Drawing In Class

[mr.right]

I wanted to make a thread where we could post work done on notebook paper without being ashamed. I think that doodling in class is a great thing. I plan on dumping 5 sketches a day from my archive (stuff I drew in high school when I should've been taking notes) and work up to the stuff I draw in meetings now.

I hope others will reply. Again, this is work done on some sort of paper made for a different use (notebook paper, graph paper, legal pads, post-its, cardboard, etc) and prefereably art you did when you were supposed to be doing something else.

As you can see, I was really into the independent comic SCUD: THE DISPOSABLE ASSASSIN. Anyways...

It seems that the creative juices really get flowing in situations where your attention is supposed to be focused on something entirely unrelated to the masterpiece that unfolds in, around and in complete oppostion to margins on a sheet of paper. Hell, if drawing was forbidden during classes...I think I'd go nuts...

Anyway, to make some sort of point:

Just a small taste. (There is an entire section devoted to this very topic on my site...)

Seriously though, you should see my Sociology notes...or lack thereof.

Come on folks!

Don't let this one die already, I know just about everyone here draws when they should be doing something else...so WHERE ARE YOU AT?

Funny stuff shadow.

So, Zeb, where are you?:D Anyway, I just wanted to remind people that these are old, like, way old, the furthest one at the top was from high school.

I drew this one in Sociology because there was this cute girl I wanted to hit on and when I had finally gotten up the courage she stopped coming to class. She eventually came back and I got to hit on her, but, somehow, even though I used the word "date" and even though we were meeting in a public place, she thought it'd be okay to bring a date of her own. I've had a long history of girls named Rachel hating on me.

[Scarecrow]

last year in english I had a 3-subject notebook. i was supposed to have note in 2 and a journal in one. I completely used up the middle section (not like I was gonna take notes on romeo and juliet anyway) onece, i got my journal back from being graded. Big red ink, it said "why are there so many violent sketches where your JOURNAL should be?" good times... I hate shakespeare. I have no idea what happened to that notebook though or i'd post some pretty pictures.

[mr.right]

Awesome story SCARECROW; it's funny how looking back at these old sketches brings up such vivid memories you would've otherwise forgot (well, at least I find it as such).

5 mo'

These first two are from a phase I went through to get my creativity going. I was drawing way too many figures and not concentrating on anything else. As a way to think more abstract (which has helped me with my figures, by the way) I started drawing what I thought certian songs looked like:

One day my whole dorm was watching TV. A movie came on called WAXWORK where people were being killed in a wax museum. The wax was coming to life and stuff. Really bad, but nobody could leave for some reason. Instead we just started quoting the movie like it was comic genius -- "Ooh, that's GOTTA hurt!" -- so anyway, after it WAXWORK II came on and we were able to turn that off after 15 minutes. In its defense, the movies sucked, but made the sequel transition very well.

I thought this thread might've taken off by now. It doesn't matter really; I guess people are seeing this and using it however brains use images... All is right with the world.

These first two are based on comic characters I created (the comic should be up on my site within the next week, so if you don't see it, PM me and gripe). One day in Advertising I decided to draw chibi charactures of them.

Okay, 5 more. Today though, the sketches are very close to the sketches I'm doing in class now. The last one of this five was done last semester, so C+C appreciated. Of course, I'm not going to go back and re-work any of these... unless someone really thinks I should...

Anyway, I always like getting an ego boost, and love the cutting remarks as well.

Shadow: Those're way awesome! I just today started working smaller and more complex because of the sketches you put up. I like how thourough you are; I have'nt posted a good deal of sketches because they're so incomplete. It looks like you take an idea and really work with it. Cheers!

[Zeb]

Sorry, so sorry mr. right.

Exams and what not...college is a bitch!

Seems as though we all have that sociology problem , so I'm glad to see that it isn't just me.

Here's a batch of class sketches. And for some reason I feel the need to explain that I don't tend to do full drawings in class, I generally just quickly lay out ideas as they come to me. So, the reason why they look like quick sketches is becuase they are.

[Zeb]

That is a helarious pic right.

I didn't say I wanted to see the pic though, (i'm still glad you posted it!) I said that this thread could quickly turn into another "pretty girl thread." People posting "here is some girl in my class that i'd like to...<insert something here and no pun intended>...but i drew her instead"

Ok, it was late and I'm fried, OK. Hehe.

I love this thread though. I sometimes see people in some of my big lectures just doodling ( I hate that word) so the next class I'll sit behind and off to the side of them to get a look at what it is they "doodle" and most of the time I see silly faces, or their name in bubbly letters, or little hearts and stars and other misc. stuff, but this thread really shows the creativity that can come from boring classes (like sociology...rrr).

Anyway, sorry to drag on like that. I really like the pic of that girl, very funny!.

Oh, and shadow, those pngs take forever to load...atleast on my crappy dial-up they do. Damn cheap parents...rrr.

Later kids. Hehe.

Oh, and I did edit my post. Chopped out a huge chunk. Like I said...late night and sleepy.

Well, since i am usually doing notes while sketching, i really prefer bic ballpoint, as you get clean lines and they dont bleed as much. Good stuff everyone:)

[Zeb]

Ball point pen in any color or pencil, mostly mechanical pencils since they are what I carry in my bag. It really depends on what I grab first.

College ruled paper, or standard?

[mr.right]

Ballpoint. Blue. College ruled... but only for writing... I'll draw on anything.

Now that I think about it, I really wish I saved all those menus from resteraunts that I've eaten at and drawn in over the years. Would make for an interesting addition (I know the thread is called "Drawing in Class," but...you said it could be anything as long as it was drawn while you were supposed to be doing something else).

Not that big of a ATHF fan. Sometimes it's on and sometimes it's not.

There is definitely a difference in the quality of the most recent five pieces.

Still, way to keep it going.

...Just love drawing on walls...
...And not bathroom "art" either...

[mr.right]

Thanks Zeb, yeah, I started with pics from high school but now I'm posting things from this semester. It's not going to be easy to post 5 a day soon. I may just have to post one a day once school is out. (one more week!-- and I only have one final, BUT I pretty much have to produce one flash animation a day from now until Friday. :dead: )

Anyway, menu's definitely count! AND, if anyone is looking for a challenge then how about we draw people in our class that we don't like versus... Wolves. Whynot?

Yeah, classes are over for me in about three weeks. Two and a half I think. Then three finals. Halfway done college already. Time flies.

I'll have something up in an hour or so. I have to scan it and what not...and I'm not in the mood right now.

Here's the one from Friday that I never got around to posting.

http://www.zebzero.com/images/Notebook36.jpg

I've been trying to draw what I SEE, as compared to what I'm thinking.

Keep em coming.

[Leon]

hi,
it is amazing how much u have improve.
you can see bigger result if you draw it on blank paper.

also, it seems that you have stuck on level, now, try to advance yourself, reach the higher drawing level.

challange yourlse.f

[Zeb]

Leon, the point of this thread is to show work that was done on lined paper and preferably when you were supposed to be doing something else. We all know that unlined, drawing paper makes for a better sketch.

As for improving, who would you be directing that towards?
Myself?
mr.right?
shadow?

Laying a blanket statement like that when there are several posting artists is kind of pointless? And mentioning room for improvement, and a "higher drawing level" is sort of an assinine statement as well. For obvious reasons that there is ALWAYS room for improvement regardless of your current abilities and skill. Besides, this isn't Zen Buddhism.

Now that I've got that out of my system...

I know I have to improve, my class sketches are rather boring as compared to work by mr.right and shadow. And I don't feel that my skill really shows through in those works. It's more of a backwords look at the things I do. I still post here becuase it is worthwhile to bring forward your shortcomings and have a "forum" to compare even the smallest of sketches to help "improve" (as you put it).

Now, I may have just launched off the deep end here, and I'll make no excuses for that.

