What I'm working on now.

Good idea, but your posing won't work with the camera or "look at" angle you've chosen. When creating poses, think of them in silhouette only: no lines or details..just black and white. If the pose is readable in silhouette, then it's easier (and more appealing to the eyes) in final render.

Like I said...cool pose, but if you were to do this drawing in silhouette it'd just be a blob.

Thats fucking cool

I haven't drawn for years. Last thing I did was this, because a friend wanted a sketch of her rat drawn (lol)

nice drawing. though i wonder--why would anyone keep a rat as a pet?

[EtUL]

Cause they're tiny little rodents but are as smart as dogs and be trained. I thought about getting a few because they were pretty cool but then I found out about the type of people that keep rats.

Believe me, the rat owner stigma is was worse than the stigma people have against simple rats.

Fancy rats rule.

Yeah, I kinda know what you mean. I use a website called posemaniacs.com to do 30 second practice drawings, I find doing this a few times helps me to create a more consistent 3D ish type of figure with good proportions instead of your standard front facing profile or side facing profile that plagues most amateurs like myself. So I go out of my way to draw people that display a lot of motion. That site also has profiles that you can practice drawing like you said, I've never played with that feature but the other feature (the 30 second drawings) is really awsome. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to practice drawing a human figure.

Yeah I would LOVE to have a pen tool instead of a mouse... I seen a guy draw a dragon on youtube using one and it's just amazing the stuff you can do with it.

By pen tool I mean the pen tool in Photoshop, Illustrator (which is much better than Photoshop's one), Inkscape etc for creating curves; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAN9XHqVb-k (I just picked it randomly)

A graphics tablet is also very useful I'm sure.

not bad Krak, but he seems a bit skinny

[Κracus]

Fair play Krackass, if you ain't tracing and drawing from memory, those are fucking good. By the by I prefer the sketches to the coloured ones.

Thanks I like the penciled ones better as well, even though they aren't even finished cause the whole reason I sketched them was so I could play with them on the pc. The whole reason I even played with the color is to get used to it, that's litteraly my first try at coloring one of my penciled drawings. What I want to learn how to do is how to get that airbrushed look where the colors fade from one to the other like the mazda's chun-li pic or that one of Angelina Jolie.

In my spiderman colored sketch you can kinda see the technique I'm talking about in the windows but I wasn't able to use it on the characters..

Why, i believe that's the first image you made that i'm not instantly disliking for various reasons. It's... pretty good even.

Now go forth and delete all your other images, for they are still terrible and do not deserve to be in the virtual presence of this one.

[Tsakali]

I call bullshit on Captain Mazda actually creating that... but if it is so, it's great work..in so many levels...damn it's hard to shallow

[obsidian]

It would be okay if it weren't for the stupid grainy filter that he put on top. Is that supposed to be rain or something?

[MKJ]

its supposed to be a canvas texture. it works, albeit a bit over the top perhaps

It's amazing what you can do with filters.

yeah, are we all talking about the same AJ image? because it fucking sucks.

anyone with CSx could knock that up given the time.
