It's always been a big part of my life, mostly traditional art though. I've done a few digital projects, started out with MSpaint like 12 years ago and i've moved my way up to Photoshop. I really want to get a tablet before I do anything really serious though, any suggestions? I've been taking art classes ever since they were available to me, and i'm pretty excited that next year (my senior year) i can do an independant study since i've already gone through all the drawing/painting classes. In my high school, one of the options for an advanced diploma is a) taking three years of one language, or b)taking every art class they have. Of course i chose the latter, as suck at languages and yea. Anyways, i've taken ceramics, printmaking, jewlery, video production, sculpture, and all that's left is photography i think. I really want to go to school for this when i'm out of high school, but I haven't really researched any schools. Again, any suggestions?

I have a realistic style but at the same time it's kind of cartoonish. Example:

^although this was meant to be a bit cartoonish, but it's the only example i have that's already uploaded.

anyways, (i'm starting to ramble) if you like to draw or if you appreciate art even in the slightest, post! (ie: favorite artist/style of art/medium, whatever) and if you have any art work you'd like to share, by all means show it off if it's not too much trouble!

I should actually do this, since i have like no experience with muscles at all. Which is odd >_> You would think i would at least have done some body studies with all the art classes i've taken, but nope. I'll get on it as soon as I stop being lazy

Your drawing is kind of creeping me out. But in a good way. I kinda wish I could see more of your work.

My favorite style artwork is German Expressionism. Because it's cool. I don't know what's a good school for the arts. I took a drawing class in college and hated everyone I met there.

I draw. I can draw on traditional medium, but it never comes out the way I see it in my head, so I use the "point to point" tool on my computer and things come out more like how I imagine. I'd describe my artwork as cartoony and my family tells me I'm demented. I'm not ashamed to admit I drew Harry Potter fanart for a few years...

You should know that amongst the few HP fans aware of my existance, I was known as a "Crack" artist, basically meaning my drawings were all bullshit. My most well-received drawing was one I submitted in an art exchange where the lady asked for a drawing of Snape on a Unicorn, and I gave her this:



Yeah. I don't know why this happened.

There have been many versions of Snape on a Unicorn since, but I'll have you know mine was the original.

The last Potter book pissed me off, I ragequit the internet. Once the anger subsided, I started playing neopets again and I've recently gotten back into drawing, which I credit fully to jcrgirl because she inspired me and I'm being sincere.

[fxckyouguys]

that's pretty sexy, hahaha. it reminds me of some shit i found on google when i was looking for some unicorn ref. pics. Here....be warned, it's pretty odd.

Spoiler

that's obama btw.

i'll pm you my DA account, i don't wanna post it here since it has the same name as one of my neo accounts.

What about the Deathly Hollows pissed you off? The "Happy Ever After"?

Edit: I don't have any scanners but If I drew my art would probably look something like this..




But I do like to edit images for fun.

Spoiler

It was actually just the entire series as a whole that ended up pissing me off, to be honest, and at the end of it all, to think I'd wasted so much money and TIME OMG SO MUCH TIME on a really shitty story that wasn't even written well, that some ugly English lady pulled out of her ass every coupla years just to read Snape get killed by a snake in a bubble and then have his memories watched by Harry who discovers Snape wanted to bone his mom, then Harry kills a fetus and Bellatrix stabs Dobby in the heart lol, and then and then, Wormtail's wanking silver hand kills him for some reason, and then they live happily ever after except Fred or George Weasley because one of them died, and ALBUS SEVERUS and.. and...

OH NO!!!

I'M TURNING INTO THE HULK!!!

I'd rather not talk about it, actually.

Even *I* think that Obama on a Unicorn is crazy. LOL @ Noit requesting drawings of male nudity.

Stick figure drawings take talent. It's harder to convey emotion with stick figures.

you shoulda seen my art teachers face when she realized i was checkin out naked obama on a unicorn. if you google it, there's a TON more. it's crazy.

anyways, i just dug up this really old MSpaint ixi day submission. The whole thing was done with a mouse, i tried really hard to make the lines amazing. This was before I discovered the line tool in paint, and also before I found out what tablets were and that people used them to create perfect lines ._.' anyways, i think it's pretty good for my art skill at the time...this was like, when i was in 6th or 7th grade. About 5-6 years ago o__o

Wow do you use a tablet or just using the mouse?

I've never had a tablet, and i've never used one. I really want one though.

Oh my god... you use mouse?
I HAVE to learn that too so I can dominate every Neopian Times... Mwahahaha

Well like I said earlier, this was before I knew tablets existed lol
once i found out about them i slowed down with digital art quite a bit, i don't think i'll ever get back into it unless i get a tablet
it's such a pain in the ass to draw with a mouse, since it's so hard to keep it steady and get a clean line.

Yeah I agree @.@ My mouse drawings are ugly

[luvsmyncis]

HURR DURR!! 

it's such a pain in the ass to draw with a mouse, since it's so hard to keep it steady and get a clean line.

That's why I use the "Point to Point" line tool in Paint Shop Pro. It's tedious, and takes forever, but it gives me the clean lines I want. I've pretty much become accustomed to click click clicking for hours on end. I find it's a great alternative for people who can't draw freehand lines with a mouse.

[fxckyouguys]

Well i suggest the line tool in paint :3 It amazed me when i discovered it! Also color replacement tool. My art work on paint immediately became a billion times better after i learned how to use those.

Here's a really good tutorial for paint. The artist is freaking amazing.

Those are really really good for mspaint, much better than anything that I can do in paint photoshop or well anything for that matter....

i'm sure everyone here that's saying this might be fairly decent if you guys tried i mean sometimes i suck at drawing too, either i can't think of anything to draw or i can't get it how i want it to look. idk. just takes time/practice

[Xwee]

Okay, I said early I like to edit images, so last night I was going to find some images to save so I can image edit with a variety of choices.. I came accross one image and thought "oh, that would be lovely!" and began work on it immediately.. this is the final result.

which I will show you as soon as I can get the damned internet to cooperate long enough to uploaded the mofo...
