[the_morbidus]

[the_morbidus]

lord kane thats really cool, i like stick men drawings, always cheer me up

[Kane]

Here's another pic. I'm even crapper at doing the lower body half, so don't even ask.

[the_morbidus]

well i have some(5) manga books that i bought through the internet , they are from japan and the page is:

www.howtodrawmanga.com

they teach you how to draw well , what you need next is imagination, i could allways psot some pics. from the books so you guys can learn some stuff.

this is my drawing for evil squall, it can be checked in the >general pictures>sketches of NGemu members

i forgot the pockets, bwt this took me 20-25 min. ,so is kinda crapy

[Razor Blade]

Damn I drew a really cool picture of me (Dante - My style) and my scanner isnt working! Well when i get it working ill post it. Im sure you guys will like it. :p

[N1ghtw0lf]

What i drew during CTBS testing today when i was done...edited out with heal tool some stuff i had written before...mods might not ahve liked it...

[N1ghtw0lf]

Not mine...but same test...my friend drew this and gave me his scrap paper...thought it was funny and well worth a post

EDIT: Another wonderful test day tomorrow...expect more...

[Razor Blade]

Cool pics. Heres my version of Dante ... Razor Blade style! I dont like how the face turned out but i erased so much the paper started to rip :heh: Okay tell me what you guys think.

[N1ghtw0lf]

thats awesome...looks like photoshop not sketch but if it really a sketch its awesome...and nice watercolor look

[Razor Blade]

Its a sketch. But I added the little razor blade text in the box with photoshop. And also a canvas mask on it. But other than that its all me. ;)

[kiraseed]

Me like's the Kenshin:), Draw Naruto and your the best in my book;)...j/k

[N1ghtw0lf]

/me wishes he could draw half that 1337

[Eface]

Morbidus, i think i see what is still missing in your style. If it is the style and crispness of your lines, you are VERY good, i can't match that even closely. But your drawing seem to be a bit lifeless, it doesn't seem to move, to live.

I've decided for myself, that even before i become better in my techniques, i should learn how to make a drawing alive, it's hard in the beginning, but graduatly, it becomes easier ;)
the easiest way is to add wind, that always does the trick :)

[Carnage]

now that I finally have scanned some drawings of me I can post them weeee...sadly enough some of my best are still in the artschool...anyway

[Carnage]

and another one...

[Eface]

pretty kewl carnage, seems you got something with evil :D

[Carnage]

yep,I love evil:evil: I'm currently looking at some tutorials that Kane gave(actually he gave the link to the page with the tutorials)on how to draw manga,I'll try some of that stuff soon...

btw:wtf is kewl:confused:

[Eface]

kewl is cool :)

[Carnage]

ah...I get it...

[the_morbidus]

i also gave a link in the first posts, wll they are amazing drawings carnage, and i also love the dante made by Razor Blade , i guess we should work in a comic for the NGemu!!!

[Carnage]

a comic is very different then normal drawing...first we would have to all use one certain style else it would be quite confusing...but it would be a great idee:)

[Tori-Yama]

some of my stuff :)

first one:

[Tori-Yama]

#2 :)

[Tori-Yama]

Some Photoshopstuff from me (drawing) and a friend of mine Dmon 666 (color) ;)

[Tori-Yama]

And one of my Colorartworks made with PS7, I know what this don't count :P ;)

[Kid A]

The archangel is 3vil l33t.

[dn]

Started drawing again last night (for the first time in about 5 years). It was inspired by a 'letter' i recieved.

[dn]

These aren't really doodles, but i'll post 'em anyway :)

[dn]

This one was a rushed job :)

[Kid A]

Nice... BTW, 'In the cold, cold night'? lol ;)

[Carmofin]

hm...
i can only post my latest comic, theres not as much talent involved in scribbling comic characters like mine, but oh well... :)

[Eface]

toriyama... i don't think you should post here anymore, you're so good, you're gonna give me a permanent minority complex.... FSCKING W00T!!!!
it's GREAT!

[Kane]

Toriyama: Please can we hire you to do game art? I'll give you a cookie!

[the_morbidus]

this one i did it during english class, it shows my feelings touwards my teacher!!!!!

