Ok here is the first drawing I have drawn for about 6 or 7 years. I think it's a really good effort. I couldn't draw the outline of the face it was too hard. :wall: But I think it looks cool the way it is.
And I don't really like The Scarecrows left hand ( the one with the palm facing us). But I couldn't really be bothered trying to fix it.

The first in a two part series of The Scarecrow. Hopefully there will be more to come.

The second in the two part series of The Scarecrow. I really like his feet. And once again I'm not too happy with his hands, both this time. The thing I liked about this one is that when I drew the face from side on it gave it a scared/worried look, which goes pretty well with the story.
I hope the stories are readable since I reduced the size.

*EDIT*: If anyone has trouble reading the writing just give me a warning and I'll post it word for word.

Here's the third and final for now. It deffinently needs more detail considering it invovles some landscape. If I get round to adding more detail I'll post it.

I really don't think the last picture needs more detailing.

The atmosphere in the pic jumps out of the page the way it is!
WELL DONE!


As for the hands. Try to draw only hands on a whole page. That way you get more practise in it. At one point you will be pleased with the looks of them. But sofar so good :max:

You seem to be unsure if the drawings are good or not, if it eases your mind I think they're really good.
You seem to know what you need to work on to make them even better, so keep going!

:ok:

Thanks for the tip Tom :ok:
And thankyou both for the positive replies. :ok:
I think I would still like to update the background in the last drawing. At least give the mountaisn some more detail, just as a kind of test thing, but I will take my time on it.

Alright I finished my flower. Went over the whole thing. Got a blister doing all that shading, now I don't think it was really worth it. I call it "The Loneliness of a Flower".

Very nice work,
However i don't think the final drawing is as good as it was before you added to it.

Thankyou. But I think once would have been enough.

Was a browser error sorry.

WORM! Look like Bookworm from an old show I used to watch. But I like to call him Paul.

Indeed fancy.

WORM NO.2!

:angel: Thx...i like it :angel: :angel:

It`s now on mine MSN background :ok:

Look-a-like with a stiff tail! :D

:angel: Thx...i like it :angel: :angel:

It`s now on mine MSN background :ok: [/b][/quote]
That's ok wormpaul, I was thinking about you when I drew it. ;)

Love is in the air... :whistle:

My friend just said the ripples in the page around the second worm makes it look like it has energy. Too much energy to contain and can't help but just throw it all out and effect everyone around him.

Paul you have energy. :ok: Positive energy that is.

I can feel it...it`s swarming through my whole body...

Wish it would never stop anymore... :tnx:

LOL LOL No problem. Always glad to make someone feel special.

Love grid paper. Waste a lot of time in maths. :D

Hehe, grid paper... drew a full frame with a shuriken-pattern during class last year, framing the paper.

Anyways, I like that worm in particular. Looks great, yet so simple :w00t:

I have used half of maths books drawing faces, patterns, flowers, anything I can think of. Now I can't help but wonder why I am only just passing maths. :D

Thanks. I like drawing simple drawings. They don't take long and they look very cute and interesting. Don't get me wrong I like Voids, Toms, and everyone else's very deatailed drawings I just prefer simple ones without too much detail.

Here's some stupid drawing of some stupid looking.......thing.

One Word...

WEIRD

Abstract... :whistle:

You know. You should just stop being that lazy and start a bigger project. I'm sure that would be good at the end.

Indeed...try to make something really beautiful...

You got the talent for it...maybe make something with a worm in it?? :angel:

If I do a big "project" I'll just get frustrated. And I don't handle that very well. But I'll try.

I can't do it. The last one I added was going to be a detailed snake strangling a mouse or rodent of some kind, but I ended up with that. And now it happened again, I got really frustrated, ripped the piece of paper apart, and now I'm not feeling very happy. I just can't do it. I'm giving up the whole idea of drawing.

Come on..

Give it another try...when it`s done you can be really proud at yourself :angel:

Well I may give it another go. But if I do it would probably take quite some time. I'm not saying I will try again, it depends if I really feel like trying again or not.

Ok...we will wait for it :angel:

Once again I give up. No point waiting. No point trying to get me to change my mind. It's all over. There will be no drawing, I'm not even going to try. I don't care what you say.

Despite what I said I couldn't help trying again. And this is what I ended up with, not very detailed but it's an improvement.

Great work.

No doubt you have your own unique style!

Keep it up.

Thanks. :ok:
I'm working on something else which is more realistic. I hope I don't stuff it up.

That went down the drain.


But is this counted as Pixel Art?

