Too much heat

by Nicola on 30 June 2009

Too much heat

I can’t do anything when it’s this hot.   I keep thinking : I can’t draw when I feel this uncomfortable! Or maybe I’m just losing creativity… urr.. haha.  Sorry, I should stop complaining.   I copied some drawings from Bridgman.-^
 
Fan: I thought that artist looked really cool when that thread popped up! Really, I can’t be like [...]

What I want right now…

by Wikivic on 30 June 2009

What I want right now...

Green tea frappuccino!  I’ve never tried one because we don’t have them over here (why not I ask? they’d sell really well! >.<; ). But I love pretty much everything that’s green tea flavoured, and I like frappuccinos, so I think it’d be a winner…
Its supposed to be summery colours, which I think has worked [...]

Breaking in

by Fan on 30 June 2009

 Breaking in

My Deleter nibs arrived today. I decided to break them in, at first I was just stratching it on paper then I thought it would be a better idea to ink something done quickly.
Also, two books arrived. The Mayor of Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy which I really like. Fans of Greek tragedies might enjoy it. [...]

She’s Gonna Run for it (I)

She's Gonna Run for it (I)

No sketching today Had no time, so it’s just a screen cap of the animating I’m doing at the mo. I put her together this morning.
Perhaps I need to find an alternative way to animate in Flash, but drawing each moveable body part on separate layers can be time SO consuming – Thought [...]

Shonen Tiem!

 Shonen Tiem!

I didn’t get my entry for eyeko done in time, but it got me in a drawing mood again so I don’t really mind.
A quickly sketch during chemistry that was eventually inked. I was practicing the positions of hands the most, but the heavy inking means you can’t see much
Also a bit of [...]

Cyphar (XI)

Cyphar (XI)

And the last, but not least of the characters. It’s Martin, the MC/guitarist. He’s my favourite, as I managed to literally, transform him for the better – From this strange pencilled & inked version (looks nothing like him, too solemn, doesn’t fit the image of the band).
Again, where would we be without Photoshop? :3
Soooooooooooo glad [...]

Cityscape

by Wikivic on 29 June 2009

Cityscape

This is 100% inspired by tenshianna’s cityscapes, they’re gorgeous and I have never drawn anything like this before so I thought I’d give it a try (altho none of it is actually reffed from any of her work…for once I drew something from scratch without any photo or character refs ^_^ )
I used a square-sided [...]

1Layer

1Layer

Some quick thing I did. I wanted to try out coloring using only one layer only. This is what came out. Was too lazy to pull up a ref photo, so that’s why she looks a bit odd. I hatee the nose. D’x
Havn’t really tried doing something like this before, but I’m happy with the [...]

Did some experimenting with colors and shading.
On a side note, I don’t want to be stuck in just drawing anime. I go straight to it because it’s what I know how to do, but I really want to expand my capacities by becoming proficient at other things, like other mediums, other styles of drawings, etc. [...]

Essays

I had a fun journey to Bristol! Although there was no Willie stalking. Now I must finish some competition essays… Aeneid yay!
This is an illustration from my story. Although I’m not convinced that any exorcism actually took place, having read it through :p
My future schedule for regular posting: I return to the Bristol train for [...]

Sunny Lighthouse

Sunny Lighthouse

Something a bit sunnier today, I wanted to do a counterpart to my nighttime lighthouse pic.
This was inspired by some (much better) concept art I saw on GamerArtisans, but I can’t find it again now (internet artists, putting your name on your work is good for more things than just protecting copyright, it means people [...]

This is JR, the bassist. He looks VERY different from his original pencils. Where would we be without Photoshop?
@Aracadia – Thanks, it’s nice to know I’m improving! ^^ I think the original inks were posted before you started here.
Hope everyone’s enjoying the weather we’re having. I am… from indoors, at the PC, alllll [...]

The sketch of a chibi for a Gaia commission.  Was suppose to give her a sexyish pose, but I’m not good with sexy and the nose on the mask made me question the sexiness…but this was all I could do. D’;

I really should’ve started this last week so I could learn and trial and error. Started again, not sure I’ll get this finished in time now. Although it would be nice to get it done by then, if I feel it isn’t in any decent possible winning standard, I would rather keep it. Sounds a [...]

Cyphar (IX)

It’s Dan, the drummer, retouched. Tattoo added :3 Was fun to draw the tattoo part, or rather, trace. I basically went over a photograph of his tattoo, scaled down over his arm. I had to re-ink bits and colour it in a way to make it suit the rest of the picture – Tricky :/
Here’s [...]