[N1ghtw0lf]

Bring me to life?....nice questions also

[the_morbidus]

this was in math, well if there is a skateboarder dude that likes the symbol and wants to put it under the skate, go ahead!!!!

we have a lot of talented people in this thread, i guess we should make a competition

[Tori-Yama]

Eface:
>>toriyama... i don't think you should post here anymore, you're so good, you're gonna give me a permanent minority complex.... FSCKING W00T!!!!
it's GREAT!<<

Well, thank you :) you know, it was hard work too, I'm doing this since 4 years, so its normal to get more into this and to get better results. Nobody should be despressed of this ;) At the end, anime-artworks is just a hobby of mine :)

Lord Kane:
>>Toriyama: Please can we hire you to do game art? I'll give you a cookie!<<

hmmh, nice :)

[Eface]

4 YEARS?!?!!?
if you only drew those 4 years, i can understand, but i've been drawing about 4 years too, but there is no comparison between us. The way you know the anatomy is incredible ;)

[Carnage]

to think I almost never use anatomy to draw something:eyes: I just begin at 1 point and draw further and further...in some drawings this is really good but in the most it kinda sucks:heh:

and I found another link that might be useful for us here (http://anime.darkpact.com/list.php)

[Tori-Yama]

Well, the fact is that I'm student at college for desgin and art. So I'm a little bit more involved in this field. You guys here are just not to be used to this sort quality. For myself, I have a bunch of friends who are drawing too, and some are much better than me. Its all the way how do you look on it ;) And again, its no reason to be despressed

[Carnage]

2 of my friends also go to a school where they spend the most of the time drawing stuff too,they now can draw things wich you can't tell if its a real picture or a drawing...next year will be the 6 year(the last)for one of them and he sure has acomplished some heavy things....but for me drawing stays a hobby,and I don't see any reasons why I should be depressed,the most ppl I know can hardly draw more then a stick man:D

[Eface]

guess i should do some drawing that focus on anatomy, so i'll get proportions better :)

[the_morbidus]

ya, toriyama is right, well i only started drawing 2 years ago and because i practice a little bit everyday i get better, i'm also thinking on going to some art colledge after finishing high school!!!!!, but for now it stays a hobbie, good luck to everybodie in their drawings!!!!

carbage thanks for the link

[Razor Blade]

Uhhh well here is a sketche i made yesterday. :) I made another ones but I didnt like hoe the eyes turned out :(

[Tori-Yama]

looks pretty cool :)

BTW: My Drawing-Teacher told me not to draw shadows to smooth, set some darker courses to make it more 3D looking.

[Razor Blade]

I kind of wanted it to look like a sketch though ... I downloaded this tutorial on airbrushing and it looks so cool ... I forget where I put it but if I find out ill post it for some of u guys who need help there (like me!)

[Carnage]

nice sketch!I myself am currently fantasising a new creature to draw...

[the_morbidus]

well good news guys, i'm picking people from the NGemu like the NGemu crew and the NGemu beyhond hope team and other people like myself of course, i'll probably release a comic per week , i won't include everybody in every comic and the comic won't be bigger than 3 pages so the range is normally 1-2.i'll try my best so just see and wait, k????

the comic will be manga like comic!!!!

[Razor Blade]

That sounds awsome! I hope I make an appearance sometime .. ;)

[the_morbidus]

you're already chosen, and i already got a cool idea to present the entire team, but can't say it or i will spoil it

[Carnage]

cool man;) can't wait

[Tori-Yama]

yeah, me too

[the_morbidus]

didn't start the comic yet because i was finishing this drawing, well hope you guys like it, i would say its the girl of my dreams, the bad thing is that girls like that don't exist, at least for guys like me!!

a girl in my biology class loved the dress, well the dress is a little bit unfinished but it looks great, hope you guys like it!!!!!

[Hydra]

Wow your drawings are awsome the_morbidus.

Anyway i decided I'll post a drawing, I've been practicing anime for a short time so it's not that great. It's a picture of Naru from love hina as requested from a friend, it's incomplete as I still have most of the shading to do.

[the_morbidus]

well i was worst than you at the beginning but practise makes perfection, so keep the good work gotrunks

[the_morbidus]

this one is kinda old but it has style, i wish i could have some cheezy cloths like him

[zerocopy]

she looks like shishiyu's girlfriend

[the_morbidus]

how did you guessed???
the top part of the dress was kinda copyed from her dress(i mean shishio's girlfriend)

[zerocopy]

your avatar is a giveaway, all are from the rurouni kenshin series. I saw all it's episode's, ova's and the sucky movie

[the_morbidus]

do you really think so?? probably i have to change avatar!!!
well the best one is the first ova, and the movie wasn't that bad, it sucked because they were always repeating the same part when kenshin kills the other girl's brother

[almighty bob]

wow great job guys, especially toriyama and morbidus

[the_morbidus]

bob, show us what you got!!!!

[almighty bob]

in about a week or so. so busy with finals rite now ><

[the_morbidus]

well i'm still in high school so don't have to worry in a month and so.....

[the_morbidus]

this one is for the summer that is coming up, hope you guys like it , still left some unfinished business in the pic. but its really good i guess

[almighty bob]

ok what the hell, im bored of chem so i may as well post some stuff
this was drawn a couple months ago and iv included the original pencil sketch as well as a quick coloring job

[almighty bob]

heres the 3rd pic i drew after the last one (the others arent on my comp atm) again its an original pencil sketch with a smaller colored copy.

[the_morbidus]

aaawwww........ i wish i knew how to colour my pics, do you know of a place with easy tutorials for painting??

