<div class="IPBDescription">take a look</div> hi all, here i am again, this time i dont present u some ready-for-censoring stuff <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
noooo
this time, i made some hand drawn things... pretty noobish and so, but its my first time doing something like that
pic1
i tryed to draw a marine... well some details missing... some are badly missplaced (leg protectors).... but i made it without a reference, like all my other pics too
the biggest misstake are the bad proportioned arms, i think...

pic2
a real ugly onos... just everything is wrong XD
i didnt knew how the head should look... so i made it "open end" at the top

pic3
a marine, his helmet is broken probbably by a bite, so he is bleeding out of his head, and from a rather harmless scratch on the cheek. he is also mutated too, by some virus that got into the wound.
BIG misstake here: the realy UGLY helmet decoration! i hate it
drew some swords too, i like the left one... drew some self designed chinese style fonts on the blade

pic4
i tryed to draw a female... but just everything went wrong XD
the face is a desaster, just like the hair
then i tryed some other perspective faces.. not bad i think...
other bad stuff isnt done by me... it was my unskilled friend... well school bored him too <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Not that I'm cracking your stuff down, I see what you are trying to make.
this all was made in few minutes, so i didnt care for much detail, was some sort of brainstorm drawing
I just want to ask how old you are Joda?
Are you doodling in your maths book ? I always did <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Yeah, I like the bleeding helmet and his sharp teeth, but the onos..well just re-draft my friend.
The helmet, try adding colour to your drawing, it would add some more eye-candy and emphasise the wound. use a variety of red tones etc..to get that fleshy feel, sounds sick..but hey its a chunk out of his head <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
So if you are gonna re-draw them try adding colour.
Keep up the drawings.
well i realised that i cant draw animals/aliens, jzst look at the poor gorge-something on first pic... soooo poooor <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
well i cant colour very good, i know it already now.... i tryed it
i wanna learn to draw first, then i could try again coloring
you have seen the light jezpuh!!!!!!!!!!

