Movement WIP

Posted Oct 9, 2011, 10:32:01 PM UTC

I'm no artist, I'm a writer. But, I like to doodle even if it's not great. And these are all part of this Maddie is trying to get better a poses and movement sketch dump. I'll be finishing them when I get a bit more time.

    Art is all about practice- just like writing is. Keep up the passion and practice and you'll be doing more than doodles- trust me ^^ There's a solid start here Yes

      Thank you so much! I do have a few sketchbooks that are getting filled up but that's mostly because as soon as I have a pen/pencil and paper I HAVE to draw.

        It's good practice! Lots of sketches is a great way of improving. Do finish ones you like though. I have a friend who does AWESOME sketches, but he doesn't finish anything... or hadn't till I started whining at him heaps >.> Before then he was all just inks. Awesome inks, but no colour. Now he adds just colour washes. IT's something, but unless you practice it, you wont get better, and I know my art suffers from poor colour. Colour isn't a magic wand that makes art better Sad (Wish it was)

          I doodle a lot, ahah! Yes I like making you know those sketches where there are so many lines and but so much movement. And then sometimes I ink them and I find I like my sketches so much better because there is LIFE in them you know? Yeah, I sketch a lot, but I've only colored other people stuff. You know, sometimes what your friend does works for a piece, but really for every piece...

          I wish, ahah. I used to think you just slap some random color on it, and BAM AMAZING PIECE. Nope, lol.

            I learnt in grey scale so colour is particularly hard for me. Also because my eyesight is pretty crap and colour/shape warps for me. Drawing is hard let alone colour. And colour has all those factors- hue, luminosity, saturation, hot and cold, atmospheric distortions, reflections... Urgh T.T So much to learn. Done well though... man.
            • Oct 20, 2011, 10:10:24 PM UTC
              Well, you could use the grayscale to transform it into color.
              One of my friends color like this: http://www.dokuga.com/images/gallery/originals/others_4/monoship1_20110204_1039105193.jpg
              and then she selects part by part and messes with hue, saturation brightness etc, to get this; http://www.dokuga.com/images/gallery/originals/others_4/ship1_20110205_1798704254.jpg

              I don't know if it would work for you! but, lol a suggestion!

                I've seen alot of people colour in that style and it's good for getting a result fast, but colour isn't as simple as recolouring grey scale stuff. If you're bad at colour choice (like me) in the first place then no method will really work well. That, and tablet pens are weird to draw with. Have you used one? It's... strange. There's no texture, and the responses a pencil has are so varied while a table pen is so linear. It's not a medium I've grown to enjoy using yet Sad So far my digital art is either colour between the lines [thumb29090] , Screentone Art thumbnail , colourisation (where I let my pencils do all the shading and just ad colour underneath the pencil layer) [thumb27664] , or vector [thumb27320]. My least favourite is colouring between the lines cause it requires too much tablet work XD Screentone is tolerable, and vector is more about what the vectors do than colour variation. I've tried grey scale to colour gradients like Yuni does via gradient maps (like your friend does, but with gradient maps so if you make changes, you don't have to repick colours http://yuni.deviantart.com/gallery/23677136#/d10lhdf but I find myself losing interest really fast and it comes up with really weird colours sometimes.

                Thanks for the suggestion though Smile It's a technique which makes it easier, but my biggest issue is disliking the medium in the first place, and my lack of colour understanding T.T I'm much happier with traditional media in my hand TBH Sad I just wish they scanned better XD

    I agree with May... You should keep working on them. You're better at capturing movement than I am X3

      Thank you! And your drawings are great, and you're good at expressions, I can't do those, lol.
      • Oct 20, 2011, 5:10:06 AM UTC
        What you do is take lots and lots of photos X3 if you have a computer with a webcam, pose with different expressions and draw them off that n.n Tis how I learned
        • Oct 20, 2011, 5:16:23 AM UTC
          You know, I have never thought about doing that! Thank you! Ahah, I'm about to spam my computer with webcam pictures lol!