[almighty bob]

http://www.dmario.org/tutorial.html

thats the one i used cuz i like cel-shaded anime styles

[almighty bob]

another one i just finished sketching. color will be done later

[the_morbidus]

thanks bob, i owne you one

[the_morbidus]

here is another drawing , probably is going to be used in the Ngemu game but i'm not sure, anyways its here for you guys to take a pic. on it.

btw, i'm thinking in taking a carrer on animation, or cartonist, my real talent is drawing so i guess its my best bet.

don't forget to post your drawings!!!!

[the_morbidus]

this is an old one ... but its good i guess

[the_morbidus]

this one is kinda dirty , but its my favourite so i had to post it even knowing its kinda like 7 months old

[Mr. Killjoy]

I like your style, but something is missing... like misc details in the clothing

[the_morbidus]

well i'm not a pro and still have a long way to get there , my problem is that i have some trouble with the cloths, don't quite know where to make the wrinkles, well i know but they don't look that real, also because i don't make much shading and they don't look that much real!!!!!

still have to improve a lot.

[Mr. Killjoy]

You don't need to make accurate details, instead of making lines, make shadows ;)

[the_morbidus]

tx killjoy, now i'm gonna try to cell-shade the pic. of the girl with the big weapon (don't know the name) , i guess i shouldn't have shaded the weapon ,the ground and the hair, its probably going to be more difficult with that!!!!!

[Mr. Killjoy]

Look my drawings, IIRC, they have clothes

[the_morbidus]

what does IIRC mean?? or IMHO(something like that)??

[Strider]

IIRC If I Recall/Remember Correctly
IMHO In my humble/honest opinion

[Carmofin]

how ya like this?
http://66.216.8.51/~carmofin/pencil.jpg

[the_morbidus]

if ya take the glasses off, change the hair to blonde and the eyes to green , it would kinda look like me

[Eface]

w0w, i got 0wnzed again... oh well, just keep up the good work ;)

[Mr. Killjoy]

Very nice ^^

[the_morbidus]

Strider, can you post some drawing you did???

[the_morbidus]

this one is killjoy!!!!

hope he likes it!!!!

[N1ghtw0lf]

might wanna take that collar out of your face before you fire those guns...might shoot big bird or something...

BTW good job morbidus...me likes

[Mr. Killjoy]

Nice, but beside the collar, I noticed that one of his legs was... errr.... what's the word?

[the_morbidus]

explanation!!

[Strider]

>Strider, can you post some drawing you did???

i have mine in the mouse/handdrawn art thread, quite a few pages back, but heres probably my favourite picture i ever drew, with a little signature in the corner ;)

[Mr. Killjoy]

I know!!! It's Kid... I like this moment of the game :)

It's nice, but there is something weird about the skirt

[Strider]

yes, i believe the pic got scanned a bit lopsided, heres the actual picture in the game for reference... apparently i also finished it a little bit differently on the far right side, musta been too dark for me to see when i was drawing

[Mr. Killjoy]

Anyway, Kid is really cute

[the_morbidus]

but still, it looks great

[Carmofin]

made another one ^_^
http://66.216.8.51/~carmofin/pencil2.jpg

[Mr. Killjoy]

Hehe, cool!

[the_morbidus]

your girlfriend , carmofin ????

[Carmofin]

hehe, nono, just someone from my chatroom that i use in my comics ^_^

[the_morbidus]

i've changed my avatar , i did my first animation, its kinda bad but oh well, its my first one so don't have much experience, anyways, i used the drawing with the name the_morbidus on it, you know, the half ninja- half samurai dude, well hope you guys like it.

btw thanks killjoy for the name of the animation program, own you one :thumbup:

[N1ghtw0lf]

Originally posted by the_morbidus

reminds me of sul reaver for some reason...

[the_morbidus]

who's sul reaver???

EDIT:
do you believe i used 41 images to create this 5 sec. avatar??? amazing, imagine how many images do people use to create a 24-25 min. japanise animation its crazy, normally its 24 images per second on tv. but mine is like 8.2 images per sec. so animations will be like 15 images per sec.X 60 sec. X 25 min. =22500 images

[Mr. Killjoy]

>> btw thanks killjoy for the name of the animation program, own you one

You used Anim. shop? Well, it seems to be enough for avatars...
BTW, pretty good avatar

[the_morbidus]

well you should try some time, its kinda easy once you get the grip of it!!!

[Razor Blade]

Cool. Maybe sometime you should try an animation (like mini cartoon). I mean u are great at drawing. BTW: Hows that comic coming along? :p

[the_morbidus]

well i was looking at killjoy's charset and i came up with this, hope you guys like it.

well about the comic, i got a part time job a month ago, it takes much of my time, also i've been working hard this last two months in school because school is almost over(and my marks are so bad....) , i'll probably start the comic during summer but can't promise much, also this drawing was done during the few time i got free from lunch.

