Re: Fan Art
I agree, your sketchbook is...wow. I wish i could draw that good.
I just finished drawing some bunnies attacking a bear. Ill post it later when I'm finished coloring it.

Re: Fan Art
Thanks! I'm trying to draw at least a little each day. Whenever I go for too long without drawing I notice my skills start slipping. Looking forward to that bear.
Starting out with a rough sketch, showing some lines of action, and a kind of blocky version of what you plan to do later is also always a good idea, if I had taken my own advice on that one I might have been able to avoid the backwards legs on my first picture.
I use alot of reference material. For birds I've looked at Audobon prints, for animals I really like this Drawing Wildlife book I have by J.C. Amberlyn (I have another one called Animal Drawing by Charles R. Knight but I don't think its quite as good), I'm kind of a bonsai fanatic as well so for trees I have a pretty nice library to reference. Google images works nicely too if you don't feel like laying out cash. I'm not suggesting doing photocollage paint-overs - though I have done some of those just for fun for The Secret World - but getting a nice group of photos together can really take some of the guess work out of how to draw particular details.Chainsaw man wrote: OMG! I love that Feline! (Squirls cool too, but im crazy about cats)
Can you give me any tips on Drawing Anthros?

This is one of my biggest problems, and also one of the reasons I got so much better once I started doing contract work full time.resin wrote: Thanks! I'm trying to draw at least a little each day. Whenever I go for too long without drawing I notice my skills start slipping.

Re: Fan Art

Re: Fan Art
Nice! Regarding the bear, I think some the problems your having are from drawing him face-on, if he were slightly turned it would make it much easier to show depth and he wouldn't seem to flatten out as much. Something for another drawing obviously. Rabbits are looking good!hamish_123 wrote:Im not very happy with the bear....but i like this much more than the other.
I did some inking on the Ninja Squirrel and Cat:
I like it like this, except that I need to make the mist more evident, but I might try to color it just to see what I can do.

Re: Fan Art
Yes, and then you shall draw more squirrels *hypnotizing ray*
(and the shading looks great, by the way =) )
Hamish: suicide rabbits? And, well, you really like to draw that blood don't you? I'm not sure what you're using to color but perhaps you could give a shade or two to the blood... I dunno... it does seem a little bright =P
But yeah... rabbits must have lost the will to live.

Nice bear Hamish. Pretty cool scene.
It is cool watching the progress on the cat picture too.
Nice work!
