SmC12 9 Posted January 11, 2012 @Carbine23, those are awesome actually, and a great excersize in space and perspective. Thank you i take that as a compliment but what exactly do you mean by space and perspective? And Bruce its ashamed your busted but i dig the shelby Space is the area your picture is in, like a wide skyline in the distance or a closeup of an object. And perspective is the angle and viewpoint of the artist/viewer. It gives the illusion of depth in an image. Everything in the picture should follow that perspective as it dissapears in the distance at the vanishing point, it's mostly used in architecture and other precise drawings. For example a crate being viewed from a 45 degree angle. Your pictures are good practise because they experiment with different views and environments, which are good for having consistent and realistic drawings (although it's not limited to creating realism of course, perspective can be applied to anything).

*MURDOC* 4,797 Posted January 11, 2012 Sweet, you explained it just as I would have. But yeah it's good to practice like that because you learn firsthand how to use the correct angles and such to make your drawings (even entirely fictional ones) look "correct" and like they could actually exist. Learning correct perspective can be easier when you actually have a real horizon to use as a vanishing point. Having true lighting can help you learn proper shadows as well. I suggest picking a very specific area and viewpoint, and draw what you see, just like the drawings you posted, but draw the same exact scene from the same angle, but at various times of day, that what you'll get drastically different shading on the same objects.

Pico 85 Posted January 13, 2012 A fundamental element to art is space. There's both positive and negative space. Positive space would be there areas of detail whereas negative is nearly, or completely empty. They both have their purposes, negative mainly drawing the viewers eyes to certain areas of the image. Utilizing the Fibonacci sequence is something used often in photography but extending it to other art forms with the help of negative space can help a lot.

Pico 85 Posted January 16, 2012 Double post! Been a bit since I've done something like this during my free time. A bit rushed... working on some things in Photoshop, but for the moment it's all hand drawn. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryuclan 155 Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) The two on regular paper are just bullsh*t drawings I made to get through class. I'm a graffiti artist more than anything s so I'm good with words and letters. Problem is I often never finish my drawing as you can see with "Tasha's thing" (pic number 3) Note: Being left handed I leave a lot of smudges. The bottom two have had those smudges edited out if they look really clean for some reason. Edited January 16, 2012 by ryuclan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hell No.. 420 Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) Glad this topic is here. Really nice. Shame can't see anymore from Bruce! I went and bought a new pad and pencils today. I'd love to get back into drawing. I'm trying to find my Lance Vance I did years ago. Edit - I drew Mario. First drawing I have done in around 8 years. I don't consider myself any good either, I just enjoy doing it. Edited February 27, 2012 by Hell No.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hell No.. 420 Posted March 25, 2012 I find it interesting just the fact that people can randomly come up with stuff like that? Haha! Or are they from somewhere else? I'd like to draw today actually. Maybe a Lego man. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kalvin 10,558 Posted March 25, 2012 My Latest Drawing (Sorry for big size): The picture was cut into 3 parts and stuck together to get the detail in and not be all small and blurry. The middle part is blurry because i had to scale it (that's also why the arm looks huge) to fit the top and bottom half. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whiskey 327 Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Just a little something I done today to pass the time. Pencil and Polychromo colouring pencils. Still have to re-do the fists because I f*cked them up. Might give it a background too. Edited April 4, 2012 by Whiskey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sup3rman 63 Posted April 7, 2012 Here are some drawings i made recently. First one is a 89' Batmobile, but without those back wings. I find it more sexy and kinda retro this way. Second is a castle, just came the idea on a field trip, we were on the bus and there was plenty of time to draw this. It's a little light, because of the scanner. Then something that has fascinated me recently, also where i got my username. Just drew it on the back cover of a notebook. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ziggy455 678 Posted April 8, 2012 Something I drew in my Writing Class when I got bored. Only had a black pen to use so I couldn't rough draw it first and then thaw it out. I don't think it's good, but I've done worse. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kalvin 10,558 Posted April 10, 2012 I can't really add much detail to my pictures, because i don't have things like sketcher pens and stuff. All i have is a sh*tload of pencils. No coloured ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
