You can (and should!) compose pictures as well, you know.
The artist in question is just stunning. But this linked piece is about the only really satisfying human portrait he has done. The rest has oddly unnatural skin colors and tends to overemphasize expression wrinkles, resulting in a crass Steven Hawking vibe (sorry!!). Guess this media is extremely hard to get under control. When color intensity and value nuances are not that important in his motif choice, he excels with every picture (His wildlife. Oh. My. God.). And most impressive of all, he works in VERY small dimensions.
When you start drawing, you concentrate on the drawing. Painting comes way, way after drawing. Inexpensive drawing paper, a standard pencil, nothing fancy. And starting out with watercolors is nothing I'd ever recommend. The medium is known, used and revered for its unpredictability explicitly. Nothing for beginners. Colored pencils give you control. They're a good start into the realm of color, I think.
I like Doctor Who, but haven't been through all the series enough to call myself a Whovian. I'm working on it. This is mixed media, water colors, color pencil, wax crayon, oil paints and charcoal .
Because of its dimensions, I had to scan it in several separate pieces So the full version you can see divide lines
It was supposed to be police telephone free. But I couldn't fit it. When I noticed I messed up I thought it would be too much to rub it out and try to fix it. So I left it. I could of painted over it. But people see it and they ask me what it means.
The best drawings to come from The Scribble Game so far!
(Ever played it? Its simple. Close your eyes, scribble, then make a picture from the scribble. Needless to say despite my lack of ability, I can come up with some interesting drawings this way! )
EDIT: A little better? (Doesn't take up all the screen now! XD)
My Deviantart (I decided to resurrect it for now... XD) has the rest.
I've been debating about whether or not to do custom bumper art for my videos. My main hesitation is my lack of ability to draw peoples faces, hands and feet. Oh, and perspective. Hmm.
Ah hell, I'll give it a go anyway. What's the worst that can happen?
EDIT: OK, gave it a go and here's what I came up with for 'The Crow: City of Angels'.
A drawing in progress of Masyaf Fortress from Assassin's Creed...
You know what I didn't think about when I started drawing a fortress in the mountains? HOW MUCH ****ING ROCK THERE WOULD BE!!!! By Odin's Beard!!! And to differentiate between all the different kinds of rock and layers... OF ROCKS... The contrast between rocks looks somewhat better in real life than on the photo... but still... there's just... too many rocks. Too many rocks.
So can someone create some 'super-deformed' sprites of the King's Quest characters? Something akin to what you'd see in old SNES rpgs, or Lunar series?
Well, I recently went on a drawing binge and started drawing these tiny comics based on things that happened in DnD games, mainly starring the character I'm playing because all the horrible shit seems to happen to him. And by "horrible shit" I mean the party really has it in for this guy. Granted, he's kinda a horrible jerk, but it makes for a good story.
The pose is based on a photograph with like the shittiest lighting ever. Ironic, considering that the scan indeed has messed up the contrast (but I don't have access to a scanner all the time, so I can't rescan it again quickly)
I've been working on a crossover between my webcomic Jenni and Pixie Furious' webcomic Conies for two years now (off-and-on, mostly off). I finally got it finished.
It has the Conies characters in three styles (Conies style, Jenni style, and pixel style). It's in a black and white format to match Conies (the Jenni comic was black and white too at the time when I started it).

Day 4 , I'm learning, tomorrow will be day 5 but I start college courses tomorrow.

It was great. Granted, I did spend half of it in line so I may not be the best judge...
I don't like how this one turned out.:)
The second I hope is appropriate .

Batman and Robin inspired by Tezuka.

This has issues but I'm getting better. It had to be scanned in pieces and put back together...
I don't know if I like this one, it's a bad scann too
This is to be painted, colored.

Do you have a bigger version of this you could post or link to?
The arm looks a bit out of perspective (too short, in fact), is that based on a photograph?
Work in Progress
