Ok, ok, so your good with computer graphics but how are you with a pencil and paper? Think you got something to show? Then post it!

Here's some of my favorite drawings:















I look forward to seeing your guys work

Very nice work

I will get my scanner pluged in and install and scan some of my stuff then you can let me know what you think of mine

man...if I ever need a new tatoo, i'm gonna hit you up bro. Nice drawings

ps: where'd you get that sweet Jake2k stationary...lol






(I know it's watermarked)

Here are a couple of my drawings. Both of these were done on 18" x 24" medium grade paper (80 lb.).

This is a piece rendered in soft charcoal. Because charcoal is so easy to work with, this took me less than 30 minutes to do. The man in the picture isn't Santa Claus. He was one of the models in my figure drawing class. He wore a Santa hat because it was the holiday season. That's his actual beard, however.






This is a study in perspective I did for another drawing class. I did this using only a 9B woodless graphite pencil. This one took me roughly 10 hours.

Very Nice stuff. I really like the last one with all the spikes. It looks 3d in a 2d sorta way. very cool.

My best stuff has always been in the digital world.

Crap maybe I shouldn't post when I'm hung over sry. I had some drawings I did but nothing too traditional.

Just comics and junk. I even made a comic strip featuring all my friends it wasn't too bad.

Maybe, but the topic is to show drawings not computer graphics. We know you can handle yourself well with software, but how do you fare with traditional tools?

before i was done reading his post i was going to say the same exact thing

ummm i only draw text but other than that I cant draw for shit, its all in my brain and can only get out with a mouse and keyboard, looking at getting a cheap tablet to see if I can pry my skills and have them spread to a physical medium.

wow jake thats some pretty bad ass stuff there.i realy like it.you too metal i realy like the 2nd drawing you have its nice =]

I draw some sweet cars and pimp them out. I'll post em' up later.

nice work dude

Believe it or not i cant dra for shit outside of PS lol and i have a tablet and i still cant DRAW in ps haha.

haha man i suck you guys are way good =D

Socal, you don't suck. You're willing to try, and that's the first step in not sucking. .

I mean no offense by this, but that's like trying to run before learning to crawl. You'll fall flat on your face before getting anywhere. Owning a tablet won't miraculously teach you how to draw. That's a misconception some people seem to have. You should pick up a small, cheap drawing pad. Notebook paper works, but it's best to have drawings without those stupid blue lines. Make a habit of taking it with you wherever you go, and draw anything that catches your eye. I suggest using a wood pencil instead of a mechanical pencil. Avoid erasing. This helps you break out of trying to be perfect from the start. Leaving your mistakes on the page helps you see where you need to improve. I hope that helps you to get started.

lol yah i hate those stupid lines.i just use a reg pencil most of the time and draw in class cuz i get realy bored. but ya thanks ill try the non erasing thing hopefully it will help me get better =]

Im a perfectionist so most of my drawings are done with a mech. pencil, ruler and a good eraser . But then again my stuff is more like drafting than drawing . I can't draw a living thing to save my life

lol ya im not very good at it myself but im practicing =]

get a good set of pencils if you want to learn to draw because you can achive many more shades than just by using a #2 pencil. also pick up a good soft white eraser and kneadable eraser too along with a blending/shading stump

=/ whats a blending/shading stump lol

basically its a rolled up peice of paper that helps you shade/blend

oh haha ive always just kinda used my finger =] it doesnt work as well as the paper tho lol

yeah i use to use my finger also but then you get those un even shades. you can also use a q-tip or i hear some tissue wrapped around the end of a pencil with a little bit of vasoline works well also

hm ill try it.what kind of pencils do you suggest?

i use these http://www.dickblick.com/zz203/11/

=] thnx alot for the help

Don't waste ur cash on a huge set of pencils if ur just starting out. I don't draw as much as I used to, but I never bought myself anything other than a 2HB and did just fine. If you have a steady hand and good control of the pencil, you'll do just fine with the 2HB. If anything the harder pencils pisses me off cuz they weren't comfortable to draw with. But that's just me. But once you feel you've devoloped ur drawing skills enough and feel you need just a little bit more control over ur shading, THEN go invest in some pencils. Buying a $20-40 set of pencils isn't going to make you a better artist over night.

I can say almost the same with the tablet. If you can't draw with a pencil, you won't be able to draw with a tablet either. You'll only waste ur money. Only buy a tablet if you are comfortable with a pen or pencil and get frustrated when you can't do the same thing on the computer. And if you own painter, Wacom has a nifty airbrush pen as well if ur into airbrushing. It's a lil odd, but works, lol.


I actually don't have much scanned, but here's what I've got (along with some drawings with a tablet):

Doodle I made on an airplane trip, lol.


Project for class that required us to take two things and combine then:


Quick sketch that started out as two lines (which then became the outer edges of the bridge):


...which I then painted with acrylics for an art class a couple years ago:
(pic taken with phone... hence the glare at the bottom of bridge)


And here are a couple digital pencil drawings made in Painter that I had to do for a "rapid illustration" class:



If only I had the patience and attention span to finish things... haha.
