Traditional art is so difficult imo and I always respect people who can work with real paint. Nice L sketch too, im guessing thats electronic with graphics tab?

Some quick sketches I had done from my sketch book I scanned a while back. These arent old but I wouldnt call them new either, hopefully will scan some of the new stuff in tomorow.

My favourite was probably the last one.

[quote name='Rurouni922']Ooooh...Some very nice stuff. I don't really like the first one, but that's either because of the leg issue, and I'm just not into the joker horror-ish things. x.x. Other than that, I'm diggin' the other two. Especially the last one, when drawing hands I can never get the mechanics to make it look 3-D. Anyway, great stuff, [B]not sure why you'd be scared of posting them.[/B][/QUOTE] The internet is a scary place, so many sensei's at art. Usually I get ripped up on forums.

Finally built up enough courage to post up some of my sketch's. Lets see how it pans out. Just to keep the thread a little exciting ill try and update everyday with a new sketch, should keep me drawing and improving too. Heres some stuff I drew recently.

Im trying to learn how to draw women so thats why you will see alot of this type of stuff in my drawings.:animeswea [url]http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/4524/vampbitelustku4.jpg[/url] [IMG]http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/4524/vampbitelustku4.jpg[/IMG] :animeswea so yeh, i was a bit bored and did this really rough pic. I dont think Ill ever clean up or complete it but I like it alot for some reason. Well thats it for now, but I will return with more. I am open to C&C and will do my best to take it firmly on the chin. I probably wont alter pics already done but I sure will take tips on board to improve future sketch's. EDIT: DOH! just noticed i made a typo in the thread title, sorry. Please could a mod fix it when they see it.

I dont believe in ghosts but i do believe in VAMPIRES. I am one you see.

Sorry for such a late response. Its cool how you have drawing from different time zones as I usually lose most my stuff. I can also tell your improving your abilities. Your ability to draw faces is of a high level and I really like the dani california pics face. In terms of improvements I would say you need to practice anatomy. The best way to do this would probably follow some online tutorials that can show you how to draw peoples body's to look natural with simple elements such as circles and lines. I think if you worked on this area of your drawing they would be really slick. If you dont feel like working on anatomy or find it boring :P experiment with shading as I think that always helps pics. You used a little shading in the first pict for the hood shadow, check out some online tutorials for shading techniques too. Hope to see more whenever you get a chance, although I feel slightly cheeky for commenting without having uploaded any of my own.:animeswea P.S In my opinion I reckon your best drawing is the dani california one over the gunslinger one, and apologies for refering to tuts.

[quote name='Nerdsy'][color=deeppink]It's the case in those who aren't smart too. The ignorant do not know. That is the ugliness inherent.[/color][/QUOTE] Wow, you lost me on that one. Im not sure what you mean, are you saying ignorance is the ugliness (i.e being dumb is ugly in itself?) or something else?

[quote name='The Black Order'][SIZE="1"][FONT="Century Gothic"][COLOR="Purple"]snip[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/QUOTE] While I understand every artist has got to work in his or her own pace I would like to highlight a point here. Drawing manga pages is sooooo much different from drawing manga characters on a blank piece of paper. Its like a totally different ballgame to me. There is things that you gotta learn un-related to actual drawing and more to planning design and panels. Seriously I would recommend drawing comics as early as possible. I started drawing them this year and thought it would be an easy transition, boy was I wrong.

[quote name='Nerdsy'][color=deeppink]Better a Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied. As for smrts and beauty? I say go for neither. True greatness lies in mediocrity![/color][/QUOTE] haha so true, yet that is only the case if one is already smart. Ignorance doesnt know socrates ;). Thats the beuty of ignorance lol.

The way I see it... Smart and ugly = being able to become rich is all good and fine, money can buy many things that one would want. However there is things money wouldnt be able to buy, sure you may have the money to buy a hot girl/guy into marriage, but how would you feel knowing that its not you but your money that they want. With being smart comes the knowledge, and knowledge can be a painful thing. The knowledge of what you dont have and what can not be achieved (beuty) is always painful. beuty and dumb = Being beutiful has its perks as you can be popular, you can still make some good money (maybe not to smarts standards). Most likely the people that speak to you cos of beuty are shallow individuals and this is never good. The bottom line, dumb people can easily live in ignorance (so shallow-ness doesnt exist to them) and as was once so rightly said "ignorance is bliss". So with that I think logically I would go with beuty and dumb over smart and ugly.

You're not a KGB agent or a Nazi [B]and since your user name is Crimson Knight and not قرمزي فارس, we can only assume that you're not[/B]. And you're no Communist because I'm relatively sure you have yet to read the Manifesto by Marx.[/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE] Wow thats some splended stereotyping. Im lucky I didnt use my arabic name, for I would have loathed being classed a terrorist.:animeangr

[quote name='CrimsonKnight'][COLOR="DarkOrange"]for your information, i didn't hear this from anyone. I just kinda thought it up on one of my frequent daydreaming sessions. i'm kinda absentminded, even though i'm a nerd. :animeswea [B]p.s. anyone have any idea why i might be called a communist/terrorist?[/B] :confused:[/COLOR][/QUOTE] You critisized America?

I play classic arcade fighters (like street fighter and tekken) competivly in tournements. That gives me a big rush, knowing people are watching and pride being on the line. Flirting with girls I have feelings for gives me a rush too. I guess this is pretty much that same for most guys though. and the usual stuff like rollercoasters and paintballing too. As much as I would like to think I am an adrenaline junkie, I wouldnt consider sky diving. I wouldnt trust myself in being able to pull the line for the paracute. If I had a pro attached to myself, then I prolly would do it.

Be afraid... [IMG]http://www.seabream.com.au/WebShop/images/picatu_tn.jpg[/IMG] Be veery afraid:angry3:

When they said the new Yakuza boss was a cat... I didnt believe them either.
