Mette's (not so) Flashy Art Thread

[metteminne]

Well I tried to draw again seeing I ofcourse love it(as an amateur) and I will post some of my results here.


Kenpachi:

Spoiler:

Yami Yugi aka Atem :

Spoiler:

Bepo :

Spoiler:

I normally don't color so most will be just with a pencil. Any commentary is appriciated seeing I would like to try to improve myself .

[RPGJay]

This isn't bad at all Mette. Atem's face is a little off though. Bepo was awesome though.

[Nolus]

That Bepo is pretty nice. Clothes are a real 'youknowwhat' to draw, that's why I draw half-naked men. I can't draw clothes... but in your pic it looks good.
I like Yugi too (brings back memories).

What kind of pencil do you draw with? As far as I can see (though I can be wrong) you use H or HB ones. I recommend softer ones, like 2B. You can erase them better and they are darker.

Keep on drawing! Then, you'll surely get better. If you want any help, I'll gladly comment on your pictures and give more advice.

The problem with Atem was that I underestimated the propotions of his hair towards his face so yeah :/ , but thx for replying Jay :)

Well I draw with a regular one so it should be Hb , and a 2B one huh? I will test some.

Thanks Nolus tommorow I will scan some more cause I am lazy now :p

[MasterKingJC]

It's looking good, Mette. I like it so far.
Keep practicing and developing your skills and you'll definitely improve.

[Outerspec]

I'm impressed, sure as hell beats anything I ever drew in my life. Yeah, like JC said keep going at it and draw what keeps you interested.

[metteminne]

Well I must say these are the better ones of my drawings , but we'll see . Thx for commenting guys :)

[ChesCa]

This looks pretty good. I encourage you to keep going.

[CharmedWard]

Oh you use that excuse too? I mean......

Mette, I'm not so good at critiques and that sort of stuff, so all I can say really is keep exposing yourself to the style you like. Obviously you pay close attention to what you want to draw when you're drawing because that shows above. (Especially with the folds on Bepo's uniform - I hate details like that when I'm drawing). So I'd just say build on it, and maybe chose on thing you want to focus on improving each time. I used to say "Okay, let's get the facial features in proportion now." or "I should spend longer on this hand" The joke here is that I still can't draw hands

In short I like your stuff :) Keep going ^^

[MagiciteKefka]

It sure is a heck of a lot better than what I can draw! I especially like that Bepo. ^.^ His uniform looks really complicated to draw.

[metteminne]

Thx for the comments guys ^^

Well here are some other ones

L from Death Note :

Spoiler:

Kid Goku from DB

Spoiler:

And one of my failures : Guts from Berserk :

Spoiler:

[metteminne]

Random girl :

Spoiler:

And some real flashy things ! (but made by my dad where I inspired him)

Goku dbz:

Spoiler:

And myself :

Spoiler:

[CharmedWard]

Haha I remember you showing that DBZ one before....was it on the FP site, like around Christmas? And I really like the last one, it convays a lot of emotion.

[Mrs. Iceburg]

Glad to see you're drawing again, mette!
It looks promising, I especially like the Bepo. Keep practicing I'd say, you have a good eye for detail, but work on your perspective and such. Drawing guidelines like you did on the girl is a good start. :)

[Hiroy]

I see you are following the cross line guide(good), but you should try stepping it up a bit. Practice with 3D shapes to add some roundness to your drawings. If you ever find the time to practice, play around with combining multiple shapes... like circles. And then proceed to use ovals within the circles to recreate the cross-line guide. Don't bother going into doing details unless you feel experimental. I'm still a novice and I'm learning myself, but if you ever need some help/guidence or even little assignments, message me.

[MetaMario]

Really like your Goku drawing, Mette.

Might be , I think I also posted it on ap before but whatever , And yeah I like that one ofcourse too :)

Seems like people like Bepo a lot even if his head actually is wrong :p , and the eye is not true really. Thx for the tips mom , I will try to draw something nice in the sketchbook when I am good again ;)

You mean in a more realistic way like this one? (big Image)

Spoiler:

And I wouldn't call you a novice really. Your style has already devolped and has become really nice man. And I will visitor message you if I still have more questions , or we can use this thread really

Really like your Goku drawing, Mette.

Yo meta! Long time no see , knew you would like the goku :D

[kmohyudin]

... you are a horrible horrible artist!! I mean... why didn't you tell me you drew a Bepo!! AND A FREAKING L!!!!!!!!!!! That's got to be against the law or something...

On a more serious note, the one I like was the random girl. I am no artist myself, but I think you are trying to put a little too much details in the pics, I'd say, keep it simple! Master the outlines first, than go for the shadows... though, someone who actually draws maybe able to give better advise. Just my two cents.

Cause I am evil (and you never are online)

Well maybe I am a perfectionist and the girl was one of the only I drew myself with only some guidelines and not just draw from a manga. And I don't mind I think every advice is welcome

[metteminne]

New one : just a realistic eye that too a pretty long time. Pretty good but something feels wrong about it.
