Drawing!

Well, lately I've been sort of fine-tuning my drawings... this is sort of a copy of Coral's Drawing Thread, where we posted some of our drawings. So, behold a page of my doodles... (please let this show up please let this show up!)

myahh. It's so tiny -annoyed glare at picture-

Sorry, Tiffany. It's not showing up here at all.

THose look like my notes! Except that I can't draw to save my life, so my doodles mostly consist of little blocks of words set up in lovely little patterns. Also, I like your ninjas : )

Professor offers extra credit for chapter summaries, then adds that neatness counts, creativity is worth extra.

THIS happens. 

Oy. (far too big, but should be right-click-able)

(it should also be noted that I took an Internet break between 1.3 and 1.4, which is why Antoine Lavoisier has a generic face but all the other historical figures vaguely resemble themselves.) 
((and yes, squishy muffins really is the metaphor my textbook used to explain Rutherford's original atomic model))

*whistling idly* This place is dead. *is promptly brained by falling sandbags*

So I drew some tyrants... #OTP

Yay!  I broke myself of the habit of being Helen S!  Oh, if you like to doodle, Vihart on youtube is really cool.  Or even if you don't like to doodle.  I've been trying to draw owls recently.  That, and Vihart doodles.  And some weird people.

So even though I'm a sophomore in college, if I go into a restaurant and they give me crayons...

 

Also, when I get bored, my brain makes me draw random crossovers (too big for CB margins, open in new window/tab):  

...Yeah. Actually I can't even begin to explain how much I love this crossover, random and obscure though it may be. (And actually I'm going to make a post about it soon because I started ranting here and it very quickly became TL; DR and I don't want to spam the picture thread.)

By drawing ALL the time and drawing from references and practicing loads. Everyone is capable of drawing great things, but the trick is to develop the eye-hand coordination necessary to translate images to a page (it's like learning to write with your off-hand, in a way [which I am doing right now because reasons]; you have to literally build new connections in your brain, and the only way to do that is to keep doing it all the time). Also, tutorials/how to draw books can be useful starting points until you get a feel for your own process.

Visiting because it's winter break and I've nothing to do.

Oh, and I painted ornaments for my friends.

Okay, so maybe this might be just a little big. Or maybe this won't show up at all. We'll see, and I'll post the others if it works. Even though the rest are mostly Black Butler and My Little Pony fan art (I myself don't watch the former but do watch the latter). 

 

Nothing is showing up. Sorry!

The image URL looks like something that was copy/pasted directly from your harddrive, which doesn't work. If you upload it to an image hosting site (photobucket, imgur, etc.) first and then open that image by itself (ie open the direct link that the host site creates) and copy *that* into the CB, then it should work.

Ahh. *facepalm* It doesn't work from any of the image-sharing sites I use, and I was getting desperate to find an easy solution, so I just tried. And failed. Your drawings are, as other people have said, amazing. But then, you've had so many years to learn, practice, and figure out a style, so I guess that's understandable.

Wow, TNO! (I bet you are tired of peole saying that!) I can draw, but that's it. You can draw awesomely! 

People say I can draw--but they are wrong.

Oh, and I agree with everyone. Start a blog!

Blogs are cool (but I'm the only one in my grade who does anything LIKE a blog)

Sorry I got off topic. Your drawings are awesome and cucumber juice stings on a cut! (Sorry--I'm easily distracted.)

Thank you! (and everyone else, too, for that matter :D) Do keep in mind, though, that I have a GIANT FOLDER of shame similar to the one I have for writing. I screw up more often than I end up liking something I've drawn. So you're getting a highly selective sampling...

As far as the blog thing goes: I have a deviant art. There's nothing on it that isn't also in this thread, because it's fairly new. And I think I have a livejournal account floating around that I've posted on like twice in the past... however long it's been since I got it. A while. The point is, I'm not good at keeping blogs because I tend to forget about them.

Anyway.

Uber-quick Mary Poppins sketch because I saw it a few days ago and have FEELINGS:

And this... isn't a drawing, but it is art in the sense that, all things considered, I've spent obscene amounts of time on it (particularly if one includes the frustrating week or so during which I taught myself how to use Milkshape) so I'm posting it anyway. Look at ALL my obsessions!!

...Yeah, that's a Hatter!Sim. For those of you who play Sims/are interested and don't mind technobabble (does anyone? I don't know...): Kate Shindle has a weird face that's bloody well impossible to recreate with the vanilla Bodyshop tools, so I installed a 3d meshing program (Milkshape), learnt how to use it over the course of an INFURIATING week, then got as close as I could with just bodyshop, exported the resulting Sim-face, and pushed it around in Milkshape until it looked appropriately Shindle-ish. And then I modified that for each age/gender and turned it into a default face archetype so that her face wouldn't asplode in game if she aged or had children or whatever. It took approximately HALF A YEAR. And I'm STILL not happy with her eyes or the area around her ears. ...And this is what I do to RELAX.
