Welcome to Gaia! ::

So... I've been playing around with a pen and a sketchbook recently. Was fun.





Dnd char sketch- I'm playing a paladin again. I really like how it turned out- will have to try this style again.

Some more finished things:




A picture I finished in art class a couple weeks ago. I liked it a lot more before I scanned it. My art teacher provides unsatisfying critique- she's more suited to teach children and middle aged women who are taking up art as a hobby, I think. People who need/want to be reassured constantly that they're doing well, whether or not they actually are. Or something like that. All she would tell me about it was that she though it was wonderful and that the girl looked roman.

A series of pictures of another RP character of mine:

For the ink sketches(and several of the other things), I feel the need to plead randomness- they were done without any pencil underdrawings and, most of the time, I had very little idea where I was going with them until they were mostly done. Not much of an excuse, I know, but it does make a difference.

I had another one, but I seem to have forgotten to upload it. Another profile.

And, yeah, my art teacher did, indeed, not go over any of that with me. I do technically know the proportions and have several pages full of them(given to my by my highschool art teacher, a very different person completely) I will have to go find those again, because evidently I need to be reminded. Irritating that she didn't, if it's that glaring of a problem, since I was taking lessons with her with the goal of building up a portfolio with which I might apply to an art school eventually.
Like I said, she's not much of a critic.
Yet another reason why I'm not going back to that teacher and will instead take in some figure drawing classes. (starting wednesday! whee )

I will look through those tutorials you linked.

I actually just bought an anatomy book a couple days ago, though I haven't had the chance to do more that flip through it yet.

And that's very odd. I've heard of elfquest, but have actually never seen any of it. So I don't know how that came about.

Mm, I don't know how to explain it, but your eyes seem to be lifeless (?). Myabe that's just a photo thing, I dunno.
