDIT: I've posted here a pic that, as pointed in the messages below by Jitter and Róisín (thanks!), effectively belongs to the SSSS Art Museum, so I moved it. It's in this post. (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=35.msg182263#msg182263)

Post by: catbirds on May 31, 2021, 11:26:36 PM
I vaguely understand this from two perspectives, both because my parents didn't want to give me an English name but had to and because I'm not a fan of my name. I really wish parents gave us a choice in the matter!

So I tend to use my middle names which are more Anglo sounding, though even the middle name that I use as a forename gets misspelled because it can be either a male or a female name (Beverley being more commonly the female spelling, Beverly the commoner form for males, though even that isn’t invariable). And my family also has a tendency to name kids after honoured ancestors, or after kin or close friends who die around the time the baby is born. Don’t mind that, did it with my own kids, and my oldest son is named after both of his grandfathers, which was the usage in both my family and my first husband’s family. And one of my greatnieces loved her own forename, which is another non-gendered name (Rowan) until she reached high school, where she was in a class with several other Rowans who were all boys and pretty objectionable boys at that. So she rather regretfully started using her much more girlie middle name and did so all through school.
And Windy, that is indeed something to think about.

My parents had six kids. The first was a girl, then they had two boys. They had three more boys trying to get another girl. The last three of us were supposed to be named Maryjo. I was the last child which left them undecided on a name so the nurse suggested Danny Joe. There were six Dannys in my age group in our small town, three of us were Danny Joes. I've always felt indifferent to my name.
I feel indifferent to my name, but not because it's common - it's relatively rare for me to meet another with it. But I don't identify with it. It's merely a label, something for people to call me besides "Hey you!". I dislike my middle name, though, so it's not that I don't care about names in general. When I was a kid I desperately wished I had a cool nickname, because I figured that would "fit" in a way that my given name never has. Alas, I was never gifted with a decent nickname, so I continue to use the label I was given at birth.

I'm pretty fond of my name, although it is vexingly gendered. I'm named for a relative, though, so I don't think I'd feel right choosing a new one. I relate to that desire for nicknames- my name may be mine, but I wouldn't mind something more abstract or androgynous to go by, informally. Unfortunately my name is very short so diminutives were never on the table :)) I wound up giving myself nicknames in grade-school, all embarrassing as only an eight year old can come up with ('Hawk' was okay, but none stuck, haha)
Interestingly, every other person I've known with my name... doesn't have my name anymore. Its become a deadname, several times over. Which hasn't simplified the gender feels, let me tell you.

It’s my last name that causes problems for people, even some Russians get confused, however I do not see it as an issue for myself. I accepted what was given to me and live in harmony with my own self at least about this topic.
However, I do understand that some names are a pain to live with. It is legal in some countries to change your name, though I do know it can be hard. I hope you will find a way to solve the name problem, Windfighter! :)
Back to art!
moredhel, you’re truly getting better and better at that watercolour! It’s so fun to see your progress :))
Wave, that cat looks so great! I wish I could pet it! I always wanted to go to one of those cat-caffes at some point, but I haven’t heard of any anywhere close to where I live.

My real first name is so common and boring so I never use it. Not that it's a bad name but just not me you know? Fake internet names are made from how people are feeling at that time they made it up. Real life names are a lot of times names from previous generations from your family and might not fit you at a certain point in your life. Or it may never fit you. I remember when I was young being annoyed at my name for not being interesting. Nowadays I... well it's still boring but it's not annoying anymore.

Wave, I love your elephant sketch as usual :) I always enjoy seeing how easily you flicker between the fine details and features and then the general shape of a creature. Not sure if that's intentional, but it's certainly there!
Moredhel, again, you're making such great jumps with your watercolour-ing skills! Your bush and dragon are very detailed, and you've actually gotten pretty good at painting humans! Neat, especially since it's watercolour. Also, I used to do a type of folk dance thing involving chinese dragons. They're pretty interesting creatures :P
Annuil, your art style makes humans look very human and very stylized. I like the work you did on the freckles and the shirt texture!

I drew these a couple of months ago (before work got really crazy) in response to a joke JoB made about the community safe zone not having a place to quarantine an entire pod of sky whales.D'aaaawwwww. ;D
I believe these beautiful whales can be fairly comfortable here: https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=1139.0Minor nitpick, the task in question was not just to house them (as far as someone who can float in the plenty of plane-free air above Y90 you needs "housing" in the first place) but to have them quarantined, with all the perimeter-proofing required for a controlled environment ...
(Yeah, fresh water lakes, but you can’t have everything)
And now I'm imagining people riding them...[shudders as he remembers that attaching things (like GPS tracers) to RL whales still usually requires harpoons, thanks to water vs. air drag and according evolutionary body adaptations]

As for the riding, if the whale agreed to the concept, maybe a harness of some type could work? It would however cause major drag… so perhaps a streamlined compartment or, well, pod, for the human would be better. Built of the same self-adhesive material the cat rank collars are?
Which reminds me, some old art by Minna has very cool steed concepts featuring fantasy animals!

