Description Well, it started out as a simple mechanical pencil sketch and morphed into this... Need to darken a few spots a little bit more, but I'm too tired right now. I ended up using a full range of pencils to finish it.

Anyway, this is the turian council member and here is the picture that I drew from:

this guy is such a jerk, I cant help but think he wants to "dismiss" everything in the universe he percieves as a threat. Like hes just got bit by a fly and hes like "ah yes 'flys!' The flying race of insects that feed on the blood of those bigger than it. We have dismissed that claim."

I saw the link on the Garrus Fanclub on Bioware Forum . . .

"AH YES, "BAD PENCIL DRAWING", which they think they can't use digital art and only use pencil."

I have to dismiss that claim. I am awed . . .

Awesome sketch Faerlyte, the level of detail and shading is impressive, nice to see some hand drawn stuff here. I can't draw turians, scratch that, I can't draw (Buggirl is sad at her lame efforts...needs Garrus hugs, STAT!)

Faerlyte In reply to Buggirl70 [2010-09-12 07:38:19 +0000 UTC]

Well thanks, . I can't do anything BUT hand draw really. It's kind of demoralizing because all the digital work looks so much cleaner and spiffier than my stuff, and no matter what I do it doesn't seem to make a difference.

I don't like to hear people say they can't do something though! If I were a better artist, I'd draw a Garrus hug specially for you.

A little practice and I bet you could draw turians though, .

Oh thankyou Faerlyte! I've been practicing some real drawing, but I think I need lessons, I even bought a drawing tablet for my PC, but it's very different from using pencil thats for sure!

Faerlyte In reply to Buggirl70 [2010-09-16 09:26:47 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome, . It helps just to pick random objects and practice drawing them. Or pictures of people in magazines/newspapers, etc. If you can find someone to be a willing model, if just for a short time, it will help a lot with anatomy and proportion. I've taken a couple art classes and ultimately they were very helpful because you're drawing all the time, but it is something you can do on your own too. I'm fortunate that my mom is also an artist and can give me tips now on then on what I'm doing wrong, and for that it's good to have input, but I'm still a firm believer in your own power, . I bet with a little practice and discipline, studying different shapes and practicing shading, that you'd be just fine.

I've always wanted to try a tablet, just to see what it's like. I can imagine it would be very different. It's just there are so many things I like to do, so many interests, that learning to draw using a tablet on a pc with art programs that are so complex as to make my head spin - I don't think I've got the energy for it. Especially when I already know how to draw with pencil, if not as refined as more experienced artists. It makes me happy though.

Yikes, sorry for the long reply. I got carried away I guess, haha.

Ah yes, "art", the form of expressing ideas on using creativity and paper.

Ah we have dismissed that claim.

That he most certainly does, haha. He's a bit of a snob. Unfortunately, he's also kind of a moron, but I'll forgive him since he makes such a nice model to draw, .

Thanks for the stopping by!

Well thank you, .

I think I must have gotten lucky, haha. It started out as a quick sketch and all of a sudden, boom, there it was. I couldn't believe it.

Sometimes it goes smoothly, and sometimes the process is simply agonizing, but you can do it! I believe in you, .

Well, I definitely am gonna try. I needa a picture of Saren hanging in my room. XD

But I'm happy with the Salarian I have for now. Whee!

Yep, I know how it goes. Don't you hate when something seems so simply at one time then is impossible to draw another? Although, it's more like, I end up annoyed with my characters i not wanting to make themselves known. Gah!

Faerlyte In reply to derelianraven [2008-09-27 07:46:39 +0000 UTC]

Saren would be a good one to do. I'll have to try him once too - I haven't done much drawing lately, .

Oh gosh yes, that is so annoying. It's like you have a perfect picture in your head (or sitting right in front of you) and every time you try to put it on paper it all comes apart at the seams. Absolutely infuriating - makes you never want to pick up a pencil again sometimes. It sure is satisfying in the rare moments that one is successful though, . It's what keeps us reaching back for that pencil when all seems lost I guess, haha.

I draw here and there. Mostly working on drawing the characters of a novel I'm TRYING to write, but the characters are being stubborn, both in the drawings and for the story, so I'm having a tough time. Gah. But . . . I did get the hot guy in my story XD to finally make his image known to me and that made me happy (oh . . . I have drawings of him in my gallery; the swordmaster that keeps popping up). But what I really like is how I've been wondering what his mother looks like and drew her lately and well . . . let's just say she dies when he was young and now . . . I DON'T WANT HER TO DIE!!! WAH!!!

But . . . yea, things like this make my work so difficult, with drawing and writing. Gah.

You know . . . I can't believe I actually gave up on drawing for a few months once. Oyi! Glad I'm back into it, no matter how problematic my artwork wants to be.

Faerlyte In reply to derelianraven [2008-11-10 00:06:39 +0000 UTC]

Hey, that sounds just like me, haha. Drawing characters for a novel I'm trying to write (unsuccessfully at the moment). That's awesome.

It does make work difficult. I draw here and there. I like to write and I play music too though, so juggling them all with life is stressful. I tend to concentrate on one thing, then switch to something else depending on my mood, but that usually means that I'm neglecting one thing or another for a lengthy time. So, I'll go a month without drawing because I've been writing. Music labors the most though...I hardly play anymore.

But anyhow, no matter how problematic art is, the end results can be so gratifying, . I'm glad you're back into it too, and good luck with the writing!

Well, you know what's nice now? the story's starting to come together, but what I find hilarious is i order for that to come about, I had to split up what I had planned for the first book in a duology. Well guess how many books the first got split into? 3! Wah!!! There's a lot too it and I keep adding stuff. My bad! But I'm just glad that i seems to b coming together now, though I'm scared because it's now planned with 4 books. I don't know if that's going to work out . . .

Yea, I do the same. Just recently I got my watercolor paints so I went on a painting craze. But I had a reading craze just before that and now I think I hit a writing craze my sketches are annoying me right now).

But yep, when you get to the end it does bring about a great satisfaction. Oh whee-ness to Kakasaku. Hehehe . . .
