"not very detailed", seriously? Would you like to trample on my soul when you're done with my ego?

Dude, it's totally not detailed enough for me for a commission, but I did what I could. You're SO SWEET to think it's good enough

It comes with carrots, lettuce, a delicious seasame seed bun and a juicy beef patty. They call it a 'Big Mac'. But sure, why not, superspeed to! They can call it the 'Big XTC'...
But seriously, your drawings are brilliant, and to have such high standards is really demanding. Just be proud that you can draw like that! The most complicated thing I've drawn is a deformed fish man! [link] It's a self portait
I still have over 200 messages comments journals notes and deviations. I think there was about 800 total when I signed on a few days ago! I should really be studying medical science... The exam is tomorrow!

This one was HARD to draw, and it's not one of my better ones, but there was nothing I could do. When I get refs that tiny, I just cannot see details I need to see to draw better, so I had to make it look more like a sketch than a drawing, but the sister loved it. It was for a brother & sister in her hall having an anniversary and it was an emergency rush (naturally) but apparently she was thrilled when she got the package, so that's all that matters to me. If the client is happy, I'm happy.

I thought it was excellent, and then I saw how fast you did it...amazing!!!
Just recently decided to try gridding for the first time on my next drawing. What's your reason for not?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awww. Thank you for your kind words. I've used a grid in the past just to see if I could and if it helped, and for my way of doing things, it didn't really help me much. Basically, I don't use a grid because it just takes too long to grid everything out when I can just whip it out by hand pretty quick.

Well, I could understand it if I had your talent. I am much more methodical at this stage. I just consistantly see little perportion issues after I'm well into my drawings. It's getting madning! Thought I'd give it a try anyway. I think because I have no formal training or education in art, strictly self-taught, this discipline may be beneficial for me. I welcome any constructive comments, I am relatively new to drawing and am in the learning phase - I am a sponge (like square pants!)!

and here's a bunch of them: [link]
Do a search here at DA and on Google [link] and type in any kind of tutorial; drawing hands or how to draw hands, for example, and you'll get lots of great ideas of how to improve your skills! But most of all... practice practice practice. You've got the talent; for someone just starting you're already amazing so I know you're gonna do great!

Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to give me this info!! I have done google searches and that's very helpful. In most cases I just need to have the discipline to "practice" - I tend to just launch into my next drawing and not do "drills" to build basic skills. I see why you were a featured deviant! Get this, my degree was in Economics - great prep for drawing!! Drawing is just a hobby, but I really do want to get as good as possible. Thanks again!

Really lovely work here! You captured 'them' even you didn't know them! Cool that you moved her position...I haven't given moving things from my ref photo a try...yet...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you so much! Yeah, I moved her down to be by him and made her face bigger to match the new position. I'm always moving people closer together, or flipping them (I like to draw women to the right of the men, just looks more balanced) or putting different, easier to draw clothes on them, stuff like that *grin* Try it, you'll like it

That looks really great! You made them look much younger then what they are in the photograph! Rush job pfttt.. LOL
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL It was a rush; had to have it done, out in the mail in 2 days. AAGH! I hate rushing like that. And I always, always make people look younger. They'd freak out if I drew all the fat and wrinkles