A sweet sketch! But shouldn’t the harness be between the head and the fins to have at least some support against sliding off at the tail? Not that the whales’ “shoulders” allow much purchase for anything to be attached to them.(reads the first part and agrees (as always) with Jitter)

When I was a child it was expensive to get light on public roads an places. It was possible to see hints of the milky way even within the village where i lived. After going to the next valley where no lights were it was possible to see a lot of it. But in the last decades more and mor lights were installed everywhere and they are now much brighter so it is impossible to see the milky way.

I do remember the milky way as i saw it as a child. It can be simulated in the countryside by searching a dark valley a few kilometers away from all houses.
A geology that creates deep valleys is helpful.

I also love the stars. Here in the north, the best stargazing time is in the winter, and the sky is clear on very cold nights only. Still, I very much hope to be able to arrange some sort of stargazing thing for myself and family. We went to an astronomy night in Canada and it was lovely! But not nearly dark enough for the “sneezing glitter” (great expression!) effect.

I feel like I've gotten asked a couple of times if there's a story related to a painting I've made, and the answer is No but I'll steal ideas from old paintings sometimes, so they might end up being connected somewhat. And maybe one day I'll be a writer, that'd be fun.
Stargazing in the north... I was told that the sky becomes clearer in the winter because of the temperature, which I guess causes moisture to condense and fall to the surface of the Earth? I'm not a meteorologist so IDK, it's probably more complicated than that. It'd be nice to stargaze with family in the winter, when you can lie down and be cozy without bugs biting you everywhere, but that comes with its own challenges (cold). I hope you get to see lots of stars when the time comes! (I'll keep all this advice for when I eventually find someone who's interested in the sky? ...it's best to not go camping alone!)

But anyway, holla any traditional printmakers here! I'm temporarily retired from lithography and etching on account of not having a studio since I graduated, and working on developing my own webcomic instead of "fine" art :'3 I loved seeing Minna's screenprinting assignment after reading aRTD, I miss it all so much! If I had my way, didn't give af about my readers and a "schedule", and was crazy enough, I'd make my comic entirely in woodcuts

I've dabbled in printmaking with linocuts (just recreationally) and have enjoyed it - although you sound like you have a lot of experience in the printmaking area, and with a much wider range of techniques. Lithography and etching sound really neat - I've read a bit about them, but it's never been something I've had the opportunity to do myself.
Here's a linocut I made recently (not the best photograph of it, but hey, you can see it).

I only once made a linocut at school but I decided I like my fingers too much to try it again.
ohnosir I am not in the middle of nowhere. But my watercolors are done very watery I tend to dissolve even watercolor papers. The one I know I like working with seems not to be sold by anybody I can find inside the EU. It may be because the paper is relatively expensive but I would pay to avoid the crazy times it takes to get it via mail from china. Currently I try other papers but I am not happy with the ones I tried.

Oh well then, I wasn't too far off with dancing/fencing! ;D
I remember being taken to my first orchestral concert (aside from in utero, when I apparently did somersaults during Bartók) at the age of about 6. It must've been a matinee performance for little kids. Mum explained that a well-dressed man with slightly wild white hair would come out and wave a little white stick at the players to keep them in time. I was quite entranced by him, he was almost a caricature of The Conductor, and was great fun to watch. I recall being thrilled by the timpani, too, but never got the chance to try percussion.
I like the sketches! Such a great way to force yourself to focus on the essence of a person. I've tried it in the past, but never practiced enough to get any good. Some day, when I'm less busy...

It looks like a 3D effect of thick blood.
That was what I wanted to achieve. I am very happy how good it worked. But I needed a smaller brush to paint near the white highlights with some precision.

It is not in the fingers. The pencils are so smooth and react immediately to pessure changes and are so pigmented. It is so effortless to use them it feels like the thougts go directly to the paper. This is as close to magic as something can get. All I do is like Waldemar Januszczak said 'paint what you see'.

Post by: wavewright62 on May 10, 2022, 03:50:48 AM
Great drawing, Wave. That fellow on the right is particularly well done. I can see his glasses, ear, hair, the pattern of his jacket... What did you use for the shadows?
This whole drawing was a second choice. First choice was the large sculpture and fountain just 'offscreen' to the left - the tree framing the left was used to frame the right of that discarded picture. The lady in the midground and the gentleman on the right (who incidentally was also wearing a ball cap) were also drawing that. The gentleman in the midground facing away from me was drawing the skateboarders and tanks vaguely alluded to in the distance.
I was attempting to draw the sculpture and surrounds with some coloured drawing pens, then was going to use use some watercolours to add shading but alas! those drawing pens were not, in fact, impervious to water like the black ones I have. An hour's work laying out the intricate geometric lines of the sculpture and fitting random passers-by in perspective was ruined with the first swipe to lay in background colour.
Annoyed and disheartened, but with another 20 minutes to go before the group assembled for the group korero, I took out the cheap-ass sketch pad and a halfway-dried-out brushpen and looked at something else for a while. That went okay, so shading was added with ink wash.
Now you know.
(The ruined drawing is no longer available, as my daughter was using watercolours next to me, and appreciated the piece of high-quality paper. She painted something on the back.)

