Comics art and boobers (by vemp)

yeah, and when I say "properly", I kind ofrefer to art that I can include in my portfolio. There's this local group of artists who conduct exhibits and all, they are more into digital rendered art. A few of my friends are part of the group, they are asking me to submit a portfolio so it can be screened. And I don't have a "proper" portfolio

But magi has a point.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

For now, they're doing exhibits only. The publication/comics thing is still under plans, it's a bit difficult, budget and all. But I want to join this group, at least I can get some exposure. But with the amount of schoolwork I'm doing, it would probably take some time before I can make a presentable portfolio.

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

In the past few weeks, I haven't really got the time or the motivation to draw. Maybe because of a lot of school work and stuff. So to change that, I have decided that I return to my old habit of drawing something, anything, every night. So that my skills won't degrade and it's also a way to sqeeze those creative juices stuck in my head. I've promised people that I will be doing some art for them, and I really apoligize that until now I haven't finished or even started doing it. Sorry Jessy

My sketch for tonight. Took me 45 minutes approx. It seems that I'm getting slow. (click the image for a bigger view)



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

Yeah, but still, an hour or 2 from my schedule won't do harm. I think my main problem is the motivation or inspiration to draw something. Unlike other people who are either forced, or have to draw everyday because they have to, or it's what they actually do (art school, work, etc.) But I'll try my best to get back into drawing, it's such a waste if I don't.

Actually, it's the same thing that happened 5-6 years ago. I got into college and I stopped drawing, which "reset" my skills. So now, I'm trying to make up for the lost time and opportunity to improve my art.

I was speaking idiomatically.

A bit. You know the feeling of being "drained", or you just want to sit down and relax. It's like that. I find it hard to draw in that state since when I draw, I kind of get myself into it. I sometimes imagine stories while I draw, it's like a totally different thing. Or maybe it's just me.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

This is for Jessy.



p.s. magi, can you color it if you have some spare time?

How ya doing, buddy?

wtf.. you color so fast.

Don't worry, I'll visit your art thread the way you're in here. That way you can leave P.S. notes for me too. Heh.

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

I'll be your personal artist anytime.

Also, this is the cover thing I was thinking about, but maybe I'm gonna do some more Rue fanart, and then move to the sequentials.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Dude, keep your drawings. I keep my sucky ones, that way it would remind me to improve and best my former effort. And it's also a way for you to measure how your art is progressing.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Just something to bump this thread.

A week or two ago, we had this drawing contest thing with my friends and fellow artists. The theme was to draw an undead, here's mine.



I need to draw some more. Stupid school. -_-

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

Thanks man. Working with other artists does have an advantage. Not only you can ask for tips and stuff, copy techniques, but you're given that competitive feeling. It's a great thing since you get to be motivated to improve or make something much better or on par with what the others are doing.

p.s. that's a new shirt.

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

I started this fucker 2 (or was it 3) nights ago. 1st night was on pencils, then I stopped to study for an exam. The 2nd night I started on the inks. Then stopped halfway (or was it less). I posted the WIP in my journal. So then last night I continued with the inks, and stopped after a while so I can play some NFS: Most Wanted (why the hell did I bother playing that game anyway?). So earlier tonight, I said to myself, "fuck man, you need to finish that so you can start on some new stuff", "ok, let's do this." It started ok, I was inking it slow and nicely, adding details and stuff. And then I approached some problems. Mainly the shadows, the wall/concrete texture effect, misc. decorations (sup 2 vases), and some designs on the wall (failed chain design of some sort). Also, I think I kind of messed up the shadow on the column and the rest of the shadow thing at the bottom. I was kind of doing it in a hurry, made mistakes, then covered them up with lots of black. Oh well, gotta learn from your mistakes.



p.s. It's a Conan inspired art, even though it doesn't look anywhere close to Conan.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah, I had a lot of problems with the shadows, especially the column and the wall. That's probably the part where it took me some time to start inking, and I messed up the bottom shadows, hence a lot of blacks in that area. I messed up a lot of stuff, I hope to correct them in the following pieces.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

lol what. that's too much, but thanks anyway.

(I guess I owe you guys some boobs drawings now, eh )

FELIPE NO

scarlet, thanks man, I'm actually gonna try and color the last piece I did and see if it fares well. And don't worry jessy, the next one will probably have boobers.. that or sometime soon. -_-

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

Happy Halloween GFF, and with that comes a halloween-themed drawing based on the comicbook "Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse", here ya go kiddies:



And I also tried coloring it. Here's the WIP:

Spoiler:

I also have a question for the photoshop saavy reader; how do you change the color of your lineart?

Comments, pizzas, and marbles are deeply appreciated.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Here's my first attempt at digital coloring:




I'll probably work on some boobs now.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Thanks man, I'll draw you some boobies for that. (and for Jessy)

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

hey thanks fellow Filipino user.

(same goes to you, naz!)

Most amazing jew boots

As promised, BOOBS!



I was speaking idiomatically.

Did this while waiting for a download to finish. The original picture looked so beautiful, so I tried drawing it. I guess you can call this my first "portrait".

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

zinc,



FELIPE NO

Another one I did while waiting for a download to finish. Took me about an hour, and a bit more for the cleaning. I'm doing these for familiarizaiton of the anatomy structure of the female body. I'm still learning. Reference is a Heidi Klum pic.

I still can't draw hands

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

Man, I've always wanted that drawing anatomy book at the bookstore. So far, I just refer from pictures or other drawings just to determine where shadows should go. Books are still a great way to learn things, I just don't have the money to buy one (or more).

As for hands, male hands are no problem, you can draw them as rough as you can, it's the female hands that I'm having difficulties with They look ugly if they have MAN-HANDS. So, I'm trying to fix that.

Also, if you noticed, my lines are VERY DIRTY, I can't seem to make clean lines at all. I have shaky hands, that's why most of my drawings don't have that much curves.

Double Post:


Wonder Girl. Tried doing inks again. Still having a hard time doing them. Always had a hard time doing them. There's a couple of errors in this one, hope you see them. Comments, suggestions, tips, etc, are very much welcomed.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thanks Jessy! Here's something for you:



I forgot I can't draw guns, so 50% of the time was wasted on drawing the gun.
