Part of a continuing dream I've been having that comes in chunks. Last dream installment was earlier this year.
http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a48.../DreamCave.jpg The external city an empty dystopic place. Towers of glass and girders reflecting the perpetually purple-orange sunset. A square glass box on four girder legs on top of another building, I enter the cube and theres a cave in one of the glass walls extending into purple gloom. In the cave I see a glass sphere suspended in the air, in the sphere is the life and soul of the city. Speedpainted to The Knife. |

Skweeb- That's pretty trippy. Other people sure have different dreams than I do. I don't get any of that... esoteric stuff. I get stuff like me going through lunch and FINALLY spending the last of my dining plus(my lunch money that will disappear at the end of the semester (must get stuff to take home so it is not wasted (this is what I get for being stingy). Or I dream about tornados or marching band or stuff like that. My dreams can be freaky, but more in an odd sense than a trippy sense. anyway, about the art- pretty cool (and trippy). I like the color choices EDIT: I decided to color my sketch of Fran. It's kind of wonky looking, but I like it. It looks pretty cool with some filters on photoshop, but I wanted to be true to the original. http://img377.imageshack.us/img377/9608/franmd2.th.jpg I don't do "realism" (esque) without references often ^^;; I think I did a pretty good job considering. Edit again: More sketches! (I get bored) http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/8...0001hv3.th.jpg http://img201.imageshack.us/my.php?i...elo0002cx8.jpg Revenge of the Edit: now (quickly) colored (because I must be REALLY bored) http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/7634/savepb7.th.jpg Edit again: I draw a lot Penelo! http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/7...elo0001xb4.jpg |
You must edit your posts alot heh. I just have a question, do you bother shading pencil drawings? I can't seem to get the hang of it and I don't have photoshop. (how much does photoshop cost again?)

And I guess I shade with a pencil sometimes... I don't do it a lot with my sketches (because usually I go in and photoshop them) but I did it a lot in my art classes in high school. The best thing to do is observe other pictures and just stuff in real life to see how shadows fall and I think that would help a lot. And photoshop is like... $300-$500 last time I checked, but there's lots of photoshop-esque programs you can get for cheaper or for free. Me, I love my photoshop though. |

I've been working on this for awhile so I guess I'll go ahead and post it. I drew it on a note pad, scanned it, then have been coloring it with PhotoImpression. I'm not quite finished but I've got the basic gist of what I want to do with it figured out. Background I'm still a bit hazy about though...

Wow! Very cool Pinball Wizard. I really love how you've shaded the hair. Just as a suggestion (since you're still working on it, I'm not sure if you planned it already), maybe add some more lights into the skin (it's rather dark) otherwise, very cool!

Lovely! Does she have a name?
Or, conversely, you could further darken the darkest edges of her face. Personally, I don't think it needs much in the way of contrast. Assuming the primary source of light is to her right; to do highlights on her face at that angle would be tricky business since most of it would be in shadow anyway.
Did you use a smudge tool of sorts on the hair? The texture is magnificently soft and flowing, yet you didn't draw a multitude of quick strokes for individual strands like I do. How I ask!? What do you think of a silhouetted city in the lefthand background? I'm picturing tall castle-like spires in the distance there. |
To start: considering the ambient light that is illuminating her hair it stands to reason that her face would need more contrast. Celess pretty much hit the nail on the head with the too dark skin. Taken into consideration as well of the brightness the contrast on her face would also need to be crisper and sharper.
The lines are a bit blurred so it gives the overall picture a smudgey texture. Lines of varying weight would definately improve this piece. One last thing, given the thickness of her hair it is surprisingly thin and limpish on the back of her head. Yes wind taking that into account but the volume of her hair would still have more weight than that. Hope this helps. ~~~ A friend of mine and I started making random noises when on our way to Seattle a couple days ago then we started tossing out ideas as to what a creature that made that particular noise would look like. After about a good hour we came to this. http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a48...AAGHPcolor.jpg Did the lines last night and finished coloring it just a moment ago. Just a fun little doodle to kill time and keep from getting out of practice between pieces. |
He looks rather sad and lonely.
Also, Gato is big pimpin'. http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/8508/gatowz9.th.jpg |
