Topic: The Merry Doodles and Sketches Thread!

[Veraal]

I dunno if this type of thread will work, maybe it'll be deserted in a few days...

but here goes:

I decided to make a thread where we can all post our drawings and artwork.
It does not need to be magnificent quality, just something you'd like to share.

Like this:


Go ahead, post!

Drawn in correlation with my sister. Basically, if it's drawn badly, I did that part.

Could someone teach me how to shade?

[Veraal]

@ Kish, nice one, like the shadeing on the horse!

@ Patty, depends on what sort of shading you want to use. draw something with colours, so that we can decide. Like a t-shirt, always works.

[PatMan33]

Well I guess I mean like shadows... is it as simple as using a black pencil and slowly making it darker as you go?

[Veraal]

Basically, yeah. You draw harder as you want the shadow to get darker.

I do it like this:



First i draw the shirt
Then i put on the basic colour
Then i draw a "border" for the shadow
Then i select the base colour, darken it in the colour box(it's called Farge, in my case. Norwegian ) I marked the colours i used with red, You have it in MSPaint, so you don't really need flash.
Then, i remove the line after i have filled with the darker colour.

You just need to, sort of imagine what the shadow would look like.

Flash is the best universal means of drawing.

Stealing is bad.

[Veraal]

That would be a good idea, flash is my favourite tool when it comes to drawing and animating.

[PatMan33]

Stealing is bad.

Already have, my dear... already have.

[Veraal]

Do you draw with your mouse? i heartily reccommend one of the Wacom tablets, if you are going to draw hardcore, that is.

[gec05]

Seconded. The cheapest can run you a little over $100 but is worth it for the quality and how much you use it.

[Veraal]

If you see on my screenshot, the fourth icon next to the Start button.
I use it alot. 

But let's get back on topic!

[Kishmond]

@ Kish, nice one, like the shadeing on the horse!

Uh, yeah that was my sister, and the stick figure, that was me. 
She's been drawing horses since she could hold a crayon.

I always wanted to get flash to mess around with drawing and basic animating. When i say basic animating it will probably be a static image moving from left to right across the screen. At least learn to do something cool.
