It's not self defeating if I can't physically do it due to having a hand disorder.

Actually that's no object at all, the magic about spray paint art is that it's really an illusion created by layers of generally sprayed paint... Give it a go if you can. Outdoors preferably and AWAY FROM CARS.

Oh I know, I didn't mean that in a negative way, was just saying. But then ripley says it shouldn't affect me with spray paint. I'll try it out one of these days. Don't think I'll be able to finish my OP by the end of this week. Guano crazy physics teacher decides to gives 300 questions to be completed over the next 4 days.  :huh

I might make this a weekly or monthly thing, almost done with this one. Just started yesterday. Any tips or suggestions will be greatly appreciated  :). And if you have a suggestion for me to draw, that'd be awesome too. This way, I can make changes as I go along if you guys spot a mistake that I don't see.



Excuse the bump Skuzzy, but I don't think this requires another thread.  :angel:

Finished it 3 weeks ago during my forum suspension.  :o  :lol



Currently working on this,

I never got a tattoo but I made this logo for my company and thought it might be a cool tat. Just the bird without the Condor name.

I never had the skills to draw this. I made it in Photoshop with several existing files. One wing is a reverse of the other.



By the way, your stuff is very cool. Wish I had such talent.

Cool logo, I'll start working on it when I find the time. :) Gonna be a PITA to shade those individual feathers though :P. But then that's always the fun part.

Hey Titanic, No need to bother with it brother. I just wanted to show it to you. I am sure with your talent you have plenty of request worthy of your time. I just thought it might be cool tattoo. At least its original.   :aok

I would recommend finding a book that shows how Boris Vallejo 'does it'
..the techniques he uses can be used to paint any subject matter.

I got my 'start' into 'pro' status from one if his books ..later I ran across a book by Robert Taylor
and it blew me away that he uses the same techniques as Boris :)

Short version:
Photograph it (or scan images these days) to get the composition you are looking for.
Use that as reference ..that way all the 'angles' and proportions will be right.

And Ink is correct .. practice.
Things I did for practice ended up being published more often than not :)
(ie: lotta ink sketches I did for practice ended up in the first Air Warrior manual ..the lil brown book :)

Google "Gnomon"
Like GE says... if you look at e.g. Scott Robertson's techniques.. it's ridiculously simple to build awesome toejam.  It does take skill to "make it look easy" that way... but still those tutorials will demystify things a lot.

You don't need to be Bouguereau to draw awesome stuff.  Just understand some very basic first principles and practice them, and have a vision.
