Has anyone seen those group drawing boards around? I found them all over the place and they seem really cool, but only when a lot of talent gets in there. Unfortunately I haven't found a single grou ...

Heh, cool. Does FaustGFX come around here anymore?

I was bored and haven't drawn in a long while. I've also been experimenting more and more with my graphire that I bought over a year ago. Anyway, I was doodling tonight and this came out. Not sure ...

I like it. I really like the style and it manages to be very expressive while very simple.

I saw Craig Mullins mention this, and I agree, but I'm curious, for a lot of these paintings, especially the quick ones that have a "painterly" look in photoshop, how do you go about setting up approp ...

Turning down the pressure will help. The key is more technique, after messing with the smudge tool for awhile, you realize how it affects surrounding pixels when working. It's more where you place i ...

Actually, I like it how it is. Sure, it has it's flaws as far as realism goes. But the way it is almost says something - sets a mood. Looks almost impressionist(I hope I got the right movement).

Reference pics, as we've all discussed can be a great way to learn. Well, what do you do if you get bored of just copying photos? Or, how can you transist to drawing stuff from your mind better?

I' ...

Hey. I usually do searches for various actresses and models. Since I find woman pleasing to look at, I don't mind staring at the picture for long periods of time to figure out what dynamics makes a ...

I've been reading this thread for a while now, and I noticed only one thing. Almost every person wrote an incredibly long and rather detailed defence of who they agreed with and why. For a while the ...

It seems that the negativity towards smudging occurs when it's obvious someone used smuding. Like when you have smudge streaks all over the place in an attempt to be somewhat abstract. I guess what ...

I do everything right handed. And until I started painting, I couldn't smoke with my left hand, but now I do it all the time. I actually started life left handed...and somehow transisted to my right ...

Actually, I would recommend drawing basic shapes or something. I mean, your first picture doesn't have to be a masterpiece. My first pic ever was a gothic cross, and it was all I needed to get the c ...

Ragnorak - I wouldn't be too surprised if you did have the reference ph ...

I had this same problem a little while back...both on my computer at home as well as my kick ass computer at work - which had more than enough RAM. One thing that seemed to fix all the problems was a ...

Since drawing is more about being able to see, than draw, I think starting with photo references is a great way to start. i mean, not many artists start out instantly knowing how to correct the way w ...

I just love this pic! Great colors...very stylish. Nice molded plastic look. I could go on and on...but it's summed up best by saying "Great Pic!"

Main question...what is the primary difference between the airbrush and the paintbrush in photoshop? How are each best used?

Secondary question...how do various people use their tabs? Pressure fade ...

I do enjoy http://www.sijun.com/dhabih/ubb/smile.gif. I think it's overall, a good pic. First, I'll point out the positives. Very good skin tones and excellent job on the hair. The shirt was very ...

As someone pointed out in another post, cartoons use very simple shading...a few more shades and highlights to better define depth would help make this more realistic...like the top of the helmet for ...

Thanks Enayla...it's got some mistakes, but I've been awake for too damn long and got tired of working on it.

You didn't have to do one Enayla :P, but I'm glad you did...it looks great!

Here's another one...wasn't exactly quick...this one turned out to be really difficult - at least for me.

You can always edit a post you've made...one of the little tabs in the thread window lets you do this. In fact, I'd g ...