What a fine resource! Imagine those tanks as surfaces for public art. Something like that has recently been done in Western Australia, with old silos and industrial buildings used as underlying substrates for some truly amazing murals of WA flora and fauna, with panels of information about what the viewer sees put under the pictures. A project like that could really enhance the city, turning an eyesore into wonderful public art. Educational opportunity as well!
Yes, I've seen some of these! Notable examples are the Wellington Dam and the grain silos down in Albany, Ravensthorpe and some of the towns in the wheatbelt. Also in various parts of the city and country areas, you can find smaller murals painted on the, uh... those metal boxes that I think are for electrical or water stuff or something? The ones that are a bit smaller than the size of a person.

Fresh and waste water (and district heating) explicitly dislike having to hop 1+m up above ground level every now and then just because some maintenance guy rather wouldn't nosedive. Oh, and gas would be a possibility, if there are networks in your area - but IIUC their "boxes" tend to be bigger, and plastered with no smoking / explosive signs.)

Is it colored pencils?Yes because I did nothing for months so I did something that was always easy and fun so this is a frame from a music video drawn with colored pencils (not the expensive ones because it could have gone wrong).
moredhel,Thank you.
So very pretty. Very nice.
I especially like how you did they eye.

Yet the fact that someone else is even more talented doesn’t mean that you are not talented at all :) Whatever the reason you draw and paint so well, I enjoy your work!

And how do you define artistic talent anyway? What percentage of people would you say possess it? Because I'm pretty sure you're in a pretty high percentile, as far as artistic aptitude goes

Also I want to tell you I am sorry you have such childhood experience. Notwithstanding whether there is a lot, a little, or none at all, there is no reason whatsoever to tell a child in kindergarten that they don’t have talent in something! I’m angry at your kindergarten now >:( This may well have something to do with the way you loose connection to your creativity when you are not feeling well. Bad, bad kindergarten!
Post by: moredhel on May 17, 2022, 03:53:47 AM
Moredhel, I don't understand how a lack of artistic talent can even be judged in kindergarten.They could judge my inability to coordinate my hands (feeling the urge to draw for some decades did correct it to some degree). But yes that is not about talent. But the teachers at school shared that opinion. Because theory or history questions, no problem, painting something, not so good.
The existence of talent, sure, but a kid that young might simply not be great at expressing their talents yet. That sounds like a very weird kindergarten.I would define Talent as the ability to do things with less training or with training to reach a level of skill that is unreachable for most people. The kid is my favourite example he tends to draw pokemon. He starts with the linework he does not believe in pencils he just takes a black alkohol marker looks at his reference for 5 seconds and than draws the lines. Than he fills in the colors and he has a copy of his reference in the size he wanted it. This clearly is talent I could never do this.
And how do you define artistic talent anyway? What percentage of people would you say possess it? Because I'm pretty sure you're in a pretty high percentile, as far as artistic aptitude goes
I have no ideo how many talented people do exist. To test that you would have to force a randomised sample of the population to try to really achieve something in the field of arts. Sounds impossible to me.

There is no point in arguing about this, but please take to heart that we really enjoy your work, Moredhel! Especially the way you have taught yourself the watercolors and we have had the privilege to see your development.I do enjoy making this stuff so everybody wins.

Bad, bad kindergarten!I totally hated Kindergarten when I had to go there. I don't think there is a connection to the phenomenon that my creativity just gets self destructive when I feel too bad. Sometimes I wonder if Tolkien knew someon who was mentally not standard in the same way as I am because it is as if I had an inner Melkor.

Creativity often comes with a price. Maybe it's something about the wiring in a creative brain that makes us more susceptible for the bad feels. Mine aren't usually as extreme as what you described although I have been in the "hope the kids are all right watching telly when I lie down in the dark room" situation, but at least that is not the norm for me. But we all know the great artists' suffering, ear-cutting comes to mind. Let's be happy we have somewhat less talent and hopefully somewhat less suffering.
Anyways my point was exactly what you said yourself: everybody wins, when you get make art and we get to enjoy it :) Thank you!

*in my opinion if we use a loose definition of beauty that includes harmony and music too we can use a very wide definition of everyone. E. g. there is a genre of videos on youtube where people bring pianos to zoos or the asian countryside and plying some music and the elephants do enjoy the music. (this comparison is harder to do for visual arts because most animals where we can make an informed guess un their feelings do not see colors).

