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.

Lovely idea! The tree looks very well drawn! Unfortunately, I can't really read the words on the tree because... well, it's kind of hard to read anything taken with a camera when it's that size. I can read the words "compassion" and "tears" but that's about it. Nice, though!

So I did a challenge I saw that I had to draw one of my ocs in thirty minutes or less. Here's the outcome: (I didn't have to do full body and I decided to do it sorta anime.)

That's quite lovely, actually, l've wanted to draw anime for a long time but never learned how.

Thanks! I'll post another if you'd like. A better one, since this one was a quick draw. I just copied a pic from the Internet. That's how I learn to draw anything lol.

I mean I copied a pic from the Internet to learn how to draw anime. Not how to draw that pic. Sorry for the confuzzlement!

Nice, Ember! Pretty impressive for something drawn in 30 minutes. For me, there's always fussing over guidelines and that usually takes twenty five minutes or so, just to get the pose right, and not to mention coloring. I love how the eyes are drawn! They're very expressive!

Thanks! Yea, I'm usually like that too! The eyes were surprisingly really easy, which is unusual for me.

Ps. I love your age field!

This is super cool! I love your style and how you color things. Do you have any tips?

I know that this is Julian2 because my sister NEVER stops talking about Aparri and Wisteria Moon and all those other famous jammers. She absolutely loves all of the AJ art on here.

Sure!  Though really I should be asking you for tips;) how do you get your legs and arms to look to so perfect?  Like so bendy and real?   And then your hair, and your eyes and-- OK I'm gonna stop now:P

For the colors I mainly just fill in the area with the color I want then go over the edges again.   Then go over my outline.   That's pretty much it:P

Thank you! Umm... tips about drawing people... let's see... First, I would recommend picking up a book on anatomy or studying it on google. Drawing realistic arms/legs/hands first will help you if your style is more cartoony, because once you get the hang of it realistically then your own style will evolve or whatever. Study other people's art, and use references or real life to draw, it makes things a lot easier :) There are a lot of anatomy tutorials out there you can watch if you want.

Cute, Abigail! I love the pose and the outfit! Those jeans look like something I would wear. XD And yes, three cheers for digital art! Makes erasing guidelines simple and easy, and has layers! Oh, and the fill tool.
