Your Drawings

Another great picture, Roel.

 

Actually, although it is a gret picture and the guy's expression does credit to the situation, I do have a slight criticism.

His hand looks wrong - too shortened.

Otherwise - great!

 

She is quite right, I don't like using B or softer pencils. They may make darker shadows but they tend to be more irregular as well, and the difference in texture I find is noticeable on larger surfaces. Other causes of a "lightening" of the shadows are scanning and the annyoing fact that I always brush over my own drawing when drawing it.

Ricky: his hand is still partially up his sleeve, I can see what you mean if you don't consider this detail.

I will probably be re-shading this one anyway, Panzerman advised me that in order to look more exhausted the soldier should have more shading under the eyes.

 

very good details. i love the helmet with the cuts made by the enemy swords

 

And again, some shading done with B pencil this time (thanks Notmi's girlfriend).

 

Hmmm, the shadows look too dark...

Only kidding!

 

I can't really tell what his expression is supposed to convey.
But if I had never seen a veteran before, I sure have now.
How long did it take you to draw all that chainmail?!

 

Thanks!

Re: chainmail - too long. Remember I had to draw it twice, first in pencil to make sure it would fit & look all right, and then again in fineliner. :cry:

 

better to work slow and good then fast and bad

 

Darn - I got bored waiting for the next 'Nameless War' episode and started reading the 'Black Paladin' tales. Abd now I'm anxiously awaiting the next instalment of that, too!

Ebar, it's all your fault, you annoyingly talented writer you! :evil:

:lol:

 

Well here a sollution pay me €3000 a month and I'll be able to quit work and consontrate on the writing.


Alternatively try reading the Job Offer since it is finished.

 

Sure - I've got plenty of spare cash...
*wakes up*

Already done that - I had hoped that reading a complete saga set would work. Sadly not...

 

Well the next thing to turn up will be a couple of support pictures. I put them up to be posted about a month ago. Unfortunately, of late, trying to get stuff through the moderation queue is a bit like watching evolution at work, except slightly slower.

:angry: :kill:

 

Some new starship pictures.

Ahhhhh....

that fix should last me a week or two...



Nice pics & potted history Ebar.

 

Havent posted many of my drawings lately, so heres a few newer ones that I've done.
Heres a US soldeir firing a bazooka, done from a photo (some minor problems)

Italian Soldeir, I know, the face looks like he got hit with a shovel

And finally, I was able to do this one freehand!

 

The one you did freehand is very good, keep it up!

 

Good shading of the folds in the cloth.

 

CrazyThumbs - very nice!

I do get jealous sometimes... I'll have to post some of my GCSE artwork on here!

 

If it's worth a look, it's worth a look.

(That is probably the most valuable comment ever! What I mean is, by all means, post it all!)

I figured that most of my drawings could do with a little bit more contrast and expression. This is perhaps a bit much...