Wanted to add something for clarification why I have an issue with talent. Talent is something you do have or not it is pure chance. But I am proud of what I achieved because I did put some effort in it. I do try to draw pretty things since I was 3 years old. There were some interruptions but I practiced this for years, Even as a kid and kids can have a attention span below zero. I did use up loads of pencils I filled literally thousands of pages. And when someone says it is done with talent that feels like it is devaluating my work. For sure you all can not know this so sorry to everyone for being a weirdo about this.
I just caught up with this discussion, and I think you hit on something really important here. I would argue that most people, given sufficient motivation, can produce excellent art/music/whatever thing they do, but only with great effort. A lucky few have talent, whatever that is, and can (for example) pick up pens and draw apparently without effort. So for the vast majority of people, it is insulting to say they're talented, because their "talent" is the result of many hours of practice, driven by their desire to express themselves. Thanks for pointing that out.
I am, in the words of a colleague, "a proud dilettante". He meant it as an insult - not directed at me personally, but in general at anyone who dabbles in this and that - but I've taken it as a badge of honour. I have, at various times, been serious about playing cello, competitive bicycling, black-and-white photography including developing and printing my work, sailing, digital photography including post-processing, swimming... the list goes on. I've never excelled at any of them. I have got pretty good at them all, and in some cases might be considered "a natural", in the sense that I did pretty well without putting a great deal of effort in. But there's the key - I didn't put in the effort, the 10,000 hours of practice, to become excellent. So nobody called me a talented cellist, cyclist, photographer, etc. I don't know if they ever would have, had I put in the effort, but I didn't so we'll never know! :))
I have the greatest respect for anyone who actually devotes the time to mastering something, and will try from now on to remember not to call them talented! But I also value my broad range of skills and experience, and don't regret having dabbled in so many things. I enjoy string quartets all the more knowing the challenges of playing a string instrument, even if I don't play any more. I appreciate a skillfully composed and retouched photograph precisely because I know I could do a half-arsed job of it and am impressed by the devotion someone had to do it well. I think both groups - the focused, who work hard to become excellent, and the dilettantes who try everything that catches their fancy - are important to keeping the world ticking along.
Sorry about the wall of text, I thought it was such a good point and it got me thinking about talent vs effort, my colleague's insult, and valuing different ways of being, so I started "thinking with my fingers".
TL;DR - good point moredhel, what looks like raw talent is usually hard effort.
Post by: Róisín on May 18, 2022, 03:15:05 AM
One of the younger cousins had the same thing with music. We would introduce him to some instrument he had never heard of before (including, to my amazement, one of the early electronic synthesizers), and in a few weeks he would be playing it well enough to be pleasant to listen to, and in a few months he would be playing it on stage.
For me it was plants. Learning a new plant always felt like being reminded rather than taking on new information. But I never cease to be amazed by the people who can do that with art!
Post by: moredhel on May 18, 2022, 05:54:16 AM
I don't know if that should be a general rule. Maybe some of them like to be called talented.

The ability to appreciate things more with growing knowledge might be the reason why in renaissance people believed that for ideal personal development you should have learned in all fields that are there. It is no longer possible to really master every field but I personally believe it still is a good idea.
I think both groups - the focused, who work hard to become excellent, and the dilettantes who try everything that catches their fancy - are important to keeping the world ticking along.For sure if we all tried everything in the same way world would be a horrible place.

I at least liked very much to read it.

There is always that balance of talent and application. Not easy! It is the people who have both who become the real masters.For sure. To become a master you need the talent and the madness to dedicate your life to it.
Mind you, I speak as someone who has a passion for art, who knows clearly what I want to make and exactly how it should look, but for whom no amount of application, practice and hard work can make the art actually work.It is possible with enough practice to make the difference between how it should look and how it is less painful.
Whereas my youngest son started drawing as soon as he could physically hold a pencil, and spent the time from about age two to age four drawing cows coming or going, people walking toward and away, and such like things, until he had worked out perspective for himself. I watched the process happening and was amazed, but could not emulate that process. Music and plants came to him in the same way.Perspective and composition are hard. that is the reason why so many people and things in drawings have to exist in a white void.
One of the younger cousins had the same thing with music. We would introduce him to some instrument he had never heard of before (including, to my amazement, one of the early electronic synthesizers), and in a few weeks he would be playing it well enough to be pleasant to listen to, and in a few months he would be playing it on stage.This sounds like a really great expierience.

Post by: tehta on May 18, 2022, 06:58:43 AM
My reasoning for this is as follows: I would like to know that things are not hopeless, and I will get somewhere someday. I had the opposite experience with music: I played the flute for many years, and I can technically read music and produce the right sounds, but cannot do anything creative, or even play back things played at me without a huge intellectual effort. So, a complete anti-talent. I feel a bit better about painting and drawing: at least some aspects do feel intuitive (after a bunch of practice, but still).
So, Moredhel, when i said I see talent in your drawings, what I meant is that they give me a very different vibe than my belaboured flute-playing.
Post by: moredhel on May 18, 2022, 09:45:24 AM
There is always that balance of talent and application. Not easy! It is the people who have both who become the real masters.This is sad when I think about it. All the wasted talent. What Music could we have with a second Bach? What plays where there with a second Shakespeare? Where would science and technology be with a second Newton? Chances are these geniuses existed but never learned anything about composition, mathematics, physics or even writing because they were women.

I must admit I´m a bit torn on it. I enjoy to be called talented. I have been told I was talented with drawing and music when I was little, and it motivated me to keep going. But I´m by now very aware that without the resulting amount of practice I put into it, I would never have reached my current skill-level. There are many aspects of art you simply have to learn to do well (and I still have to learn a lot of them). And then I look at things I´ve given up on thinking myself hopeless and talent-free... "Talent" is really something you shouldn´t get too hung up on if you still enjoy doing something. Especially when it´s regarding something you really can´t objectively judge, like art.
At this point I get a bit of a mixture between flattered and angry when someone ascribes all the work I put into something to talent. Maybe it was there to begin with, maybe not, but it wasn´t what brought me to this point. There were many hours of practice here!
And let me join in on Jitter´s rant at moredhel´s kindergarden, because why would you tell a kid that they´re untalented at art??? Art, music and so on are such wonderfull passtimes and ways of expression, why would you actively demotivate someone to find comfort in it!?
And speaking of Jitter, I remembered the other day that I never posted the comission I drew for her here. It was very fun to do, though I´m afraid it´ll stay the only commission I take/took for now, as I´m quite busy at the moment (training to become a 3D-Artist! Hence the whole talent-discussion hitting a bit close to home right now. :'D So much practice necessary, but very fun!)

