Look at it like a language; you can say the same things in dutch as you can say in english; but theyre still different. Sure it limits you in some ways; if you really feel strongly about that check up some dadaist poetry. Still at the same time; language enables you to say what you want.

were those the gay guys?

I agree with johnathan on this one; What Id like to add is that you shouldnt force a style on yourself. If you force yourself to work in a certain style it will limit your creativity.
A style has to be something that comes naturally; its a way to express something.

fringe shift is askew.... you should skew it a bit (free transform>skew) so that it lines up with the tape a bit better.

Much thanks dewd. :D I appreciate the comment!

Here's a picture I've been working on for a little while. :)

shit is dark dude; why not draw something happy for a change? nice vivid colors; flowers; rainbows.
also; I think most artists here on the forum dislike drawing lips (except for ben obviously) but you have found the best way around such a minor inconvenience!

very nice character though.

Neat0 Tutorial

I think what you see here is someone having a more or less right idea, but poor execution... I mean; the blurring looks awfull, the fonts are cliche....

I do hope that you include the timestamp when you submit this work. It might be the most movel, refreshing Idea I have seen in such cross-medium art since july 16th 2002.

I like this; nice lightning. Biggest point is that he seems to be dancing; but his face is a bit too relaxed for him to be dancing. So it kinda makes him look like hes in some kind of trance, which makes it less cool... I cant shake that newage stuff.

I'm a bit confused on a few things though. Like how would I use a storyboard to make an animation sequence? What are the best tecniques for storyboarding? Here is my current one I'm working on. I'll also show a piece of the story in which this is covering.

Adam Philips (brackenwood series) did a 33 part youtube tutorial on this

Id been wondering where youd gone. good to have you back

Over the summer break Im hoping to set up a Tee Shirt brand,

im guessing your shirt design are going to be very different from what you posted in here? Cause you have to take printing and stuff into account. simple graphics work much better than complex ones on shirts.
Id love to see what youve planned.

Heres a simple sketch and some really quick colouring i did for a self promo project we were set this semester.

Nice

You put it very unfortunately. Jagondudo doesnt win because of his name, he wins because his drawings are just great. Dont blame the guy for competing. If you think its unfair competition, blame Toas for letting him enter.

Well... Not 'need' but improve if there were one..?

I just don't want this to be like the Sketchbook tour series (I realise it has in the passed). But if there were a voice actor, would it appear as a big 'rip-off'?

I think it would

very nice!

cook , (Art Portal)

Cool concept, scary as hell, but could use more details/refining.

Kinsei01 , (Art Portal)

Ive never in my life possessed a sockmonkey; so this just doesnt resonate with me. Nice Hard shading.

Bullonier

same as cook basically; It seems a bit flat, the colors could be more atmospheric.

Breaktroll

cool, but could have had more contrast/darkness... bit bland atm.

jagundudo , (Art Portal)

what is to be said about it; marvelous as alwaysl Great job. YOU GET MY VOTE

Dalenbourg , (Art Portal)

It doesnt really look like a shadow lurker to me... Could use more detail and refinement. bit messy linework in places.

Grumpytom , (Art Portal)

Really comicy; hard to critique; shading is a bit off. good for what it is though.

Zanezansorrow

Too abstract for me. Id rather you had just focused on one figure instead of all the shazam you added now.

DooDooMeaT , (Art Portal)

nice, cool twist to the topic. Looks a tad rushed though; definitely not your best work.

Zerothief , (Art Portal)

obligatory gay joke... Good entry, my no.2 I think. Very solid linework, but thats its main strengt. there is a lot for you to gain in coloring/shading

and now results for Chow #34 goddess

Congrats all!

At 3/23/10 03:21 PM, Ashman wrote: ok you work a lot different to me, but since i do lineart in my work its understandable, yours is kinda painting, but with me i have either each section on a different layer, or each colour on a different layer, the shading i do over the colouring, same layer just lock transparent pixels so i dont go off,

Yeah I do that for my cartoony/lineart pics too. I have to add though that I dont have a set way of going about it; I normally dont have so many layers; then again, I dont normally have so complex shapes. e.g. Animals are generally one color, without distinct seperate parts. When drawing a bird I might make a new layer for the beak and eye, but that`d be it.
For this drawing I decided; If im gonna split it up; I might as well do it right.

looks good though, nice to have an insight into how others work.

Thanks, and yeah thats why I put this up.

sorry; im old news
