Quack. :v
Bah, I can't draw this! -draws something else-

nooooos! draw the first thing. or ice cream... that would be a fun drawing.

I need more practice with bodies before I can draw it. Otherwise I'll just get frustrated. = 3=
Darn bodies! :illgetu:

Mm ice cream... :drool:

In other news I made an art dump thread. xDDD

wooden mannequins! they so help when figuring out bodies. :)

I named mine Charlie. Idk why...

xDD!! I have a small one. Probably need to break him out.

I was trying to draw something for the CI contest yesterday while at work, but failed epically. :XD;; Might try again later this weekend...

Aww. At least you're trying. :3
I've yet to do anything for that.

I lack the skills to draw a person in a crouching position while aiming with a gun/crossbow/weapon. <_< >_>;; I have it all pictured up in my mind, but when I try to draw it, it becomes a distorted blob of mess. XD

I haven't event attempted mine yet.....but I have something in mind.

@Ted-san: That's pretty much what happens to me. xDDD Dang blobs.

@Cora: Hope it turns out well!

Yeah. I call them stupid blobs of doom and fail. Dx

I just tell myself that I'm not ready for that yet and try again another day. :XD

lol I'd keep on trying and trying until I make a smudge appear onto the paper (the kind you can't erase away unless you erase a hole through the paper) before giving up. :XD

Aww. :lol: I mostly sketch digitally now so it saves on paper. xP

you know, what helped me with blobs at first, was using vine charcoal. just make the whole page a medium gray and erase out the highlights and add in some darks. it worked for me more than breaking down objects into shapes. Actually, that's what helped me do that. I was weird.

I mean for non realistic styles. :XD
Or at least, not that medium.

Yeah, I really need to get one of those drawing pads...I had the guy who brought me my computer pre-install Photoshop for me so I wouldn't have to get it myself again, now I just need a drawing pad so I can start practicing drawing digitally. :XD

Yuss. A tablet! Should be a near future investment. :ninja:
At least you can still color decently with a mouse. xD

I <3 my tablet. so much.

but when I practice its all traditional mediums. pencil, charcoal. pen. i like pen a lot now actually. forces me to slow down and really watch what I'm doing.

Yes, I think that's where my next paycheck shall go...:ninja:
And egads, I hope not anymore! :gonk: My fingers are now in chronic pain from using them so much.

Yeah most of my practicing is done digitally now (after I got Sai on my dsektop). xDDD Sometimes I'll get the urge to do something traditional, but I'm just more relaxed when I work digitally. I'd get too discouraged having to erase over and over or flip to new pages over and over. As was often the case. :gonk:

@Ted-san: Yesss. :eager:
Aww, from work? Or just in general?

My right forefinger and middle finger from using the mouse too much, and my left forefinger from pressing d and e and r too much in Oblivion when moving around. :sweat:
I often wake up in the morning with them feeling sore. Like this morning. :sweat:

Oooh. Too much gaming. :lol:
That's funny because this morning I noticed that both my index fingers were a bit sore and I think that's from my gaming.

Haha, you and me both....:lol:;;
Yeah, I game too much for my own good. :sweat: Too much button-pressing. :XD

I've kept mine to a good uh.... in moderation. :lol:
The controls are still a bit wonky for me, using to things to control the character/direction. And using the L1 and R1 to attack instead of just... the other buttons. :lol:
Our poor fingers...