The kindergaten was run by catholic nuns without any education in running a kindergarten. I assume they did not know better. And I did break a lot of pencils and crayons in my drawing attempts.

Re teachers squelching creativity - in kindergarten at Christmas we were given appropriately-themes pictures to colour; I got a candy cane. This was on white paper, so I was left with a problem: candy canes are generally red and white (maybe a bit of green too), but white crayon on white paper doesn't really show. I mulled this over for a bit, and decided to use the "opposite colour" - I coloured the white parts black. Pity I didn't know about colour negatives at that point, or I might have coloured the red parts blue! We had to show our efforts to the teacher, who got quite annoyed with me and said, "Candy canes aren't black!" and made me go fix it. She didn't think to ask me why I'd coloured it black. I was a painfully shy and unassertive child, so I dutifully "fixed" it. The next year I was called back to the art room to fix another picture, this time a drawing of a barn in which I'd painstakingly drawn all the nail heads. When I painted it, they were hidden, but I couldn't be bothered to put them back, especially as it would be wet on wet paint. I thought it was a bit unfair of the teacher to insist that I do so. So funny the things we remember, and for so long!

It is funny how things "stick" in your head and affect how you act and what you do years later.
I went to a parochial grade school. In the 7th grade in was mandatory for us to sing in the choir.
I still remember the nun telling me to "mouth the words dear" I still do not sing Not even alone in the car.
I try to always be kind though remembering that.
Post by: Vulpes on June 11, 2022, 09:54:34 AM
I try to always be kind though remembering that.
There's the key - take your own unpleasant experience, learn from it, and try to make the world a better place. I try to remember to ask people why they do things I don't understand, thanks to that teacher! I'm sorry you don't sing, I don't have much of a voice but I enjoy singing (especially alone in the car!) very much. There's no harm in doing some kind of hobby enthusiastically but not terribly well - often the enthusiasm makes up for the flaws.
Pointless anecdote #438: I grew up going to a rather stuffy, moderately-high-Anglican church. We had the things to flip down to kneel on, and did a lot of stand-up-and-sing, sit-down-to-listen, kneel-to-pray. It was tedious. We had a very good choir and professional organist. Then I went to church of a different denomination with a friend in a small town. My friend's granny played the organ, grampa was the lone bass in the choir, and there were perhaps five other choir members. The organ-playing was laboured, the singing wasn't always on key, but boy did they mean it! There was no kneeling, when the congregation stood to sing they positively leapt up, and joined with (offkey) gusto. What a contrast! It remains the only religious service I actually enjoyed.

Mirasol, that small tree in the blue kettle/teapot looks like a pine or juniper pruned in the style of bonsai called ‘cloud pruning’. Lovely drawing!
Oh, that´s really cool! Thanks for the info! I think bonsai are really pretty, so I just had to draw one. :)
But like with all the plants, I only had a pretty vague idea or unspecified reference photo of what real plants they would resemble and kind of let the rule of cool take over from there. So it´s nice to hear what plant it actually is!
Markers?? Wow! That is impressive, no run-off or smears!! I'd have smudges and marks everywhere!!
Not something I could ever accomplish
(the smudges ended up on my hands in fact :'D) No but seriously, I find it much easier to not smudge markers than paint... Which is probably entirely due to the training of two YoinkTobers on this lovely Forum.
That being said, the yellow in the background is watercolor, I had no marker that was really desaturated enough.

)Welcome back from your vacation, Vulpes!
And I agree, the most professionally prepared performances can be dreadfull if there´s no heart behind it! I only really know small, unprofessional church-choirs and over-enthusiastically singing congregations, but I´ve had a similar experience with opera a few times. (it might be weird for a nineteenyearold to like opera so much, but I grew up with it and classical music in general so bear with me ^^') The ones that end up on TV with the much-praised orchestration and big names as the performers and so on always tend to lose my attention after a while. Big metaphors are nice and all, but if you barely see any true emotion on people´s faces, they don´t really land in my opinion. That odd combo just lets me lose track of what is happening. But I went to (and even participated) in some operas performed by professional solists but an amateur choir. Our singing definitly wasn´t on key all the time, but still one of the most frequent feedback we got there was that people loved watching because especially the choir seemed to be having so much fun. (we were indeed having lots of fun! :)) )

Great stuff MintheTea! I especially like the Hiisi! There’s something really fascinating about deer-type antlers on a humanoid. Is the hiisi a protagonist or a threat?
The Hiisi (I'll be using his name, Juha, for simplicity going forward) is a bit of a dubious character in terms of the story. Juha isn't entirely a helpful figure, sometimes seeming like he's actively antagonizing the main protagonist and making her life harder. And yet at other times he helps her through situations that could potentially get her killed for no clear reason. He's a bit of a does what he wants when he wants sort of character, closer in personality to the more modern interpretations of the Hiisi as I've come to understand them but physically far more ancient and threatening.

