Darksiders - War. Though I only referencing him in my head so there are some differences to the ori.

Quick sketch for today.

Seriously I beginning to doubt your comparison skill. How do you compare a cow with an ironing board?

Another sketch for today.

As long you don't make silly comparison. I can even say my previous sketch looks like Cammy from Streetfighter but doesnt all anime looks the same? Other than that, even if you say my drawing sucks kah or messy kah or crazy kah, I don't mind.

like i said, it's a pen sketch. At first I wanted to draw a lady, then somehow my hand slip and drew the arm bigger........so i improvised. And the pen I'm using produce constant ink flow so beautiful stroke not possible.

......even though most of the works I posted here are pen doodles does not mean I want to be a pro pen artist. These are more like what you be doing on top of a white tuition table while waiting for the teacher to come in, in this case on a bunch of scrap papers I found. Feel wasted if I just throw away the sketches I made so I decided to capture them and post them out. Guess I can call myself amateur . Actual art I will do it on wacom.

Cause I never did put up a thorough work . Maybe one day. I thought someone said doodle is also a form of art. Am I in the wrong thread?

Challenge...........Denied! Too much work.

Girl or guy?

Anyway today's sketch:

I only said Challenge denied cause too much work, doesn't mean I don't know how lah. I find it kind of pointless getting riled up for this and wasting extra time drawing something I can do half that with my right.

I'm fusion too. Though personally I find realism art based on photos somewhat ......uninspiring. If you already have a photo out of something, why paint it, is what I would normally think whenever I see this kind of art (except potrait painting based on life model). Potrait painting of the dark skinned woman by dragonreine is one example I find inspiring.

Don't be mistaken. It does not need to be anime style. Just something out of the ordinary or something that does not look like it's obviously copied from a photo.

Realism is awesome of course. Just not keen on the copying part cause it just feels like tracing no matter what technique they used (with exception of hyper-realism copying). Personally, I feel art should be something different from "real" by putting in stuff that you cannot find in "real" world. Or else I be in photography club by now. Also, art should be free flowing, that is without constraint of following what the photo tells you to do but rather what you want it to be.

There are no obvious distinction between man and women when drawing them. It depends on how used you are in drawing them. If you draw shoujou type style for too long, your artwork tend to stay that way without you realizing it. Your definition of man tend to be stiff and tough are just general perception or "guideline", and need not necessary follow them. There are sissy male types and also muscular female aka Helga. Just like marvel or dc artist idea that all superheroine need to wear tight suit costumes to show their genders. It's best to break from that perception if you want to expand further in your artwork and be different from the rest.

Even I cannot see the difference until i look at it more carefully. Try picking a more challenging work and drastic change.

Added on October 23, 2011, 9:26 amSad to say, everything in this photo is wrong (even the couple's pose). Too cut and pasty, too desaturated, too messy, too misty and the lighting is all over. The tall grass beside the water source makes it look like it was taken in swampy area.

Suggestion: Try positioning the couple in the centre of the picture and get them to look at the camera, hold hands and SMILE. Remove the boulder. If possible, I would suggest different scene cause it looks damp there and out of place.

PS: Normally couples go to places to take photograph on the spot. Why this one, they pose in studio with green screen at the back and pretend to be in China? If I have to compare, looks like wedding couple in survival show.

You mean for sentimental value or money?

Got some chance to dump a quick sketch here. Bit too bright and blurry cause need to hide the white blanko part.
