I can't see anything wrong with it. strange to see something that would normally bright and cheerful, Rainbow Wings, as sorrowful and downcast. the downcast setting also helps with the...somber...mood.

I did, I was horrified. That was my best drawing ever, & it was the 1st time I'd tried an hybrid.

one of the best things about drawing is that you can learn from happy accidents

the problem with drawing on the computer, is that it's too restricting if you don't have a tablet, and a decent program. but that's not too bad.

i'd say practice more with pencil and paper

Teraunce In reply to apox0n [2008-12-11 23:05:37 +0000 UTC]

the problem with that is that that is harder to erase...and i then become a horrible sketch person, and my comp refuses to recognize my scanner.

hmm... the don't make mistakes? lol. nah, i've kinda forgotten what it's like to draw with pencil. i tend to use ink for most of my stuff but at least you can erase. i'd suggest getting a white eraser, if you don't already have one. and also drawing very lightly, until you get what you want. then the lines aren't ground into the page.

scanners eat things anyway. i don't scan most of the stuff i draw by hand. it always looks so much better in real life

actually i am a rather good abstract B&W artist. The whole scene is made up of a single line that does whirls, and loops, & other stuff, but never touches itself.

This is really incredible work Zero, very impressive. I love the colors and the details, the feathers and fur are incredible. This is a very strange scene, but very emotional, wonderful work with the lighting and the overall tone.

Do you mind if I feature this on [link] ?
(I'll link to the SheezyArt version if you don't mind, because there are currently already (too) much dA art being featured in my opinion...)

Anyway: wow! ^^

in a way i'd rather DA, over SA, just because i'm getting really tired of SA for some reason, and i'm considering being more active here... somehow ._.

Weeell, I can! HAH! lol, alright - I do like this picture ALOT (the expression, the colourfull wings and the way he stands)

BUT

well, his left hand looks a little awkward, no doubt, it is a great piece - it just looks sorta funny with all those fingernails and stuff pretruding through his, ehhh... nvm.

no worries. if i ask for critique, i'm not about to bite someone's head off for it, if it's constructive

i agree, actually. although i'm not positive on how to fix it. i'll just have to be more careful and pay more attention the next time i try something like that ^_^

yeah, I see the problem now, both the hands are resting on each other, which in turn are resting on the handle, you could've made the right-hand as a fist, while the other one an open-palm..?

i think i might try that for next time. it'd probably be easier to distinguish the two hands that way XD