[Mr. Killjoy]

LOL, nice pic...

BTW, I already made several comics, so I can say that it takes lot of time, and erasers...

[Tori-Yama]

It's quiz-time!

Whats that? Hints: This is a element of an Cowboy Bebop-artwork I'm working on right now.

[Mr. Killjoy]

It's a kind of weaponry for robots

[Tori-Yama]

uhm, not bad ...and exactly? ;) Need the next Image?

[Mr. Killjoy]

I think it's one of these guns:
Rocket launcher
Railgun
Laser

[Tori-Yama]

nope :)

[Mr. Killjoy]

It's a side mounted machine gun

[the_morbidus]

i think is some kind of gas or air-pressure container!!!

[Tori-Yama]

Thats it, ready. So, its simply a Minigun ;)

[the_morbidus]

i got it??? yuuppie next time i'm gonna try the lotarie!!

[Tori-Yama]

uhm, I just meant ...well forget it :)

[the_morbidus]

sorry..... what did you really meant?????

Oh, I just got throught the other thread, you tought I'm a girl, how can that be... ? :eyes:

[Kellicros]

Ok, heres my latest drawing, was done in yesterday. BTW, there're 2 drawing threads floating arround in this forum, I am wondering if I should merge up both threads but if I do, the whole thing would be one of the longest threads. Hmm... Maybe I should close the one I made since its quite old. =/

[Eface]

ES, NOOOOOOO!!!!
leave the old thread alone, i WANT, no i NEED to get the most posts in that thread...

[the_morbidus]

eface you're such a spam, hehehe.....(j/k)

anyways , well i like this thread the way it is, i kinda created it i guess thats way, but if you want to merge it go ahead!!!!!

well for the people that know trigun, you can see that this is the priest, i was at math and i was so bored that i could kill the teacher, well i remembered the episode 11 from trigun that i watched yestarday and i tryed to draw wolfwood with what i remembered from yestarday, anyways its kinda good i think, and i also left a lot of white in the drawing if somebody wants to paint it or cell-shade it!!!

btw can anybody tell me how many episodes of trigun are there?????

[Strider]

too bad my scanner is screwy lately, i drew a pic of today but cant scan it

[the_morbidus]

does somebody know how many episodes trigun has????

[Kane]

/me runs up his anime datadase just to check
26 eps.

[the_morbidus]

well i knew it was somewhere around 30ep.

lord kane tx for the info. :thumbup:

[7th]

hi.
um, ok to post old character sketches?

[the_morbidus]

yep, no prob with that!!!

actually that one is really good, it reminds me of Julia from tekken 3!!!

[7th]

close up

[the_morbidus]

who is it , 7th?????

[7th]

her name is gad'dana (a mythical creature in the forest).
designed for an old school project.

[the_morbidus]

dude you're really good with colours, hhmmm... can't say the same of me, anyways, do you have some more??????

[7th]

don't worry. i was afraid of doing anything other than pencils before. this sketch...had some nasty spots since water droplets fell on this one.

[the_morbidus]

the colours are so good that the face kinda looks real!!!!

[7th]

thanks. i kinda prefer to practice from photos / real life.

[Kid A]

That's awesome... did you learn all by yourself?

[Tori-Yama]

very very nice shadows, good work man ;)

[the_morbidus]

that is really great, your probably #1 in drawing here at ngemu!!!!

[Mr. Killjoy]

Yeah, that's good !!!

I'm also very good at drawing, but I suck at putting colors

[7th]

>That's awesome... did you learn all by yourself?
no. i didn't.

coloring a b&w manga on photoshop is a nice way to practice.

[Tori-Yama]

>that is really great, your probably #1 in drawing here at ngemu!!!!<
Your'e too quik ;)

[Mr. Killjoy]

If you scanned it from anatomy book ?!

Anyway, if it's really you, then you're the best ;)

[7th]

those were hand drawn, although i did study anatomy books. some parts i didn't remember right. the first one was a model which was then 'interpreted' into muscular form.....and, i'm not the best, just 'mid-level' in my class.

[Mr. Killjoy]

I meant, the best here :)

[Tori-Yama]

Here is on of my Cowboy Bebop artworks I'm working right now on

[7th]

Originally posted by Killjoy

um, i guess that really depends on the viewer. some people i know hate realistic styles while others i know simply abhors anime style...so i guess 'it's in the eye of the beholder' type of category.

this old one was ruined by the rain...colours bleeding, exposing much of the purple in the hair. haven't fixed it up on photoshop yet, repairs and bg.(moral: bring plastic/container)

[Eface]

w00t, you guys are great...

[Tori-Yama]

I see, you are more experienced with pencil colerations while I prefer CGs (Computer Gfx). A good combination of this is the program "open canvas". This allows you to draw like you would use a pancil but with the comfort of CGs.

