Not bad at all!

Thread hi-jack + babelfish + shameless plug = doooom

Pour les curieux, l'enretient vient de Brighton, durant une rencontre entre joueurs et Staff de chez NCsoft. Du coup, les animateurs d'Evo radio ont pu s'entretenir avec Bridger, Rockjaw et WarWitch (qui a une voix absolument... *bave*)

Wanna Learn to Draw? Pick up some life drawing class or go drawing life.

Some of those books are great, most are cheap though. Nothing beats the real thing:

Go out there, armed with a sketch pad and pencil, and constantly draw what you see. Sit in a cafe and draw the people around you, go to the park and draw trees and plants, go to the zoo or a farm and draw animals as they move around, ask a relative or partner to pose for you - naked or dressed - so you get to study the body, clothes and the textures. Go to museums and sit there, on the floor and sketch out those bones...
Remember that if your subjects are moving it's an even better excercise since it forces you to catch that moment in time.
It's cost friendly and the most efficient way of learning/training.

It's all you really need, in essence, to learn how to draw. Those books should come afterwards, when you start thinking about new tools to be using or how to expand using colours (watercolours or copic makers).

Let me get this straight. You'll never get to exagerate superheroes bodies - no matter how much artistic licence you apply - if you don't check the human anatomy first: bones/muscles/limbs...

If you guys are serious about wanting to draw, those are easy steps, easy on the wallet and the best "How to draw anything" technique.

Must... stop.. laughing... xD

Very funny =D specially the doughnut monkeys!!

>>>>Much as I love the manga style, surely there's more to drawing than this??

Yes.

Life drawing and still life...

Get books about those first.

>>>>There is a third Marvel book but I cannot recomend it as a) I haven't got it, b)I'm not sure how good a book is that comes with its own little colouring pens(*snigger) and is stamped 100% Klutz Certified! *hehehe.

Don't get it. It's a simplified version of How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way for kids. Avoid at all costs.

o0;

Maybe I should do a 1400x900 WP then...

Well, I'm chuffed you like it FFM, regardless of the slight colour variation. Honest.

Blackdove, thank you again so much for your feedback!
I'll definitely be re-using the pose of the second attempt. It'll have to be a sexy toon though.. kekeke

DreamWeaver... heh, I wouldn't go that far
^^U

Stupid edit timer...
Can't edit my first post anymore ¬¬
Quickly made a bigger sized wallpaper:
1280x1024

Hmmm.
I thought the base colour was white. And I understood that the sun was probably setting which caused the colours to change slightly.
But I didn't want to take any chances in that area. I went along with what I could see (the light purple, the orange, the white reflections and the negative greys). I crossed paths with miss Ellie once in game at Stasis' party but it never occured to me to double check by taking screens sicne I already had the reference sent by FFM in a folder.
Doh!

The perfect example is the eyes: the face used in game has plain black eyes. I assumed blue would suit it. And I was wrong.. ^^

I could go back and change the eye colour but for the body that would require a total reset of the body layers...

Send in the screenies and I'll see what I can do. But remember I got other people waiting too

@ Foresight:
The pencil pic was just a sketch. It just got a little more attention when I was on the phone at work. Just subconsciouly shading it.


Thanks again for the comments

\o/ *bounces too*

Glad you like it FFM ^^

Thanks all for your comments thus far.

bad, for lack of a better word.

I dissagree.

I think that coloured version is pretty good.

Comparing the two, I get a sense of "fullness" (sorry am tired and can't think of a better word myself).

Me likes ^^

So uhm.. I've been very busy lately.
The "watching anime, leveling up coming from work absolutely wrecked" kind of busy...

Anyhoo, I'm quite happy how this one turned out.


Floating Fat Man's Miss Ellie
The Lineart
The reference

[and a 1024x786 wallpaper variant]
(wasn't pushed resizing the WP too much as it's late... But I'll make a higher version of it one of these nights)

First sketch
Second attempt... (zomg those cat ears >_&lt

Hope you like it. As I said I had much fun doing this one.

Comments, pros/cons, kittens welcome...

Sounds much fun

Ohhh! Shiny!!

Great Idea Gill. Looking forward to trying it out.
Quick question though: This competition is for US and EU players?

Quick bit of googling got me this:

Polykarbon: manga tutorials

manga tutorials.com

sai-manga-tuts

Yup, it's been a year now for the October Creative Genius.

I guess a little more time won't hurt =P

I liked the Rogue one best. Catches the character most.

Unfortunately, what has been said is right. Just don't let it spoil your fun.