These are terrific! Simple, yet everything has a dynamic look and feel. Your work is so unique to you, which turns any artwork into something special. The hands are very real, and the worm is ultra cute. Glad wormpaul has adopted him. :ok:

Thanks Wendy, you're too kind. :D

What is that? :eeeeeh:

Eyes and and one ear (I think)
But it´s nice in any case

Yeah, one and a half eyes, one ear. The top left corner of a face I drew. Then I scanned it into photoshop, used magic wand, transferred it to a blank page which was too small to fit the whole thing so I left it like that, then coloured everything black which left the lines white. But then I had to recolour a whole bunch of pixels.

Does that count as pixel art. Or is pixel art only considered pixel art if you do the whole thing in pixels yourself, from the start?

I was messing around with that picture in Photoshop.

Blurred.

Smudged.

And Faded.

I don't think so

Hmmmmm, oh well.

Another distorted one. Can't remember how I ended up with it, but it looks cool.

You answered yourself. :)
Else, any pic done with pc could be classified as "pixel art".

So the only reason it isn't pixel art is because it was originally a drawing.

I'm attempting some kind of pixel art, but I don't know how good it will be.

I'm sorry because I probably made a mistake. I meant

Otherwise, any pic done with pc could be classified as "pixel art".

Pixel art is something you make pixel per pixel....something done with photoshop, for example, can't be classified as P.A.

Ahhh I see. What if I used paint?

Pixel by pixel ;)

Paint is ok. I always use it. But remember there're some rules for it to be called exactly "pixel art". Check the Pixel Art topic to find out

interesning pictures :ok:

Cheers mate. :cheers:

MUSHROOM!!!!!

:blink: How exciting. :not_ok:

Reminds me of a mushroom I once drew. ;)
Looking good.

Hmm, now it looks large. Reminds me somehow on Ultuima 8... :whistle:

nice mushroom...

This made me wanting to eat mushrooms :ok: Love them

Very nice mushroom! :ok:

Can you draw a marell???

What's a marell?

Anyway it's bigger than my orginal drawing. When I cropped the sides it increased to the same size, as when it had the extra sides.

But it reminds of Tintin when they went to that small island and the spiders started hatching out of the giant mushrooms.

It is a type of mushroom. Try google images to see a picture of one.

Alright. :ok:

You want me to draw this.

http://asm.wku.edu/pix/fungi/morel.jpg



LOL LOL

Good luck.

Yes, I do. Marells are delicious by the way. Especially fried. MMM MMMM :D

By the way they are spelt Morel. Took me a while to figure that out.

But anyway I don't think I have a hope of drawing that. I'll just stick to normal mushrooms. :ok:

OK, I.R.S. :bleh: You draw your normal mushrooms. :D

Well today I got some sudden urge to do a drawing, dont know where it came from, don't know why it's been so long since my last one. But this is what became of it.

EDIT I couldn't be bothered cropping it.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. :ok:

interesting...

soo, somebody has reactivated his art thread...! cool picture!!

the little guy looks familiar, somehow...

EDIT

is he being caught or has he been dropped by the hand?

he seems to fall diagonally....strange gravity!

j/k :D

I think its Bomberman. :whistle:

Yes it is Bomberman. I drew it as him being dropped. And that's just the angle the picture was drawn at, don't know why.

Kawaiii!

I want one! :D

Great job, Iron_Scarecrow!

Kawaiii?

And thanks to everyone.

Hows this for a sig?

EDIT I don't understand why it's coming up black.


EDIT Well that's it without colours.

It is just black,or my IE dont work again? :blink:

No something's going wrong. And I don't know what.

I can see the top half of it (or all of it if the text's escaped off the bottom...) in Firefox.

Strange, before I could see all of it and now only the top half :blink:
Good sig though :ok:

Was that Willo the Wisp, with the inimitable Kenneth Williams, by any chance? I have all of those on DVD - once sat in my room in first year with my then-flatmate and my friend Kat and watched every single one while smoking a large quantity of weed, until everyone fell asleep. That was an amazing evening!

I quite like the second version of the mountains on the first page btw; it's kinda abstract, like it's not a mountain at all but a piece of flint that's really close to the observer so it looks like a mountain.

Actually I thought it looked like the worm from a childrens show called the book shop, but now I don't think it looks like him anymore. So we'll stick with yours. :ok:


I suppose I'll say thanks for your view on the mountains.

Ok I've got this picture working. I'm just not sure about the colour of the text, I'm open for any ideas, is anyone wants to share any.

Ok.I can see this one.
-look at it-
Wow :blink: .Quite good :ok:

That is an excellent Signature!! :ok:

Thankyou, I'm going to try and make more in the future, see if I can get better at using photoshop.

man... you can draw hands. I envy you :P

I was just kind of lucky with that hand.

Anyway I had a Chemistry test earlier today, and since I know nothing I had an hour and a half of spare time in a 2 hour test. So I drew this.

It's beautiful, :D .

The shell is really well done.

Keep it up.

Thanks. :D

I just wish I knew more about chemistry.

That's a nice sketch you got there, good stuff.

