(Please note, i'm new, but could not find a introductions section, so her,e i just thought I'd say, hi.)
Hello, (again) i'm a relatively novice artist, and i just thought id share some of the stuff i've done recently with you guys. (id show more, but my printer is borken, so i cant scan in my pencil drawings.)
AND my most recent one.
I have done a few others, but i could not get them into this post. is there a pic limit or something?

Your art is pretty good!
And don't double post. Use "Edit" button instead. It's in the right lower corner of your post. |

You are great at art! The first and last ones in your first post are my favourites. :D
What art programme do you use? If you use Photoshop, I can give you some tips. ^_^ |

I actually use GIMP. last i checked, photoshop costs money, and id rather spend my money on other things.
PS: thanks for the compliment. i'm also pretty proud of those two you mentioned. |

I have found a link to where you can get Photoshop free, but you need to have Windows, and unluckily for me, I have Mac. I've just got the first version of Photoshop because the other one that my step-dad got doesn't work for me because of this license thing.
I'm still trying to get GIMP to work for me, but this weird other program comes up instead. And that's fine. I can tell why you're proud of them. |

I have windows 7.
If you like, i can supply a link to gimps website through a PM. unless you found the site, but just cant get it to work? Also, while i am proud of these, i still feel like a novice. |

#11 Posted: 23:09:41 19/08/2011
Yeah, I have found the website, but can't get it to work, like you said. I haven't taken much time to look at it anyway.
Well, when did you start drawing? |
Skijarama Yellow Sparx Gems: 1523 |
#12 Posted: 23:11:26 19/08/2011 | Topic Creator
well, ive been drawing since i was what, 5? but those sucked, and i only started really going into it, and taking it seriously this year. i have followed loads of tutorials, and have made progress, but i cant draw humans worth a snot.
|
Bolt Hunter Gems: 6158 |
#13 Posted: 23:42:42 19/08/2011
Yeah, humans are really hard, I suck at them too.
I still think you are great at art, most people think that their art is bad in a way, trust me, I know, but it still is great in it's own way. |

Oh, that one is really good!
Does he have a name? |
Skijarama Yellow Sparx Gems: 1523 |

Yes, his name is Falthis. he is a gray dragon who can breathe ashes, and is a character in a fanfic i am writing.

Nice! He looks really strong too. Is he good or bad?

a little of both. i dont want to spoil anything in case you reads the fanfic at some point.
|
Bolt Hunter Gems: 6158 |
#19 Posted: 23:54:45 19/08/2011
Oh, that's okay. And I have a feeling I will read it too.

Skijarama Yellow Sparx Gems: 1523 |

Maybe.
EDIT: I have writers block, actually. as well as shifting interests. my shifting interests make it hard to stay focused on projects of a single type for very long. |

I'm the same. It takes me awhile to think of something to write so I've just been keeping ideas instead of sitting at the computer for hours trying to think of something. And I'm also the same when it came to my older stories. I never finished them because I got a better idea for a story.

well, i dont sit and think of my ideas, i go out into my yard, pick up a stick or something, and act out the next few chapters. it stems form when i used to play out in the yard when i was younger.

Bolt Hunter Gems: 6158 |
#23 Posted: 00:12:32 20/08/2011
Oh, that is a good way to do it.
|
Skijarama Yellow Sparx Gems: 1523 |
#24 Posted: 00:15:32 20/08/2011 | Topic Creator
Indeed it is. works better the forcing the ideas, at any rate. The only downside is i have no fence, so just about EVERYONE can see. and it makes me feel really immature if i spot someone watching.
|
Bolt Hunter Gems: 6158 |
#25 Posted: 00:22:29 20/08/2011
I'd feel the same way, I get anxious a lot too. My back-yard has a fence though, but not my front yard.
|
Skijarama Yellow Sparx Gems: 1523 |
#26 Posted: 00:24:53 20/08/2011 | Topic Creator
Indeed. I usually use my front yard, as its much larger then my back yard.
EDIT I did that one about... a week or two ago? im not very proud of it. i had mostly been drawing with pencil by the time i made this one, so i wasnt very good with the shading in gimp yet. i decided to show it to you people, because i felt like it. do i need any other reason? |

(sorry, was doing some chores.)
actually, that is spyro and cynder. its a conceptual art for a scene form my fanfic. |
Bolt Hunter Gems: 6158 |
#29 Posted: 00:51:48 20/08/2011
That's okay.
Oh yes, I see now. Spyro just looked pink to me. |
Skijarama Yellow Sparx Gems: 1523 |
#30 Posted: 00:55:20 20/08/2011 | Topic Creator
yeah, i know. but i thought ember was more of a reddish color? (ive never actually played the games that ember starred in, so what reason would i have for drawing ember?)
|
Bolt Hunter Gems: 6158 |
#31 Posted: 01:01:39 20/08/2011
She is pink actually, I think it's a pale hot pink. I think you're thinking of Flame, who is more red.

Yeah. i use a very simple method when drawing humans, but i don't really want to detail that right now.
that is the main villain of my fanfic, named thermar, and he's a warlock. |

Whoa, I think that is one of your best pics!
And I don't mind the edit button thing when it comes to topics in the Fandom, I was once told it was okay. I just don't double post in the other boards, unless it is a game in the Forum Games section. |

Hm. yes well, i was working on another pic earlier.... but i got the shading all wrong, and i just was not in the drawing mood, so i didn't want to stress myself out, and stopped.