I'd like to see more people participating here though. Like I've said a bunch of times already, I KNOW MORE THAN JUST THE HANDFULL OF US DRAW WHEN THEY SHOULD'NT BE!!! So, let's see them.

Even though this is mr.right's thread, I'd still like to thank those who've participated so far and wholly encourage more people to contribute!

(This is the LONGEST post I've contributed so I might as well throw in an image right?!)

Sorry all, it was bound to happen -- I missed a day (actually two) between posts. I'm not going to be able to post very regularly this week. I've been up night and day animating. Check out my animations on my site and tell me what you think. Also, I've got a final friday and two scripts due. Pray for me.

Also, as it turns out, I cannot draw wolves. Expect to see pictures of people in my class being attacked by dog-looking-abominations. Or maybe petting them. An maybe in that way... just kidding. :mumble:

Thanks all for the laughing. And thanks mr.right for browsing through my page, be sure to tell all your friends!! I get 40 gigs of bandwidth and never come close to using it up...not even a scratch. I'll check out your animations sometime late this week.

As for the drawing wolves thing...I was thinking octopi might be a bit more comical...or some ill-mannered sea creature.

Good luck on the final and those scripts.

http://img9.photobucket.com/albums/v24/sticktac/File0052.jpg


ps. does anyone know how i can resize this other than by the way of photobucket? it makes drawings look uglier. i have photoshop 2:emb: baah....thats about it. i dunno ...does anyone know some other sites that resize pictures better? im doing only sketches nowadays...and the resizing ruins the pencil and makes it look different... anyone? suggestions?

[PeggyChung]

hey stacy, you're so right, i have that problem too. id like to know myself whats another site.

[mr.right]

Well, I haven't had much trouble re-sizing in photoshop.

Although, I work in advertising and have to manipulate photos and drawings all the time :mumble:

What you'll want to do is scan your images in with a high dpi (it you're taking pictures on a digital camera, you're just going to need a real good camera).

I scan my images in at 300 dpi, which is industry standard for poster-sized art (at least around here), and to post them online I change the dpi to 72.

If you're still having problems, try re-sizing the image by pixels; in photoshop--> Image: Image Size --> change the proportions of you photo by pixels (good rule of thumb, 350 pixels for the shortest side). IMPORTANT: make sure you are constraining proportions!

I don't have anything to post; just taking a break from animating. Working on the sound on one right now. Should have it up on my site tonight.

Later Days,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[Zeb]

stacy your work has a real nice characature feel to it, and that really pushes the helarity of both of those situations.

as for resizing, well, listen to mr.right, he does it all the time.

there are a bunch of methods to resizing, and constrain proportions is your friend.

Out.

[stacy]

did i kill the thread?:(
thanks zeb and thanks for the help mr.right
ill try that.....

hey this is probably not the right place to ask this...probably launch or something.....buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut does anyone know what the hell that thing is next to everyone's name? i think mine says Swordsman but it keeps changing...i understand the ones that say 'administrator' and crap... but...what...the hell......does mine stand for? can i change it?

[PeggyChung]

well the photbucket compresses it more than what you have resized it so it makes your drawing looking choppy whcih is what it does to mine too

the swordsman means how many posts you have made. it chances due to how many posts you have made ex: 250= x

500 posts = xx and so on. somewhere in the loungue you could search it up, there is a list of it. some people have custom ones because i dont know what. and pros get "professional" on theres.

[mr.right]

Please, do not even hint at that.... (I'm paranoid).

But seriously, I'm just hard at work on these animations for my presentation on Saturday. I'm working on the last one now, but don't expect a serious post from me (ie: one with drawings from class) until about Sunday.

edit: Also, I have no idea about how photobucket works -- I link to my personal site. Sorry.

edit again: Hey! Yesterday I was a SOLDIER and now I am a WARRIOR!

However, if everyone's chill, I've got screenshots from the last animation-->

Hmmm, it has been awhile since we've seen some content mr.right!!! hehe, and shadow, where are you?

Here are three more from today, the one I wanted to scan I forgot to, so that'll be up around Sunday night. (It goes with the people in class vs animals thing...only I went with the Octopi).

stacy: I've heard some good things about Irfranview (http://www.irfanview.com/) . Maybe you can use that to resize. Sorry I haven't used it personally.

Zeb: That fire is cool :D

[mr.right]

Alright! School is over except for three essays!

My professional review yesterday over my flash work went really well. In case ya'll are interested, they're all up on my site.

Anyway, here's 5 for ya': (sorry, today's pictures are rather large...)

This guy was hogging the discussion, and his opinions were stupid. Why do the stupid people always feel the need to talk the most?
http://www.right.demonicpillbug.com/pics/notebook/3_23s.jpg

As you can see, my wolves need work. Considerable work.
http://www.right.demonicpillbug.com/pics/notebook/3_24s.jpg

I was looking at the work of T. Ely. Simply incredible! I don't know if you can find things about him online, but the Harry Ransom Center here in Austin has a considerable collection of artist's books. And I'm talking original copies! There's nothing cooler than seeing a BOOK someone made and painted in BY HAND! Anyway, I was looking at his book and started to copy a panel when I was overtaken with an odd sense of creativity. Hence, this piece.

[mr.right]

Zeb: in the last post you made, the one with "heads", I actually liked the one you think is "crap" better than the "refinement". What makes you think it's crap? I liked the light on the hat and the bigger face. Also, your pen shading is enviable!

Stacy: Sorry for not welcoming you to the board sooner. I really like your work. So much "character" in your characters. I also like your loose pencil style. Are you using a regular no. 2?

Lady Lioness: I was expecting some wolves out of you... :D

Shadow: I'm getting red x's man. Is everything alright? You changing hosts? I really liked seeing your posts; I hope you give us more. Your sketches had a lot of work put into them.

[stacy]

hey again guys
mr. right: thankkk you....i ...um....didnt know i had a style...
and yea pencil no.2 only it doesnt show that well cuz of crappy photoshop
sir ron...thanks for the link...right now i cant dl anything cuz my dad's being an ass but ill keep that for later

i found it somewhere in the reference thread..then lost it...so i bsed the face
http://img9.photobucket.com/albums/v24/sticktac/File0058.jpg
heres....umm feebs thread..that i never finished regardless of if i had the guts to post it up there or not
bah. be assured this is NOT what it looks like in real life. photobucket sucks :(
http://img9.photobucket.com/albums/v24/sticktac/File0057.jpg
thaats....my dog
http://img9.photobucket.com/albums/v24/sticktac/File0059.jpg
and lastly....i was trying to learn face expressions...cuz my drawings were (and still are) totally monotonous
i was looking through the forums here and came upon i think branshax's or something pictures from amsterdam. they were so good i couldnt pass the opportunity....
i didnt finish it- my goal was to fill up the whole page so its still in the works but...whatever
sorry if anyone is on there i did NOT in any way mean to offend anyone it was just for excersize
http://img9.photobucket.com/albums/v24/sticktac/File0060.jpg
there are a couple more but i wont post them here
IF you were in the amsterdam photoshop and got your picture taken...dont bother looking for your face here cuz none of them look like the actual photos anyways

sorry for trashing your thread guys
:( :emb:

[stacy]

ah! gross! the prisma color guy looks soooo bad :(


oh yea...
mr. right: i really dig your last piece- cool stuff:cool:

EDIT
I FRIKKIN GOT IRFANVIEW!!!!
SIRRON YOU ROCK:D :cool:

[Zeb]

Ah, I don't get online for a couple days and people start contributing, well, it's about time.

I'm another year older, and yet feel no older. Twenty is definitely a strange age to be. One year short of legal gambling and drinking, but no longer a teen ager...strange feeling.

Anyway...the responses...hmmm.

stacy: you're not thrashing the thread, so no worries. we're happy for the contributions.

mr.right: I just find the "crap" version to be very ugly...and thanks for the props on my pen work...as you probably noticed the "Freehand Fantasy" pic on my site was also done all in Bic Pen...there is just something about the smooth feel of those cheap ass pens that works. School is just about over for me for the semester as well, and that leads me to a question, where do we go with this thread?

