Self Portrait
Here's something that started off as a quick sketch and soon turned into a depiction of me lookin' all dorky as usual - only with a huge ass sword. Anyway, this is what I have so far, but I'd like some input as to how I can improve upon it; particularly the blade seeing as I can't digitally colour a bladed weapon worth nuts.

Hey thats cool! What do you use to make this? Photoshop or Flash? (Looks photoshop to me, due to the sun filter I see on the sword :P).
Looks pretty cool, I like the cell shading, and the comic look. Very nice, keep it up :D. |
Yeah, it was hand drawn picture that got scanned into Photoshop CS for editing. The cheesy lens flare filter was a dead give away but I had no where else to go with it :P
|
I like how it looks! Although taking a closer look it seems like the left hand only had 4 fingers. Or is it supposed to be like that?
|
It's supposed to be like that. Havn't you ever noticed with most cartoons characters only have 4 fingers? That was once made up to make it easier for artists to draw a hand and animate it. It's hardly being used now in big animated pictures, but you still see it every now and then in art and TV cartoon shows.
|
Yeah, I'm quite a big fan of old-school western animation, cartoons and drawing style. I find it hard to watch anime and more recent animated flicks (unless it's CGI) because everyone's such a stickler for keeping things realistic and boring now. :P
Having said that, the arms and left hand in my own picture are placed on really awkward angles and that bugs me. But I'm always my own worst critic. |
This is realy good, awsome stuff. It looks very smooth, nicely done. Does have that professional quality.
Keep up the good work! |

Just found the last self portrait-esque drawing I did and though I may as well put it on up:
