Bee Hoon Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Intimidated by all the awesome art you see posted here? Ashamed of your scribblings and gripped by the urge to hide them in a dark corner, never to be seen again? Fear no more, because the art thread for n00bs is here! (Well, assuming it's allowed:)) The basic idea I had here, was to provide a place where n00bs like me could share and discuss artwork of any medium (preferably KotOR related) without getting publicly humiliated. This is based on the premise that we've all tried drawing, but are too embarassed to show the piece to anyone, which is exactly why I think a thread like this should exist. Of course, only constructive criticism should be given here. I can't draw to save my life, but I'd love to learn. If the pro artists would so kindly drop in once in a while to give us tips, it'd be greatly appreciated! This would only work with your support, so aye or nay?
REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 I'm going with aye, although my skills don't help much around here, I can give you advice on the technical drawing side. I suck with freehand people, plants etc. though.
Quanon Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 I would gladdly help other fellows with their skills I might sound a bit like a "fat head" ; but I have some skill with my pensel . I good at character and monster stuff , but not so good at architectural stuff . I work a bit to messy for that .
Bee Hoon Posted June 21, 2007 Author Posted June 21, 2007 RJM, thanks! Any help would be greatly appreciated! (Btw, finally figured out that nifty pm/whisper function in the chatroom. Hehe) Quanon, good to hear that, because I only ever draw with a (mechanical) pencil. It's a bad habit, but I'm just too lazy to carry regular 2B pencils around:P Note: I don't have a scanner, so I used my mobile phone camera to take the pictures:X Here's a quick drawing of everyone's favourite scoundrel that I did during an excessively boring lecture. I love auto adjust in Photoshop. Click here! (Couldn't seem to get it to show the thumbnail instead as was shown by stoffe. Hm. And a lightsaber pic that was inspired by a fanfic idea I've been chewing on for a while. It's supposed to be two different people, which should explain the difference in the size of the hands. Modeled by my hands and my mobile phone:P Auto adjusted again, with a bit of cleaning up within the lightsaber beam.
Quanon Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 Wow : Beehoon that looks really great ! THose hands are pretty accurate , looks like you got some talent there Atton looks good to ; just a shame that photo looks a bit grainy , but the drawing looks pretty good already . The only thing I could advise is that you make sure there's enough light when you take a photo of your drawings . So keep it coming the more you draw and practice the better you get .
mailboris Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 hey thats really good! im surprised you say you cant draw...thats dead good it is! keep it up...carry on wit self modelled art....it seems to be working just fine
Bee Hoon Posted June 22, 2007 Author Posted June 22, 2007 Quanon, thanks! Hehe, I think I overestimate the capabilities of my macro mode:P I'll keep practicing! mailboris, hehe, you of all people should know how bad I can draw at times! Thanks:)
Bee Hoon Posted July 10, 2007 Author Posted July 10, 2007 A quick update... A sketch of Disciple and a really crappy photo of something I drew while waiting for the Sims 2 to load:P I am too lazy to resize it:P Onoez, whoever made Kavar's hair so freaking hard to draw?? It looks like a vegetable, for heaven's sake. The girl's hair should be dark, and I'll do it when I feel like it. All the lines need darkening and I really should use a proper camera and not the phone one. And stop using a mechanical pencil:P
Bee Hoon Posted July 20, 2008 Author Posted July 20, 2008 ^^ Thanks (belatedly). Since Mass Effect keeps hanging halfway through the endgame sequence (cryyyyyyyyyyyyy!), have a Commander Shepard! ...and a random kiddy I doodled during an exceedingly boring lecture on hepatitis. Picture quality for both are kinda bad, but oh well:P Ignore the ghostly face to the left in the first pic. I do promise to go out and buy a good eraser >.<
Arcesious Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 I can draw pretty well... Too bad I don't have a camera or a scanner...
Arcesious Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 I suppose I could borrow my dad's camera... Although it's quite old... Hopefully iit's got good enough digital capability to take a good picture. I can't draw people or 'living' things, but I certainly can draw ships... But only at certain angles... I still don't have that '3D ship drawing' skill a lot of people have very well...
TheExile Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Here are some sketches of some sith lords: 1 This one is of the Sith species: 2 This Sith Lord is a she!
Bee Hoon Posted July 21, 2008 Author Posted July 21, 2008 Quanon, mm? Should I be saying yay? TheExile, the female Sith Lord reminds me of Kreia for some reason, but she looks more bloodthirsty and such. More Sith-like than our favourite old crone:P
Quanon Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Quanon, mm? Should I be saying yay? I'll join the club Its euh still in WIP though...
Astor Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 This is the last thing I drew, my attempt at a superhero (about a year ago):
Bee Hoon Posted July 23, 2008 Author Posted July 23, 2008 Quanon, I love the colours! He's so gaunt and supermodel-ish Astor_Kaine, I know it's off on a tangent, but the first thing that came to mind was "THE AMBIGUOUSLY GAY DUO!" >.<
Quanon Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Quanon, I love the colours! He's so gaunt and supermodel-ish Well, it was a she, but I hate big booby things, and I went for some loose upper clothing, which make it look rather as a he
Bee Hoon Posted July 23, 2008 Author Posted July 23, 2008 Oops, sorry, my mistake:p Hehe, I don't really like big chest appendages either, but I've never seen a female of that species (what was it? Iridonian?). We've only ever seen Darth Maul and Bao-Dur!
Astor Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Uhh...yeah.. big appendages are a bit silly - they really should be in proportion with the rest of the person. Anyhoo, i've been spending the morning practicing with my pencil. I printed out an outline, and had that next to a blank page, and have so far come up with this: I know very little about clothing and drawing it, so does that look realistic?
Bee Hoon Posted July 23, 2008 Author Posted July 23, 2008 Her nose and mouth seem a little out of alignment. Some of the lines (depicting the folds of fabric) at the armpit and on the pants bother me, but I can't really say why :/ Other than that, nice work!