SirRon: thanks man, you'd probably laugh if I told you how long I've been drawing that same damn thing...YEARS! There, I said it...hehe.

I think that is all...I could be wrong. Sue me, or rather...don't.

Here are two new pics, the first is the one I mentioned Friday night and the second is something I'm working on for an Avatar. Enjoy!

i absolutely dig your loose style =D
theres nothn better than doodling during class

[PeggyChung]

Just for Zeb...crapness :D

http://img2.photobucket.com/albums/v11/ladylioness/Misc/scrib29.jpg

[mr.right]

Okay, so... who has the loosest style? Let's vote.

But seriously, Zeb, you bring up a good point:
Where does it go from here? I realize that there are still people in high school here and that there is still plenty of time for ya'll to do more work, but...
SUMMER!
It's upon us. So... do we just come back to this thread in the fall? Or do we make this a thread for notebook paper work? I don't know that I'm going to be doing much more work on notebook paper outside of school, so... I'm up for suggestions.

edit: my suggestion is to take the doodles we've done on notebook paper and make them serious works of art. And it doesn't have to be our own drawing from this thread... unless people don't want me touching their stuff...

My last three (tenatively). School's over for me.

Another wolf attempt. I was thinking... Steppenwolf?
http://www.right.demonicpillbug.com/pics/notebook/3_28s.jpg

stacy: what'd you do the colors with on the mohawk piece?

zeb: finally, the squid have landed!

lioness: If your wolf is crappy, what does that make my first wolf? I like your pic.

Will: welcome!

Later days,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[Ghostly_Visage]

This is definatly great stuff. And an awesome idea for a post. keep going, I want to see more.

[Zeb]

Jesus, I really need to stay more on top of this...damn Hamlet paper...rrr
Responses first:
LadyLioness: sweet pic, and I don't see why the wolf is so upset with little ol' me...hehe. Really, cool. Damnit, one thing bothers me though...why put "crapness"?
Will: funny pic, and welcome.
mr.right: man, your work rocks. So inspiring. As for the octopi (not squid...although they may seem squiddish), that girl just begged to be the victim of vicious oceanic creatures...hehe.

Gee, no one else? Damn.

Moving on. Where do we go? Honestly, I'm hoping this thread lives through our little hiatus' but I'm thinking that there should be a way that we can maintain the thread throughout summer "break." Hopefully people will continue to post and more and more people will join in on the fun.
I'm considering mr.right's idea to take this ideas we've been toying with during classes and pushing them further and it is actually rather surprising that he mentioned that today...creepy really for the following reason:
During Brit Lit I today we started Paradise Lost by Milton and I was inspired to do this drawing (that I may never do). We were going over Book I in which Satan falls from Heaven and I was struck with this image of how it would look if I were creating it. I did a few concepts in my notebook, but haven't scanned them yet, so be patient. Perhaps tomorrow.
Here's the overall layout though:
The page is seperated into two pieces, one being two-thirds of the page and the other, obviously, the remaining third. The top third contains three panels. One in the top right, one dead center, and the third at the bottom left. In the top right panel is Satan, falling and surrounded by fire (think Meteors) and still appearing like an angel. In the dead center panel he'll still be falling, but pieces of him will be burning off and his body will show initial signs of demonic tranformation. The bottom left panel will show him falling, but fully transformed into a demon. Finally, the bottom third will be one whole panel that shows Satan chained in the lake of fire in Hell.
Damn, that was a lot to type and probably a lot to read. Sorry, but it's been in my head ALL day. Expect the images tomorrow, and I'll try and crank out a few more as an added bonus.

Out.

*mr.right PM me or email me if you want to try and come up with something to take up Summer Break...

[WillSchnevel]

Thanks doodz.

I like the idea of taking our school doodles and turning them into summer masterpieces. Or something. :)

I wish all my doodles weren't all over the papers that I DON'T get back.:mad: I had quite a few totally caked in doodles. My teacher would have some stupid comment whenever I turned in an assignment.

[jamie]

Here's some of mine. This is my first picture post btw. I;m pretty new to CA.org and art overall, (been drawing just shy of a year). Anyway enjoy.

[Zeb]

Welcome, welcome.

Thanks for contibuting.

First and foremost, resizing is your friend!!! Those images are large and I'm not that avid a fan of scrolling, atleast not sideways...hehe.

Your work where you laid out the shapes and lines first are your most solid work, obviously, becuase you took the time to work through that more annoying aspects of drawing.

the Pterodactyl lacks contrast, much, most, of the shading blurs together and flattens (and distorts) the image.

For the warrior guy. Anatomy is the issue here. Follow the same methods you took with fleshing out the stick figures and you should see improvement.

Sorry if you weren't looking for crits...I just couldn't help it.

Thanks for posting, and keep em coming.

Out.

[jamie]

Yeah sry about the size before. I resized 'em, so they should be easier to view. Still fooling with photobucket and stuff but Ill get the hang of it.
Thanks for the crits I appreciate anything that I can learn from. I'm anxious to hear from other ppl.

[Zeb]

mr.right, I watched your church animation and I love it. The sketchy style is so cool. I think I'm missing something though...I don't get the soap thing...I really like the BG images on your site too. They also have that sketchy, and blotchy coloring that really looks cool. I'm really liking your site.

Damn, I just had to say something.

I'll try and watch the rest of the animations later tonight.

Seriously, cool stuff.

zzz Out.

[mr.right]

I can't believe we've made it to page 3! And as another surprise, I have 5 pictures to post today! A couple from work, one from church, and one ... like we talked about...

Zeb: hey thanks! I think the "Church" animation is probably my best, although others are funnier. The way my site is set up right now, I haven't finished the pages or people on them, so... but... several people say that they like the people unfinished... don't know what I want to do.

http://www.right.demonicpillbug.com/pics/notebook/3_29s.jpg

Okay, question: which looks better to ya'll because I tried two different scanning methods. Do you like seeing a refined picture better, or seeing the actual pencil strokes. I personally like looking at this thread and being able to tell what media was used, but then again, the other one looks cool too.
http://www.right.demonicpillbug.com/pics/notebook/3_30s.jpg

http://www.right.demonicpillbug.com/pics/notebook/3_31s.jpg

http://www.right.demonicpillbug.com/pics/notebook/3_32s.jpg

for Jamie: welcome to the thread.
http://www.right.demonicpillbug.com/pics/notebook/4_1.jpg

I have to confess I didn't spend but 5 minutes on the above pic, but I just wanted to illustrate (ha!) what I meant by working on others' stuff. I'll work on my own too, and in more detail later, but I just wanted to get the ball rolling...

[Zeb]

I really like the unfinished, sketchy look. It adds an immense level of character to the site.

Thanks for the pic. I've dled a few of your images to play around with, so I'll see what I can come up with in the next few days.

As for the sketch vs refined sketch...while the refined version is cleaner and easier to read, the original sketch is more of what this thread stands for. (Atleast to me, anyone who feels otherwise can say so.)

Well, here's the concept I said that I would post in reference to my "Paradise Lost" idea:

http://www.zebzero.com/images/Notebook42.jpg

I find it odd that this is the first time that I've scanned a lined paper image and the scanner dropped out the lines on its own...scary.

Hmm.

Out.

[eincloud]

Wow, I have spent a lot time drawing in class but I have never really collected it all. You have inspired me to start collecting them and saving all of my notes.

Went back and put some color into a pic. To show what slo-poke I am, this pic took me a little over an hour to do.

Did this one a while ago...so I forget which class it was.

Have any of you guys ever liked a doodle so much that you decided to devote just a little more time to it? Crazy when that happens! It happened to me with this guy:

http://img67.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Crikket/drgnface2.jpg

I liked it so I decided to practice coloring in P-shop:

I come back to post and see all these contributions from sodomizer, will, and zeb, THEN ardjet posts some brillant stuff THEN, AERYTHES makes me fall of the chair I'm already on the edge of.

