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...

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!

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

Mac the Janitor · #11 07-30-2003, 04:44 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.

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!

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!

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!
