It's not a sketch, but it's an abstract digital art piece I did for a class last term. And all of the images are stills I made in Photoshop: My first attempt with Photoshop ever. I recorded and altered all of the sounds myself, from around my house. The images are mostly altered photographs of extreme close-ups of household objects.


It's pretty weird, just a warning. But as stupid as it is, I'm actually very proud of it. Just because I've never done abstract art before.
Wraith.

Wait what? I don't remember being notorious for that recently...


Yaay I'm finally notorious for something!

TDK - Savage Thinking got most of the critique. I think after looking at some references and practice you'll really improve. It's a nice picture though. I rather like the sword.

Fisi - Very interesting pictures. I find I rather like his shoes. :D And his hands.

Dragon Elf- The subject freaks me out (in a good way!) There's just somehting about yoshi sitting in a sultry pose that is a little unsettling. It's nicely done though.

Mauve - I commented on the youtube video but I'll say it here too: I like it! very freaky in a good way though. ^^


Simple sketch that I did. I really want to draw something, but art class sucks my creativity out. I wanna try and draw something of worth sometime soon. Until then, here's Sailor Moon

She has a huge neck and chin. Silly Sailor Moon.

Its partly my scanner, and mostly that her right knee is raised.
She is floating. Just hovering there, feet dangling down, one knee raised. I dunno, she might be going up. That could be why her knee is raised.

CJ: Aww, gee. Thanks.

Its odd. I took a long hiatus from drawing, so I'm still getting my skill back, but its interesting how fast it is happening. I drew that just a few days ago and it looks very crude...

I have another drawing.

Colored with photoshop CS2. I am not experienced with coloring things on the computer, but its not half bad for one of my first tries. Its probably obvious, but she is standing at the edge of a cliff, looking away at the sunset. The thing on her back is a hood. I'm not sure how clear that is.

I'm trying a variation of a technique Nikose told me, where I go over it with pen (Well, I did it with pencil.) then scan it with a high DPI in black and white. What do you guys think, about the coloring and the drawing itself.

And it continues..!

CelesJessa:
Haha, that is one manly looking Sailor Moon. Maybe she just needs to lay off the 'juice' a bit..?

Well, I never saw it as something that really stuck out about your art style, but I remember Skweeb writing this lengthy post about it. Really caught my attention. Although it's not something I see anymore (by which I mean the slanted look).

TDK:
I rather like this one. Really just gives that laid back or just a "toned down" mood. I assume that's like a pond or something? Seems kind of odd for something that looks like a river to abruptly end like that. That is if it is a river, I'm just making an assumption here.

The wings are a certain improvement, though. It took me ages to make feathered wings to get it just right, and it still tends to look awful. I've mainly used D&D books for reference, really (they have such pretty pictures.. Just sayin'..). Also, the clouds seem kind of like just glued on there. Probably due to how they're slanted. I dunno, something about them just feels like they're just... There to me.

Assuming that it's a sunset drawing, the use of warm colors would've been niftier instead of the dominant blue. Maybe like a deep orange with little hints of purple and blue. But that just depends on what program you use on whether or not it's possible (all of this directed towards the sky, not the water [well, maybe just a bit]).

EDIT: This critique was done prior to your edit. Or me just being too lazy to read the entire post...

Hmm... I see what you mean. I thought it was weird, as your other drawings on DA never had this problem, just kind appeared out of nowhere.

That's the ocean or something. The end where the sunset begins is supposed to be the horizon. Forgive the problems with the sky and whatnot, I very seldom draw anything but people.

I like to draw sharks.

Joshelplex- Your sharks inspire me like no sharks ever have. They kind of remind me of the old SNES game E.V.O.

Inspired by Joshelplex's insane shark drawings, here is an egg I drew awhile back:

My friends and I were playing on this online painter thing called Graffiti (it's kind of a funky program) and we started just drawing a picture together. It was crazy how it worked, because we had no prior planning, one of us just started on the face, one started on the hair, and one started on the clothes/background and these are the results. (It's crazy how well we worked around each other.) My only regret is that the program was terrible for blending.

Eh, I'm not terribly satisfied with this one.

I find it difficult to do shading without any sort of background (well, at all, really. I kinda don't get how to do shading beyond putting a shadow when something is in the way of light.), but I see what you mean about all of that, Khael!. I'm actually using CS2, and I'm very inexperienced with computer-ing drawings from scanning to coloring.

I mean, I know HOW to do shading, but I have trouble figuring out where to put it and stuff. Tips?

I'm still working on how to get fold lines and stuff. I'm experimenting with that. I don't really get it yet. I'm not 100% on drawing them good OR where to put them.

Edit: Do you possibly have an msn or aim account so we could discuss this further?