Aerythes: your first and last pics are incredible! Thanks so much for contributing.

I've been going back and forth over what to work on next -- one of Zeb's or one from Will's last post. I don't know what happened to Shadow because I wanted to tackle his style for a day too. Also, Stacy, Lioness, Jamie... ? Ou est-ce que vous?

Will post more when I finish my history papers. Which could be Friday... here's hoping.

[Zeb]

Aerythes: a-freakin-mazing.

Ardjet: also very good. I really like seeing the evolution of the piece.

Wow. Now this is what's up. Damn.

Here's one for today:

Sancho!!! holy crap!!! where have you been all my life? those are great!!! anyways, i've been watching this thread for about a week now and i finally found a hosting site!!! :thumbsup: so here's what we do in french... http://ice.prohosting.com/kipodm/octo-dude.jpg


hope u can see this one, it doesn't work on this school computer... any crits (x-cept for the bad ones :D ) r welcome!

Sorry so short, now back to studying for Finals...argh!

Out.

[mr.right]

I'm glad to see so many posts! I'm sorry about the hiatus, but finals are over for me now. Also, I found a yachtload (which is bigger than a boatload) of old sketches done on the back of old papers. I don't know how old some are, but I'll try to post the older ones first and work my way up. These aren't as old as high school though. These are all college pics. I should be able to go back to 5 a day.

Zeb: Thanks for coloring my pic! I see the squid/octopi battle is just heating up...

Will: Waiting for a post in pen... You said you'd try.

Sancho: I'm not sure what to say to you. On the one hand, there is much to be said for re-creating charachters consistently (without variation that makes you think they are different characters) -- I assume you didn't use exact reference for the Sonic pictures. Is that eyeball guy your own creation? I think I'd like to see more of him if he is your own. My favorite is the first on yellow paper. I'm not saying you shouldn't post more Sonic stuff -- it's just harder to critique, and I'd like to see more like the first yellow paper pic. Welcome to the thread. (oh, also, is that last robot from RPG World?)

Skid: PLEASE RESIZE!!!

Ardjet: Very cool! Have you considered coloring something and posting it in the creatures thread? I suggest you cruise through it if you haven't yet. It's a good thread.

Little Jackson: It took me a while to figure out that it was a face. You may consider (and this is going to be hypocritical because my early posts are notorious for not doing it.) cropping closer.

Good work all around.

fun practice: made one new stroke each box and had to keep all the old strokes the same. It's tough to reproduce thigs so accurately.

here's a little 15min something for zeb:

[Zeb]

Hey, thanks Will and mr.right. They joy of colors.

So what're you two using to color. I'm rockin PS7.0.1, or shorter, 7. I have Painter 8, but no codes to crack in yet...so I haven't been able to try it out. Open Canvas is fun, but I don't find it that acceptable for coloring. Damn PS has ruined me possibly.

I'll try and get a few more done soon for you guys, but It's so hard to pick...I wish shadow's stuff was still up...boohoo.

Thanks again, and mr.right: don't take so much time off next time. You had me worried. Hehe.

Out.

Oh...and expect more octopi soon...or possible evil squids!!! Now with extra tentacles!!!

[mr.right]

Will: nice color job!

5 more: You can notice a dramatic change in style... this didn't stick.

Just some fun with a pen

[mr.right]

edit: post #92 actually... damn you Dutch Badass!... but welcome to the thread

Wow! We've come a long ways! Totally awesome.

Because of moving, I no longer have internet and have to come to school (shouldn't be a problem, I work here) to put anything up. So if you prompt me to put something up (for example I need to get a squid pic up) it's going to take me a little longer. Just fair warning.

Skid: I saw your links. 1 it looks like you put a lot of thought into your sketches and 2 it looks like you did some heavy pen layering to maker areas darker (specifically the slime one) I know we've been encouraging people to work with a ballpoint pen because it's a misunderstood media, but I think I'd like to see some pencil work out of you.

[TheBug]

mr.right: You're stuff, as usual, rocks.
Dutch Badass: your nick says it all...BADASS.
skid: what is wrong with pink? I don't see a problem with it? Does it bother you? Can you not handle it?

Argh, expect images later.

[Lord FlatHead]

Did this in math class on a 4x5 piece of printer paper with a really sharp pencil. Oddly enough, it came out better than most stuff I draw at home.

http://users.pandora.be/flathead/storage/angryguy.jpg

[Zeb]

Who would have thought that was back when mr.right started this and no one posted that we would make it to page four? And with more people posting each week no less!

So, I have a request...for anyone that wishes to try it out. I want to see a "while you were supposed to be doing something else" sketch of people around you turning into plants or trees. Sort of an expirement to meld the human form with a more natural form. This would be an execellent way to work on contours for both humans and foliage have wonderful primary and secondary contours...anyway...take your time with it, or just ignore me all together.

Have an image:
http://www.zebzero.com/images/Notebook50.jpg

Oh, and if anyone wants something colored, then let me know. Only rule is though, it HAS to be something that follows the guidelines of THIS thread.

Man I wish I had a scanner...

Anyways I think about 98% of my drawings come from doodles during class/church/work. Wish I could upload them.

Great pics everyone.

Welcome n00bs! Zeb, I'll work on a person/tree tonight. Only it won't be in a classroom... my roomate playing video games work for ya? Also, a personal question: why are we the only two still posting from the first page? C'mon Shadow, Lady Lioness, Jaime, and all other oldies....

Anyway, today's 5:

[PeggyChung]

Hey guys, sorry about not posting lately. I have been really busy because its end of the year and you know thats the time when teachers start cramming all the projects at you. Also my grades arent so hot so im trying my best to actually pay attention :O :O :O

btw you guys stuff is looking really cool, its so opposite of mine, im uncreative -.- dont worry i think you guys though, but i never know what to draw in that bit of time. i ll be back!

[skid]

zeb: what do you mean what's wrong with pink? it's PINK!!!
mr. right: pencil work should be comin' in soon... i'm learnin' to resize...^_^


skid's friend says: THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH PINK! Besides, it wasn't really pink. It was MAgenta. er. is that how you spell it?
sorry for that outburst, i should have kept her tied up in the cellar...
skid's friend says: and YOU think you can tie ME up?! hah... tie me up my ass
skid: ummm...yeah...

[Ardjet]

Mr. right: I love the creature thread! I posted my colored dragon head there, but I don't think any of my other stuff is worthy to show beside the genius that thread froths with. :)

Zeb! That's terrific! Thanks! I actually don't have P-shop at home, and I had to color my dragon at school. But now that I'm done with high school, I might not be getting a chance to color my own stuff for a while...Oh well.

Here's another one I found, done during english class junior year:

http://img67.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Crikket/lizard.jpg

[Zeb]

skid: you want to fight man?! alright, i'm not that upset...hehe besides you should, as a striving artist, be more attuned to colors...ALL colors.

skid's friend: thanks.

mr.right: i have no idea why we're the only ones from the beginning still posting, although in the begininng we were the ONLY ones posting practically. i don't mind who it is that gets drawn...in fact i might try one out later on tonight...just so it doesn't look like i'm not willing to do my own stuff.

Ardjet: hey hey, you're givin me more to color!!! nice.

brkofdon: amazing.

LadyLioness: don't say such things about yourself. one must have faith in their own abilities first and foremost. If you don't believe than you won't grow as an artist.

Alright, that about covers everyone.

Now, everyone who reads this thread or is consistently LURKING out there...I insist that you participate. Seriously, wer'e up to page four and about 80% of this stuff is by either mr.right or myself. Damn lazy people. Hehe.

And if you have no art, then leave comments. Those are always fun to read, especially the creative ones.

Well, folks, I'll get back to you later on.

Out.

