St.Viers art thread

[St. Viers]

Yeah, I used to draw some, and recently I got encouraged to get into art again ^ _^

Thought I'd help raise the art : sig shop ratio some, and maybe get some comments/ critique on my art ^_^

Recent Art

A WIP* the actual inking is simply the face and kerchief

A stylized loon--first non digital piece in awhile

A WIP, drawn for a friend--I'll finish coloring it eventually

For this weeks DWYP contest: Jigg'z hair, plus his misunderstood nature made me think of this
__
Old Art That's better than it should be

The only charcoal drawing I've done that I don't hate...no outlines, just tones

A goblin >_>

part of a mural I helped paint

first drawing I ever thought was good--just as a point of reference--from like 05

Sprites

My first decent sprite

Only animation I've made--****'s too hard XD

If I tried, I couldn't redo this--I've let it all slip away >_<

The sprites look bette if you right-click->view image--dunno why

 

[istudying]

They all look awesome, cant wait till u do the coloring.

 

[kiefsgirl_haha]

i love the first one and the last three

(the other ones were good two)

 

[Denzi]

All I could think when I saw the animation was, "Counter balance the knife, quick slash, retract."

I thought the shoe was pretty dang good.

Nice stuff overall.

^^thanks people. I just found my tablet pen (I'm kinda forgetful), but I'll keep working (slowly) on these XD.

For the record, tablets make drawing so much easier--with paper, I waste a sketch book working one maybe 2-3 pictures, where digitally I can just erase, redraw XD

 

[DRD]

Hey viers, I see you is can do the arts

I can art too


But in all seriousness
If you want to get better at anything art-related; draw from life. The boot was what impressed me the most

I could give you the huge art rant/generaltutorial thing I usually give people
but I don't think you'd want to read it

 

[St. Viers]

@DRD: I give that talk myself, so I know what you're going to say =P I'm just not that doing at drawing from references--hence the messed upness of the first dudes left arm, and the manga-style of the chick. (The shoe's my favorite thing as well).

I'd be interested in reading your rant though...

anywho, a few updates:

A bit more finished, but really slow work

Almost done with this, but I know once I *finish*, I'm just going to redo it better from scratch...

 

[BubbleTea]

the sprites are awesome, and the black and white shoe drawing is really nice.
There is something I don't like about how you drew the angle of the shoe in the pic with the girl sitting by the tree though but you probably know that. Like, maybe if her knee was bent up more it would make more sense?

 

[St. Viers]

*bump*

new thing I'm aworking on. Critique on hand position/anatomy would be excellent, as I have little experience drawing them >_>

 

[Spire]

Dude, that boot. As much as I may loathe life drawings from years of classes in high school, I'll always appreciate 'em. Great work, and I commend you on your pre-rendering anatomical composition as seen above^.