Bah chemistry, where's that really going to take you, unless your planning on being a scientist or something. I loathed my high school chem classes, blancing equations, memorizing and such,

Well the thing is I do 6 subjects, for my HSC they take the 5 subjects with the highest marks. I'm doing good enough in 4 of my subjects but Chemistry and History I am doing very bad in, and I need to perform in one of them to get a good HSC but I don't want to work in either of them cause I was forced to do them both. I'm in a bit of a pickle.

A tortoise-shell dragon - nice twist, interesting creature. I wonder what it says about your state of mind at the time...other than this is my thing, chemistry isn't... Very good sense of shape and great lines, I thought.

Yes I deffinently wasn't completely myself at the time. The lead I was using was very very brittle, I'd say it was about 3B so it came out dark and easy but it also smudged very easily and it got very messy.

Well I had a 3 hour math test earlier today and I had an hour and a half to spare or something like that. And I got a little creative. Nothing special though.

EDIT It is a 7 if you couldn't tell, none of my friends could I think they are blind.

Niiiiiiiiiice. That one is really cute^_^

(How'd the test go? :P)

If you think that is cute you should check the Turgon on the previous page.

The test was horible, I'll probably get about 30%. Math is too hard, I can't stand the damn subject.

haha.. Awesome. I wish I had some of your skills and imagination :P

Oh well.. I don't like math either :\ *shrug*

Heh, who does...
No wonder you worked in and around on it, free time after a test, especially a math test. :D

Well it was my last test as well so I now have holidays for 2 weeks. YAY :Brain:

I'm going to brisbane for 1 week leaving tomorrow. So I won't be posting for a week.

I do - I'm doing a degree in it in fact. I'm not too bad at chemistry either - really enjoyed my GCSE, but A-level was unpleasantly hard, too much rote learning.

I like the way the 7 is threatening to find the derivative of us. I reckon I'm a discontinuous kind of a guy, so my derivative isn't well-defined. Not so big now, are we Mr 7?

me = failing maths As level, chemistry As level = piss easy

ROFLMAO. LOL

That's just great. :ok: :D

I first entered uni as a math major :angel:

...but didn't stick with it, huh? I'm in my third year (doing another one after) now and it's ok, but I'm not sure what the hell I'm going ot do when I finish...

Well I thought I would clear this, as I know people don't know what my avatar is. This is the original drawing of my avatar.

And another simple sketch from me, I know you were all dieing of anticipation for this, so you can die no more now.

the last one is cool!
it somehow reminds me slightly of bernard from day of the tentacle.:)

Hmmm I haven't played that much, but it does a bit.

Very nice :ok:

:ok: keep up the good work!

Nice Art!

Those are awesome Scarecrow.
u should think about becomin a cartoonist or something!
:D

That last pic reminds me of a sketch that I've seen in a book from Deke Mclelland - Computer Drawing...

what the hell is your avatar, now?

It's a face Danny, are you blind?

And I've never heard of that book Tulac if that is what you were getting at.

And I will not become a cartoonist. But thankyou for saying so, I appreciate it. :D

We've already established that it's clearly half a horse.

I give up, think whatever you want to think of it.

This will be my new signature.

EDIT I made it a bit smaller.

now that's...ehm...really...simple!
but i like the basic idea... :)

Simple is the way to go.

Simple is the lazy way to go.

Ever better than too baroque stuff, however.

Well I have been known to be lazy.

Here's something unfinished, I got bored and stopped, I don't know if I'll ever finish it.

What is this supposed to be? :blink:

(looks at all the pages of art)

I like them all..I really like the mushroom and the worm ones

I don't know how to draw myself...but I like your work :)

Hmmmmm........ well I had a sudden urge to draw again from looking at my arm, amazing where you can find inspiration. But I think it turned out quite nicely.

Very nice sleeve.

Arms are always so... inspiring...

Good drawing! :ok:

Thankyou.

Well it's been a while.......


yes.

It's really cool but a little square if you ask me :)

don't ask him :whistle:

I like it so very much that I really consider to ask you to upload a larger version that can be digitally retouched a bit ... :angel:

A bigger one?

1248 by 1650 big enough for you?

Big enough for me!

Mines bigger. :ph34r:

Brag.




The clock is very sweet, tho..better and more elaborate than your previous works I think.

Uhmmm... a living clock, a classic!

Nice drawing, but I'm sure you can do better the ear of the guy... :tomato: ... I know, sometime I am a bit pernickety...

Anyway, :ok: (I would like to use two thumbs up, but my right hand is occpied in holding the mouse...)

So i'm wondering which is better.

Or this. And I was concentrating more on the guys hair than his ear.

Oh they're both too tall.

Oh now it's too short. I give up.

Now it just looks retarded.

Useless crap.

I'll just stick with this although it needs to be fixed, alot, I want to rewrite that. But I don't really want to.

