My Beginning

So yeah, i decided that i should start drawing on the computer rather than on paper, so i can have more vibrant colors, and also because concept art has always beeen something so amazing to me....

well yeah i barely started like a couple days ago, im still pretty bleh on stuff... heh

so yeah i wanted to post my first drawing thingy

Well here is my outline of the picture

then i tried added in color which was here

and altogether here it is :D


haha pretty lame :P but yeah im starting to try to find out shade and stuff, it is suppose to be some camera eyeball flying machine... heh yeah...

I know its pretty very "lowtech" but yes im barely starting :D haha

pointers, advice, critisism are always appreciated :D even if negative :D

show us some still life!

Haha fuji film ftw :D

lol well i can't really see what else i should add :P

now ask urself, what different is this from the real thing ;)

haha, dangit... xD
my sister took her camera.... lame :P

umm but from what i remember it did have alot more shine to it, i just kinda dont know how to add shine to it, and a little more bumps...

just look at the real thing and see wat u miss ;) the more detail u can think of, the better

Are you sure you should've left pencil and paper? I think you learn faster on paper and then transpose what you learned onto digital faster... but w/e. :D

somehow i confused you with Tiki.... then it just now clicked.. oh .. theres a U in your name instead of an I.

but ya. Id start off with pen and paper of still-lifes or referenced pictures, then go into digital. Digital was much harder for me to learn.. especially if you plan to work w/ color.

There needs to be more light and dark values. Your camera has too much grey.

I believe you're drawing with a tablet. Even though that's way better than a mouse it doesn't quite feel like a real pencil. You get more line control with a real pencil.

I strongly suggest practicing with traditionnal media first to get a strong base and if you really want those "vibrant" colors then you can scan your pencil lines and colour em on pc.

that sounds actually really good, that way when i get a tablet, ill be somewhat better since i drew with pencil... hah but id have to get use to it first, thanks candy :D

just wanted to emphasize that. That's so true. Master the pencil, then the stylus.

and throw away the mouse :D

that little bit of line control you lose with a tablet realy frustrates me =(

once you get used with the tablet that problem will disappear, but anyway I always prefer to draw on paper, scan and color digitally over doing everything digitally.

its same thing as u learn to eat with sticks, some thing its hard and stupid while they could use spoon. But i think its great and can be used for anything :P Same goes to learning tablet, in start it was like hell... but after a while it pwns