[mr.right]

Attention everyone, we broke 100 posts. I'm still here, just less frequently. I'll get stuff up when I can.

brkofdon: welcome, and, in class!?!?!? You drew them in class and colored them later, or you colored them in class? Either way, that's some "classy" work, sir.

mr. right:still workin' on the pencil work...couldn't find a pencil...:rolleyes: oh, yeah, skid's friend said that mr. right's people r ugly!!!

[Zeb]

Now here I was scrolling through with no intentions of replying, but now I can see that I was wrong.

skid: your friend is mean. mr.right's people aren't ugly and whoever this friends is should be made to sit in the corner during your CA time.

skid's friend: either be nice, or show us something better.

Alright.

I feel better now.

sorry for that short post, i was in a hurry to get to homeroom. about the link above, if it doesn't work the first time, hit refresh. then, a small comment on the drawing. i'm really sorry that i didn't get time to add some shading. if you could zoom in on the picture, you would see scales on the hands and the separation between the feathers and scales on the wrist. zeb, if u could colo this one nicely, i'd appreciate it (just don't color it pink, pls!!!):beer:

[Zeb]

skid: but pink would be the perfect color! hehe, I saved it to my HD and I'll get started on it shortly, thanks for the lines. As for coloring "nicely," well, I color how I color and if you've got a problem with that...hehe, just kidding.

Well, I'm out till later.

heh. alot of my best work has been done in really boring classes. Its funny how the only thing interesting sometimes is the fear of not graduating..


http://members.tripod.com/carlbeu/6af7ed20.jpg

[mr.right]

Well, all of my ugly people are in therapy. They want to be nice people, mostly. It goes without saying that most of them are in anger management classes, and several of them need to learn to hold their tongues. Skid's friend: my apoplogies if any of my people were rude to you -- somehow, though they are not real.

Otherwise, I love coming back and seeing hella new posts. Tender.

.cfb: :eek: I'll come up with more constructive comments when I can get my jaw back up.

TheBug: I don't know how I missed your first post, but your work is awesome. a hell of a a lot of detail in that turtle. I'd love to see you take on Zeb's metamorphosis idea.

Zeb: Speaking of which, I have drawn a piece that combines a decaying bonzai tree and my friend playing video games (secret meaning????) but I can't post it yet. Thanks for coloring my dude! I think coloring looks best with the pencil work one, so if I do a drawing in pencil, I won't try to convert it from now on. Also, it looks like you are using the burn and dodge tools. And if you are, I shouldn't be able to tell, my friend... The pic by Skid you colored is your best color work yet.

All: I'm sorry not to post artwork. I've been doing plenty, but cannot FTP my work from my computer and have yet to find a computer here where I can. I'll figure something out and then I'll have a way huge art dump.

Later Days,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, :eat:

[Zeb]

I understand completely mr.right. As for skid's piece I didn't burn or dodge at all. The shadows are mostly darker values of an approximate color...if that makes sense. And the whites are actually 10% greys with small white highlights added. Argh.

I used to never burn and dodge, but for these quick one layer pieces it tends to make it quicker and easier to lay down values quickly. How redundant.

Any tips though on avoiding the obviousness of those damn tools besides not using them?

I like using lower opacities of a color then building on it with screen/multiply layers, but that takes awhile. Sometimes too long.

Aw well...dragged on a bit there.

I'll catch back up later on this weekend perhaps.

Out.

*edit...I did burn for the shadow...sorry!

[skid]

man, zeb, that's awesome... thanx. you shouldn't complain about the wing, it's awesome.
mr. right: sorry for my friend, she's a bit evil sometimes.
the bug: yur work is awesome, a lot of detail on all of them, it must have been a really long class...:eek:

[andres_pad]

i love this so much. *adds shortcut to favourites*. wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow. i do this too, i am actaully at the point where i get into trouble cos i draw too much in tests and in my book etc. :P i love this stuff so much. keep it up ;)

[skid]

here's a little crosshatching experiment i did in english class.
i think it's pretty good.click HERE (http://ice.prohosting.com/kipodm/CoolDragon.JPG)
if the link doesn't work go here (http://ice.prohosting.com/kipodm/Portfolio.htm) and see the bottom of the page

[Zeb]

skid: while this is a good expirement there are several problems with your hatching. first off, it is way to erratic. it also doesn't work the way it should. your image still appears flat. slow down with your lines and make each one individually. also, i tip, instead of using normal cross-hatching, try to work on cross-contour, which is where you follow the forms with your lines. oh, and generally you will wrap the hatching lines around the object anyway to give it more solidity. and try to avoid what you did with the scales on the chest of the dragon.

Sheesh, sorry if it sounds like I'm biting your head off.

I have a little thing you could do, they made us do this back when I was still and art major, draw ten 1x1 inch boxes and make a gradient using cross hatching with your pen. I'll scan mine:

http://www.zebzero.com/images/pengradients.jpg

There, I hope that helps atleast a small bit.

andres_pad: why don't you join in then? you should have a nice collection of images to share with us.

anyway, that is that.

Out.

[andres_pad]

k, sure. sounds good. i'll add some stuff tomorrow when i have time. i drawn a whole heap today too :P

[skid]

zeb, thanx 4 the tips. u made me see the errors of my ways. i actually got some bad crits from other ppl. any crit that helps me improve my stuff is a good crit... yur coloring really inspired me to continue the birdman design, so i came up with this:http://ice.prohosting.com/khanate/birdiefrontwiev.jpg
i did it during french, i did the weapons during chemistry and i edited it a bit during english...:p. nevermind the flying version, it came out really bad.[DAMN!!!]

[Zeb]

Sheesh, sorry I've been MIA lately...CA hasn't been my favorite place lately.

Now to end the redundancy.

Good job all who posted and thanks.

andres_pad: In the spirit of this forum I'd recommend paying closer attention to your source, or rather, using some form of reference; IE the people in class, the things in class (or whereever it is that you are drawing). God, to think that's the only thing you'll hear around here...you know what, fuck it, draw how you want to draw. God, CA is so...

To the rest of you...Danke.

[mr.right]

Okay, :(

It's become apparent that this summer I will not have internet access. The main reason for this post is so you won't be wondering, "Well, he said he was going to post..." I apologize -- and I'm also very saddened that I won't be able to update or even view the work on this forum very often.

I hope this thread lives on, though, and am sure that if anyone can keep up with it, it's ZEB.

Good luck all, have a productive summer!

Bon chance, mes amis!

[Zeb]

mr.right places a lot of faith in me...considering that I too won't be able to contribute as much as I'd like to over the summer.

I'll need all of your help.

So, try, hard as you may, to supply this thread with plenty of material. I'll try hard as well. And when that runs low, well, I'll just have to dip into the collection to date and start coloring.

Please, I'm asking all of you who have posted to keep the art coming, and those of you who look and consider posting but don't, POST!!!

Out.

[skid]

damn, i won't be able to post any pics, either... sorry...

[Zeb]

.cfb: thanks for claiming it (and being honest). I have this awful habit of scrolling through the new posts and saving the ones I like to my HD, then forgetting who posted them originally...I'm also a bit too lazy to wait for the past pages to load to find out who did them. Speaking of, I saved the first of your newest post, so expect something soon.

skid: I'm going to play with your "Birdie" design. Hopefully you don't mind? I'm not stealing it, I just need something to do and it's the most interesting thing at the moment...next to FFTA of course.

To the rest of you slackers!!!

Just kidding. Hey, Lady Lioness, what happened to you? And where is Shadow?? He disappeared about four pages ago. It's so lonely here without mr.right...that sounds so odd.

Anyway, back to work.

SUGGESTION: if you guys are bored in class you should try writing and drawing with your left hand. I especially learned to write neater with my left hand through world history class! its so boring and i spend a lot of time just doodling with the left, trust me it helps a lot. *trying to be like da vinci*!

