Hehe #3 looks like Sailor Moon TA :P

Oh man.... I'm sorry Kat I'm no where near that skill level. What I could offer in return would be doing you a complete and total injustice!!!!

How bout hawt cyb0rz in exchange?

Squirrel you're my hero now too

I'll have your pic in trade later this afternoon :P

well that and my PM box is full but there's a half a million other ways to get in contact with me

but yes it would be more polite to ask and get agreement on art trade first rather than say do it do it nooow!
:P

Urm... which lot would that be?

DJ you're my hero!!!

LOL your avatar TA.... that's very suggestive :P

A list!!!

Aww grats y'all.

Looking forward to seeing them Thistle!

*so confused now*

Well I know there's like Chicken feet and things like that so i dunno...

maybe only in soviet russia, squrriel eats you! :P

Awww but then I wouldn't be unique. I KNOW! I'll wear CLOTHES while everyone ELSE is nakie! Ha!

finish it and post tomorrow, CL. *nods*

Now we just need to get those artists to come visit the forums! :P

Why is this thread losing replies? >.>

Because in China, they EAT squirrels!!!

(i'm guessing)

Why would I be done with Rox? He didn't do anythign to me.
I'm not even IN the picture!

Yes. That was one of our early assignments in art class too, the shaded boxes. Though we did 9 boxes not 5.

What you do after you draw out the boxes, you make the very last one as blackity black as you can make it with pencil. Then you do the middle one and make it an even value that is what you guess to be half way between that darkity dark and the other end which will be paper-white. Then you pick the boxes halfway between that middle value and the dark, and make that box half the value between. And so forth til you fill in all the boxes.

O.o What?

Of course they bury them through the summer so they can have food for the winter.

Well of course... How else do you think squirrels eat?

no! do shapes first!!!!!!!

Human body is one of the most difficult things to draw!

Do shapes! Then do a human body MADE up of those shapes? Like cylinders and boxes and spheres, you may have seen sketches like that.

NO i don't PL! I merely offer team support

Yeah remember when I started Derek! I was one of the many people who ALWAYS said I couldn't even draw a stick figure!!!!

Heck I -still- say that even though I know better. Granted I have a long way to go but I'd say I have improved a great deal. Just gotta try new things and even it if doesn't work out you've learned something too!

I think you might be like me. You want perfection from the FIRST moment you put down the pencil. Weeeeelll ain't gonna happen. Someone once told me that you have to push through 100 bad drawings for every 1 good one.

I'm still on drawing #10 or so

Exactly!

What you need to do is set up a still life, and stare at it for a while. See where the shadows are falling from your light source. See where there is reflected light. It is really hard to explain in text.

Like I did there (well ignore that stupid square under the handle, my prof told me to put that there so i did, i don't understand it).

I'd say start with simple shapes and figure out how to shade those. Cube, Cylinder, Cone, and Sphere.
Shapes!
(but again, I don't understand the shading on the back side of the cube, it should really be flipped around but... eh, that's the way professor wanted it, but since you're not in a class you can do whatever you want )

And apolgies for the crummy camera phone pictures, the shading IS more indepth than all of that.

But give it a try!

I wanted to. I vaugely remember the 'old' days in the.. 80s? with the show. Heck I think I even had the board game. But I don't think the show ever came on at a time when I could watch, and I don't have a Tivo
