Just dumping this in case someone need reference to make ToS fanart.
Yep, I used this one for the costume xD
Hereās a picture I drew of me and my friends during my freshmen college. Thereās suppose to be more friends added to the bathroom picture, but I got busy and forgot all about it, lmao.
Well I removed deviantart link, just hope it will be fine
@Deithrian thx for contribution
@Ironheart Draw more plant creatures please, may be I will borrow some of your designs for my future art
thanks @minigod121, i like ur pencil creation too
hmm, i guess iāll make some fan art for ToS too
yayy thanks @Ironheart and i am very curious where did you get your inspiration? *you created such as amazing creatures
and thanks for the rest of you^^
Hereās what Iāve done to practice painting.
whoa . so realistic
hope I can paint like that soon
Its a digital painting, there are a lot of talented people out there. But you shouldnāt be afraid because they are better. They just have more time and practice.
For any art and profession, practice is important. When it comes to drawing or painting, traditional is best before u even attempt to do any digital ones, for learning and practicing at least.
I do digital paintings though, but not as good as you . . www
my artworks above, the colored one, I did digital . but the below is with paper and pen :>
Thats alright, there are some people who are terrible at paper and amazing with a tablet. And vice versa.
Like i said practice is important. The basics are easier just to understand in the traditional method, since u are tempted to use transform/filter tools in photoshop or whatever software you use.
@all
I love how everyone has a unique style to their artwork. Just shows that art is infinite and limitless.
I will try, but at the moment I have more plant stuff than I do any other creatures. So, I need to make other types too! Oh? Thatās fine. Tells me that I can draw somewhat.
Donāt you love it when you can tell you can still improve? Itās really odd, but its like second nature. It helps us become better.
Well, thatās a long gloomy and dramatic story, but I will make it as short as I possibly can.
Parents didnāt love me, mom got pregnant at a party, dad left saying he didnāt want kids, we were poor, at the age of 15 I was working a lot to pay rent when the parents should be doing that, I was kicked out 3 times and had nowhere to go, I was depressed, I was exposed (not doing) to drugs due to my sister bringing over really bad people and I almost got stabbed, I was called various gay names like ā ā ā and ā ā ā ā ā ā , only had two friends and lost one and now I only have one, I was picked on (people would spit on my face, threw paper balls, and pushed me around, and they would daily repeat that I was ugly and that I should kill myself and the teacher didnāt really say anything). So, I was sad for years and myself esteem was really bad (still recovering after 5 years).
All I had was really a piece of paper and pencil at the time and I started to draw circles and other really simple things. It helped me get away from the stress and away from other people (I think thatās why I become introverted and donāt go out much). I then got better because I started to draw 7 to 8 hours (to much time on my hands) a day for 3 years and improved immensely over my previous drawings. Then I stopped for 2 years because my artwork was destroyed (well over 70 drawings) in the pond (when my mother threw me out). I then gathered enough willpower to draw again, but those where stolen from someone at school who probably watched me draw. After that I stopped for years (again) because I was basically broken emotionally.
*Breathes in deeply
And then I was adopted and had a home that was stable enough for me to stand on my feet and grow. I decided to go to a canceller/therapist for some help and I started college and finally got a car when I hit 22. After 4 years with my family I got better and started to draw rarely for only 30 minutes to an hour about three or four times a month. I just do small drawings here and there.
I think I did a good job summarizing that up. Anyway, all of these past events have changed how I draw on paper.
Totally agree. No one starts off drawing beautifully, every one literally started off with stick-man, lol. To get better, you need to understand shapes and anatomy, and constantly practice a lot. But just like practicing to get better, if you stop drawing, your drawing ability will naturally start to decline as well.
I havenāt drawn in years, so my drawing isnāt as good as it use to be. Actually, itās far from it last time Iāve tried drawing. For me, even back then when I was actively drawing, a single drawing took me at least 6 hours to do T-T If I were to start drawing again, I need to focus on speed to draw within the allocated time I have available, then increase the accuracy from there. Well it helps if I stop drawing the character nude first, and then draw cloth on top of them.
If I were to start spending time drawing, I need to learn to draw a rough sketch (without details and background) within 1 to 2 hours consistently first, before I focus on improving the accuracy. I just donāt have the time unless I can spare a whole day for drawing, which I would rather spend it on playing game XD lol.
What digital software and tablet does everyone uses? I have Wacom Intuos Pen & Tough (Small), and use OpenCanvas 6 since I enjoy the replay feature. I do have Clip Studio Paint EX, but I havenāt gotten around to using/learning it yet.
Thatās some really amazing artwork!
This is a pencil drawing from a couple of weeks ago, theyāre my characters from a certain game known as Terraria. Iām not a great artist, but Iām working on it.
Doing pretty good I see. Youāre going in the right direction. Iām sure with more practice, youāll be great.
This is mine. It was for a contest about a fantasy novel characters, Mirage Noir, where you get to choose whom you like to draw. I took the character Myo with her power of water, reasons why the colours are all blue. You can check my DA at the bottom picture but itās not active though.
*jealous of people who can draw well *
You all have really cute drawings.
These are really cool!
#YO ARTIST PEOPLE
im going to need you to tell me your DA or Pixiv that I may stalk you