Hey, Lioness, good to see you. Funny stuff you have there.

Here's me playing with skid's bird at about 2 AM, it looks alot like skids...sorry, I wasn't feeling very creative:

First of the week.

A quick one from last night...

*Edit: No reference used.

[mr.right]

I would not kill you, Zeb. You've been doing a great job of keeping this thread alive. I was happy to see more posts! .cfb and Lioness esp.

.cfb;; I like your dark images -- have you considered using heavy blacks in your work?

will;; sorry not to comment earlier, but that's an awesome Cyclops pic (even though he's my least favorite X-man)

zeb;; upon further meandering in photoshop, I've discovered that layering too much makes the images muddy, and like they've been taken to with the burn tool. Blending is a good tool, but try to select the blended color and use it at 100%... hmm, but even then it can still come out muddy... try thinking about the type of light, not just the source and it will help you think about how to get areas darker, because if they are dark enough, you should just go ahead and make them black. Again, this is just me experimenting; let me know if it works for you.

And I encourage everyone to look at killing.people's tutorial theread. Voila! (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=18980)

mr. right: I've tried some heavy blacks, mostly with india ink and a thicker brush, but it never turns out too well. This is about as close as I get. Maybe I'll try again.




Anyways, I haven't drawn much recently, because of finals, but eh, here's all I've gotten done today:

[Dutch Badass]

Again something I did out of boredom in the place I have to work for school

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/v58/BadassNL/kaboutertuin.jpg

[Zeb]

While this thread is called "Drawing in Class," it was made quite clear early on that the drawings could have been done "while you were supposed to be doing something else."

For instance, drawing on menus while in resteraunts was found to be acceptable by mr.right early on.

This thread is really meant to be an outlet for all those times you, all the artists reading this, couldn't just not draw. It's for when you were supposed to be engaged in some other, no less important, activity but were stricken with an uncontrollable earge to create. It's to have fun!

Hey Dutch have you checked out killing.people's tutorial thread that mr.right posted? If not, then do so. I learned a few things from it and I'm sure anyone who reads it will. You're definitely showing some progress though. Hell, my main crit wouldn't be with your skill, but rather with your compositions. They are, respectfully of course, boring. A portrait-esqu image, a profile shot, and part of tree with a branch cutting about center? Come on, I know you can come up with more exciting and just as quick compositions.

One of the best things for learning PS isn't just sitting down and coloring out an actual image, but playing with brushes, color, value, texture, lighting, and on and on. An abstract "screwing around" can be more helpful than a rendering of some sketch.

Take that as you will.

.cfb: That link isn't working. It tries to load http:/// and I'm thinking you forgot to add the link? Or maybe CA just screwed it up? Who knows.

Well, back to animating...argh.

Hey thanks for taking the time to crit my work

i`ll defenitely keep this in mind when I feel like drawing with photoshop

The problem is
I don`t have a wacom tablet or something so I find it very hard to lay out a nice composition

When i`m working with a mouse I have lots of trouble making a nice composition because I can`t find my "flow" if you know what I mean


I know it sounds stupid....but I dunno how to explain it......and because my motherlanguage isn`t english it`s hard to explain also :D

I will pay more attention to the composition next time

Thnx again :chug:

[Emerald164]

No Problem...Sorry about that :) I would have done it earlier but...I'm a procrastinator :(

[Zeb]

Dutch I understand COMPLETELY what you say about "flow." In fact, that is the perfect word for it. All things must have a steady, constant, delicate flow in order for a level of composure to exist. The flow of one line to the next. The flow from light to dark or color to color. All must be smooth and clear. There is a deep, and masterful quality to harnessing the "flow" of the instrument and utilizing it to its potential.

A mouse is NOT the best of tools for this. Although, if you slow down and take a bit more time and effort (I'm not speaking at you, just in general) sometimes the outcome can be just as good. Like all things, it just takes patience.

Here, this was my first ever real PS attempt and it was done with a mouse.

http://zebzero.com/images/Fantasy2.jpg

While it is a hodge podge of hacked up layers (which is dreadfully obvious) there is also a "flow" about it. It took about seven and a half hours if I remember correctly.

Now that I've gotten all of that philosophizing out of the way.

I hope you understand what I've been ranting about and don't think I'm just being a pompous windbag (which I can be sometimes!).

Emerald...don't worry to much. Procrastination is very dangerous though. Trust me. It's just like crack, addicting and deadly.

Well folks. I promised three images and I'm not ready to post the third yet. I haven't been able to draw while in the midst of other things because all my other things have required my full attention. I apologize.

Perhaps I'll bring a sketchbook to my nephew's soccer game tomorrow. Perhaps.

haha
just kidding

I understand completely what you mean
And defenitely will remember stuff you said...

7 and a half hours to make that painting.....I wish I would have 7 and a half hour to make something @ work :D

Unfortunately my boss isn`t away that long....lol

Anyways.....Thanks for the replies and advice

It isn't? Damn.

Here I was, coming back from a shitty weekend at the beach and expecting, that's right, NO replies...and turns out mr.right is back...well, I'm shocked and amazing, and very freaking happy to hear that. I was struggling here...hard core.

Thanks for the pic man, nice job. Would look sick colored up...hmm *saves* and on with other news.

I'm a lazy ass who hasn't drawn, hmmm, ANYTHING in the past three days...I should have my imaginary artists liscence revokes pending a tribunal of the board members to meet in 2029...of course, there may NOT be any board members and they may not hold tribunals, but it sounded cool anyway.

I'm out of it. Three cups of espresso and I'm goooone.

Well, I make no promises, but I'll try...perhaps. Who knows.

Dutch, you don't have PS at home? Hmm. There are ways to remedy such a problem. Of course, I can't speak of them here. Mods just sneak up on you out of the blue in situations like that.

Well, mr.right's back folks. Party at my place around 3 AM.

You're all invited.

Out.

[Zeb]

To make up for the lapse, here are three I did just after my reply. The first two are my interpretation of Marvelous Bob, for those who don't know who that is, go to http://www.unknownhero.com and read up. It's short and sweet.

http://www.zebzero.com/images/MarvBob.jpg

http://www.zebzero.com/images/MarvBob2.jpg

Those I did while waiting for the season finale of Deadwood, I did the first on lined paper, then remembered I had plain white printer paper underneath, so I switched. My rents were watching the hundred greatest country love songs or something...argh!

This one I did during Deadwood, but quickly abandoned it due to the attractive quality of that show...it's amazing.

http://www.zebzero.com/images/UnfinishedFace.jpg

I hope you're all satisfied...hehe, just kidding, they were fun to do.

Out.

[mr.right]

Sorry, no new art, but I was going through the thread recording numbers for no apparent reason. These are the people, from most to least posts, that have posted artwork on this thread. I included coloring someone else's pic as an art post because it was how we once decided to keep the thread alive and it is still art. Also, if you linked it instead of posting it visually, I counted it (a lot of Skid's work is posted this way). Enjoy!

1. mr.right - 115 posts not including the three screenshots I posted from my flash animation.
2. zeb - 46 posts - less than half what I did but OVER FIVE TIMES the next closest "poster" child
3. stacy- 9 posts - I'm not kidding; she hold's the "3" spot and we lost her on page 2.
4. shadow & lioness - 8 posts - more people we've seemed to have lost.
6. skid & dementist - 7 posts - keep 'em comin' guys
8. WillSchnevel & .cfb - 6 posts - witty remark here
10. ardjet & Dutch Badass - 5 posts
12. Aerythes, sancho, andres_pad, jamie, f00l, & Emerald164 - 4 posts
18. The Bug - 2 posts - the grid paper man

One hit wonders:
Hunger_Artist, Lord Flathead, brkofdon, dryfire, Little Jackson, threelegged_chicken, & sodomizer.

Hopefully this list will make some people want to climb the ranks...

[Zeb]

So this is a horse race now. How exciting.

