Title: Ryu's Stuff
Post by: Ryu on August 21, 2011, 18:32
Oh, hai.
Just posting a few samples of my sketches here. I don't have a lot, but I'm rather proud of each of them.  :goodmood:

~yaaay!

These are pretty good. Very detailed. ;) The shading looks cool too (especially on the phoenix!)

:goodjob:

You like the shading? O.o Thanks~
Personally, I never liked the shading I did on that because of how messy it looked. =_=;

Ooh, by the way... I got a Wacom Bamboo Pen tablet recently, so I've been experimenting with digital art (using the software program Sai). I might finally have color in my work.
:goodjob:

Well few people can shade well with a pencil. It's good that you can. [Me and pencils don't get along so well so thank God for Photoshop]  :woohehe:

Really?? That's so cool! I just got one myself a couple of days ago! *there goes my savings* And the exact same brand too.  :o_o:
Haha, well.. can't wait to see your colored works. *squee*

You...make me feel so much better about my skill.  :touched: THANK YOU!

Aren't tablets so cool?!  *skip
Yeah, I hope to get something presentable done, but I'm too busy fooling around with the settings in Sai to do anything serious. But one day! One day I'll draw something worthwhile!

I like the first one. I like the lines. And I agree with Shinne-chan about the shading. Have you tried going darker than that? And the last one: good body position.

Haha, thanks for all your comments!  :goodmood:

Shading with a pencil is tricky for me, especially since my natural pencil grip is very light. The shading I did on that phoenix is the best I've done on any drawing. ^^; I'm always afraid to go darker because I mess up often.

Don't be afraid. You can always erase it--though there is a point you can't erase because it's so dark. And you can try using a darker pencil -- like 4B or something. Just try it out.

I dug a set of sketch pencils out from who-knows-where. It has a whole set of different grade pencils from 4H to 6B. I'll experiment to see what works best for me.
Thank you so much for the advice! :goodjob:

With no time to create any art whatsoever between my ridiculous amounts of homework, proofreading, QCing, wasting time, and sleeping, I still managed to celebrate Gokudera Hayato's birthday by writing a fanfic.

I like your first and second one the best. I think that you have incorporated wonderful ideas into your drawings, probably by adding a caption you would capture the viewers' minds. I highly suggest you publish some of your artwork, so that you have more of a motivation to promote your good work. I think that your shadowing technique is very advanced.

Aw, thank you so much, Cat!
Ooh, I'll keep the caption idea in mind. ;D

P-publish? :blur: And my shadowing technique is advanced?
Wow, you really flatter me, Cat.  :bow:
Well, in terms of motivation, I'm actually starting to get more into art lately (even though I actually have less free time due to school).
I've started a silly little 100 Themes Challenge thing...

OH, MY GOSH. I forgot to upload the digital art I did about a week ago!

I also added it to my first post.

PS - I'm going to be posting in the fanfiction section, so check me out over there...?