I prefer the non negative one. :)

Uhmmm... let me think... perhaps i like more the negative version...

Well I prefer the negative one. And this should be good enough for now.

I figured if I'm going to stick with this avatar all the time I should have a matching sig. Don't think I'll be changing them for a long time. Except maybe the text in the sig.

nice one! What's the simbolism behind that all the time?

I prefer the precedent sig... that's because i don't like the avatar repeated in the sig, but probably it's just my problem :tomato:

uh..... It sounds cool, and I like to say it.


Anyway the previous sig was too dull, nice and simple but colours are too dull. And I'd actually prefer to have the same thing in avatar and sig.

I'm wondering if this avatar is better than my previous one. I prefer with the border, I should have put it in a long time ago.

uh..... It sounds cool, and I like to say it.


Anyway the previous sig was too dull, nice and simple but colours are too dull. And I'd actually prefer to have the same thing in avatar and sig.[/b][/quote]
I think he meant the doodles...

What doodle's do you refer of?


Anyway to prove to Eva that my family is not useless I post up my families coat of arms.

It got a little bumped around over the past 600 years.

Oh, wow. I am truly amazed. How can an arm holding a severed leg possibly compare to what looks like the aftermath of somebody sneezing into a palette?

It doesn't compare because mine is ultimately better.

Yeah? yeah? well as it happens my family just this second unveiled a long-lost coat of arms. Here it is:



This image has been removed for being considered by a few wussies as obscene. You don't need to know what it depicted, just be content in knowing that it involved a finger and words that rhymed with 'duck stew'

:blink: Well I never...

PM it to me please :sneaky:

:blink:

I just don't understand that discussion...

:roflol:

Over all you get a 8 out of 10 for drawing from me nd I am not generous.

Thankyou Win.

And it's a pretty simple discussion, Eva offended me and mine family.

sure, make me out as the bad guy. *hides all the weapons*

Well you did steal all of my possesions.

correction: I rid you of your material burdens

Oh well that makes me feel so much better, thankyou for ridding me of such trash.

No problem :Tom:

:cheers:

Sorry you don't drink, it's all mine. MINE. :tai:

I beg to differ, some of its mine, see, we drink it together :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Thief, don't touch mine beer. :tai:

i'll take your beer, but i'll just put it into a time-capsule for 20 years to see what will happen.

I suppose after 20 years it will come out again, as beer.

not just any beer.Flat beer.

Ah well there's only one good thing to do with flat beer. And that's... SKITTLEBROW. I've actually had that once, disgusting.

Perhaps this seems a bit random, but... What exactly is the thing on your av/sig meant to be?

Go to page 8 of this thread, second post down.

It's a face never forget that, but what kind of face is completely up to you, personally I think of it as a Fox, don't know why that's just the first thing I think about when I see it.

The current text "Nought But Illusions", is my personal view of magic. Cause it is nought but illusions.

Two things up for Eva, I know they've been in other threads but meh.

You must enter a message to post!

Well this is something I been working on for the past hour in paint, I don't know how Midget gets things done in 10 minutes.

It's nice. The texture looks very complex and is easy to distinguish. Midget is a paint master we must :kosta: him.

Thanks. :D

This is the finished version. all up work time was probably 7 or 8 hours, but it took me over a day to complete. :crazy:

I stole some of midget's colouring techniques that I saw in some of his "doodles". But I don't like the colour I used for the buildings except for the glass one, with those two mad cloud reflections.

EDIT Just realised it would have been more realistic to have those two front buildings reflected in the glass one. :blink:

Ah, just some stupid little idea I got.

The pixel is great.. looks like a SimCity2000 style screenshot :P

The drawing is amusing but a little simple.

Show us soooome moresy!

Well yeah the drawing only took about 1 minuute. I dont draw much so you have to be patient.

Not sure what to say. Had no idea where I was going when I started and had no idea how I got to this when I finished. Yeah it might look a bit better with another arm but I really hated drawing those hand/feet. I'd say it's a bat.

And what was meant to be a squirrel.

The tail is awesome.
Is a feather, it looks so soft, I want to touch it.

Uhmmm... well, I really dislike the squirrel :not_ok: I'm sure you can do it better!

But I like the bat, expecially the "arm" particular ;)

Thanks.

And yeah it's pretty far from a squirrel in any sense. The idea was to see how far I would end up from being given something to draw. I don't like the head but I'm not in any particular rush to draw a more realistic squirrel.

I had CAD class today and had some time to kill, thought I'd show off my awesome CAD skills. :bleh:

Well, that's funny... but I'm expecting from you at least something like that:

http://www.ceco.net/autocad-free-sym...igate1.dwg.gif

I don't do boats. :bleh:

I don't have CAD here at home so I can't take screenies of my actual work. I don't have anything that deatailed yet, though I'm working on a house floor plan, got quite a bit done today.
