Day 81: CounterInception
Do you have any idea?
ANY idea how hard it is to wipe out an idea?
That idea, that simple idea, sound, of wings beating is the most bloody terrifying antagonist I've ever encountered in any medium ever. We've wiped it out twice now, and God help us if we're going to have to do it a third time.
Anyway, SiuiS, these are dedicated to you.

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw!
Haha that's cool. Fire is more rounded. Can't explain myself better. Look at Mario's fireballs?

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw!
The pose and the position of the limbs looks nice and natural and expressive. Keep trudgin'. :)
About the scorch marks on the griffon's body... Take care not to make them too uniform. Remember, they are where the fire scorched. Imagine how a flame scorches, and how it would affect the surface of the body in that particular spot.Last edited by Kaytara; 2011-08-10 at 11:13 AM.

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw!
And with but a word, the scales fell from his eyes
The errors of the past; the wrong-doings and wrong turns
All made so clear, so vivid
And in the throes of the revelations upon him
He uttered but a single phrase, forever shaping the new world set before him;
"D'oh!"
Hahaha! Banana.
I am (probably to my detriment, given the concept behind it) curious about the soundtrack. Do one of you have a disk track that is just a wing beat? Did you snare a seagull from the far reaches by the sandy shore, and stuff it in a cage as inspiration?
Oh! Well that answers the "is that jayden as a griffon" question. Neat!
Sorry haven't been around, but you've progressed beyond the point where I'd be doing anything other than nagging you for things you can Already see. I feel very weird, posting in the Arts&Crafts section unless it's very pertinent. Poor DirtyTabs, I should lend her moral support anyway...
Going to leave this on preview, sleep on it. See if anything occurs to me.Speaking of memetic transfer, griffon seems to be the order of the day, does it not? Well done. You seem tohave gotten their basic form down pat.

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw!
I did! And I spent 20 minutes trying to draw one and failing so I went for the easy to draw option. Fire is something I need to figure out, though, so it's on the list for an entire practise day.
Ah! That's a great point, and one that I hadn't considered. Thanks!
Referring to you or I? Because my reaction to finding the transparency slider was more "Ohhh, so that's how that works"
Hahaha! Banana.

The ST never actually played the sound, though. He just described it as the beating of enormous wings. Though now you've got me thinkin'.

Day 85: The Dove In The Storm
She wishes the chains were hers.
All kinds of trickiness involved here. Not perfect, or even done, by a long shot. But I tried a bunch of things I hadn't before and the areas I really focused on - hands, face, and body shape - I made real progress on.
Character is Ten Feather Quill, from an Exalted tabletop.

I don't know anything about guns so I can't comment on the last image. instead let me make up for a long absence with a more detailed redline:

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw!
While I'm still learning how to draw as much as you are, I can't help but notice that most of your lines are very uneven. What I suggest is taking a sketchpad and filling the pages with lines, circles, squares and triangle, drawing them as quickly as you can while making them as straight as possible. Your goal is to be able to draw them perfectly and freehandedly.

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw!
I was going to say something similar as this, except your goal is not to draw them perfectly and freehandedly. There's this little thing called a "ruler", which you should be making use of instead. (Or the line tool, by whatever name it goes, in your software of choice.)
Also, what Saeyan said. Redlining over the stuff is probably the best way to illustrate corrections like this.Last edited by Domochevsky; 2011-08-14 at 10:48 AM.

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw!
Thanks! I appreciate it! A lot of those flaws I was aware of in a cannot-articulate-why-this-is-wrong sense and my response would be to spend another hour or so messing with the details and seeing if I could get it to look right.
I've actually done this a few times, but not since I switched to the tablet and the relevant practise evaporated in translation. (Well, partially. Still better than when I initially began). I'll get back onto it!
Hm, the line tool... I considered doing that, but getting the lines perfectly parallel is tricky and one or two degrees of difference quickly becomes super obvious. Part of the reason for that day was to become less reliant on it. I think I might try the ruler, at least for a while.
I'm sure that if I added some shading there'd be a lot more depth. Those were mostly as a draw-straight-lines experiment.Last edited by Thanqol; 2011-08-14 at 08:25 PM.

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw!
The orc's thumb needs to be on the other side of his hand. (And the... table? needs ruler appliance.)

*Nod* Yeah, I should have gone back and fixed that. Oh well.

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw!
Re 88: The sense of movement in panel 2 is good (the lunge back). Problem in panel 3 is the fact that the perspective is not working.
As the shooter has returned to sitting upright, but is facing square to the viewer, firing over thier shoulder would be very difficult. It would work better if they were still leaning back, torso twisting to face the attacker more.
Re 89: the perspective's pretty good for a first go without much reference. The only bits that really look odd to me are the benches, perspective wise.
If you're looking to work on perspective there's a great series called "How to Draw Manga" which has a couple of volumes just on that sort of thin - practical technical drawing if you will.
The whole series is good, lots of stuff about proportions, compostition and clothing. Best of all it's available in Australia!
Re 90: Adding even a little shading gives a lot more depth to the picture :)Princess in the streets.