Download:
http://www.portalgraphics.net/

[7th]

thanks for the link.
yup. just started using photoshop/psp 2 months ago, and i liked it just as i like manual coloring. been browsing through the open portal site and seen the usual stuff like masks, layer, transparencies, brush types, ect. what features separates it from photoshop, corel and paint shop pro and with their hundred or so different plug-ins?

this was my very first coloring practice in photoshop. : ) made me feel to good to learn much since then. colored from the manga i''s. copyright © Katsura Masakazu, Shueisha and Studio K2R.

[Tori-Yama]

it would be nice if you could post the original image too, so we could compare them better. But this looks already quite nice :)

Well, the advantage of OC is that you could draw much better "realistic" shadows as you could in PS or PSP. Thats because OC features much more different brush options and gives you more the feeling of real drawing. PS and PSP I would prefer better to make cellshading colerations and layer-effects. They are much more calculating and exact.

yup, had to learn unorthodox techniques because of that. though there are some nice plugins that do different brush styles welll. just d/led OC and going to give it a spin.

[Mr. Killjoy]

I guess that's Iori, right?

[7th]

yup that's iori.

toriyama, i just have to thank you again man. just been fiddling with it and the app is just so suave, streamlined and sweet...the current processess i go through with photoshop will be cut in half. its a very nice combo with PS. and don't mind the PM anymore, found it.

for all of the things it can do, i still can't believe its size!

[Tori-Yama]

Yeah, it incredible right? ;) Too bad, I can't use it right - no Gfxboard.

[7th]

you mean like a wacom pad? don't have it either (although saving up for one). i wish i had my own scanner too.

[the_morbidus]

so where do you make the scans????

[7th]

friend's house/ school scanner/ rentals.

[Mr. Killjoy]

http://www.ngemu.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=495341#post495341

I think I got problems for proportions

[Tori-Yama]

Fist of all: This looks really good :) And there are just a few mistakes I guess, the major problem is the properation between the head and the rest of the body, hes just too big. And in my opinion is the chin a little bit too far away from the rest of the face, this makes him look fett. But as I said, its a matter of taste. Try to set some points of shadows in the face to make it look more three-dimensional.

BTW: I don't know how experienced you are with cuttlings, a characteristic of good artists is how do they get them to look realistic. Well, some artist prefer self designed (and quite unrealistic) curlings to give them drawings a persific look like in dragonball by Akira Toriyama (see the image). So, it depends on you and your skills if you want them realistic or not. But overall its very nice and well done.

[Mr. Killjoy]

>> This looks really good
Thanks

>> Try to set some points of shadows in the face to make it look more three-dimensional.

In fact, I tried to not make it realistic... I know there is a prob with proportions, but I drew it quite quickly in my bad-lightened room...

I once drew a girl from a mag., but I haven't scanned it yet...
I did it so well that all my teachers asked "Oh, she's very pretty, she's your gf?" (then: "I have no gf? :mad:")

[Tori-Yama]

>>I once drew a girl from a mag., but I haven't scanned it yet...

go on ;)


>>In fact, I tried to not make it realistic... I know there is a prob with proportions, but I drew it quite quickly in my bad-lightened room...<<

Then you should try cellshading, this gives the drawing a more anime-looking style, AND if you did it right, it looks really cool and a "sort of" realistic too. The best way to learn this is to imitate shadows of real photos and convert them to cells I guess, I learned it that way. And of course, imitate at other artists.

[Mr. Killjoy]

Well, I'll try ... one day

[7th]

that's bad for your eyes...its nice to have well-lighted area to work on.

[Mr. Killjoy]

Yeah, but the lights in my house are weak, it gives a yellow lightening

toriyama, i was just curious: what other apps do you use aside from PS and OC?

[Tori-Yama]

They are both the best programs in they fields, so nothing else, just these programs.

[the_morbidus]

hi, well this another drawing that has no meaning on it, after i completed it i though the title would fit better if it was called "redemption" , anyways i just did it because sometimes i feel like an angel that can't do nothing to protect the ones that i love so i just "fall"!!!!

hope you guys like it......

thanks.
yes, its mine...although, my art is not that good...at least not yet...

i really have a very long but exciting way to go to surpass the level of my classmates and friends....especially with that special girl that inspired me in the arts.

about the secret...it's the exact opposite! i'm in the process of rediscovering my faith and relationship with God right now...
haven't been doing worthwhile things in my life for a while back so now i'm dedicating my best efforts into this life and the gifts he has invested on me... and believe it or not, it really helped me improve not only in the arts, but on everything else as well...especially during the times i really felt undeserving to be in an art school. (sometimes i still do)

and that's so much more effective and better than selling your soul any day. and besides, you really can't sell something which belongs to the Creator.

:D

i think he's got a talent for it... and he studied it a bit too... he's at a way higher level than us morbidus.

don't think that way! i wouldn't have improved if i was always disheartened or severely awestruck by the works of my classmates...we all wanted to be much, much better...as should everyone be. the good ones of course didn't want just to stay in thier 'level' since it was inevitable that the rest of us would soon catch up or surpass them. it's the constant competition that drive us to keep improving.

