My new play opens at the National Theatre tomorrow and you just think it's "Good"? Good?! What do you know about it? What do you know about getting up at five o'clock in t'morning to fly to Paris, back at the Old Vic for drinks at twelve, sweating the day through press interviews, television interviews and getting back here at ten to wrestle with the problem of a homosexual nymphomaniac drug-addict involved in the ritual murder of a well known Scottish footballer. That's a full working day, lad, and don't you forget it!

Aye, 'ampstead wasn't good enough for you, was it? You had to go poncing off to Barnsley, you and yer coal-mining friends.

I smell hints of Hanna-Barbera and I love them, keep them coming.

And it's fucking ugly and derives all attention from the actual drawing.

I figured it wasnt good enough to submit to the art portal but I might as well through it up in my little art thread anyway and see what other people think.

Get rid of that immensely ugly signature. It's only distracting, ugly and won't prevent thievery in this case. It would be cool if you didn't use geometrical shapes in your drawings so much as well. Digitally using these perfect presets result in an uninteresting, obvious picture. Those buildings could have been drawn by hand, having irregular shapes like satellite dishes, electricity poles... These details would make it hell of a lot more interesting. Same goes for the ground, just draw irregularities you see in real life like rocks and holes.

Are you NG stARTled?

What? I can't help no-one of interest died on this day.

And your pants are fine. Try coloring them. Also, I don't know if you realize it, but your pants go inside the shoes. This could be intentional, but baggy pants that go IN shoes are a pretty big fashion alert.

That woman's hair is very nicely done, but you need to make use of your shading to give the impression where tje bumps of the skeletons are. For example, that woman has a skull to define her face, she needs shading to show off her cheekbones. That monster looks a bit mushy, because all the shading is a tad too smooth on it.

Also try making your background a bit less saturated. It's fighting for attention, but is not a welcome combatant. Good work tho :3

Well, I personally don't think you started this drawing with proportions in mind. You need to start off drawing a basic pose and work your way onward. In this case, you want to make sure the legs are somewhat the size of the body + head. This sketch not only allows you to have more correct proportions but also to not having to draw the legs without pants. I'm not saying my quick sketch here is faultless, but I hope it makes thing clear.

OP, your drawing is but a sketch. At least try your best making it as good as possible. Also, try coming up with original characters, fan-art is fine, but try coming up with an own style of drawing.

Don't be fucking rude, OP asked politely.

Exporting images in flash. Everytime I export a picture with this feature or something, it has a low quality, blury bit-rates...Oh here's an example.

File > Publish Settings > JPEG Image.

Crank the quality up to 100.

Feh, no need to get angry at it, it'll only make it 'special' and 'daring'. Ignore, make better stuff (or in this case, actually make something) and forget about this soap actor's little inside joke.

And THIS is for those who got scared of the cats, left and so missed the homo-erotic dancing.

Or your not on the same layer as the one you're coloring.

If you want a small trick to get rid of this problem: play with the 'close gap' button. You can choose for your drawings to ignore small, medium or large gaps, which is quite useful so you won't have to close every small line.

Select your bucket tool, and click on this small tab.

It's pretty easy; the perspective is off by a mile. OP, if you want to draw these kind of things, always start out with a perspective point. There's tonsof examplesout there, I don't even need to draw it or explain it in great detail, I can just take one drawing from Google to make you understand.

Good job, Luwano and MasterMerol. They're both friggin' ossim.

j-qb's robot, Peglay's orange one and Renae's are the final ones we need. j-qb and Nae; I haven't seen anything from you 2 yet, drop me a message if you're still in or not. Just need to know, so we can start organizing the overview screen.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

We thank you for your participation in this collab, we are going at it Godspeed right now. There's still a couple of you who haven't sent in their parts separately, or ones who are drawing those final touches; we need your drawings NOW. Do send them in NOW. We can not spend all time waiting for you.

List of people you should stalk, I mean redirect to us whose parts we are eagerly waiting for:
j-qbn MasterMerol, Peglay, Renaenae, Luwano

If you do not have the parts (anymore), no issues, I still love you, but please do tell us.

I've always wondered why you don't you all three of your accounts more often while blatantly being the one person. You know, just to absolutely fuck with people.

I'm not fucking with anyone.

Happy FP, lovebirds.

Also, happy name-change, Kashi.

Meh, in the end, it's training. It's always more polite to say you did tho.

If you're talking about Jackson Pollock, you're completely ignorant. The words "I can do that too" are possibly the most respectless, filthy words to have ever been combined when it comes to art.

He put the complex chaos of his soul into his work, you put deadmau5 in yours. See the artistic contrast? Art is a movement of pure honesty where you often have to ask yourself the question why you do what you do. This was not-thought-through training. Don't lie, you picked up your tools and decided; "feh, I'm going to make random circles" without giving a real fuck about the placement, colours or composition. Jackson Pollock threw his paint since that's how he felt at that time. His sort of chaos could only be achieved on a painting by using that specific technique.

I like this thread and you people should get drawing for it.
