not offended in anyway...just like making people who talk smack eat there words.

Not eating my words just saying the only real impressive art I see tattoo artists do is make a real picture come to life on skin


That is what impresses me sorry

ever see a tattoo that a dog tried to attack?

best complement I ever got was from a dog....he tried to attack a dragon I did.

realism is the hardest of all art forms including tattooing, I just grew up doing it.

the dragon the dog tried attacking (in progress)

I could never draw. Something about learning the proper shading, and
making the objects that are angular. Example, corners.
As I'm older now, maybe I'll buy myself a kit and give it a whirl.
He was an amazing Artist. It's not only technique, it's what you use as well.

Bob Ross was famous for teaching the wet on wet technique in an easy to understand format. He brought the ability to paint to thousands of people without having to go to art schools and such. ANYONE could do it and that is what made it popular.

Was he a good artist, most likely. He didn't show it on the shows because that isn't what he was paid for. I'm sure he did go to all those schools and learned all about colors, contrasts, highlights, shadows, spacial properties and everything else they stuff in an art students head.

INK is a pretty good artist as well. He must be to make a living at it. All it takes is practice, and lots of it.

Belial is a dick and was most likely born that way.

practice is something I have much of

Some good ones I found very realistic.

top one is awesome, color portraits on skin are not easy...bottom one is nice but nothing special.

To me making human anatomy look realistic seems like the hardest thing.

The first one of the girl looks like a photograph.

I've done some drawing, pottery, lots of different stuff and I'm not great by any means.  But dragons and cartoon type stuff was a whole lot easier for me when I use to like doing that stuff than trying to paint or draw hands or a face lol.


I couldn't even find a picture i've drawn if I tried 99.9% of the stuff I did was at my G/F's house from high school and we don't speak at all.  I'm sure she burned it all actually haha.

I do still have most of my pottery stuff though which was actually more fun for me then drawing.

Oz: While I am by no means an accomplished artist i can and will say this: Boos Ross and ink each have thier own stuyles and techniques. Art especially sketching or even animation involves finding your own "voice" and trust me every voice is unique in it's own way. My point: everyone can draw, its like  everything else- you do it over and over. Some of the best artists I have known will nevr publish nor sell their works. To see what i mean take two popular comic book characters done by two different artists, or even look up Luis Royo and  Boris Vallejo...

That's what i loved most about Bob Ross or even Donatello d'bartini, and Normam Rockwell; but as for Bob it was his simplicity and soothing voice. I do miss watching him on PBS

[Seanaldinho]

he was, I got a kick out of his "happy trees"

"beat the devil out of it" 

Tomorrow ill post a picture of a staggerwing i traced and colored in autocad.

Anyone remember the other artists show. I think the guy was German by his accent.
Basically his demeanor was the polar opposite of Rosses.
As opposed to Rosses softly spoken. "you put on happy little leaves"

this guy was more like

"Und you place ze leafs on ze trees like ziz! As he would stab the paint onto the canvas

Bill Alexander.

The greatest tribute paid to Bob Ross (evar) was posted by our own JB88, next to an avatar of Scarlett Johanssen, no less:

"i heard that the specter of bob ross roams the bulliten boards at night as he passes from the plane of etherial nothingness and into the realm of funk with a capital F.

beware.

bewaaaaarre."

Gentlemen, I believe that says it all.

I guess you missed my post early on in this thread. 

Try William Alexander; same wet-on-wet technique, but with a firey German personality. Both he and Bob were entertaining in their own ways.