No new art, but tell me this doesn't suck:

I was doing this kickass OC sketch at about 2 AM and the power in my house skipped because of the damn storm raging outside.

My computer consequently shut itself down and rebooted, losing my sketch that I had been rocking for about five minutes and hadn't even considered saving yet.

Damn.

Out.

[Zeb]

With no Bic Pen in sight I had to settle for pencil...here is the latest update to the "unfinished face" pic I posted a day or two ago...

http://www.zebzero.com/images/UnfinishedFace2.jpg

Out.

[mr.right]

Zeb, I was just curious if you ever sketch out an outline before you jump in, or, y'know, scratch out the forms first. From what it looks like, nobody on this thread is really doing that.

I admit, I usually just get the head and shoulders down before jumping in -- especially when using pen, but if the character or object is going to be doing something crazy, I have to sketch out what it's going to look like. Usually I sketch then draw over it, but sometimes I draw a thumbnail real sketchy and make it nice when I work on the larger version.

Later Days,..........////;;;;;;;;;;;;;

edit: changed my avatar. Didn't think it was right to be a veteran with someone else's art as my avatar.
... except I guess it takes a while to kick in... here are the three I chose from:

http://www.right.demonicpillbug.com/pics/icons/slumber.jpg http://www.right.demonicpillbug.com/pics/icons/spray.jpg http://www.right.demonicpillbug.com/pics/icons/punch.jpg

[Zeb]

mr.right: You should hold on to the other two potential avatars as back up. Can't keep the same one for too long. As for the other question. I generally sketch out a circle for the head lightly and that's it, everything else I just draw (which is painfully obvious in many of my works). If I'm doing a pose I've never done before I do the full stick figure thing to lay out when I want it to bend and such. If the image is something I plan on taking further than a sketch I'll do a few thumbnails first to get an idea of the composition. Perhaps a few in color to see what color does. Mostly though, I just do the circle for the head and draw some lines through it for the hair line, mouth, nose, and eyes.

I did the full stick figure for the Marvelous Bob Pic 2 above, but I erased them out before I scanned it in. The joy of 4H pencils.

Here's an example:

http://www.zebzero.com/images/SameFace.jpg

The first one I did is the top right (with the lines showing) and the rest I could pretty much duplicate and tweak each time. I have a really cool marker sketch of the same face...I seem to be drawing it continuously every time I pick up something you can draw with.

Argh.

Out.

[PeggyChung]

Hey guys, im not entirely lost but its been hectic and i dont scribble much due to that i try my best to pay attention in class haha. well it was the last day today and i was bored ppl were giving their speeches so here are mroe drawings of people in class :P oh such a bad scan. check out my thread i shoulbe having frequent updates there now that school is over :D

Nice work Ether
I`m lovin that colored broken castle thingie :D

Did something fast in photoshop @ work

Another boring face....:o

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/v58/BadassNL/indianwarriorxbwart.jpg

[Zeb]

Dutch...Looking better each time. Only crit is that the shading makes the pic look flat.

Ether...I already told you off! Hehe.

Lioness...Welcome back.

EmKay...Welcome. Nice hand studies, but I really like the small outlines of the bodies. A nice representation of form.

No new stuff from me...but, if anyone wants something colored, the offer still stands, just make sure it's from this thread.

Out.

*Edit...Dutch, I should be more specific when I say it looks flat...I mean more from the neck down. The face is alright, but could stand to be a bit smoother.

[Dutch Badass]

Thnx Zeb
I think I know what you mean....I`ll try to fix it today....@ work offcourse :D

[waronmars]

Oh man, here has this thread been all my life!? Too bad I'm on holidays now...go check out my sketchbook you freakishly good artists...sheesh! :D

[Zeb]

I had something crazy assholish to say about something, but changed my mind because you guys seem to be having fun.

Where is mr.right when you need him?

Just don't lose sight of what this thread is supposed to be. I know that it is summer time, so "drawing in class" is out, but try to keep it to a "while I should've been doing something else..." thread.

I'm out.

Bit of playing around with PS @ work

Ref:

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/v58/BadassNL/ogen.jpg

Bit smoothing:
http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/v58/BadassNL/eyessmooth.jpg

Couldn`t finish it cause I had to go back to working

:D

[Zeb]

Yakuza: Nice pic. A little color would be sweet...

Shamrock: I like it. I like the hand holding the knife more.

Dutch: Try playing with textures. Shading and smoothing you're getting better at, now push it further. The wrinkles in the guys face and his scraggly eye brows would be a good place to strart...I know you had to get back to work so it was cut short...this is for next time.

Ether: It doesn't matter what I was going to say and urging me to do so when I said it wasn't going to be nice, isn't very nice. Besides, I said it in a nicer way below that. Just trying to remind people what they're here for.

YouKillMyself: Fix the eyes so that they look like they are IN the head. Right now they appear to be popping out. Also, the holes on the skull don't appear to be flowing with the curvature of the skull and they flatten it out up there.

In other news, I'm a lazy ass and this is all I've got for you:

http://www.zebzero.com/images/Jack.jpg

By the way, I was working from a digital cam photo he sent me. Said "make me in to a pimp..." and I tried. Halfway through it though I noticed that I changed the perspectives on the face...so the nose it wrong and the eyes are off kilter. Speaking of the eyes, they're too big and a bit to anime-ish...argh I wish I could kill that part of me...and the mouth is an abysmal failure.

So, if you decide to crit after that, be just as abusive as I am to myself. No one ever learned anything from having smoke blown up their ass.

And I'm spent.

Out.

[ShamrockSpecial]

Zeb: I completely agree with you on the
hand with the knife looking better... I tried and
tried but i couldnt get it to look right with it being that small
well...seeing as how my wacom tablet is at work
i will get to work on it more...also i think the left
arm needs to be bigger.

As far as your drawing goes...I love how you
always draw in pen it takes great confidence
and comfort to do that...and i respect that.
But your guy has no neck...so please give him
one when you get the chance.
ANd one question are we allowed to post progress
on drawings?

[Zeb]

It was agreed to that for summer you could take the concepts you've done here and push them further. Possibly make finished works out of them. By the way, what prog did you draw that in?

So, it you wanted to finish the wolverine pic, then do so.

Yeah, I should've mentioned the neck in my thing...in the photo he doesn't really have one either, but it makes more sense. I hate drawing from photos...they're too flat. The perspective man!!! I killed it. Straight slaughter house mess of perspective on that. Thanks for the response.

Well, I should probably be drawing or something.

Out.

[ShamrockSpecial]

I used open canvas 1.1b71
Its pretty sweet...

[Yakuza]

did this at work, hope no one was watching :)

http://server6.uploadit.org/files/Yakuza-play1.jpg

[ShamrockSpecial]

Got caught drawing at work...kinda sucks
cause now it will be harder to find a way
to not work and to draw instead...but i like
challenges...
http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v256/shamrockspecial/wolvsktch.jpg

[ShamrockSpecial]

Yakuza: Your work is amazing...
All of your drawings look so perfect.

BTW: Does anyone know whats going
on with this website?

[Zeb]

Yakuza's work is very good.

I have OC 1.whatever and 3.somthing plus. Did a few things in there. I love the ease and simplicity of the prog.

I have no idea what's going on here! Hmm.

Yeah I was allready working on textures but haven`t uploaded it yet....

Now I have to wait till monday cause the full resolution image is on the computer @ work

So i`ll try to make it more real and textured.... and I`ll try to show you the result monday...:chug:

[Yakuza]

Hey guys thanks for the comments. This is the first time I have participated in an "art" forum. It nice to be around other creative types. I Also love the honesty here. I want to become a better artist all the time and with the kinda crits I have seen and been apart of, I dont know I am just realy diggin the maturity level here. I wish that wasn't so rare.

Keep those sketches comming.

[mr.right]

Somebody hates me.

