Don't double post. Not even once. This public service announcement is over.

How exactly are you holding your pencil? (pictures?)

Not literally dead, just no longer interested in Lego or animation.

I will take a picture of my hand holding the pencil to show you guys.

Re: Drawings and other Art

I made a digital painting, based on a photograph I took in Lima, Peru.

Re: Drawings and other Art

That is epicness.

Re: Drawings and other Art

Did you save the layer without the lines added? I think the lines give an MS Paint affect due to the jerkyness mini/sad still really love the colours and such!

Re: Drawings and other Art

It looks really fuzzy and undefined without the lines.  I wanted it to look like pen and watercolor.

Kinda experimenting with the digital watercolor look because I want to do something similar for the artwork in a hand-drawn animated film I'm planning to make.

Re: Drawings and other Art

What if you give the lineart layer a different transfer mode, like Overlay or Soft Light, then fiddle with the opacity? You could still have it there providing definition, just much more subtle.

Re: Drawings and other Art

Intriguing.  I may try in that in the future, just tried it on this and the results are promising.  I think I probably should have cleaner line work in the first place, though. That should be easier when I'm not tracing over the shapes from a really dark, fuzzy photograph.

Hey Smeagol, do you use a Intuos4?

Re: Drawings and other Art

Yes! Intuos4 Medium.  I like it a lot, though I've never used another tablet so I lack a basis for comparison. Expensive but I'll be doing a lot of art and film related projects with it for years to come, I expect.

Re: Drawings and other Art

Double post.  Get excited.

I'm experimenting quite a bit, trying to practice and work on my digital painting technique.

Nice apple you got there!
I really like the highlight on the bottom edge.

Re: Drawings and other Art

The apple looks wrong to me (I assume that's an apple), but the colour is great.

Re: Drawings and other Art

That looks really great, I love the coloring. Maybe the angle of the "bite" is a bit off?

Spent a few hours too long on this, but I did figure a lot of things out about Photoshop, so... mission accomplished? Not unbelievably happy with it, but it turned out alright, I guess.

Also, uh... really stiff ropes. Yeah. We'll pretend that didn't happen.

SPEAKING OF BORDERLINE FURRY ART, SQUASH

I was bored so I drew my Girlfriend's little brother as a walrus.

Re: Drawings and other Art

I like the walrus. Very fierce. The vein on his arm is a nice touch.
