replies please!

Awesome.
 
Your work is great! You have a lot of skill. My artistic peer input: the hands are great, the pants are really good, porportions and foreshortning all are good, but you could have spent a little more time on the face.

But being the sucker for originality I am, I say you should show off some of your own characters and artwork too. In a different thread.

T'is highly thooper, i think the face is good aswell as the entirity of it...

Sekto Springs 07-05-2003 07:31 PM

That's preety cool.

Looks good! It has a nice "rushed" look to it (compliment)... I'd say that's part of its charm.

I love quick, "sketchy" art like that... plus the way you used the watercolor works great with the overall picture.

WOW! :fuzgrin: Good picture, sligslinger! So colourfull.

Tanfasmic Sligslinger! Here's a quick sketch I did of Steef, although...It's just his face.

Good? Bad? Did it make you shed any tears at all?

I think you are both very good drawers:fuzgrin: :fuzgrin:

Mac the Janitor 07-30-2003 03:44 PM

Yeah, both of you did well. Good job. I especially like the eyes in yours, oddguy; they seem alive or something. Yeah, sounds dumb. But it's true.

oddguy 07-30-2003 09:23 PM

Thank you guys! Mac you're totally right about the eyes. Eyes are very important in drawings. If you screw up on the eyes, the whole picture looks bad. One time I was drawing a portrait of someone, and I accidently shifted the eyes in the wrong place........anyway, the drawing ended up looking like a completely different person. The saying, "the eyes are the window to the soul," makes complete sense. In Steef's case, I did the basic outline of the face and my main detail started on his eyes. Eyes show you what people are feeling, and I tried to capture "the poker face" part of Steef. I'm gald to see somebody notice the little details that makes all the difference! :D

Sligslinger and Oddguy..... your drawings rock! You've really animated the character of Steef by the way you sketch those lines in, keep sketchin' guys! :fuzgrin:

I know exactly what you're talking about, oddguy.

You see, I make Flash cartoons, and today I was developing the character designs for a new series. Long story short, I spent about an hour trying to draw this frog...ish guy on the computer, and no matter what I did I couldn't get the eyes right. So I ended up trashing him for a character that's much easier to animate, which I actually prefer over the froggish guy now.

Sometimes, I throw away tons of drawings because I don't like the way the eyes look. I can see what I'm drawing in my head, and I'm not satisfied until I get it looking the way I want it.

I'd love to make flash cartoons, but I'm afraid if I added another BIG program to my comp, it'd explode!
