Description Poor Sokka. No one can every truly understand his pain.

And yes. They are having a sleepover.

EDIT: Fixed the skin tones. Not perfect of course, but hopefully better.

I know the perspective sucks. But here's the thing. I've never taken an art class past the required middle school art classes. I've never been taught how to do perspective. If you want to take the time out of your day to show me how to fix the perspective, great. I welcome that. But please don't tell me it's wrong without telling me how to fix it.

I believe the actual quote is this:

Sokka: My girlfriend turned into the moon.
Zuko: That's rough, buddy.

But nice drawing!

Yeah, I guess. I mean if you're just drawing another picture, you don't even need to do that. I certainly don't claim any rights to the idea... :)

Teehee sokka and zuko sleepover!!

The skin tones are definately much better
The perspective isn't that bad at all... Especially for someone who never learned perspective..


Here's a perspective lesson:
With perspective, the easiest way to do it is:

1. Before you begin the drawing, decide on the perspective point. This is the point in which everything is angled towards, so it looks as though it has distance and a sort of 3-D look. The perspective point has to be nice and clear, so you can see it later. For a beginner, it's best to try with the point in the middle. As you get better at perspective drawing, you can put the point to the side-ish (like in this picture).

2. Draw the points, outline and/or basic shapes of the picture. By basic shapes, I mean (for example), If you're drawing a bed, it is basically a rectangle. The basic shape is like an outline of the shape, so the bed's basic shape will be a rectangle/parallelogram with the four corners at the bottom of the lower bed posts, and the top of the headboard bed posts. (If you're unsure, (perhaps with the characters/people) just draw a rectangle/parallelogram around the place where you'll draw the object) Get it? I know, It's confusing without drawing it to show you... (I might just do that... Make a "guide to perspective drawing" )

NOW HERE'S THE IMPORTANT PART...

3. Still see that "perspective point"? Once you've drawn all the basic shapes of the pictures in the scene, Use a ruler and a very light pencil/shade. Draw a line from the point of you're basic shape all the way to the perspective point. This is called the 'Running line'. Do this with ALL the corners/sides of all the Basic shapes.

HERE'S THE OTHER IMPORTANT PART...

4. So now you've got a bunch of random shapes with lines all going to the perspective point. Well now, you get to draw the objects, people, etc. If you're drawing the bed, the running lines show you the angle of all the 3-D sides. This will give you're drawings "distance" and Perspective.

5. You can do the same with the background, making the shapes (in this case, walls) angle toward the perspective point *MAKE SURE THAT YOU DONT MAKE THE WHOLE BASE OF THE WALL POINT TO THE PERSPECTIVE POINT, OR ELSE THE FLOOR WILL LOOK LIKE IT'S AT AN ANGLE, AND IT WILL LOOK WEIRD!*

6. Once you finish all that, you can erase your running lines. Now you can colour and/or scan it and colour on PS or something.


If you want it to look even MORE 3-D-ish, then you can do shading. I'll make a thing on "how to draw perspectives" and "how to draw shading"

please do not copy this information and call it your own. I will make a guide thing for others and use this information.

The perspective isn't that bad. It's just a simple little cartoon.
