Goldney's Artwork

**Goldney** · 03-04-2007 02:54 PM

I'm gonna start posting some of the stuff I draw with artrage2 on here. Comments and criticisms very welcome.

A man I drew when I was messing around with the layers on artrage. The only drawback is that I can currently find no 'fill' tool. Slightly annoying but oh well.

Took me about 20 mins.

Just finished this one. Simialr to the one above but in a different style. I took about an hour or so. I never realised how hard drawing hands are when they're small; you just can't get the level of detail. I know he's kind of lop-sided. Comments welcome.

Another pic. About 15 mins.

**Goldney** · 03-04-2007 07:42 PM

New pic.

**ViSions** · 03-04-2007 07:56 PM

Nice, much better than I can do. I'm a horrible artist.

**Goldney** · 03-04-2007 08:20 PM

Thanks, all it takes is a little practice.

**Artelis** · 03-05-2007 06:38 AM

uh.

**Goldney** · 03-05-2007 07:46 AM

What's that supposed to mean?

**Artelis** · 03-05-2007 05:59 PM

It's god awful.

**Goldney** · 03-05-2007 06:39 PM

Haha thanks. I'm trying to improve.

Try working on keeping an encouraging, positive tone maybe Artelis??

First one was interesting but a bit silly

Second one was... exactly what Artelis says. As was the 3rd.
the sunset one was really cool. Soo much better than the others

keep trying. if you've got a scanner then try doing some art on real paper and scanning it up.
good luck

We're not here to critique me.

**Goldney** · 03-06-2007 12:26 AM

Thanks for the feedback. Even Artelis'.

**DeadDollKitty** · 03-06-2007 02:14 AM

lol dont worry, artelis is always like that, well.. at least from what ive known of him...

i bet you can do a lot better.. practice makes perfect eh? mabey i'll start my own drawing thread.. who knows? good job goldney! i'd love to see more drawings

**Goldney** · 03-06-2007 06:28 PM

Yeah, practice. That's what those pictures before were. They were my first attempts with a graphics tablet, so the next ones will be better. Hopefully.

**Neruo** · 03-06-2007 09:04 PM

It isn't crap. Not feces-crap at least.

Nah, it is pretty good.

**Oneironaut Zero** · 03-07-2007 12:05 AM

Not too bad, goldney (especially since you're working through the learning curve of using a tablet). It took me some getting used to, too, and is still not as comfortable as drawing with a pencil and paper.

The second one (black and white pic of the guy with wings) isn't really all that bad. You should work on the detail around the torso area - maybe find a few pics online to use as references. If you are going for a completely cartoonish look, just find some cartoon pics that give examples of ab muscles, and start trying to copy some of the techniques. If you want your pics to look more realistic, look up pictures of real models (or just shirtless guys), find the way the muscle/bone definition is laid-out, and work them into your picture.

Also, think of what kind of detail you'd like to have in the wings (those are wings, right?). You're definitely going to have to fill all that empty space with.

And look up a few shading techniques. Proper shading is going to make your pics look so much better.

Keep practicing.

Done on pen and paper. Ignore the diamond thing.

I know the man's right arm is wrong and his feet aren't quite right but I still like the rest of it.

**Neruo** · 03-08-2007 02:01 PM

The Eye is good.

Yarrr.

**FishtankHank** · 03-09-2007 05:37 AM

you've improved.

**Goldney** · 03-10-2007 06:58 PM

Well that's only because I was using pen and paper not my graphics tablets like in the previous pictures.

Yeah, I like the eye. Anyways, even the first few that weren't exactly incredible pieces of art were better than what I could do. I like the background on the first though, and the sunset too.
