ai's dump // Photography, WIPS, sketches, etc.

update:// Iunno, usually around this time, art forums are flooded with 'Merry Christmas!' type stuff. I never really got into it -shrugs-.

..okay moving on. New stuff on the next page xD;

-----

Er yeah. So I'm new, I've been lurking around for a few days, and just started posting today. Ah, just some sketches I've done lately. Sorry for the lack of finished pieces-- I haven't had the motivation to finish anything recently.

Bear with me till I get to the point where I can post links/images. Oh, and I like advanced C&C on my works, please & thank you.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thank you everyone, I'm actually working on CGing the 'crossguns' picture. I've gotten a few comments on other forums about the hand in 'fly away bat,' and on the lineart I drew on the comp, the hand is fixed. Thanks for pointing it out though.

Haha, familiar faces-- heys to Dai & Justin.

@Dai; I actually uploaded the wrong version of that picture. The one I ended up printing out, didn't have the colored sky. Whoops~

Question: Right now, the hair color of the girl in 'Cross Guns' is green. Does anyone have any suggestions of another color. The tone kinda reminds me of some character from an artist I'm not too fond of at the moment, but not sure what else to use.

Most amazing jew boots

Thanks for the suggestion. I just got that so I'll try out different colors later. This is what I have so far:

I was told the contrast in the skin tones need to be increased so I'll work on that later as well. Ugh. So little time so much to do.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah, I still have problems with finding my light source. I'll try to work on that. I wanted it to be coming from our left. I think I forgot to leave in highlights.

It doesn't take that long for me. I kinda just paint it on... I go with what I feel SHOULD be there. This was maybe....two hours, maybe alittle more. Started around 5:30 and then stopped at 7. There was a period where I stopped for a break. And thanks, this is like my second time coloring something this way. Not yet familar with the body's muscle, etc.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

ALRIGHT. IT'S STARTIN TO GET THERE!

The last version for today, and then I collapse onto my bed. I'm pretty proud of myself that there's SOME sort of background to it. Suggestions? I might just take the easy way out and apply like a grunge texture to it.... ><;

I was speaking idiomatically.

I see what you mean, I'll tone it down a bit. Thanks.

How ya doing, buddy?

@snow_drop; Thanks (lol late reply)

----

Mixed up forum rules, Ultima informed me of the thread thing. So while someone's up to delete that other one v_v; [[my bad]], I'll repost it in here.

I'm lame. Seriously, I am. I rarely get inspiration, and when I do, it goes towards a 'thanks for the hits!' kinda piece. = =;

Anyway, I'm back from the dead. I have a finished piece. Amazing.

Okay, so I was told to work on color tones/choices, etc. My first time using more than two for a section so, be nice? Iunno, bash it all you want. Yeah, I bullshitted the background, but the lag on Photoshop was killing me. C&C as always.

FELIPE NO

Wah, it really is too short. Thanks. I'll fix it up later.

I've gotten comments about the coloring on other forums so I editted that.. (mostly the arm.)

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

....

Ultima, you bastard. I am no where near being an otaku fag. Our school's being overrun with them though. : ( Naru&Shinitard. God save us. And your room/collection is proof of what you used to be. But uh thanks. To that ...second part.

@Chie; Aha, I didn't have a good camera at the time so it was simply a digital camera. Err I think its a Canon. I'll post some more photography piece later.

@vemp; I don't only draw 'anime', usually my realistic pieces are too big to scan in or stuck in school. I have a few new ones I'm working on that are more realistic than the rest. I'll have it up within the month... Maybe.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thanks.

Realistic pieces... subway portraits are as realistic as I can get at the moment. I have a large self portrait piece in progress that's stuck in school. I'll try to take it home next week. So, let's start with those. I numbered them so it'll be easier to critique.

The DJlines & Lookup piece are of course still WIPs. I've been addicted to drawing headphones and beanies recently. I blame headphones on Ultima. Beanies on two other people. I have another sketch in progress of a girl wearing .. wait for it... both a beanie AND headphones. Goddamn.

edit:// vemp, when I have some time I'll try to work on that sketch for you. Don't usually draw fanart.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Just character development. Backgrounds were half-assed, though I can't really do much on a 5.5x8.5 sketchbook. I need to do more of that though... (backgrounds). And pictures with more than one person in it xD;

That second picture, should be the doorway of a train. My perspective kinda got screwed so I stopped. I'll try again later. Third might be cover art or something, dunno if something real's gonna happen to it.





