You know what it is time for some ART POST
Well, winter break time's over and I didn't get done basically any of the projects I set aside to do "over winter break" (Sorry
ctrl_a, I'm afraid that FF logo is too complicated and scary for me.) but at least I didn't completely waste my time sitting on my ass!

Discovered these figure drawing workshops on CGTalk that provide really really nice model photos. Wish I had looked into them earlier, maybe I'd have squandered a little bit less of last quarter... or not. Anyway, foot is weak spot but hand is good.
Progression in which you see how I paint well but sketch like crap
And this:

She's still wearing the Sailor fuku under that dress, I just thought I'd modify this into a portfolio-able piece as well. Revamped the layout majorly and I think it's fairly improved. Reminds me just a teeny tiny bit of Chinese brush painting flavor?

Your art, as always, puts mine to shame.

(Nobody but Nendil look at that, please, it's embarrassing and... weird...)
Oh well. :D I never expected to get anywhere close to your level anyway!
... The nekkie lady kinda scares me, but I like the new dress thing on the scout...
Re: Your art, as always, puts mine to shame.
I dunno about scary but here's the original reference pic (http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a35/rebeccak4/Open%20Figure%20Drawing%20Workshop/characterdesigns005_done.jpg). Then again, it might be even more scary in comparison. I seem to have a trend for doing that?
Re: Your art, as always, puts mine to shame.
Willing to learn is not the problem--it's lack of a teacher (and/or the inability to weasle my way into having an art class in my schedule. ;_; No room around my requireds.) You can only get yourself so far by studying (or staring intently) at other works/surroundings, no? (I could be wrong. What do I know? I'm only a highschooler.)
O_O; Nudie lady. Now I'm scared both at the fact she's nudie and at how accurate your artwork of her was. So, yep, you made me more scared. ^^;

Hope that's enough to get you started, if you're interested. G'luck!
Re: Your art, as always, puts mine to shame.
... as soon as I finish this goshdang HUGE project I've re-done like four times... 'cause I don't want to start over AGAIN... heh...
And... maybe I'll hit the forums... maybe not... -kinda shy about forums, is red to the ears with blushing-
Re: Your art, as always, puts mine to shame.
You don't even need to participate in the forums if you're shy (like me) - you can learn a whole lot even just by lurking and looking at other people's art and feedback!

Oooh, now there's a thought. -smacks her own forhead for her silliness-
Nendil-Sensei?! Shy?! @.@ The concept eludes me!