[Tori-Yama]

Hmh, do ya prefer crosshatch or smoothshading? Well, for quickdrawings and for mangas I prefer crosshatch becuase of the timebonus and its a lot less expensive than these foils. But both are great techniques for shading...if you can handle them ;>

I just noticed that there is a difference between the inc sketch and the last drawing, I know that the shadows of the last are the central point but the outlines and the proportions are much less detailed, are the first one initial or the last? Or both from different artists/photos? Well, don't take it amiss but it just catches my eyes. BTW: I will get my gfxboard in a few days. I ordered the "Vacom Volito" GFX Pan (50 $ / € ) and I'm really really curious about that. I will post my experiences with that.

[the_morbidus]

this one was a quick drawing, i was bored at math class so i did this girl, trying to work on shadows by myself, well i am really inferior to 7th in art, the thing is that i never took arts before, well i'm probably going to take grade 11 visual arts next year, i had to take some test drawings to enter it because i didn't had arts from grade 9 or 10 , i couldn't take grade 12 visual arts because i never took grade 9 or grade 10 arts in canada, last year was my first year in canada so i had to take some extra english courses to speed up my english learning rates and i couldn't fit in arts, this year i had to take three sciences, so also no room, next year i'm going to graduate and i will only have done grade 11 arts..... its sad... i won't be able to enter a university so i have to take a shot at colledge.

this drawing is kinda blank, i only had an hour do do it, i'm not fast enough, not many skills , anyways i'll try to put a background to make it look better, so when i finish it i'll post it again, also could you explain what does crosshatch and smoothshading mean???

[the_morbidus]

sorry, forgot to say this, 7th how can you draw so well with a pen??? i always do mistakes in my drawings so i always do it with pencil, does it recuire lots of skill????

[Razor Blade]

Hey morbidus, Hows that comic coming along? You still gonna do it?

[the_morbidus]

ops, well i did 2 pages and then because i didn't had time, i trew it out in the garbage, sorry, i'll do it again......

[7th]

>toriyama
yup, the shadowed parts were the focus of the last one. a factor of my strokes would be the mood or the style and feel i like to incorporate in the drawing...hence, the more 'rough and raw' treatment of the last one since its more of a expressionistic piece rather than the other two.

i like both smooth shading and crosshatching although i use crosshatching more often in my b&w inked works while i tend to use smooth shading in my colored and or pencilled works. the mood or theme of the drawing is a factor as well, since i like to use and practice different styles and try to use the most appropriate one for the drawing. sometimes i use both as i use a a smooth coloring transition in coloring cross-hatched inked works.

wow, i wish i could buy a tablet pad too. had to use my money to upgrade my video card since we're going to study 3dsm, lightwave, and maya this coming semester. oh well, i guess i'll start saving again. : )

>morbidus
about ink sketching. it's fun and challenging. the way you just get up and go with it gives it an instantaneous and exciting feel...much like brush sketching. with no pencils, no guidelines, no erasers to correct your mistakes, it gives you speed and confidence. when i make mistakes (as i often do) i tend to understand more clearly how and why the mistake happened and how to avoid it in the future...and even if you did make a mistake, you'll learn to disguise and use it as a nice, integral part of the drawing. (have you ever experienced that a errant line or stroke actually made the drawing better?) and you don't need to be skilled when practicing ink sketching, remember skill cannot be attained without practice...and how can you skilled if you don't practice in the first place? : ) and we don't use the term 'inferior', just 'less practiced/less experienced'

cross-hatching is a type of shading where the artist uses intersecting lines which gets more closely-packed and denser as it represents a more darker, shadowed part of the figure. (jim lee's x-men)
smoothshading is shading where the transition beetween the darks and lights are smooth and blended pretty well. lines/strokes are so fine that they are not that obvious to the eye. (much like phtographic-like drawings)

times like these i wish i had a scanner. the drawings i scanned and posted were already quite old. maybe when school starts again i'll scan some much better examples. i'll leave with some more ink sketches.

btw, you're getting better. : )

[the_morbidus]

thanks 7th, well i shouldn't use the term "inferior" , you're right, also i was checking some drawings that i did last year and they suck so much compared to the ones that i do right now, it was worth the time that i used every single day to draw, "practise will take you to perfection" or something like that..... anyways i'll continue doing my best, because i know i can reach your level, see ya!!!!!!!!!

[Eface]

It seems i make the least progress here... i really draw too little... oh well, only option is to draw more...