Does anyone else find that their art looks better in sketch form than when it's cleaned up? I usually end up hating my work when I clean it up. :/

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Thanks, I like the hands in that one~

Lol, coloring something is usually such a long process for me, and I don't have the time lately. When a project drags on too long I lose my inspiration for it. Damn.

For the mouth, iunno, I kinda got into drawing it like that. Guess its style? I think if I were to color it, I'd erase the dark cause I like coloring lips. We'll see what happens with this-- My project for club won't be colored so maybe it'll stay.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Oh please, don't make excuses Ultima. You drew more than I did and you know it. Plus my freetime was eaten up by the 'emo and suicidal' bastard, constantly raving about said girl. But yeah, earlier this year my stuff was pretty bad. Lol if I can find the old sketchbook, maybe I'll post some pictures, although I don't see the point in it.

@vemp; I know what you mean. I'm trying to do that draw it over thing with a bootleg lightbox trick. So then maybe I can get a clean picture without the inking. Reason I don't like inking is because I draw fast-- and those pens just don't go with fast strokes.

I'm gonna go do a redraw of the third piece now, let's see what'll come out of it.

How ya doing, buddy?

Haha, thanks everyone. Well, it's been hectic but I did manage to spit out an oekaki under the extreme pressure of Ultima and friends.



A work in progress, but it'll get there.

Most amazing jew boots

Because its sometime we all have in common. One way or another. >>; And thank you :3

Some new stuff including something I'm working on for school.





More photography! Yay!







Sketchy-ness

On this one, I've received other comments on the arm being too long. The upper arm, I didn't draw it properly so part of the upper area is shoulder/collarbone stuff. I fixed it on the sketch but didn't scan in the newest version. I think I also need to work on the wrist area and maybe curve the lower arm more.



FELIPE NO

@Shenlon; I used a range of pencils frommmm 2H - 6B and an ebony pencil. Probably shouldn't have used the ebony, but -shrugs-

@vemp; :< Don't say that. Your art is awesome just as much. (Hey if you really wanna cry, you gotta take a look at the stuff senior students create at our school. I'll cry along with you.)

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Haha. Well I'm still going to high school so tuition isn't the problem for me. Although I'm wondering what happens when I apply for college. -twitch-

I gotta go now, but I'll try again later. I tried a coupla times before with like three names, but nothing really worked.

How ya doing, buddy?

Okay, final version of the photorealism piece. I'll probably tweak it some more in class if I get a chance. I'm not too proud of it but here it is nonetheless.



There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh don't you just love my sketches. -cough- Damnit, I need to finish something. NAOW.

My studies on motion, ref'd:



These two have bad composition, and I paid attention more to the anatomy than anything else.



Oo yay, CG WIP. Finally.



How ya doing, buddy?

Thanks guys.

@shenlon; The first three were from picture refs I found on DA. Although people suggested I focus more on gesture drawings/speed sketching if I really wanted to capture real motion, so I guess I'll find someone to pose for me later.

@sandy; I've been trying to expand my grasp on different figures and faces. I'm glad that's starting to show~~

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

:O

Thanks vemp.

@yamamanama; Well I did for a while, and thanks.


Just an update on CG wip. PAINTER CRASHED ON ME WHEN I JUST FINISHED IT. -long string of curses-



I haven't set the other hues/tones in yet since I'm not sure what I want the background to be. Suggestions?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Actually what I meant was the color of the buildings since their lighting would reflect off her skin.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Really? I thought a picture should always have the warm tones with the contrasting cool tones.

Another piece, cubism for school.



----------------------------------------
I've just seen these around and I really wanted to do one. So here's me camwhoring. -fall- Should've picked a better setting though.

Spoiler:

In order from left to right: Yum. Mermm? Peace. Foamatmouth. Fakesmile. alskdjfnlskfmuuu. Kiss? Shy.

God someone smack me now.

FELIPE NO

@magi; It's superficial lighting, picture refs taken from inside a classroom. The three in the background aren't suppose to have many details at all. But I put too much in them. The one in the front that's looking up, has the most detail.

And what do you mean by that last comment?

---------------------------------

@vemp; I feel horrible for saying this, but I've actually given up on that pic. [rant]After starting the whole piece over again, I'm sick of looking at it. I've tried out like five different color jobs and...[/rant] yeah. -dies-

Me too~ I just started classes in September, and what I've learned so far has little to nothing to do with what I do in my free time.

More spam (oekaki):

Yusss! That's what I said.
