there you go. ^_^

Alrighty, I'm a decent artist, so I thought I'd post some of my stuff. I can draw alright on my own, but my pictures are much better when I have a reference pic to look at. I can't do computer colouring, so all my pics are either pencil or pencil crayon, and some of the lighter shading disappears when I scan the pics.


Alucard from Hellsing!

This is a pic of one of my RP characters.

I know I need to work on people, especially their faces and hands. And for some reason I suck at drawing guys. I guess I just need to practise more.

Feh, everything is great. I can't draw clothes as well... The folds and the shading and the texture... It just doesn't come to me easily. And I need to work on hands as well, so you're not alone.

Anyways, I loveses them all!! And I adore the Alucard pic! Is that the one where him and the psycho priest dude battle it out for the first time? I loved that part!! *sqee* :groupwave

[black_dragon]

Yep! Psycho-preist would be Anderson. I love that part too, I just had to draw something from it! Though i can do clothes fairly well, I still like your faces better, so we're even!


This is the other Alucard pic I've drawn,

And here's the pic I was talking about, the only guy I ever drew from my imagination that doesn't look completely horrible.

He's just a character that I made up, and I drew this maybe a year ago. It's obviously not finished, and his jacket collar looks horrible, but I only just figured out how to draw collars in a way that looks more realistic. Your guys are better, so there! :rolleyes:

You're pretty good with shading!!! I applaud your efforts!

[black_dragon]

Thank you! :D It's true, my pictures don't look too good without any shading. I just wish I could colour them on the computer! I usually just shade with a normal mechanical pencil.

Blue-eyes ultimate dragon. The shading took forever!

if you ever take art in college, just wait for spending four, four hour classes on a work of art and sometimes more where you have to draw every single thing and shade everything as well. boring as all hell o_o;;....lol...

[black_dragon]

Yeah, that doesn't sound too fun. I take art, but I'm only in high school, so it's pretty lenient, and a lot of the people are still learning the basics. The blue-eyes picture took longer because it was smudgemed to death by the time I finished the shading, so then I had to go in with the eraser and then redo a bit of the shading.


Kratos from Tales of symphonia.

that is an excellent picture, ive seen alot of ToS fan art and this is easily in the top 5

[black_dragon]

Thanks, but I don't know about top five.


Presea in her formal outfit, also from tales.

[Amazon_Goddess]

Wow! I really don't think you get enough credit! Your artworks great, most of all I like the shading. I think you have a little bit to work on from the pics that you free-handed, like the proportions, but your shading is spectacular! I think I've learned a bit from seeing your art

[black_dragon]

Thank you! I know I have to work on my freehand drawings, but when I do look at a picture I usually still do the shading on my own. At least I have something going for me, anyways.


This is just something I started doodling in math class, but I liked how it was turning out, so I decided to shade it.
