Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw Five: Polymath
It's frustrating being complimented on that because A) You're right B) That's the result of me literally throwing my hands up and applying the blur brush pretty much randomly.
It's good but it's not what I was trying to do, and that's annoying. Oh well may as well finish it.
I don't have Photoshop but that sounds like a neat trick that I should remember for when I do. I'm planning to upgrade to PS at the same time as I update my rig, get a new tablet, etc - which is looking like one year from now.
I'd describe this as having a good handle on metal and trying to break into jazz, but I keep playing myself into corners I can only get out of by being metal.
But all in all, I think that maybe my overriding problem is that I'm trying to be too specific right now. My most fun in drawing comes when I treat it like play, not when I try and force a specific result. I should be more flexible and open. Especially if I'm trying to learn a new thing I'm not going to get there with accepted methods, I need to open my brain and see what comes in.

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw Five: Polymath
Hey- So you're having trouble. So... Maybe trying something similar, but distinctly different?
A small request: In the Paper Mario style, I want you to try your hand at drawing three things:
- A samurai, Longspear using Goomba
- Peach drop kicking a Koopa
- A very canadian looking bom-omb.
In case that might provide some sort of help. You can freely ignore this, if you like.

Naw dude, you gave an honest compliment and were correct, I'm just doing the tortured artist thing.

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw Five: Polymath
I met someone I dared to call friend, he knew not my name nor I his but we met on a long winding road up the mountain where the greats would rest. Hands smudged with ink and lead I knew his struggles of time and I called out to him in hopes of finding someone to walk the path with "Challenge?"
This is horrifying beyond anything Lovecraft ever wrote or Giger ever drew.

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw Five: Polymath
So allow me to step outside of my slippery prose that drips upon the ear like honey upon some flapjacks and tell you who I am.
I found it odd that you and I have been on similar paths. I'm working my way through my fifth year with art. Some time self taught others with teachers and although I've looked upon my kingdom of "art" and called it garbage people have noted "improvement" as there was little way for me to get worst. I've been doing my best to draw every day some doodles some step by steps to larger products but I feel some competition or someone to work with along the way.
As the challenger it's only appropriate that I allow you to name the challenge, whether it be drawing a prompt, something that we both have difficulty with or a speed test.This is horrifying beyond anything Lovecraft ever wrote or Giger ever drew.

Do you have a drawthread? I can't see it. If it's linked in your signature it's broken.
Anyway, draw the ugliest person you can. Show me what you got.

Afraid I lack a scanner for the next week or two but I'll work on this ugly challenge, it's hard to see people as ugly for me.

Just a big ol' metal boot.
Day 1542: Death Threat
A shot at a colour scheme. I tried doing a fady pen detailing for the face and I'm not sure if it works; used a more traditional hard brush on the jacket. I think I want to go without external lines and minimal internal ones, see how clean I can get it.
Oh and I'm giving everyone notice - when Stellaris comes out I'm probably going to die. When I do Balmas gets my unlabelled boxes of vitamins.

It's not. I'm already stockpiling leave from work and there's no release date even announced.
Day 1544: Everything I'm Not
Paranatural is a great webcomic. Couple of sketches from it and other stuff.
Something I've been floating around for a while was doing more stylised faces. I'm making that a bigger priority in days ahead.

I think I made a mental breakthrough with my understanding of hands while looking at an anatomy book. Fingers have four joints! One of those passes all the way through the palm and ends on the wrist.
Didn't do too much more. I'm over-brained today.

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw Five: Polymath
Came across this today, and thought of you. I was disappointed that it didn't have more when I clicked it, like an interview with the photographer or something, even just some more pictures, but maybe you're motivated enough to hunt down the source or a better report.
Reminds me of Lightning Dust. Must be the mane and the smug look, I think
Oh, and Hi, I think this is the first time I post in your art thread. Been following it from the shadows for a while though

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw Five: Polymath
Yeah, thanks! Ugly faces are interesting. They're not formulatic, you can't just draw an invisible nose and two big eyes and call it a day. You gotta consider the angles and asymmetries. And I've yet to have someone take me up on my challenge of 'draw ugly people!"

This is turning out way better than I was expecting. I think this is the right balance of line/lineless.

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw Five: Polymath
I had just saw that this morning and I too was thinking about what Thanqol had said.
Yeah, that made does look familiar. Though the resemblance falls apart now that I look at the newer colored version.
Yes, I agree.

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw Five: Polymath
Thanks for posting a link to that video. It had some good suggestions and wasn't overly long. (I find it frustrating to watch a 40 min video for only one or two helpful tips)
In response to the "No one accepts my challenge" statement:
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.
Ante: UGLY ACTOR
...I was going to type 'round one', but I realized we didn't set any ground rules. Real ugly people, or ugliness from the imagination? What constitute ugliness? Someone I might find ugly you might find attractive, or vice versa.Last edited by Artman77; 2015-08-21 at 11:21 PM. Reason: Typos. It's late and brain is shutting down.

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw Five: Polymath
Thanks! It's amazing where spite can get you.
Thanks, that method is really surprisingly fun and gives good volume and motion so I hope to make it my default.
Awright! You're on!
As far as the definition of ugliness: It's actually a flippant definition and challenge to artists who get caught up in drawing a very narrow type of Hollywood or anime style generic prettiness. I'm generally interested in people with unusual, craggy and unmistakable features - not necessarily ugly but definitely unusual. Minorities that don't fit in the smooth-skinned, clean cut action hero image. Africans, old people, and fat people often have really interesting faces that I think are under-represented artistically. I prefer looking at them to young, smooth skinned generics. This guy, or this guy, or this guy.
If I had to re-flippant it, it'd be 'someone with a nose that couldn't be drawn as a simple triangle'.
Day 1551: What Time Is It?
Finished this. Lighting is all over the shop but that is a challenge for another day.
