A thread as old as time

[Space Dingo]

Hi its me again.

 

[Space Dingo]

Really proud of this.

 

[Space Dingo]

Working on a late Hanukkah gift for my brother and sister-in-law. It's just a wip right now so there's a lot of things I still need to touch up on. Somehow, I think I made my niece look a bit Asian?


The drawing is so awkward right now. I've never drawn a baby's face so I think the proportions are hard for me to get right, right now.

 

[Siri]

Ahhh, I really love how you did the one before the one you just posted: it looks like an interesting blend of digital art and traditional with how you applied the texture, and the hair looks fabulous.



And I don't know if you're searching for critique or anything, but baby's are hard as fuck to draw?? I can offer a tip or two though, based on what you have now. In art, at least, you can make someone look younger by making their eyes lower in proportion to the rest of their face...? Um, I can't really explaining it that well (or if it's even backed by science, but it makes someone

easily

look younger) so maybe watch

http://listsandmasterposts.tumblr.c...vediddlystrider-im-the-worst-art-teacher-dontthis sort of little video

http://listsandmasterposts.tumblr.c...vediddlystrider-im-the-worst-art-teacher-dont, where this guy addresses facial proportions and shit. It's only like 2 minutes long, don't worry, lol. Otherwise, her eyes look like they could be a smidgen more apart (see: the eye-wide gap between your eyes proportion rule), and her forehead could be larger (which relates back to the video, fun fun).




*doesn't know if I'm being helpful or not but offers help anyways*

 

[Space Dingo]

Oh no! You definitely are helpful! I actually know about the eye height thing from drawing in the past (I've found that I tend to place eyes too high, which might have been an old habit dies hard here) I guess I was trying to eyeball it and it just didn't work? I'll go back to it tomorrow when I wake up. I actually posted the wip in hopes of critique. I think sometimes a different eye helps with what looks wrong when you can't tell because you've been staring at it for so long.


And thank you for your compliment on the previous piece. I am so happy with that one. This is the first art I've done all on one layer instead of a bazillion layers. I started looking at the speed paints of artists I like and was utterly stunned that they all used a single layer.

 

[Diminium]

Wow, you're really talented! The textures on the hair are great, and Ezra reminds me of Hal/Otacon from Metal Gear Solid. Huh.

 

[Space Dingo]

Thank you! And really? I can kind of see it now that you mention it.

 

[Space Dingo]

Took a break from drawing my niece to draw some Reddit Gets Drawn art.

 

[Space Dingo]

Working on a flyer for a local group I would like to start up. Currently just made deadpool into one of those 1960's vector guys. But it just looks like deadpool in a suit. I originally was just going to photo shop deadpool's head on, but then I was feeling creative and the pictures were too small for a flyer anyway.

 

[Space Dingo]

Forgot to post these a while ago whoops. I had watched a let's play of Dream Drop Distance since I don't own nor can I afford the console it's on ;_;

 

[Space Dingo]

A doodle at work during the big snow storm we had on Saturday. We ended up not having much work to do besides answering phone calls before closing early at 3pm. Pretty much colored with Faber-Castells (mine) and random sharpies and dry erase markers (work's)

 

[Space Dingo]

I probably should have thrown these all in one post. Oops.

A sci-fi medic I wanted to create for an rp before I found out they closed applications. I didn't want to make her all punk-y, but somehow the hair ended up like this and I love it too much to part with it....


It's still in wip form. I might finish it eventually.

 

[Alexandra]

There's a great mix of styles in here ~


I particularly enjoyed 17, 20, 21 and 22. The quality of line is extremely pleasant in its variety of weight, and the colour choices are spectacular. I always enjoy stylised work like yours as the understanding of anatomy and proportion is very evident.


One thing I would suggest about reference material; bother your friends with your smartphone for reference photos, and promise no-one will ever see them except you. It usually works for me

 

[PanPan]

Huh, you have a lot of art styles! Glad to see someone so versatile. ♥

Trying to really give backgrounds a try. I think the anatomy is off.... but honestly, this is the first time I tried drawing this pose and without reference as well as I really don't know how to describe this pose....?

If you live with people, or have other humans whom you hang out with (like friends or family) you could prolly ask for a bit of help. Most people would love to pose for you if you ask nicely. ♥ That's how you get your references.

 

[Space Dingo]

Thank you very much the both of you! I'm glad you like my variety in styles! Hahaha it's more like I can't decide on which style to stick with. It's like a mood based thing for me while I still think of trying to come up wit ha defining style. OTL

Hahahaha... The sad part about asking people to pose for me is that I'm a lame loser who does not have any friends in the local area and live with a rather older woman who spends her time in her room or going some place. Family members are spaced about the Tri-State area so visiting is kind of hard. Not trying to complain, since when I remember to use references and poses, I usually look up stock photos on deviantart. but again! Thank you for your advice!

 

[Space Dingo]

Took me an entire week to come up with a design for my Witchsona on Witchsona week. I couldn't decide between a cat themed witch or some lovecraftian cult witch. Went with the Lovecraftian Cult Witch.

It's pretty amazing.

 

[Space Dingo]

Thank you!


Got a WIP I'm working on. I'm having trouble believing I am actually working on this TBH.
