i dood a drawing!

[mizkit]

There's some mythological perfect world out there where I can write and draw at the same time (not *exactly* the same time), which would allow me to get better at drawing faster. But, since I don't seem to have found my way to that MPW, I'll just do drawings when I'm not writing. I finally did one! At the rate I'm going, my thousand drawings

This may not be interesting you at all, but if you want fantasy pictures to inspire your drawing you might try looking at a few in the fantasy section of whatever chain bookstore they have over there. I was about to say Barnes and Noble, but you prolly don't shop there. LOL. Anyway, some of them are a little porn-ish, but some can be really beautiful too.

Also, do you only draw with pencil? I don't draw I only paint, so ignore me if I know nothing. But you might try pastels if you haven't already. They can be messy, but they're more forgiving of new talent IMO.

I'm complete crap with pastels, but thanks for the suggestion. :)

[salymander]

LOL, good. I'm less intimidated by you then.

[mizkit]

Oh, my, I don't mean to intimidate anyone. *laugh* I wish *I* could paint! Just, y'know, I don't wish it enough to learn to do it well... :)

I think you did a great job. Drawing people is hard as hell. I'd rather write an entire epic romance novel (barfing all the way btw) than try to draw a person.

[mizkit]

OMG PROFIT! I loved that show! Squee!

erm, and, thank you. :)

[sanguinepen]

Loved it too. I was tempted to maybe do some fanfic for him a week or so ago, but I know I could never do him justice. I keep hoping that Nathan Petrelli on Heroes will turn into Jim.

Any non-adult is a pain to draw, imo. The proportions are so different on children. You also picked a really had pose (pretty much straight on face and looking down so the body's foreshortened), but it came out pretty nice.

You should consider a few color pencils to your palette.

On writing and visual arts at the same time, I can totally relate though from the other side. It's good that you keep up with it though, I find writing a nice alternate and counterbalance to painting.

I'm crap with colored pencils, too. :) I'm not bad with markers (though I'm not good), but my real love is pen and ink. I know what kind of style I /want/ to be able to achieve, but I'm an awfully long way from actually getting there. Sniff. :)

Furniture: Boring but important!

[amberley]

Someday I'm going to have to start drawing boring things, like furniture, aren't I. :)

Yes! Because sitting on babies is just wrong!!

Also, someday you may also have to draw fruit, because eating babies is wrong, although that worked out OK for Goya.