Are Rune’s ears hairy or feathered? In either case they are lovely! In the sketch all of the winged ones are him? I’m asking because the two bottom ones look like they are playing or chasing each other :)
Rune's ears are feathered, nice and fluffy looking to match his wings. And yes all the sketches are of him! My sketch pages tend to get a bit cluttered is all ^^

Is the Hiise as big as it seems in the sketch?
And should I ask how the harpy got those glasses? Anyway he (?) must be an impressive view with those huge red wings.
Looking forward for more!

Amazing work, MintheTea! O_O

Juha (The Hiisi) Is capable of shifting his form, becoming larger the less human he appears. So yes it is possible for him to get as large as he is in the sketch (And larger). Typically he stands around 207cm (6’9” i believe) though.
As for how the harpy got his glasses, sometimes they’re just born with poor vision as humans are, such is the case for Rune. He does show off his wings often (he knows he’s a gorgeous bird ;) )

Rune’s eye appointments are definitely much longer than average unfortunately for him! And yes Juha has a tail in all forms, even when he’s as close to human as he gets he still has a tail and small antlers. Hasn’t quite mastered the whole looking human thing yet. Thank you for all the kind words!

One of the main cast using sign language lives on! Rune uses a bit of a mishmash of Danish sign and British sign (despite being Norwegian) as one of his primary forms of communication. He can talk but he’s hard of hearing so sometimes has difficulties hearing himself and others speaking.
As for the other two, Esbjörn and Jannick are dubiously a couple. Jannick being the troll man with the funky tattoos and Esbjörn being the smaller Huldrekall. Jannick’s tattoos don’t have much meaning, they just look neat (and are a nightmare to draw).

Dropping a concept piece for that short comic i was mentioned, featuring our very tentative main character and an incredibly familiar swan. I’m sort of leaning towards a simplified watercolor esque style with bits of texture sprinkled throughout.
No guarantee about the color of the swan remaining orange, it just fit with the color scheme i was going for. (The purple and orange palette Minna used for Tuonela in aRTD has infested my brain in a very good way)
This scene would come closer to the end of the comic as our main character tries to escape death. That’s about the only thing I have fully planned as of now though! Enjoy.
Post by: Jitter on July 28, 2022, 06:12:47 AM
However I recommend changing the color of the Swan to avoid directly copying it from Minna. There is nothing in the mythology about it’s color (it’s actually only briefly mentioned in the Kalevala for example) so I would assume it was expected to be white like all swans are (in Finland). Your mythical creature can of course be any color, but if it’s orange like that it looks like the Minna Sundsberg Swan of Tuonela.
Btw have you read Year in Hereafter? The Swan features in it too on occasion! Miikka’s art style changes a lot during the comic so far so I think there are a couple of versions of the Swan there http://yihcomic.com/pages/page1.php
Note however that the story is unfinished and it’s being made as a labor of love rather than work, which means it sometimes goes on long hiatus. Miikka came back to it just recently so hopefully it will keep going for a while now. Unfortunately the artist comment part was lost during the last page overhaul, it might have been useful reading for you as an aspiring webcomic artist. Anyways well worth a read!

What a lovely piece! I really like your style!

Yeah that's about what I figured with the swan. Still mucking around with colors and all that and sometimes inspiration draws far too heavily from the source! I'll probably distinguish it from other swans by giving it a more expressive face rather than making it orange. Tuonela itself will shift in colors and design as well, I'm considering more of a blue and orange-red rather than purple and orange like it's depicted in aRTD.
And I have! I'm going in for a re-read recently as I lost track after his first big break so my understanding of the plot is sort of wonky but it's definitely going to be worth it! I didn't know anyone else on this forum read/was actively reading YiH.
Post by: Jitter on July 28, 2022, 01:31:31 PM
In the Finnish tradition Tuonela twndw to be very boring. It’s depicted almost as normal life (people have houses and work on fields etc) but leached of everything. There is no color, no emotion, no satisfaction. No toil ever results in reward. Sometimes the dead eat, but the food doesn’t taste like anything and it doesn’t nourish. On the other hand there is no particular pain either, just a nothingness to everything. But such a Tuonela would also look boring :)

And my nice then used my supplies to make her first watercolor painting.

She does mix some nice colors. And she did paint concentrated for two hours that is quite long for a two year old. My mum and I hope she has inherited the paintery gene.

Now those are really nice, Moredhel! I particularly like your version of the "Starry Night Over the Rhone".
(And looking for the original reminded me that Van Gogh has two famous starry night paintings!)
As for your niece, two hours is a very long time for someone so young, therefore she probably enjoyed it a lot! I think those genes are there!

And some equally lovely Paris/Van Gogh-inspired art, moredhel! And I´m glad your niece also has fun painting! There´s a remarkable amount of paint on the paper and not anywhere else (sorry, I just can´t help but remembering back to my first painting-attempts as a toddler which were apparently... rather messy :P :'D)
dmeck, that is a great idea. :'D Only thing to make them perfect would be to make them different colors, or I´d mix them up whenever I don´t fully look up...
I´ll be in Italy for the next two weeks, which means I won´t be here most likely, though that doesn´t really change anything, I´ve been lurking for a while now... :-[ But NEVERTHELESS! Have some art before I leave:
I painted this for my mom on mothersday (never got around to posting it...), as I gifted her a (from my current point of view) an absolutely ugly squirrel-drawing years ago for a birthday and she found it recently and put it up on the fridge. I cringed every time I walked past and decided to make a better one as soon as the opportunity arises. :V
So here it is! Painted with watercolors.