[the_morbidus]

also try to look at many examples of drawings and try their style because you never know when a style can come in handy , also it improves your way of understanding drawings and paints, experiencing something new, is the key to success, but also to destruction, like drugs............ sad, sad

[Eface]

/me is not really into RL drawings...
I'd go with a forest or something... not that i can draw such stuff...

try an abstract forest first then :p

[Kid A]

/me likes drawing landscapes :p

[the_morbidus]

forest???? .....hmmmm green , colour of hope, don't know, she is to happy for that , i think the sky idea is good, lots of blue, also a sea, something like a beach and one or two seagulls, yap, the sky with a sea and some seagulls would be nice.....

[7th]

ok, i'm going to try the abstract forest and sea to see how it fits...
thanks for the suggestions.

[the_morbidus]

this is the girl's pic. with the background, well she was taking the shirt of so the background had to be the bedroom, can't put her in a public place..... i think the pic. got screwed, but never mind... better luck next time, oh also, 7th show us your pic. with the new background when you're finished!!!!!!

[7th]

nice, appropriate BG.

i'll post it when its done, although it may take a while to finish it... getting ready for the new semester and website i'm starting.

[Eface]

WOOT, i SEE AN NIPPLE!!!
NIPPLECRIPPLE!!!!
errr.... my impulsiveness got the best of me... it won't happen again *coughwebelieveyouefacecough*

nice art morbidus, you are improving with leaps

[the_morbidus]

oh i have a question for toriyama, could you explain me how you got that shading in your gundam wing like robot that you posted in page 8(for who has a page set to normal number of posts), because its really good, and could you tell me of some exercices to do(for practice) so i could reach that level???

also , i have a heavy hand, so many lines can be seen after i erase them, could somebody tell me how to prevent this?? do i need a different HB or B pencil???

one more can anybody tell me how to prevent finger prints and dirty marks in the drawing?? its that sometimes a part of my hand gets covered with the grey stuff of the pencil (don't know the name) and if it passes over other place of the drawing , it will make some undesired marks....

any help will be apreciated!!!!!!!!

[N1ghtw0lf]

Why exactly would that girl take off her pants before her jacket?

[the_morbidus]

because i like to look at girls with panties.... no doh

[N1ghtw0lf]

:D whatever floats your boat...there your drawings

[Tori-Yama]

>>oh i have a question for toriyama, could you explain me how you got that shading in your gundam wing like robot that you posted in page 8(for who has a page set to normal number of posts), because its really good, and could you tell me of some exercices to do(for practice) so i could reach that level???

Well, there is no special trick or something. You have just to keep in mind that your shadings should be very light. Then, repeat shading on the same point ever and ever and ever and ever (do I repeat myself?) and ever again. This gives you the opportunity to set very smooth shadows.

>>also , i have a heavy hand, so many lines can be seen after i erase them, could somebody tell me how to prevent this?? do i need a different HB or B pencil???

Heavy hand? Just try to draw softer ;)

>>one more can anybody tell me how to prevent finger prints and dirty marks in the drawing?? its that sometimes a part of my hand gets covered with the grey stuff of the pencil (don't know the name) and if it passes over other place of the drawing , it will make some undesired marks....

There are some good drawingsgloves on the market.

[the_morbidus]

drawing gloves??? never heard of it but i'm going to check it out, tx toriyama :thumbup:

[the_morbidus]

guys its horny time!!!!!!!!!!!!
i have a question , is she to "naked"???
because after this drawing and the one that the girl takes the shirt of, the girls in my school, well at least the ones that i know kinda stoped talking to me , they say that i am a perverted person :confused: , am i really that pervert??
well i like to draw hot chicks but i tryed to explain them that its just paper, nothing to get angry about, i respect girls, and i don't exagerate (much) in the darwings........ i'll never understand girls!!!!!!!

anyways i suck with the forest part, i was never good with nature, probably because i never gave much attention, well hope you guys like the anime like drawing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[N1ghtw0lf]

hehe...took me a second to realize she was wearing a shirt with all the nipplage...

[7th]

it really depends on the viewer...

just remember that girls are far more sensitive with issues and things about their body... even on a simple drawing.

to be ok, it has to be done in a really good taste. (has a deep artistic quality). also the personality, upbringing and culture of the person is a huge factor. remember that art like these (i'm assuming that drawing is somehow inspired by mai?) are from a very 'iberal' country like japan and france (no offense meant to these countries). but remember, the personality of the person is more important.

i mean, do the girls you know purposely dress wihout bras and keep showing off their panties ? there's a reason for that and a reason why they don't like girls represented cheaply that way. i understand why some girls would find that drawing offensive.
most probably you were 'labelled' that way since people often associate the artwork with the way the artist thinks about the subject.

nice BG btw.

[the_morbidus]

thanks guys, well sorry for the nipplage, hope that Eface doesn't show up or he will get paranoic about it, it will be something like this - "NIPPLES NNNIIIPPPPLLEESSSSS!!!!!!!"

[7th]

morbidus, remember its about those p.shots too.

toriyama, have you ever tried using painter 8? have been hearing a lot of nice things about his app. (and seeing nice artworks on them)

btw, you're from Germany right?
i've always wanted to know how staedtler (the tech pens i use)
is pronounced.

thanks.