Most of these pics are mine, but some are my friends, such as the rock on thing
Yes I know I put trogdor and bedsheety and weebl too much!
<edit1>Sorry, some of the words used are offensive, I was just in my must kill Ashley Barr mode *hes an enemy of mine*
<edit2> In all that effort of blurring the school phone number so you dont pester the nice people i happened to leave it unblurred in the third pic. DOH!
drop the wood pencils and go mechanical, it's not 100% your drawing skills that make it seem like your 10, it's somewhat the pencils you used.
trust me, when i get a dull pencil and draw, it all looks like that, but when i get a nice mechanical pencil in my hand, it's not 100% that "bad"
other than that, keep practicing.
Oh and nightdragon, you have a serious compulsive disorder with NS. lol.
things to find:
dollar sign
four beatles (band)
ladders
knife and fork (not together)
Cigarette
Violin Bass Guitar (dont know it? check Paul McCartneys Beatle Bass Guitar)
Gameboy
2 Palmtrees
Converse Shoe
Beatle Initials.
Good Luck.
Hmmmmmmmm the image is a bit small. But try your hardest <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
If bandwidth is a problem, try getting a FREE host at 250free.com
Other then that: Very well done rookie-artwork. It's nice to see that not everyone is born perfect and the only way you can learn is through repetition.
thx everyone for the tips, il try a mechanical, i have some here but i used them only for non-art-school-work <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
well bandwidth is not a problem, i got a free host. i just dont want so use more then needed, and u surely dont wanna see the immages every time u look in here
Also, don't be quick to grab up an eraser and remove a mistake you made, look why you made that mistake, learn from it.
Oh , and Night dragon..where the hell is that res node..I feel my eyes are gonna melt !
well, at elast i will practise, everything else will come with time
Oh and be forewarned men are harder to draw than women. I been sketching for three years and I only have like thirty pics of em outta three hundred or more. Half of those are crappy.
You get better by understanding. By sketching your experimenting and trying to figure things out. When you draw you are trying to conveye 3 dimensions in 2D, so there are alot of things you need to bring out in the picture that give it the illusion of being "real". For instance shadow, weight, proportion, perspective. Also you need to understand what exactly your drawing. For instance the eye. At first glance your propably like "its a oval with a circle inside" This would be the quick 2D translation of an eye but in reality its much more complex. You should understand in your mind that the eyeball is a sphere held in place in a whole in the skull and that its covered with a layer of skin that has a slit cut open over the sphere that creates folds of skin which is the eye lid.
Some more info that may help:
1. Do not shade - Sometimes ppl try to hide things with shade if they cannot understand or figure something out. You can create depth through pure line by controlling the thickness and darkness.
2. Work over shapes - The head is a sphere, fingers cylinders, nose is a triangle that petrudes off the sphere. Look at a person and imagine the shape it would take to draw them. This really helps to conveye volume.
3. Plant your figure - Its always good to have it grounded. When your beginning a drawing imagine where the most weight would be. Like if your drawing someone running with one leg in the air. The leg on the ground should "feel" as if its supporting the figure. It should be darker and have more details than the other leg. This also helps to maintane proportion and to visualize your image.
4. The eraser - The eraser is as valuable a tool as a pencil. Sometimes ppl concentrate too much on keeping the picture perfect and clean and end up having like the arms of a figure perfect while the rest is out of proportion or not as realised. Its good to draw around the entire picture in the beginning. Then erase and fix what needs to be fixed then repeat. When your satisfyed you put in details. The general rule is what ever is closest to you is the most detailed because you can see more info. As you go farther back into the picture you lose info and can get away w/not having alot of detail.(depth)
My personal info: I change what I draw with alot. Most drawings I'll begin with regular pencils (something soft like 2B) then erase and add detail or just clean up with a mechanical. When I draw with only mechanicals I tend to loose the organic feel in pictures. When I do cartoons or manga'ish stuff I like to work in pen because its very smooth and its just really fun to not worry about erasing later or fixing something. I think the energy and freedom of the pen comes across and makes those drawing more animated. If I had a light table I'd try goin over w/pencils afterward but I don't have one. My favorite paper is newsprint which is great to experiment on, bristol for finished neat stuff, and just sketch book for everything else.
Also I think it really helps to look back on your stuff. I have like 3 full sketch books, 2 more that I'm like 1/4 through, a bristol pad, newsprint pad, journal, and tons of papers around me right now. Usually before I draw I'll pick a pad or book and just flip through it to get inspired.
okokokokk I'm done
I hope this is helpful in some way. My information mostly pertains to the human body because that is what I love. I think God is an artist and the human body is his masterpiece. If you want to do like rooms and buildings you have to understand perspective, horizon lines and vanishing points.

H = Hard. These produce feint lines most of the time, you have to press pretty hard to get a thick line, and this will usually end up scoring the paper.
HB = In the middle. This is the standard pencil type. (EDIT: if you buy a pencil not marked with anything, it's usually a HB.)
B = Soft. These have soft lead (graphite, whatever) inside them, you have to be pretty light with them due to how soft they are, they will produce very dark lines, but blunt extremely quickly.
Personally, i use a 2H most of the time, that's because i'm relatively heavy handed. For thicker linework i usually use a HB or a very fine tipped pen and for shading i use a B pencil. I use the HB or an H for crosshatching, if i can ever be bothered.
If you feel you are pretty heavy handed, chose a pencil that is harder so your lines won't be too dark and your pencil won't blunt straight away, then again, if you draw very lightly i'd recommend a 'B' (soft) pencil so you can have achieve darker linework whilst applying minimal pressure.
If that system isn't in place where you live, sorry. Heh. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
*EDIT: Standard drawing pencils are relatively cheap to be honest, so buy a few of each, get used to the different pencils and find which one you should be using.
*EDIT: By relatively cheap, i mean something like $1 per pencil. Nothing really. I forgot to add, but what i say in this post, is the way i work. A lot of people may work with one pencil, but there's a lot of us who use multiple pencils for different jobs. If you don't like switching, or you feel you can achieve all you want to with a single pencil, then go for it.
my drawings were made with a very blunt HB, i concetrated more at finding a sharp side then on drawing <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
i realy like that "grounded" thing... i must try it when i get some more time, and a drawn body for the grounded leg XD
