Marks Drawings etc

Hello

Just thought I would start up a little topic here.

I am doing this in the hopes that uploading some drawings etc of dreams may help with recall.

Not all of the stuff I upload will be dream related, some of it will just be random drawings etc.

So yeah thats it really lol oh and any comments, advice and even critisism is welcome :)

So here is my first upload.

Its my first time using Photo shop and I have been experimenting with the tools on it etc

Its meant to be a Volcano in the foreground and a snow covered mountain and clouds etc in the back ground. Its not finished yet I still need to detail the forgroundand the space between the volcano and the mountain in the distance.

Nice, I was expecting something a lot worse than that. I like it a lot.

I like it a lot too; it's really good. I love the shapes of the clouds. The moon and the sky are beautiful. It's cool how you made a volcano in the mountains.

You should do some of your dream stuff too.

lol I forgot to ask if you had any suggestions for which dream you would like me to attempt?

Hey, the modifications are make the picture much better! Nice running lava.

I don't know, I'll have to back and look thru your journal. Don't worry, I won't make you draw DeNiro. :chuckle:

I don't know if it's purposeful or just a result of using photoshop, but I love the style of that picture! It looks almost like paintbrush strokes, but softer and more feathered. Very nice!

Actually, my BF saw it on the screen, and he thought it was a painting.

Oh, yea...dream journal...I'll be back..

Very good work Mark..honestly, you've got a knack..keep playing around, you've got some good talent. Indeed, drawing your dreams could be a fantastic idea...a visual record for you and to share.

Anyway, keep it up! I like!

OK, how about this recent flying one, which I remember you enjoyed quite a bit:

They are no clouds in the sky just a whisp blue white colour.

as requested moon beam I have started on this one. This is fairly basic to say the least, but here is what I have got so far...im not to sure I may redo the basics of the background and move the person round maybe

Cool...the flyer looks very determined!

OMG MARK OMG!!! I don't know anything about photoshop but OMG!!!!!

Wow your "volcanoey mountainy look at the amazing sky and mix of lava and ice" drawing is REALLY AMAZING!!

oh some things though..

Are you using a tablet(friend wants to know they say v good but they want to know) and also one nit pit, your stars are like white pixels, are you going to make them more glowing and such to add realism rather then the dots?

Amazing drawings dude, I find drawing hard on paper, even harder on the computer!

For a newbie to Photoshop, you're not doing too badly at all! :D

im impressed to say the least...

Wow... These are awesome. Your pictures are really good for someone to just start using Photoshop.

Definitely. Nice work, mark. That volcano pic is amazing. :goodjob2:

Thanks everyone :)


Oneironaut man your art is incredible so it mean alot coming from you!

I plan to do some more stuff this weekend...I never got around to doing anything last weekend:P

just a quick little thing im doing, its once again not finished lol I may have to add a few things or removes some and tidy it up a little

Well really im just experimenting with some ideas. This one was inspired by one of my dreams....I will have to search through my DJ for the correct one but basically I was swimming through the air and came across a coastal area were everything was silhouetted by the sunset

Beautiful, mark. It's almost like a photograph, but with the colors touched up a little bit to make it more eerie.
