Art and thoughts and, occasionally, something worth looking at...
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
So guess who figured out how to record my screen while drawing?? Aaah, this is so fascinating! Anyway…I thought it might be easier to show rather than tell. But basically, I start out with a loose general shape and just sharpen and define the drawing as I go. I also use the stumpy pencil brush for all my drawings, which I think works especially well with drawing hair. I’d say the key to drawing hair is to just keep it loose. Use quick, loose movements and don’t get too bogged down with the details. Also, hair is an organic, constantly moving form, so it doesn’t have to look clean and perfect. Just experiment with it and have fun! Probably the greatest inspiration for me, as far as hair goes, is manga artists. They’re just really good at drawing super pretty hair!
I hope that helps some! Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any other questions!
*Oh, and if you click to watch it in HD and full screen it’s not quite as blurry and pixelated!*
This is just so, so good!
Also, sorry for the lack of updates at the moment, just working on something at the moment and trying desperately to get it finished in time for a competition deadline on Sunday! I’ll post it up here soon as it’s done :D
Awesome rendering is awesome
I did not expect that voice
If LMFAO had songwriting / singing ability like this kid, I’d probably listen to the radio a lot more.
Mikenesses #97.
I Bill Watterson’d myself.
I’m actually impressed by how he hadn’t Bill Watterson’d himself already.
This is the one I was most hesitant about doing, so I avoided it for a long time. That guy is THE HERO.
I freakin’ love these Mikenesses. This one is just spot on.
Revamp of an old piece, a character design for a now shelved story called Symbiosis. I’m updating my sequential art portfolio.
This is Sky. I always did like her most out of that story. I’m thinking of trying to work her into Overworld since it’s her story, of a girl called Sky stuck with a broken ship incapable of flying, that originally sparked the idea of Overworld in my head.
Make a snazzy super awesome design portfolio.
Save it as a pdf, so super awesome design hiring people can view it easily.
Notice a mistake, edit it and save the .psd
Realise you just saved over your last 4 hours of working towards potential job prospects with a flat image.
FUCKIN’ DUMBO EARED BETTA MAKE ME LOSE MY SHIT
I love this, because there are like….a freakin’ million bettas in my house. This is pretty much my day, every day.
Click the image to go to the fullsize! Easier to read.
A big ol’ tip on drawing cities from street-level. The drawings are pretty crude, (I did them very fast,) but I think they get the point across :) I’m sure some streets like in the first example actually exist in the world, but why would you choose to draw something so boringly bland?
Hope it helps you out!
I think this is probably the best tip I’ve ever read on how to draw cities better. And I’m not surprised, Fox is a dude who knows his cities.
