Description



Okie doke. My first official sketch of these two...and the first time (actually the second, but that doesn't count ) I've truly drawn Robin. Not too shabby if I say so myself. Lots of room for improvement...and hopefully I'll fix it up before I get this inked and colored.

I swear, I love these two together...
It's about time that I've drawn something.

I'll probably have more to say once this is colored...in the meantime, enjoy, and tell me what you think.

**Edit**

Okay scratch that. I like this much better as a sketch, seeing as the colored version doesn't look very good at all. I'll skip that step altogether, even though I've inked it, so...this is it. Sorry all.

Thanks! It gave me some trouble at the time, but it was fun to get down on paper. Thanks for the fave too!

WOW! I'm loving this! It's really very well done (to my untrained albeit art-loving eye) and I gotta agree with you about loving them two together! I have a feeling you're going to be one of my favorite rob/rae artists!! *waggles finger*

I was all too worried about not being able to pull this off, because the idea in my mind was so vivid... I think I could've done better, but I still liked the end result. I had sucessfully drawn Robin and Raven together in one picture, despite my lack of experience with them and the pose, and it delights me to no end to hear you give me those compliments.

I have a long way to go, so hopefully I won't disappoint!

With such an auspicious beginning as this? How could you possibly disappoint! I think that nothing any artist puts down on paper is exactly what they envisioned in their head: it's the same for me with writing and I know other visual artists who think the same: it's just we are our own harshest critics usually, so we're never going to be fully satisfied with what we put out: I know everytime I read a peice of my writing, I always find a dozen flaws with it that I didn't find the last time I read it. (when I found a dozen different flaws) so eventually, I just have to stop myself and put it out there and say, "here! take it! Before I change my mind and tear it up as junk!"

Goodness, writing is a serious offender for me... I mean, just take a look at what I posted. I'd really love to hear your opinion on it. ...It may take a week, it may take a few days...sooner or later I'll find a mistake and that'll nearly ruin it for me (or at least make me want to seriously "fix" it).

...But hear hear! I know exactly what you're talking about...


I still need to finish this, too...

I can't wait to get a chance to go through the new stuff you've posted! I'm licking my lips in anticipation! And I totally know what you mean about looking at things over and over again before you feel good about releasing it for public consumption: I mean, I'm better now that I have a beta, so to speak, both a grammar/structure beta and an overall feel beta, but I still go over the darn thing a dozen times before I send it to the beta!

Thanks for the wonderful complement!

I'm getting around to it...since now is the holiday season, I hope I get that extra needed boost of inspiration. I hopefully won't screw it up, but I do plan on changing it up a little. ...Maybe add some effects, etc. In other words, I'll blatantly abuse the properties of Photoshop for my own amusement.

Thankies.

I'm going to try and keep the same feel of the picture when I ink it and color it, but it usually never stays the same I'm afraid...

Awwwwww! Too. Flippin'. Cute.

You know, I'm not regretting the English homeowkr I'm neglecting that's due tomorrow. Because this is AWESOME.

I'm totally digging Robin's hair. I like your soft, feathery strokes. Creates a very delicate feel. Gah, you even draw noses well! And there's asomewhat shading, which is /very/ nice. And I love Raven and Robin's expression. Seriously. Amazing.

Instant fav. ^^

Ah, that makes me happy to hear you say that. My poor ego is going to pop if I get more compliments like yours... I was so worried that I'd horribly scar poor Robin for life, and actually haven't draw him since this...

I love his hair too. I didn't want to screw up a detail like that. ...And shading? I'm not too good at it, I'm afraid. That's why I always pop stuff onto photoshop. Lord, back when I used MS Paint...I didn't know what I was missing...

Meh. I'm trying to write my essay right now, and failing. I really want to draw some more... I actually have quite a few ideas for some more RxR art...I'll get right to it after my writer's block wears off. ...And then I'll try and finish this one too. It's rather close to my heart because I don't do very many pictures with characters actually interacting.

...And need I mention my inability to draw men properly again?

Okay, enough complaining... I'm really happy that you liked it. Thanks for the fav, and I can't wait until your fic is posted!

Many, many thanks. I still have a lot of practicing to do... I'm afraid that I'm not really that good at drawing guys...Robin was lucky this time around, but in the near future? ...Only time will tell.
