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.

Thank you!! From what I've seen, Bluebird, you draw really really well already!! But here's a few of my techniques.
In order to get all the shapes right, I drew a graph around the original picture and put little dots wherever the picture touched the box. Then, I lightly drew the same graph (with all the right measurements) on the paper and put the same dots there. Then I connected them. I don't know if you already know about that method already, but that definitely helped me get everything proportionate.
Also, sometimes I find that if I flit my eyes really quickly from the drawing to the original, then the key differences between the two pop out of me and I can adjust my drawing.
Originally, her face was really flat and too 2-dimensional, so I added darker shading to the sides of her face at my art teacher's suggestion.

That is AMAZING. You got her eyes exactly! Good job!

Oh... my.... goodness....
I actually thought that was a photograph for a second.
You are an AMAZING artist!

This is one of my proudest achievements. It's my first ever quilt. I made it for my mom, and each block is about something special to both of us, like travel, inside jokes, and stuff like that... it took WAYYYYY too long and could be quite frustrating at times, but I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out!!
I've been thinking a while about starting a thread on here like this one, but where people can post things that they've sewn, knit, crocheted, or embroidered or something. But I just don't know if that many people actually do stuff like that on here...
(January 6, 2017 - 5:34 pm)
Wow, that's so cool! I sew and knit!
(January 7, 2017 - 9:32 am)
This is incredible, Caroline! And I thought I could sew. Wow, this looks like it must've taken forever! I also think a sewing thread would be a good idea.

Thank you, Leeli and Bluebird!

Hope you don't mind me posting even though I haven't been on here in forever. Here's a pic I did for a fan fic of mine. (And no, it's not a ninja. I now realize it kinda looks like it... Oh well.)
(January 7, 2017 - 11:42 am)
That's cool!

Sorry for yet another random pic, but here's a drawing I did yesterday. If you hadn't noticed, I love drawing hair.
(January 7, 2017 - 11:46 am)
These are awesome, Ember! I love the pink haired girl- back view drawings are just really cool to me.
(January 8, 2017 - 8:28 am)
Thanks! It took about five colored pencils to get the color right. Yea, I like back view pics too
(January 8, 2017 - 10:55 am)
That's so cool, Ember! Hair is the best part of drawing! I like the mix of brown and pink in it. It looks just like when the hairdye is starting to fade and you can sort of see the natural color. Great job!
(January 8, 2017 - 10:31 am)
Thanks! Yea, I like experimenting with different mixes of colors.
