Great work Seperot. I would work your side perspective though. The one with the cool perspective is great, it doesn\'t have the big nose.

Not to be mean or anything, but this is what happens when you learn to use Photoshop before you learn to use a pencil.
I might note that when they say everything is composed of shapes, \'they\' are correct.  Try thinking spatially, picturing in your mind the object you are drawing.
That, and references are very nice.

Then again, I tend to spend 30-40 minutes in the preliminary stages of a drawing correcting proportions and shaping the initial work, so I\'m rather on the heavy end of the spectrum.
...and re-drawing eyes, noses, etc 3 or 4 times on occasion.

oh i dont disagree monky i dont at all... im still figuring out whats comfortable to me. i used to do paper drawings but i never liked how i couldent make things go away fast n stuff...so photoshopping is a way up for me....

but on a different point... a tablet pen is different to a mouse how?
anyways im now experimanting with using basic shapes to make an outline first see if that can give me more perspective

Drawing is all about preference. You cannot tell someone they are wrong, if what they are doing isn\'t your way.

I do sometimes, sketch art in paint, with a mouse. Randomly scribbling lines to form a shape, then working over and over from that, doing what I can to make a picture. Like this one.

alot of the things in this were unintentional, and just made through uncoincious thoughts. You can see things in the drawing that look unusal if not intentional. One being the lip scar. This was a style drawing.

As well as this one:

Personally, I like the style of his art. I think if he doesn\'t spend too, much time drawing a single thing he should try drawing more like it. Also if he has a passion for drawing, then he should get into the more technical styling. But if your only drawing passion is your own style, then someone shouldn\'t critize on it not being technically right.

To be technical about it, those swords wouldn\'t be good for cutting, the top one would break things more then cut them. The blade is heavy and curved wrong, then smaller one, the blade is too jagged and curved too far. To use such a weapon would take mastering a new, own style, perfectly designed for the use of the sword.

*buzzer sound* :P

While I\'d like to agree to an extent, I\'d also like to disagree. For example: learning to shade in black and white should definitely be first to color. Anatomy should be first to costume design. Perspective should be first to detail.

Unless of course an artist wants to scrap a realistic style and go for something more stylized, or abstract. But there are definitely first steps that must be taken before moving to something more advanced.

In Sep\'s defense, there are a ton of artists who aren\'t comfortable with pencil-paper drawing at all, and do amazing stuff with digital paintings. A tablet and a pencil are completely different things, no matter how similar they may be.

As for using basic shapes to get a handle on proportion: keep in mind that this works only if you are aware of vanishing points and their properties :) Basic shapes twist.

my drawings dont even get finished anymore, always screwed up ad thrown away... or closed if it be digital.

at least Sep has finished what he started and goes further to improve

[seperot]

wee comments aplenty... like i said at my first post...(if anyone did read it) i am still learning and have only been realy drawing alot in the last month so this is more of a progression chart as well as veiwng which was also to get comments on how to improve what im doing

[seperot]

i tryed that circal thing just on the face...i knida like it

[Keyaz]

just liek the real Sep, heads to big for his body... well i suppose its gotta hold his ego eh?


heh jokin ^^ or am i? :|



tis improving, definately better with color

i dont know why people say you shouldn\'t draw digital unless you know how, sometimes i find the amateur work like this better then thet CG work people like comic artist make. its fun!

[Noobis]

I love the big head small body it gives him a cartoonish character. Looks awesome!

Personally I wish I could find my own style like that. I don\'t really have a drawing style expect with my mouse it allows me a style.

But those drawings, if he can make something like a comic strip with it, that would be freaking awesome. They are cool, they are not eye straining to look at and they are interesting.

SCREW TRADITION! I say let all hell break loose and just do your own thing. BE A REAL ARTIST!

Love this new one

Noobis....most artists that go outside the box still know how to draw...look at picasso, he started out as a realist.

[Noobis]

Art is all a matter on ones perspective. I could draw a few lines on a piece of paper, if someone saw emotion and the piece spoke to them, and they in the same time ended up being a profession high credited art critic then I would be considered a \'Real\' artist.

Even if the piece to me ment nothing at all, I could make up a few lies about it.

But knowing how to draw in \'realism\' isn\'t actually a good way to consider yourself an artist. But being able to draw your perspective of realism is. To draw what is in your mind exactly the way you see it and want it, that is art.