This is my newest work. This is the first time I am happy for my lack of skill. Because the title is 'has been called trash by her husband'. As I posted this and the title all over the internet inclusive places where she and her husband can see it I am happy the likeness is not so good. Because in germany we have a law against publishing pictures of non consenting people. But my inner troll is howling I shoul improve and then repost it and watch that server burn.

Thank you for posting this picture, moredhel. This is good work, for several reasons. I can see that making the picture look more like the actual woman would be sending a message to the husband and wife that making sweeping judgements about a person's (lack of) value is a mistake.
But leaving the face in the picture as a more "generic" face means that we can all put ourselves in the place of that person. Your work then becomes a statement for all of us, that we are more than the words people say about us. That's huge!
In Edvard Munch's "The Scream", that face is a symbol - it could be anybody! And so we can all look at that painting and relate to the terror.

Comic ideas have been shunted to the side as i prepare to go off to college/continue my job in the meantime. Juha and Rune and Katrin are still beloved to me but my little popcorn brain keeps generating ideas with no constructed plot and i have realized i have no clue where to start with comic pages.
And i’ve joined a few campaigns for different tabletop rpgs, including planning on starting my own using the Changeling: The Lost system, set in Modern Finland. Which meansssss (drumroll)
Juha is not dead! And you get some more scandinavian/scandinavian adjacent characters!
(https://i.imgur.com/UDootAO.jpg)
Introducing Herra Juha Äjälainen (once again) and Reynar Háleygsson. Juha is ethnically finnish, lives in finland, hasn’t ever really left aside from his brief stint into the vauge fae world. And Reynar is Faroese/Icelandic but currently lives and works in Finland. Those big monsters you see in back are how they truly look as changelings.
I’ll hopefully be a little less dead here as I get all excited about this campaign! I haven’t abandoned my webcomic ideas completely I’m just a little scattered at the moment. What with art, job, minecraft server, and personal projects.

I don’t know anything about the Changeling system so I don’t know which is their true form, but the resemblance between the two works well.
The “true form” of the changelings is the more monster-y looking one. Their human form exists as something to show to regular humans so they aren’t caught and exposed to the True Fae (in this system, Malevolent beings who thrive off of causing problems)
Post by: Turnstylus on December 26, 2022, 03:56:29 PM
And I'm glad you're going to keep developing Juha and Reynar. The fact that they have such different appearances from each other is interesting to me, and makes me wonder if they come from different species(?) or locales. I'm new to Changeling lore myself, so please pardon my ignorance.
You and I find ourselves in similar places: I have a couple of comic projects that I would really like to get off the ground, but there are other projects (some for paying clients) that get pushed to the front of the line.
A cousin of mine just sold a supplement book for D&D 5E on Kickstarter, and I have been painting the illustrations for him. It's a survival-horror supplement, which I understand to mean that the book gives players tools to tell stories that have realistic and compelling horror elements. Case in point: there will be a more complete system for working out lycanthropy, and so I get to draw fellows like this:

Gonna go through this in chunks. It is good to be back! I've just been scattered but it's good to see I'm not alone.
-Juha and Reynir are different Seemings (types) of changelings with different Kiths (Subtypes) so they look pretty different. No two changelings are ever the same.
-commissions are always interesting! I don't get many but I'm not the best at putting myself out there.
-survival horror dnd is definitely a concept i can get behind! If i had the money I'd by the book but I'm saving up. VERY nice werewolf!
I wish you luck with your endeavours as I go about mine. There are many many more changelings involved, as well as a few vampires.

Lineup number Two! Featuring Khonsu Maglasang, Sul Rojas, Herra Pyry Kemppainen, and Iida Sundberg. Khonsu and Pyry are Vampires, Iida is a changeling, and Sul is human.
Pyry’s name is a bit of a pun based from their general demeanor towards people, because fun joke names will never be unfunny to me.
Fun fact, this image is the same size as my last one if anyone wanted to do some height guesstimations. Sul is 5’1.

You've included the sort of personal details on each person that suggest pieces of their history and/or what they value. They are colorful and relatable!
The lighter areas on Iida (hands, feet/talons, tail feathers, etc.) are filled with some abstract shapes, made from simple circles and squares. They look like windows onto another dimension, or a storm cloud of lavender geometry. Very fascinating!

I´ve been telling you about how I do 3D-Art several times, but I believe I never showed any of it. So here´s this little guy, designed, modeled, 3D-printed and painted by me, over the course of the last two/three semesters. He´s about 18cm long counting the tail and fully poseable, including his ears and jaw. Homework was actually just the design, but I got too attached to it and made it (been chipping away at it whenever I had a moment, and now it´s finally finished! :)) Though the virtual version icluded some cables I haven´t added yet. I´m not sure if I still will, I already like it like this.). One of my teachers helped me with the photos (and then I completely butchered them to get them to a format I could post here whoops).

Also a character-portrait I made this semester. It´s a 3D-interpretation of the second picture in this artwork (not mine) https://www.artstation.com/artwork/GXZQnd (https://www.artstation.com/artwork/GXZQnd)
great work
It´s not properly rendered yet (posing and lighting are still a bit wonky), but this is the final preview.I already like it.

