Thanks.

yaddoe, I like your choice of colors and the angles in your art. Very nice.

Are cartoons art? Because I draw cartoons, the link to some of the terrible stuff I draw is in my signature.

Yes cartoons are art! I love cartoons.

Me too, my favorites: Calvin and Hobbes and The Far Side.

Some works in progress:

The first two are drawings of the kind of place I hope to one day live in.
The third is a project to work with light and shadow. I'm struggling with the shading on the right.
The fourth is an image that popped into my mind when I read the quote in a book.

Have you heard of Paint.net?
It is like Adobe Photoshop, but it is free.
What I really recommend is that you go download the free program upload your pix onto it and then adjust the brightness and contrast so you can see the pencil better.

I'll have to remember that. Thanks!

No problem, I use that program all the time. The tools in it are awesome.
When I illustrated the book How to be a Totally Awesome Zombie all of the pictures I did on the inside were just pencil sketches that I edited using Paint.net, adjusting the brightness and contrast. It made a world of a difference.

This is picture I did in January of 2011 and originally posted in July, 2011 (post #51), but was accidentally deleted.
It looks a bit messy because of poor photography and some digital artifacts.

Wow, that is really good, I am impressed.
What medium did you use?

Pastels. It's about 22 X 34.

Pastels. It's about 22 X 34.

Wow, that is really big. Have you considered selling it, or submitting it into a fair?

By the nature of the medium---most pastels are rather large instruments---it's difficult to do anything small. And for that reason I'm doing more acrylics now. As for doing anything with the work, I made it for a friend as a birthday gift.

Have I mentioned I still love this and I wish you had a better image to share.
It's a shame the first one got deleted.:sad:

wa:do

Thanks, P.W.. I respect your opinions.

I'm not much of an artist, but I write some stories and then I tend to draw the characters in comic-book/manga style.

Here are some recent sketches, with most of them unfinished (and not to be finished). Mainly I try to draw something to practice and then once I drew what I intended to practice I leave it at that.

These four are:

a) Bugs I drew while looking at a picture from a drawing book. I was practicing shading by basically copying from sight a picture with good shading.

b) An eye with a light shine.

c) A study on movement. I wanted to practice drawing a back of a man's hairline and the musculature of a male back. The circle floating there is a focal point that was going to be a guy's head. That guy was rushing at this guy with a sword and this character was sort of dodging it and ready to counter. Never finished it.

d) A flat dragon. I've been meaning to take some time and draw some of these creatures with more emphasis on three dimensions; this one was rushed and looks too flat.

 

[Penumbra]

These two are villains. The woman is a mage; that one is finished but kind of plain. The other one is an unfinished sketch of a villain that has a special arm. (In the earlier picture with the floating circle and the guy dodging; that circle was eventually going to be the head and full body of this guy. He's the one that other guy was fighting.)

 

[Penumbra]

For these pictures, I was drawing portraits and practicing consistency with a certain stylization. It's two different women and two pictures of the same man.

 

[Penumbra]

This one's a finished and inked picture. It's a comic/manga style self-portrait.

With the apple, I was kind of intending an Adam/Eve/Fruit-of-Knowledge sort of theme for some reason, but the character is myself.

I can't see the images in you last post here, Penumbra.

Edit: nvm, soon as I posted this, they appeared.
