I make everything I draw myself, I would have copied something if I could but I really can't, copying makes everything mangled. Plus, when I drew this there was a thunderstorm so all the electricity went off, the last thing I was doing was playing on my DS. This was how I felt getting 1 win for the past hour. =_=;

I have another drawings like that:

Haha cool.. I love the whole dress sense of your character got any others? You should use Photoshop, touch one up with a bit of vectoring, add some colouring, then make a sig outta one - would look quality.

My character is solely based on me and how I dress, and it's what I was wearing at the time.

I'm rusty when it comes to Photoshop, meaning I can only attempt do ones with a real photo. I struggle with black outlines, they look too soft when I stroke the path with the brush tool and makes it look pixellated and vectoring black outlines makes it look too sharp and gritty. I really need to buy myself a tablet which my mum was mean to at Christmas but I suppose I could next year.

With this one, I intend to surround Jeff Wayne with everything to do with War of the Worlds. (Jeff Wayne Composed the original). It's nowhere near finished yet, But I thik you'll get the idea from what I've done so far:

Your dog is so cute. You have a great talent for the placement of faces, it looks just like them, and anatomy. I really can't do it.

What type of pencil do you use?

One thing I never do...Stick to a certain pencil, OR method!
I just..Draw.
It's never let me down :P

I find I need to draw with light pencils because of how much pressure I put onto it and how grainy the outcome will be. These are also hard lead pencils so I get stronger lines, I just need to know what's best for portrait work and shading.

I find I can just use the same pencil throughout.. As much as I should, I don't really take advance from others who tell me to use methods etc. I just like the Way I do it myself.

I suppose it comes naturally. My Great Grandfather was an artist, and My two grandmothers were btoh extremely talented. And ontop of that, My grandma who lived (The other died of cancer, it spread through out her whole body..I never had the chance to meet her) began teaching me to draw at the age of 2/3

Ah, my nan specialisises in painting, but she's a bit dodgy now because she has arthritis, I loved watching her paint when I was little. Even more so, my aunty is the best artist I have ever seen, she can do anything, I'll need to find some of her work, she should so get a career in it, but, she's an optician :/

Haha! My Auntie is an amazing artist, but like your auntie, she won't go into any form of work where she gets to use her talent. She's a florist, so I suppose that takes some artistic sense.

I have had serious artist's block recently which is probably due to the lack of sleep, I'm knackered but I don't seem to be getting any sleep, tossing and turning isn't really one of my favourite tasks.

I went for a college interview today and there were group interviews of about five people, no one spoke to eachother though, except for me and someone called Joshua. We didn't get asked many personal questions, she didn't even want to see my school reports, she just looked at my artwork, and the first thing she said was;

"AAAHHH, MANGA, WE HATE MANGA." and I just thought 'damn, this is going to go badly' but she said she hadn't seen linework like it and she said I'm very capable of doing everything the course requires. She said something about having an extreme advantage over the other applicants she's seen o_O;

We had a basic english test to see if we're dyslexic or anything, got them all right.

And that was about it, kind of weird she didn't ask us many questions, and I thought it would have been longer.

...So please get some cartoony requests going so I can start drawing, because I'm really bored around here.

Ok, heres something i'm using for my higher art ( it's back to front so it looks dodgey!). And its not quite comlete, but it'll do.

Critisism plz



Heres the one the proper way round.

Try shading, it'll make it alot more realistic.
I also think the face of the fish is letting you down..I can;t put my finger on it, it just seems odd to me.
Perhaps it's the lips? Or try shading on top of the head.

Other than that, it's looking good!

Nah, i'm not shading it but i think i might run it over with water because its a black pen. i've added some more black to the bit under the head.

Plus the actually colour picture of it is like in blocks, very opposite colours used inbetween each section, but anyways i also done a oil pastel version in colour lol, very bad mistake!!

Well it looks good but your penmanship makes the lines fray a bit, my art teacher calls them split ends, there's a bit especially by the mouth that coould be rounded off. I don't know, I like it not shaded, I like it bold, you can make it all darker and thicker...

[javjaoll]

It is a bit ish thinker now because ive been working on it earlier but also i took it with my pphone lol so it was pretty high up to fight the whole thing in, i'll get another picture one day next week.

[javjaoll]

Took the pictures down.

Eck, I suppose not shading it could work
Sorry, I'm just a very traditional sort of artist >.<