I was kicked off the internet by my apartment complex -- apparently I was infecting the network with a virus that had already been quarantined by my computer. whatever

So when I finally get back online, CA is down. Damn those hackers! I had to go a long time without my forum fix (and I've got some good stuff to post).
HOWEVER, now that CA is back up my hosting is down! All everything I had online, all my art, my website, IT'S ALL GONE AND I DON'T KNOW WHY!

So honestly I don't know when you're going to see some art from me, but I like what ya'll have posted. Youkillmyself, Ether, Shamrock, Dutch, Yakuza = good stuff.

Also, I liked the old CA interface better.

Later Days,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, :eat:

[Zeb]

Talk about taking something slick and screwing it.

This is obnoxious...

Anyway, sorry to hear it mr.right...and I was so excited that the man behind the thread would be returning, apparently it was not to be so. Well, you ARE back, just not back in full force. Soon perhaps.

I was cleaning and changing my room around and a stack of notebooks fell out of this pile of old school work I had stashed under my bed. I flip them open and find several things worth scanning. So, here they are, a few (not so new) new images:

http://www.zebzero.com/images/Notebook51.jpg
http://www.zebzero.com/images/Notebook52.jpg
http://www.zebzero.com/images/Notebook53.jpg
http://www.zebzero.com/images/Notebook54.jpg

I think these happened during Colloquium of my freshmen year at UD...back when I was still an art major aspiring to be an Illustrator or Graphic Designer. Things have a way of falling through though and now I'm a good ol' English Major with no concentration, no direction, and no motivation to do anything.

Kids, I have an important piece of wisdom to lay down on you: DO NOT GIVE IN TO THE ANIME STYLE! It may seem like fun and a great way to draw, but it'll ruin you forever. The influence is deep in my art and try hard as I can, I can't fully remove it. It's screwed me over so many times. Anime WILL limit your growth as an artist.

I've gone back and told my high school art teacher this and she's promised me to beat it into the heads of her teens. She said she sees so much of it in their work that it makes her sick. I told her to tell them that if they aspire to be artists then giving up the style or changing it drastically is the only way to do so.

I've ranted long enough. You all can feel free to TRY and debate me on this, but keep in mind I won't argue this. It's a done deal and it's how I feel to my core. Those out there that swear by anime, manga, and anything of that genre, well, good luck...you'll need it.

And with that, I'm spent.

Out.

[Dutch Badass]

Fun with a pen...

[ShamrockSpecial]

Thanks Ether...
yeah I need to work on hands.
The problem with the arms, well... the first post his left arm is too small and seemingly not in motion. The second post, I think the problem is where the arms and shoulder area connect more so than a problem with the arms themselves.

[Zeb]

Here's something I did earlier. For awhile now I've been trying to make an image that depicts just how this one particular female in my life makes me feel. Well, I was sitting and watching a movie with the rents and started sketching. About five minuts into the sketch I realised that I wouldn't be able to do it justice unless I stopped watching the movie...

Keep in mind that it isn't finished. It's far from it actually. Well, enjoy:

http://www.zebzero.com/images/Epic.jpg

Comments and Crits are always welcome...

Out.

[Dutch Badass]

That "Particular Female" makes you feel...eeeuhm.....weird ;)

But I dig this
I think this can become a very nice piece.....Keep us updated :dance:

[skid]

6. skid & dementist - 7 posts - keep 'em comin' guys
NNNNNOOOOOOOOO!!! i won't be able to...:cry: i can barely get half an hour at the internet cafe once every 2 weeks... (or so...:P)
hey, great stuff zeb, mr. right and everyone else i didn't have the patience 2 mention...

[Zeb]

Ether: yeah, we've been through it.

skid: damnit man come on!

Here's the version of that last pic up from the next day:

http://www.zebzero.com/images/Epic2.jpg

Organics are blue. Human is red, and metal is black. I know a human is technically organic, so don't go there. I traced this from my original copy with bic pens.

And here is another quick sketch:

http://www.zebzero.com/images/Half.jpg

I have a fascination with only drawing half of a face. That and I hadn't drawn out any guide lines for a whole face, but rather built this on one piece at a time until it was at such a point that I couldn't really keep going without ruining it.

[skid]

sorry... but what really pisses me off about this situation is that i recently made some really good stuff that i can't scan because they're on A3 paper. i think i can xerox & shrink them & then scan them... :crosseyed
yur doin' a geat job keepin' this thread alive, zeb, mr. right must be so proud... :btu:

[Inukipachuki]

I was bored in the my class and decided to draw one of my characters which I've lovingly titled, "The Beast". Isn't he just adorable?

http://img3.imgspot.com/u/04/192/10/DSC00905.jpg

[Inukipachuki]

Thanks! Glad to be on the forums.
Actually, it's from a digital pic I took. I don't have a scanner. :cry:

[Zeb]

A yes, time for another reply.

Inukipachuki: Welcome, welcome. Always glad to see some new faces. Sorry to hear about your lack of a scanner. I'm sure most of us have some real horror stories when it comes to that subject...for instance, the first scanner I ever own worked for about three days, then got effed and scanned everything in with a harsh red glare. Funny thing is, the damn thing works just fine one my friend's comp...

...I'm sure you'd like me to say something about your image, that IS why you are here, isn't it?

Here's how to make that image easier to see...first off, add some ink to it to make the outlines darker. Then, when photographing try to not stand in front of the light so we don't see your shadow. Set up the drawing with a decent light source and try out several shots to see which angle gives you the best resolution. Lather, rinse, and repeat.

Oh, and everyone go to www.zebzero.com/ammonites

OMG!!! kewl stuff ppl! nu stuff should be comin' soon, i started school (yay???) :P
yakuza: i tried to make a wolf man, but it just turned out like a really crappy. but anyways, the main theme of my drawings is animal people.
zeb: i saw you gave up on the bird man, so i worked on it.
mr. frost: that minotaur looks sick...
c y'all soon.

btw, i might start a nu warrior thread...

[Zeb]

I'm pretty sure that a new one of these threads will be started within the next couple of weeks. Just to make a fresh start for everyone and to get back to the real reason we're all here, DRAWING IN CLASS (or work...hehe).

Sorry to've been MIA for so long. To much to do, and to little time.

Of course, this thread was supposed to die awhile back. Which is why you haven't seen anything from mr.right in awhile.

Aw well, keep an eye out of Drawing in Class II and keep drawing you crazy kids.

BTW, Mr Frost, you are now king of the pen work. That is amazing.

Yakuza: it is a bit to light to really see. Looks good though. The head is a bit off, were you using a reference? Animals.

Out.

thanks zeb for the kind words :)

First off, Ether, those gestures of the people are VERY good. I like them a lot, keep working like that.

NOTICE: Drawing in Class II will be appearing shortly, and will not carry over ANY images from this thread. So anything you were doing here HAS to STAY here.

So, for those with the wolverine pics and the other misc. stuff, it stays here.

This is a clean slate for everyone, so I'm hoping that more people will get down on it. Classes are starting this week, some have started already, and I know that there are many many people that are apart of this forum that just can't sit through a class and NOT draw. This is what we're here for, to see the drawings you produce when you're supposed to be learning about something.

Wait for the new thread to appear for more information.

And uh, feel free to continue this one as long as you'd like.

Just to let you know though, I'd appreciate it if it started to die.

Out.

Our professors and instructors incourage us to doodle. I had my history teacher ask how many of us in class were doodling while he was giving his lecture, and almost everyone in the class raised their hands. He had no problem and went on saying, "I doodle even when I'm lecturing, I gotta do something to keep my hands busy so I don't seem like I'm figiting." I thought that was pretty cool, then I went back to my drawing. I'll post some sketches from today's class, right now I'm trying to get out of my GD class so I can get to work on some 3D.

I know its sounds wierd but I actualy pay better attention when I am doodling. Mind you just doodeling and not drawing. When I am drawing I would miss a tornado pass by.

[Yakuza]

did this at work, for about 1/2 hour.
