I'm sure that alot of NewGrounds users want your help too. So I'm asking you a favour for NewGrounds. And for me..

Im not trying not to help anyone, i just don't know what to say to people more than i say everytime someone asks; Learn from real life and practise as much as you can learn from your misstakes and so on. Thats the way i learnt, no short cuts.

Im sorry but i really don't know how to describe my progress, it has no real structure, i do what ever feels right in each picture.

Hope that answer don't bring you down. If you pratcise and draw stuff from real life alot you really get better.

You know your art is really good when people are jealous of your doodles.

Awesome stuff!

I have nothing to teach anyone but the importance of practising and studying. I wouldnt be able to do a good tutorial.

Reminds me of Boris from Goldeneye! Great colors, its very interesting to see a flash picture that looks more like a painting than a cartoon, very nice as always!

Haha thank you, i was trying to do something with a more sketchy look.

Heres a new doodle-thing. I've realised i can't paint faces like i want to, i want to get personality and a realistic feeling, and when i fail to do that i just turn them into things like this, it sucks.

You should always compare yourself even sometimes get jelous..helps push yourself along, and I don't see why you can't be pleased with what you create, you seem to have anatomy down to a tee, your facial builds are spot on, yet you strive for more.

I guess striving is a good thing but it can eat away at you =[

No offence but i really don't think you understand what problems i have, the anatomy and such ain't my problem, its the overall feeling and emotion in each image i lack.

Response to LaserKarls Art Thread 2008-01-13 16:07:49


I think I see your problem. When I end up with a sketch that's beyond rescue, I just delete it and start over. I believe that everytime i fail with a drawing, I learn something from that mistake and it will help me gain a better result with the next one.
First I was gonna suggest studying faces, but that can fucking bore me to tears, so I suggest next time you fail with something just erase it and move on.

Your art looks better than ever though I must say.

Aww.. Gunther, I think your art is plenty moody, it makes me feel something and it makes me think. Maybe you're not able to express exactly what you want, but that's really just the way of an artist. The minute you become totally satisfied with your art is the minute you stop being an artist, in my mind.

I've started to use photos as reference, it helps somewhat, but i need to paint more from real life to get that realistic lightning.

Thank you, glad to hear it. Especially from one of the kings of the art forum ;P

I have the same way on seeing it, but i've been at the same level of feeling in my stuff for what feels like ages, i need to take another step forward.
