Crayola coloured pencils! (our school's poor.)

O_o in that pic it looks like watercolor almost to me. Very nice

[ndchristie]

prismacolors are nice if you can get ahold of them.

Out of curiousity, are you using the whole box of colors?  A great excercise is to use only the 3 primaries, white, and graphite.  Soooooo much fun

[Stwelin]

Yeah, i have some prismacolor pencils actually, but we were not told about the project before the day we started, and i didn't want to fall behind, so i just decided to tough it out. Didn't want to harm the consistancy.

Yeah, i am using the entire box of colors, I kind of regret it now, but eh... there is always next time. (half of the projects we've done so far have been in colored pencil.  )

Buccaneer and wench, finding treasure.

Whatever school you're going to, it's doing a good job on making you stretch style-wise.

Ah yes, that'd be Basemen T. Dweller's Academy of Derative Arts. Great school, if you ask me.  Anyway, thanks for the edit! I see now that I misread and misunderstood your first post, hence the confusion. I'll redraw the leg once I go through this months drawings.

More nice-nice stuff from you, junkboy

For this latest one though i have two concerns.  Visually, the treasure chest is falling back behind the characters, although it is supposed to be in front of them.  it lacks focus and blends into the background which creates that visual confusion.
the onther concern si that your background might cut off too quickly up in the left corner.  it could probably be a bit thicker.  i think right now you may have wanted to draw attention away from it(?) be making it narrow, but it actually right now is unbalanced which creates tension and discomfort.  could jsut be me but i think if it were a bit more solid it would be less distracting.

I finished this one yesterday:

(The characters are Vicki Eden's Angle Shooters. They are "the top thieves, con artists, and regular all-round scoundrels in the Kingdoms of the Sun". From top left; Ranger, Avis, Darrell, and Nilessa. Here at the breakfast table.)


I'm trying to learn perspectives and stuff right now. I know it's not my strong side. Tried out two-point perspective here... Looking at it now, I'm afraid that Ranger may be a bit too big for the perspective.

seeing the word lycanthropy and a lizard together strikes me as odd somehow

[GOODNIGHTdestroyer]

Lycanthropy is just the name of my Art Site, it doesn't actually mean i'm going to draw a bunch of werewolves. Haha.

And I don't know if it is a lizard, it's just a random monster thing. Some people say it resembles a catfish, but i don't see it.

lycanthropy doesn't exactly mean that they have to turn into werewolves do they?

unless that's just DnD where you can be a wererat :0
