Ack! Please move to discussion forum. I was tired when I posted. (still am)

First off, it isn't vellum Wink

This is how you do it:

Get a plastic tray, board or any other plain non-absorbant surface.

Take some paper towels, lay them on the board flat, and soak t ...

Personally I think drawing from photos is a great way to learn.

First of all, the model doesnt get tired and you can take your time. (If you feel like getting pressured, you can use a slideshow fun ...

As long as we're at it, if you still need mods, I'd like to apply too.

I rarely post, but I do lurk quite a bit. I've also seen all the ups and downs of the forum.

I don't know that I would be ...

The site is not up when *I* check images/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Btw, Lilo & Stitch rules images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

quoteWhy don't you go occupy a few months and draw a picture of her admiring you? Just, you know, don't submit us to the torture of seeing it, as we really don't care.

I'd love to see it, if he di ...

I dunno about kazaa. The fasttrack network is immense and valuable if used correctly.

Why shut yourself off?
(don't answer that :P)

Excellent composition and good anatomy. I'd say you should try and refine it further, if you're able.
And yes, welcome to Sijun images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

well, it isn't photorealistic, but you did capture the essence of it really well.
If I were to crit, I'd say to make sure the edges and details were defined more. Right now it all looks kinda washed ...

I remember Jason talked about putting together a gallery. Does anyone know if he got around to it?

Hi folks. For those of you whacked out enough to think this is funny, here is the preamble for the constitution of the USA translated 3 times to a foreign language and back to English. Makes for som ...

Duckman, I'd appreciate such a list, if you please.

As for the colors handling differently.. yup. Every time I sit down to paint, I discover something new about the paints or the way I can use them. ...

Thanks guys, I appreciate it!

Especially the tip about acrylics first sounds like a novel idea.

If anyone has anything else to contribute with, perhaps about the actual painting process, then please ...

Okay, I did it. I went and spent money on oils and brushes. Rather good quality too.

Now my question is, what do I do with it? images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I saw Micke on Lumental post his first ...

Not to dog anyone in here, but I still have not seen anything that to me looks photorealistic, maybe with the exception of ballistic's pic with the powerpoles, but even that one doesn't cut it all th ...

Thanks guys!
I'd love to develop it, but I'd have to do it in photoshop or similar then. The original charcoal sketch (which you're seeing inverted and enlarged) is only about 2 inches high!

I doodled this in art class one day during a small lecture on impressionism... images/smiles/icon_smile.gif
Just wanted to share!

Hi Veb..

It strikes me as odd that her face is so far out to the left when compared to her neck. Since we see it (almost) straight on, it should be more centered on the neck.... but then again, mayb ...

Ok.. a few chip-ins from me, since I'm looking to buy new stuff soon too.

First of all, why not get althon XP? It is clearly better than the older ones.

Secondly, consider holding off on a motherboa ...

To answer your question.. all age groups are represented here. Though I think experience and will to learn means more than whether you are young or old.

As for how it works, come on now images/smi ...

Looking good there, Doctor images/smiles/icon_smile.gif
If you go check out craig's site and look at his bandai mech picture, I'm sure you'll get some ideas for making it even more dramatic!

How about a few work-in-progress shots? I'd love to see the development images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Jin, the yellow/brownish boxes are the same as the red, blue and green ones. I simply tinted them for the sake of clarity. Your lines are wrong.

I did ask for help. And I am happy I got it.

Howev ...

Wow, Jin.. I respect your abilities as an artist, but I'm afraid your eye-balling is suffering somewhat more than mine does.
Here is the evidence, as per my original green, red and blue colors...

I appreciate the commentary. I think there is agreement that it looks plausible, except for the construction cubes at the bottom.
To illustrate what I mean with 'construction cube' here is a pic wher ...

Thanks for the feedback so far images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I guess I left out some explaining. Here goes:

I did the bottom cubes as the ones I'd use for constructing the other similarly colored c ...

Hi everyone. I've been messing with 2 point perspective. Diagonal vanishing points in particular. Now I'm wondering whether what I made looks right or not. images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif

Not a lot of art from me, but definitely an oldie images/smiles/icon_smile.gif
