Sketches of Mine

[Sahra]

Hello everybody! I've decided to post some pictures I've made here. These are my interperatations of Laanx. Just got some inspiration a few nights ago and I just ended up doing the drawings.  Sorry they aren't that great.

Great expressions!  Have you tried working with pencil then switching over to pen? Makes it alot easier to erase faulties in your. Then there is the computer with which you can edit furthermore. If you don't have Photoshop then i'd advice you get GIMP.

Also, hair looks great when it's more detailed. The best thing to do that is adding it in the computer.

Keep working, I see you've already got a good base :]

thanks a lot for the suggestioons/comments!  Unfortunately I don't have Photoshop. I probably wouldn't even klnow how to use it! 
as for details I've kind of never really had any lessons, so I'm kind of just doing this as i go.  Sorry. Thanks for the message though! It makes me feel as though my sketches are actually liked (not really  ). Wish I could have art lessons though!

You can always use the open source alternative: www.gimp.org

[Sahra]

thank you miadon! I am not allowed to use GIMP though  . Rules of parents. 

[miadon]

wth? you have a rule not to install the GIMP?? o.O

[Nikodemus]

thank you miadon! I am not allowed to use GIMP though  . Rules of parents. 

Thast a good one!
What does the rule exactly say and why it say so, if i may ask?
really, um, gah xD just lol

looks good mate

gimp is useful...and yeah it has got a strange name, but hey

[Sahra]

thankyou! I have a rule of not using GIMP becuase I might get a virus. My computer won't let me go to a site that it detects atleast 3 or more viruses on it  . anyways thnks! i have another picture by the way. (heeheehee) I did this today in about 20 minutes. I did try to fix it up a little bit via hp-whatever  . Anyways I heard about the game having riding animals. Since the ones they have all seem like they are flying-type animals, I got a REALLY freaked up image in my head. I'm sorry to say that it turned out better than i had imagined (j/k ) I'm sorry but I just HAD to draw it!  I have dubbed it a "Bamble", but I might change the name...suggestions are welcome/appreciated!

The GIMP website, nor software, has no viruses

[Sahra]

hmmmm..... I'm going to try editing some with my pics on the computer. I think I'll go try to fix my first 2 pictures

I guess its just a case of uneducated parents. Why don't you ask them to take a look at the website? I'm sure they'd like to see your art expand and if you explain that GIMP will help, how can they say no . What you've done so far is great and makes me want to attack a sketch pad myself... inspiring is the word.

wow i just keep getting spoiled today with good comments!  thanks sooooo much everybody! schoolhas finals coming up so ya-    anyways 

i might be drawing more to relieve stress (it helps me ) as for telling my parents I'll give that a shot later on tonight!

[Baldur]

Good job on the fur, Sahra :] So you're aiming more on content than lineart?(No pun towards Lineart artists, I assure you) Lovely... Start training on shades and shadows, the best thing is to look at shadows, alot. Include alot of strong shadows, try to work on shades and gradiating between dark and light.

That's all I can tell you right now, send me a PM if there's anymore questions you need answered.

In accordance to relative stress: Don't get used to it, just relax, don't think too much about what others want to see. :]

[Sahra]

thank you everybody! Actually today I found something interesting in a folder I never use anymore. In it I found what looked likke to be a cat. so I started drawing more onto it. I probably won't be able to post anything this weekened though (finals suck!). Anyways, come meet e in the game if you like! And i can assure you all that my drawings are not that great. But maybe they MIGHT eventually get better. Oh and I talked to my parents last night as well. They're going to send me to an art school this summer! I'm really happy!
