I dunno what to draw now... I'm kinda stuck after my last drawing.

This took 3 minutes to throw together quickly and while it's bad you get the idea lol...it's not hard to get going

Re: Art/Drawing Thread

Yeah, always been interested in art. It was actually my high school "major" (it's what they called it. We chose between three types of curriculum).

I had drifted away from it, aside from usual doodling, over the past 11 years since, but recently trying some new stuff - namely downloading a random sketchbook app on my iPad and using the generic stylus I have.

Most of the time I prefer sketching actual people or places over cartoon or fantasy elements...and I'm a big fan of standard pencil and paper. I've gotten a feel for sketching on an iPad, but you lose a lot of the fine control you typically have. It's a new experience though.

Here's what I've done over the past few months.

I like and prefer realistic drawings, but also trying to branch out and focus more on sketching quick simple things just so not everything has to be this BIG project in my mind.

I end up with stuff like this...

Love the variety man.. thats the best thing about art.. there is no set way to do it, you just do it. I love the drawings personally.

I feel like I'm too technical at times with drawing... I feel like I should get realism down first before doing cartoon stuff. Being uncomfortable stinks at times.

Re: Art/Drawing Thread

You shouldnt worry so much.. I think its harder to do realism drawings than it is a cartoon to be honest. I used to do alot of characters in my sleep almost but its the ones where I would draw posters of NBA players and stuff that took the most time. Its so much extra detail that goes into it....look at those pics above, you can't mess up on that and make it look right

Do whatever comes naturally. If it's cartoon, it's cartoon. Not that you should go out of your way to ignore other types of drawing or techniques, but better to do work and enjoy it than force (for lack of a better word) something you're just not feeling right now.

I generally like how they came out, but there's a lot of annoying trial-and-error with an iPad app that's just an obvious part of using an iPad instead of traditional stuff. Almost stopped a few just because it was a roadblock at times.

Is that pencil?

Curious to see how the hair turns out... always the most tedious part to me.

Re: Art/Drawing Thread

23 I can't see your pic man, it's not showing up for me.

Drawing used to be my main passion, but as I got older I kind of left it behind. I wanted to be a comic book artist but let the dream all but die. About 10 years ago I got a Wacom tablet but never really learned to use it. Last year I gave it another shot and came up with this:





Nothing major I know, just a quick sketch of my dog trying to get a feel for the tablet. Unfortunately I stopped again but I always have it in the back of my mind to focus on it again. I feel like it would help me a lot, but I just never do it.

That's really good man.

This is how I used to draw. I always went for an ultra realistic rendering of things. Never was much of the cartoony type drawer.

Man, this makes me want to draw now lol

Yup, it's pencil. I've never really been good with hair. Or hands.
