ART POSTING
(Subject not going through....Third time's the charm...??)
Art stuff thread starting...NOW! If you draw stuff, you can post it here! I draw in a sort of anime/manga/toon style, but if you don't, don't let that stop you from posting your stuff! I would love to see other people's art so post away! They can be OCs, fan art, or just random stuff. You can use any media, including digital, like I do! Just to let you chatterboxers know, I started this thread so we can share our tricks of the trade with each other. Feel free to: ask questions about how to draw certain things, post techniques, share art, and mostly HAVE FUN! If you draw your OCs, feel free to share information about them such as their names and that sort of thing. Same goes for fan art since not all of us know where these characters are from. You don't have to be polished with your art. I myself am just a beginner at anime/manga/toon. I'm not good at hands so if any of my hands looks particularly cruddy, you know why. I also struggle sometimes with feet so same goes for that. If any of you know how to draw a particularly good hand or foot, feel free to share your trick for it.
Going to post a picture of my OC, Tuxedo, if this post goes through okay.

50's! Vintage! Ahhhh!!!!! Those are great! I love your style; it's unique, and it's cool that you developed it yourself. You definitely do not suck!

I like vintage fashion, too! I think the one from the 20's is my favorite. I agree with Bluebird; you definitely do not suck as an artist! These are great!
P.S.: I love your username!

Those are really nice! I especially like the shading in the hair!

Awesome! Luv the '50s girl!
(June 10, 2016 - 7:59 am)
ahhh thank you all! I'm rather nervous about sharing my art so it means a lot. ^_^
Bluebird and Lap R.: Yay! I always like meeting (or messaging, in this case) people who like vintage as much as I do. And it's always nice to hear that I don't suck. :D You guys rock.
(P.S., Lap: I got my username from the song "Arabella" by the Arctic Monkeys. Awesome song. Not saying you should go listen to it...but you should go listen to it. :D )
HAB: Thank you! That kind of shading looked sort of intimidating at first but it really turned out to be simpler than I thought, which was good!
Cho: Thanks! The '50s girl was fun to draw.

I'm not much of an artist, but I do like to draw on scrap pieces of paper sometimes. Here are a couple drawings I've made recently.

Do you guys have any suggestions on how I can improve? I taught myself by looking over Cloudy Dweller's shoulder for a year and a half (ex. "Hey, is that Hamlet?" "No it's not Hamlet." "But I see the skull!!!" "It's a basket of flowers." "Can it be a skull?" "No!" "Well is it Hamlet?" "No, it's a girl.")

Wow, Rose Bud! I especially like the perspective on the second one! For some reason I can't see the third one, but I'm sure it's just as good as the other ones. By the way, here are some tips for drawing:
> Get a book or read an internet article on it.
> If you can't find a picture of the pose you want to draw, take a picture of yourself or someone else in the position you want.
> Practice makes better! (There's no such thing as perfection.)
Maybe other CBers will chime in with their own advice.
PS: The story with the basket of flowers vs Hamlet made me laugh! XD
PPS: Sorry this is so late; it's just that I've been real busy lately.

If you're not ready to get a book, then the altenative is to look at other people's drawings and how they use shading. In other words, look at the contrast between light and dark shading to give the illusion of depth. Here's a tip for noticing contrast: look at a realistic drawing and squint your eyes. It may sound crazy, but it helps you see the contrast better.
(In Bluebird's recent portrait, for example, look at the shading on the nose and cheeks.)

Bluebird, I love the portrait! It's amazing! And my mouths always look darker because I've erased them so many times ;)
