Well the fact is, I really don’t like drawing.
Just boring for me.

But a girl I know asked me to draw her.

This is the first portrait I have done in years, and since there probably won’t be another for years, I thought I would share it.

She hasn’t seen it yet, but I hope she will like it.
What do you think?


I had these other ones laying aound here.
Maybe some might be interested.

Some Neon Genesis Evangelion to go with the other thread:

(Yes, I drew these from looking at posters, not from my mind.)

Some computer ones:

If you have any art to share with the world, post it here.   :-D

L.Spiro: Whoa, that's an awesome portrait!

As for me, I do not draw at all, because I don't have that artistic feeling for that.
However, when I was at school, about 5 years ago, I have drawn a nice picture of Aya Brea. The picture was based on this image.

I think I have that drawing lying around somewhere at my parent's house, I'll take a look this weekend (if I don't forget about it), and scan and upload it next week.

L. Spiro: nice drawing skillz !

( me not drawing, me programmer )
 
Too bad you don't like drawing L.Spiro. You are very good. Hope your friend likes the picture.
I used to draw a lot when I was younger, but in the last times I haven't drawn at all and my skills are rusted.
 
Did you sit her down for the duration of drawing the picture?
Or did you do it from a photo?
 
You are very good.

From a picture.
She still has not seen the drawing yet; it’s actually a bit of a surprise.
Well, she didn’t directly ask me to draw her.
She asked me to draw a panda, and her name is Panda, so I thought it would be a nice surprise, especially since she didn’t actually expect me to draw anything really.

Her computer borked so she can’t go online much, but next time she gets online she will see it.

Did you actually draw something to find your skills rusted?
Or do you just feel it without actually trying?
Because I think a lot of parts of art really never go away, especially the ones from your childhood.
Things such as styles may deteriorate—maybe you get worse at drawing Disney styles or anime, but in general art shouldn’t really go away.
I think you should be able to get anything back if you just draw a few pictures.

Okay, I've gotta correct myself. When browsing through my millions of sheets of paper I found some pictures I have drawn.

This is the one I talked about in my last post, the Aya Brea image (184 KB).
I also have drawn this picture of Mai Hasegawa (aka Konoko) from the game Oni (200 KB), based on this wallpaper.
And here's another nice picture, however, it was never finished (106 KB).
And you start drawing stuff like this when you have too many Luis Royo Artbooks... :P (80 KB)


What's with the rest of you guys?

Aya Brea is good.
Defined lines.

And the unfinished woman has a nice style to it.

Luis Royo is a very, VERY good fantasy artist (or just a pwner :P)
 
What is everybody's weapon of choice?  Do you guys prefer to use various pencil's H, B, HB, etc.?  Or have any of you dabbled with charcoal?

To L. Spiro:
It is a shame that you don't draw more often, that work is excellent.  That is a clever little surprise for the lady, how debonair of you. :wink:

To Alhexx:
Also great work.  I notice the use of graph paper, that is closer to my style.  I did CAD for a couple of years and it made me real accurate, but at the same time I fuss with the little details too much.

To chaoscontrol:
The Bass drawing is great.  I've always liked that manga/cell-shaded style.  It doesn't attempt to mimic a realism style, but it has its own subtle details that give it depth and character nonetheless.  I think Luigi rocks!  :-D
 
Thank you.


I mostly used 4F, 2F, H, 3B, and 6B.

Charcoal is a bit dark, and I avoid it even when I need dark because it smears far too easily.

Speaking of which, you can preserve your art longer by spraying it with hairspray.
Just a light coating of hairspray, certainly not enough to wet the paper, but just a drizzle.


Can i get her phone number? :p

Do you speak Thai?


By the way, she has finally seen it and she said she loves it.
Then we spoke for about an hour on the phone and she called me “sweetie”.
So I might do another.

There main reason why I used graph paper is because I have drawn the images at school, usually *cough*during*cough* or between the lessons.

As for the "weapon of choice" - I can't tell you much about it, since I don't know what pencils I have been using. I think the Aya Brea image was drawn using a HB pencil, the unfinished woman was drawn with a much softer one.

This time she did not actually ask me to draw her; I drew her on my own.

I’m hoping she will like it (and also not think I am a freak for drawing her without having been asked to do so).

As a refresher, this is the same girl as:
Panda 1