Amazing work Mirasol!Agreed. The Puppy is really cool. (looks to me like a doggo BB-8 :) )
The young person is really nice also (I am unsure if you wanted them to have a gender, but they looked female-ish to me :) :

Hm I must touch up the dog-pictures some more though, in the first one the jaw is actually open but you can barely see it...
(looks to me like a doggo BB-8 :) )
BB-8 as in this one? (Sorry I haven´t seen any Star Wars movies but the first three that were made... ^^')

But I have seen some clips of this one, and it does have a similar vibe as what I was going for (friendly lil robot companion with a bit of a cheeky streak), so I´m honored.
(I am unsure if you wanted them to have a gender, but they looked female-ish to me :) :
Hm, I must say I also read them as female. I certainly used mostly female facial structure-references to make it. But since this is a translation of a 2D-artwork into 3D, I´d say what their gender actually is lies in the eyes of the original artist, and they didn´t state it. So read them however you want. :)

@Mirasol, I'm so impressed that your 3d-printed puppy is articulated and can be posed!
And it's a beautifully rendered arm and hand, @moredhel. Hands always take me the longest time to get right!
I had to look up what a color wheel challenge is :P - I like your character choices, @wavewright62. And your choice of expressions is classic, too!

Moonnoommoon I love it! I love lava, and you have captured the glow very well! Is it just foggy, or is the lava flowing into the ocean like sometimes happens e.g. in Hawaii?(Thanks!)
I have no clue lol, i jsut wanted to draw lava so i looked up a reference. I do think it was taken in Hawaii, though!

Post by: JoB on September 05, 2023, 10:26:02 AM
I do think it was taken in Hawaii, though!(Quite likely, Hawaii is famous for its particularly low-viscosity low-gas-content lava, both conducive to having a smooth lava flow (forming shield volcanoes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shield_volcano), too) and people daring to go near it to take a photo. ;) )
Post by: Jitter on September 05, 2023, 11:40:53 AM
My friends dared a helicopter ride to be able to go see lava flowing into the ocean a few years back in Hawaii (http://i.imgur.com/HFoIJdS.gif)
Seeing lava with my own eyes is on my bucket list!

Please post more when finished! As it’s Lalli, he should go to the SSSS art museum thread, this ine is mainly for non-SSSS things. Not that it’s that serious, but people are more likely to see (and appreciate!) him in the right thread :)

I recently started making this Lalli out of clay. I finished painting him yesterday. I only need to prime and paint his rifle

The shading comes nearly automatically (at least it feels like this) with my layer by layer method of painting skin. In the first step I just paint it all with yellow ochre.
(https://moredhel.is-a-geek.net/water0001.png)
Next I add red on top (I prefer venetian red but almost any red will work)
(https://moredhel.is-a-geek.net/water0004.png)
here the shadows get 1 or 2 extra layers of red.
in the final step I put some raw umber into the most intense parts of the shadows.
(https://moredhel.is-a-geek.net/water0005.png).
Can be done rather quickly (took 3 lunch breaks of 30 minutes in this case including palette and brush cleaning) and I like the look of the result.

I've noticed this in an artist's description of how they make an image: "I started with this, then added some of that, and some of the other..."
What blows us non-artists away is how you know just where to put how much of whatever. I know there's a large element of practice in an artist's skill, but a result as effective as this is still wonderful to the beholder!
Post by: moredhel on October 25, 2023, 03:04:43 PM
What blows us non-artists away is how you know just where to put how much of whatever.I used a reference Image so I could just see how dark and light the areas of the image should be.
As you ça see Here https://www.instagram.com/p/CwQ4QGiAZk-/ (https://www.instagram.com/p/CwQ4QGiAZk-/) it is not copied very exactly but it does look human enough.
Post by: wavewright62 on October 25, 2023, 05:26:25 PM
What I find interesting is that I assumed the intense borders were an afterthought to clean up edges or hide a bit that didn't work, but the process image clearly shows that's not the case. So extra bravo, as that really visually sproiks the intensity of the horror.
Post by: moredhel on October 27, 2023, 05:50:55 AM
(And sometimes you go, whoopsie! that didn't work!, put it away, come back later and look at it with fresh eyes, say, hey, that's actually not a bad effect...)As we learned from the great Bob Ross 'we don't make mistakes those are happy little accidents'.

I ended up doing some augmentation from my grandma's old watercolour set, since there was not a good enough yellow in the cretacolour set, but not before almost giving up on the mess. I'm not really happy with how this turned out, but I learnt a lot, and it's always good to try something different.

My mother owns a Chinese calligraphy set and when we were kids she got it out a few times and taught us how to write with the brushes. Unfortunately my language skills are atrocious and my Chinese name is the only set of characters I actually remember how to write, but I remember being taught how to hold the brushes correctly and rubbing the ink stick onto the damp stone to get the ink for our brushes. Maybe I should get it out again and try some more calligraphy myself sometime (or even ink painting with the calligraphy brushes - my mother has her grandmother's autograph book from the 1930s and there's an amazing painting in there that a friend of hers did).

Moredhel, I can’t see your work.
We had a connectivity problem here so my server was unreachable for a few days.
And making the ink is really nice I think it is quite relaxing. Chinese was an experiment normally I write korean with brushes and ink (it is a much easier alphabet).