[Eface]

NIIIIIIIPLEEEEEEECRIPPPPLEEEEEEEEE!!!!
:D:D:D:D:D
nah, i'm not too great about drawing breasts... those things are HARD... err soft....

btw, i still need to think about the selan drawing... i'm still not sure about her stance... nor the style...

[Mr. Killjoy]

That's fine, and I don't wanna be harsh, but I see some problems
with her legs :/

[Tori-Yama]

We're all still "in training".

[Mr. Killjoy]

That's why I said that, when you train, you'd better keep in mind what ppl say in order to improve your skills ;)

[Tori-Yama]

And I come to his defence. He improved his skills like you could see, didn't? ...so it would be a good idea to tell him what in a nicer way, rowdy! :D Nah, I just think he deserves a little praise and not immediate corrections. Artist are very softhearted ppl you know lol.

[the_morbidus]

well i'm only softhearted when i'm drawing, and, so i won't hurt people's feelings like usually i prefer to be alone, and by being alone and having nothing to do makes me want to draw so i have to thank people for leaving me alone, it made me improve my drawing skills!!!

i also have a Staedtler mechanical pencil, well i have a kit of pencils that goes from 2hb to 8b from Staedtler, really that company is really good in art materials.

7th what do you mean by "p.shots"???

[7th]

yup staedtler is nice (still don't know how its pronounced). i have .1 .3 .5 of tech pens. although i prefer to use rotring's ink in my staedtlers. faber castell is nice too as its my personal choice for mech pencils, kneaded erasers and 2b lead.
for normal pencils i woul still stick to staedtler (HB-7B), paper would be canson (french brand?) watercolor is prang : ), reeves would be good for goauche and acrylic, le franc and bourgeois (did i spell that right?) for oil paints, sakura for poster paints, colored pencils would be colleen or crayola brand and for brushes sakura and the classic chinese brush :)

p. shots means underwear shots.

[Tori-Yama]

>>yup staedtler is nice (still don't know how its pronounced)

Well, my microphone is sort of damaged ...I'm working on it.

[Eface]

finished something for a change...
hairtest on how i should do selan's hair, this is her hair INGAME, not from any artbox, yes, i did study all those pixels :)

Hey 7th

Here's the speechsample of "Staedtler".
Beware my violent voice ;)

[7th]

wow, thanks. :)
-ler becomes so short and almost sounds as 'lah'.

[7th]

btw, thanks again for the O.C. recommendation.
i'm also just starting to use painter 7 too. its has a huge brush and medium selection; the chalk and oil pastels are really awesome.
photoshop, open canvas, paint shop pro, and painter; have some unique properties for each of them thats why i love to use them depending on the style and feel i would like to use.

a friend asked for a drawing of mitsui from slam dunk. 2nd time i used OC, first one was the face on the 'mouse art' section. still haven't gotten used to it just yet...

[the_morbidus]

that is one crazy pic. , i wish i could learn all what you guys know......

[Tori-Yama]

>>still haven't gotten used to it just yet...

Nah, this looks quite awesome ...wait till you get your GFXboard ;)

[the_morbidus]

you guys are also thinking about buying a gfx??? cool!!!

[Tori-Yama]

Well, heres a pic I made with my GFXboard. I spend not that much time on it, but it shows how great this board works for me :)

BTW: Its made with Open Canvas.

[7th]

what board do you recommend?
i'm thinking of getting a wacom brand although i'm not yet decided on which model has the right balance of affordability and technical capability.

[Tori-Yama]

I'm using the Wacom Volito pan. Its less expensive (60€/$) but with a very good handling.

[Eface]

i've got a little a6 graphire ;)
It does the job, for me... i'm not such a great artist, so i don't need extraordinary stuff...

[the_morbidus]

i watched the movie "2 fast 2 furious" last saturday and it was amazing, anyways, the stikers on the cars and their paint are amazing, well i wanna see who does the coollest car, so pick a model and do some drawings, well mine will be a mitsubishi eclipse, my favourite , lets see if you can beat mine!!!!!!!!!!!

[Eface]

can't draw cars...

[Tori-Yama]

Yeah, like me, they are just too square and if you miss the right perspective it looks like crap. BTW: I hate cars.

[the_morbidus]

well if ya wanna do one easily go to www.newgrounds.com then go to the pic with a car that says custom rides and play the game, you can easily build one and there are some cool models!!!!!!!! try it!!!!!!!!!

[Strider]

umm, i dunno if youre allowed to link pages with adult material on the main page, i personally dont mind since ive been at newground several times before but... rules :/

[the_morbidus]

newgrounds is a adult place??? didn't know that and i'm very sorry for the problems caused........

[Strider]

well, most of the site is technically not an adult place... just that it has a lot of advertisements to adult places and its fair share of adult stuff on the site
