So, since Darth Sirius started an Art thread, I thought I should show you some of my stuff I did lately too - constructive criticism of course is desired.

 

Alright, here're some pictures I drew with pencil and graphite chalk:

 

At this point I didn't have a scanner yet, so forgive the bad image quality...

A Knight sitting on his horse

 

Right now that shows only some basic line work, but I might render him at some time in future.

Old Man

 

That's a portrait of the french artist Gustave Courbet that I just drew yesterday.

Gustave Courbet

 

 

Here's some Painter work (drawn with Wacom Intuos 3):

 

That's right, a friggin' apple, based on a photo reference.

An apple

 

And to retain the tension, here are two friggin' tomatos! Actually, that's the work I'm most proud of... because of the natural colour range and overall composition. :)

The Tomatos

 

There I tried to draw my hand (with moderate success), inclusive the injury on my thumb.

Hand

 

 

That's an eye based on a tutorial. That was a more challenging task than it actually seems at first....

A beautiful eye

 

That's a speedpainting that only should suggest atmosphere.

City Scape

 

 

WIP/3D Art:

 

A Car coachwork.

Car coachwork

 

That's a landscape I did some time ago, inclusive a complex shader-network that fakes impressionistic painting style...

Landscape

 

That's a short preview render I did for a buddy (he might use the final composition later in his amateur movie). A coat floating in the wind... [~ 3MB, Divx required].

Animated Coat

 

 

Well, that's it (for now). I think you already know my old 3D stuff, like the trolls and the normal map examples, so I didn't include them here. Use the search if you feel to marvel my old crap... :lol:

I see the sheer excitement of the audience here is dazzling, so I thougt I should add a little piece I just finished: A hand, modeled in Maya via subdivisions. :)"

Great stuff, the city scape is very impressive :)

Lay down your fancy tablet and get back to lifedrawing and studying anatomy.

Nothing to add there; moving along...

I wish I could do stuff like those. :thumbsup: Do you do any D&D art?

I have to agree and say that your pencil drawn art is much better than your tablet stuff... but maybe I'm just old fashioned that way... :thumbsup:"

Here's another piece I've just finished recently...

 

A ballerina, drawn with (digitally) coloured pencils and pastel, with the pose based on a picture reference.

A beautiful Ballerina

 

Although it doesn't look like much, I can guarantee that it was a hell of work!

I hope you like the choice of colours and the overall proportions!

Is it just mee, or do the legs look somewhat short? Good work anyhow.

Don't know, I think they're right. Besides, balltet dancers do have short legs, don't they? :ph34r:

Not those who I know.

Really, that lifedrawing stuff would help a lot. You'd probably improve your anatomy and get some much needed dynamic in your drawings.

So you think the proportions look ugly? Understanding anatomy isn't something you learn from today up to tomorrow.

I just started drawing recently so I've still tons of things to learn. Though your concerns about the "bad" anatomy are notated.

 

However, if you have some useful tips/resources or some examples of your own work to show, I'd love to see it!

Well, that avatar is a start.

I personally don't see anything wrong with the proportions, but I'm not exactly an artist myself so I'm probably not the best person to critically evaluate your work... I think she's pretty :thumbsup:

MORGOTH MADE MY SIG!

 

I WANT HIS BABIES!!!

No, that's an awesome website.

 

You're just upset because I caught your typo before you fixed it. :p

I normally edit my posts for typos, but you did in fact catch me.

 

There are recipes on that website, btw.

My fastus editering skills are uncontested.

 

You missed the typo in the very post above you!

I figured "not" was intentional.

Ooh, you're good.

Okay, Servant, your new sig gives me the eebie jeebies.

Which is precisely why you should you be drawing things from life and making various studies instead of trying to make finished pieces with tablet and funky virtual painting programs.
