Real nice drawings Ink. But the thing about drawing, at least for me anyway, is that I CAN'T color. At all.  :joystick:

I HATE coloring, everytime I try to color, it just ruins the whole picture for me. I'm not saying black and white paintings/sketches are bettered than colored ones, I'm saying I can't color for the life of me. If I could, I would.

As for tools, like special pencils and brushes or things like that, I never use them. Give me a plain #2 pencil and I'll draw whatever you want me to draw. Give me a 6B or a 3H and I'll stand there going "duuhhhhh.... :headscratch:"

Maybe I should start learning how to use those things, but I've always liked drawing with #2 pencils, press on it and you have dark clean lines, lightly stroke it and you have gray shading, and I can do just about everything with it.

very nice Madda :aok



Thanks man! Still a lot of work left to be done on it, but I'm pleased with the progress so far.

I actually caved in to your argument from a while back and went ahead and used a grid this time. Made out almost too easy.

When I get my scanner hooked back up I'll post a scan of it. Unfortunately I'm not back online yet worth anything but my phone, so it may be December before I can do any real posting of pics and stuff. Hopefully I can get back in game then as well.

I'm sorry, but pressing a few buttons on GIMP or Photoshop doesn't count as art for me. Maybe for you, but not me.  ;)

Nice! Thanks, I already knew some of those techniques, but cool to see nontheless.

Concur titanic...

The spirit of the thread is creating art from the ground up not creating it from an existing image although both could be considered art forms.  My opinion for the .01 it's worth is creating from scratch is a much more demanding field. 

Oh and Madd... seriously cool sir

Hey, I haven't been on the boards in a while, lots of real life has needed  priority for me for a while.  I've posted a few of my drawings here, though it's been a while. 

This it's the one I'm working on right now. It's a portrait of my girlfriend's daughter, about half done at this point. Lots of shading and refining left to be done, but you can get the .  It's not scanned yet, just a phone camera pic, so not as lot of detail from the pic, but it is there, I promise. It's just a camera phone pic, so don't be too harsh.

That's real nice!  :aok I didn't notice it till now. Looking forward for the completion.

Good stuff so far.  I guess I'll share.  I'm not in Ink's or Madda's league by any stretch of the imagination, but I dabbled in Photoshop a few years ago and came up with this "concept" car.   :lol 

It was meant as an inside joke with my squad mates... this is the "Muskiemobile":
