I did charcoal drawing with my study association! Most of it is on the front of the sheet: After contemplating for a minute or two, I started by scribbling in the bottom right corner to feel how it felt, and then drew Piwi three times to get into it. Then I started drawing video game characters (using sprites as references). After the Yoshi turned out derpier than it was supposed to, I decided to draw a fat Wario instead of a regular Wario, so it couldn't accidentally turn out derpy. After that I pretty much started with the easiest character on my video game character canvas and kept on going until the hardest. I'm very glad I attempted the challenge of drawing a 3D character. After this I had the top left corner still open, but I couldn't draw a full character there in fear of it getting too close to Luigi's cap. Someone suggested Shy Guy, and I came across a Fly Guy instead, which seemed to fit nice anyway. While I was finishing this someone switched the jazz that was playing to an anime blind test, and I thought to myself that the only anime I had watched is Alfred J Kwak (spoken Dutch originally, but the animation is Japanese). So I decided to try to draw him! After looking up a reference I thought it might perhaps be a little too simple, but then I realised that was actually a good thing, as I wouldn't have to worry about lots of details but could instead focus on getting the shapes and dimensions right. And it turned out amazing! :D After Alfred, I decided it would be fitting to also draw Calimero. I can't remember how I managed to make the crack in his shell with a thinner line than the rest. But it's so much thinner than most of the rest that I feel like I did it intentionally. Or I just got lucky. It's surprising what someone who doesn't draw can create, right? The characters are not only recognisable, but most look pretty good - especially the cartoon characters, but also some of the video game ones.
I want to post here to show the progress I've made since I was active in the server. Around 8 years ago: And here's now:
Wow! That's incredible! It looks like it could easily be a character in a game like the Elder Scrolls series.
Here is a drawing I did a while back of Skittylicense05. Im hoping that I can do more, and get better results
For a study association activity again, we made space-inspired art. I drew this planet from Super Mario Galaxy. (first I'll show the image I based it on) The colours look a bit better in real life, as usual.
Oooh, nicely done 607! I am not good with traditional art, at all, but I am jealous of those who are.
Me neither, but I'm not jealous at those who are, especially because, like you, I have other artistic skills.
Since everyone is showing off their art here, I might as well contribute as well. This is a little something I completed last week for my avatar(s) on EMC, and on Discord. (Still not 100% sure how to feel about this one, I tried out a new art style just for this image... I have quite a number of conflicting feelings about it...)
I made these two with the study association recently. I mailed the Mickey Mouse to my 6 year old cousin, from whom I had gotten the following piece of art for my birthday: I intend to gift the canvas on the left to my mother's mother... because I think it was her birthday? Not sure, my mother said I should consider making something for her. It seems that not everyone knows how to look at it, maybe because it's so dark. It's a scene from a forest, though, so of course everything's dark. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
