Post Your Drawings!!!

Haha, thanks Odog.

No love for my original drawings?

DBZ or bust, huh?

I was off for a little while so I only just saw them now.

Damn, dude, those are very creative. I like the detail, those are the kind of things that would haunt most peoples' dreams.

They're really good. But no, it's not a 'DBZ or bust,' lol, your drawings are very good, extremely creative and the detail is pretty crazy.

Fuck, I wish I could draw that well but I don't have the patience, I'd just get irritated if I keep messing up.

I guess I could just look at some tutorials for certain things on YT. Man, so much practice is needed.. I have no patience.. fuuck..

The 2nd and 4th ones are the coolest in my opinion. The 2nd one, to me, looks like something you'd see in Dead Space and the 4th one reminds me of that weird thing in Doom 3.

This thing to be exact:

They're clearly very different, but I think they're a little similar in a way. I actually like the way your weird looking monster thing looks over this thing from Doom 3 because it doesn't have a wheelchair. I don't know, it just doesn't seem right to me.

I totally know what you mean. I feel people like artists (drawing, painting/digital painting) have to be either the most talented or the most patient people in the world. Also musicians. I know being good at an actual trade takes a lot of time. I know it takes a REAL lot of time. It's hard to be good at something. But until you actually try to learn guitar cords or put a lot of effort just to learn how to shade a simple drawing, you know the professionals who do this everyday for hours on end have to have the patience of a saint.

I did the Knightly one in '06 and the Liddell one in '10. I average one artwork every 18 months or so. They're the last drawings I did.

And before someone mentions it, I'm aware my Liddell interpretation is actually a Wesley Snipes.

Dude, look at that improvement. You should cut your art work rate per year in half to 9 months, and you'll improve twice as much in the time it would take you to make one. That's the time it'd take to make a kid. Instead, make your own baby. That won't suck you dry.

Haha, it's all good. I was just bustin' your balls.

It really is just practice makes perfect. Particularly purposeful practice (alliteration, anyone?). It's enough to just draw a lot, but it's better to be purposeful with your practice. Practice specific things. Actively work to get better.

But you're both right, it's a daunting prospect... However, another tried and true mental trick is to not focus on climbing the mountain, but to just focus on taking each step.

I've been drawing literally my whole life. So I've had nearly thirty years of practice, although as I said, the last few years have been far less active as I've been focusing on other things.

And even though I've been doing it for so long, there are still certain people who just fucking amaze me... all the while discouraging me. I often think that there is NO FUCKING WAY I'll ever get as good as, say Kim Jung Gi:



(He's got loads of videos on youtube, btw, each one is fucking mindblowing)

But, of course, the only way to ever get anywhere near that good... is just to practice. For years. There's no quick fix or easy route. Training helps obviously, but really the only way to improve (and you WILL improve) is to put pen/pencil/brush to paper.

It's both that simple and that hard.

Nice drawings everybody!

I haven't drawn much these past 4-5 years but just recently started a comic course in college which has raised my motivation a lot.

I know what you mean. I work with two people who specifically draw portraits often. They are caricature artist for the most part, but both talented. One has been drawing for most of his life (he's 55) and the other has been drawing for the better part of the last decade (he's 29). My 55 year old friend is talented and draws things similar to caricatures in the new yorker. But my 29 year old friend produces brilliant work where you know he's just a gifted dude. He chooses professions, gets great and moves on. It's just the way he is. It's not that my 55 year old friend gets offended by his work, but it's just intimidating because they work off of each other. They have weekly challenges where they draw different celebs. Though my older friend has some impressive drawings, my other friend without the decades of experience blows him out of the water every time. It's just one of those instances where talent trumps all experience. Some people just get it better than others.

Here's some of his caricature work http://damiondunn009.wix.com/artdunnright#!head-shots/c3c1

All of the B&Ws are done with a single pencil. I believe a lot of the other color pics are digital paintings. He's done a good job at protecting the links to his work so you'd have to click on it.

Here's a ukulele I made in Illustrator a few years back.

Damn, I wish I could draw good.

I have a very vivid inner world and awesome ideas but my handwork is catastrophic.

Practice drawing straight lines from your elbow.

I've been told this before but I think that I simply do not have the necessary talent.

And I hate being average at something that I do.

Thanks for the advice, though.

 

[HUNTERMANIA]

Those are like perfect replicas of the show.


I always wished I had some artistic talent. My biological mother was insane and she used to draw these badass pictures of angels and demons and shit and I was always blown away by them as a little kid. Unfortunately, none of that ability was passed on to me

It's mainly dedication, though people with really bad motor skills can get a pass. In that case do pixel art which requires minimal technical drawing skills. Getting good at anything may require you to stop doing other things you like. So it's not unreasonable to not start at something if you don't think it's worth it.

To get good at technical drawing you have to develop your muscles. Drawing a straight line from your elbow is pretty much step 1 and that can take a lot of time to learn. Step 2, draw ellipses and circles. You can now freehand the cylinder, the cube, the sphere, and the cone, the building blocks of all things. Then you can get acquainted with perspective, anatomy, composition, value, lighting, and color theory.

Absolutely. It's the same in everything, Jon Jones being a perfect example. Some people are just born to do something.

Those caricatures are awesome, btw.
