Da, numa ca-i cam greu de facut asa ceva cu creionu. Problema ii ca eu as tot intinde culoarea peste partile albe, ar trebui sa sterg iar, iar as mazgali etc. Prefer sa fac asa ceva cu pixu

hello there
you picked , 10 and tails. that means that you will receive a comment regarding the technique used on your tenth deviation, counting from your oldest.

well, for a pencil drawing, i do suggest you use a B type pencil next time, probably a B12 or something, because it's darker and it allows you to heighten the contrast between the shadows and the highlighted areas, such as her face. also, a blending pencil would work well, helping you give the sky a smoother look (i do believe you tried smudging the pencil strokes with a paper or something, but they are still visible). i like the way you did the stars, though i can't put my finger on how you did it. did you use an eraser?

(yeah, i know your technique changed since then, don't point that out )

I'm quite sure I was using my beloved B2 here (12?! you were kidding, right? B8 basically melts in your hands if you hold it for too long). I can't quite remember how I did the stars, but by the looks of it (they're more gray than white), they were probably erased.

As vrea sa mai pot face desene de astea in creion o_O Cateodata am impresia ca nu evoluez numai, mai dau si inapoi. Acuma n-as mai putea face asta, for some reason.

a B8 melts in your hands? what the heck are you, woman, a magma elemental?
i found a B12 once intr-o librarie din Iasi, it's really cool. seamana oarecum cu carbunele dar nu se sterhge, even though it's soft si nu zgarie hartia. si nici nu se toceste dupa cateva mazgaleli
you should give it a try. am ajuns la concluzia ca new pencils and watercolors actually make you draw better. dunno, poate e ideea ca with new, better tools you will get better results.

Speaking of new tools, mi-am luat tuş si o fost dragoste la prima folosire Pe langa faptu ca poti si sa conturezi da si sa pictezi cu el, ii mult mai elegant decat acuarelele, fiind mai lichid nu se vad tusele cand nu vrei si se usca mult mai repede. Si culoarea aia sepia ii excelenta. De cand il folosesc parca s-o deblocat ceva in creativitatea mea, si m-am apucat sa termin o multime de desene, care nici macar nu-s in tus, pe langa faptu ca am facut altele noi. SO many possibilities! Recomand calduros

de unde l-ai luat?
si in cate culori e? does it have light green?
ma tenteaza sa imi iau unul, dar nu acum. ma gandeam sa pornesc on an epic quest prin Cluj ca sa gasesc masking fluid. trebuie sa fie undeva

GreenSprite In reply to Lumysaara [2009-06-28 17:18:39 +0000 UTC]

de la rembrandt, este negru, maro (), rosu, alb, galben, verde si albastru. 2,5 lei calimara, it's pretty small da cred ca tine suficient. Eu cred ca aici ar trebui sa aiba si masking fluid, da nu stiu cum ii zice

Lumysaara In reply to GreenSprite [2009-06-28 17:48:46 +0000 UTC]

nici eu, dar ma gandesc ca nu e made in Romania deci o sa scrie "masking fluid" pe el. no point asking the girl there, i'm sure she wouldn't know. anyway, daca ajungi pe la Rembrandt inaintea mea let me know

GreenSprite In reply to Mantisss [2006-05-22 10:05:26 +0000 UTC]

well, this particular one is real pencil, that's why it looks halfway good i'm not that great at CG either, but the good news is that it's actually easier to learn than traditional art. especially photoshop has all kinds of effects and tweaks that do the job, if you know which of them to use

harpys are supposed to be so ugly and foul, that a normal human would be unable to procreate a hole month after seeing one. That being typed either I'm not a normal human or that's not a normal harpy.
Other than that the drawing is great...love the snowing effect.

pai mai ai vreme. o sa te duci tu la ceva profesori de la anu... da pana una alta pune mana si ia-ti niste creioane de la H la B6 si deseneaza tot ce vezi in jur(de preferinta obiecte si spatii, nu persoane) cat mai exact si mai rapid. fa muuulte schite, exerseaza-ti mana. ca dupa aia o sa te indoctrineze cu desen tehnic si alea alea da tre sa desenezi bine intai.

Aww, I love the pose and the pillars, they look like egyptian. Wings are brilliant. Bacround could be darker, I know many people have already said it. ^^ And to be honest, I'm really lazy with bacrounds, so I shouldn't say anything.

nemo-ramjet [2006-01-07 17:03:50 +0000 UTC]

is she in the orient? Those column capitals look very middle-eastern...maybe guarding the crusaders?

stylistically speaking, the crosshatching in the background is very cool, but in some places it dilutes the importance of the central figure...maybe some smudging can help?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

GreenSprite In reply to nemo-ramjet [2006-01-07 18:07:12 +0000 UTC]

it wasn't meant to be cross-hatching, it's just me being too lazy to colour the sky even. my hand really hurt. i don't think i'm going to change this one anymore, but i've certainly learned my lesson. i'll never get lazy with backgrounds again, too many people have complained about it.
as for the capitels... hmm i don't know, i was thinking something egyptian, but it's irrelevant anyway since she's in some fantasy world... where harpies exist ^_^

Her face is gourgeous and I like the down section white and, most of all, I just love those pillars. Sensitive drawing lines *grinnie*.
