Description I'll put a description here when I can think of something decent to write..
Markers and coloured pencils on bristol board. Took a lot longer than I expected

Edit: Like the fool that I am, I went in and reworked the image a bit. Added a [streaky] background and messed around a bit with the shading/highlighting.
Hopefully it isn't too dark...Apparently my laptop makes things appear brighter than they actually are.

I remember this one! Mostly because it was hanging on James' fridge, and he and I had like every single class together. Haha.
But it's cool getting to see the rest of your art now. Yays!

Haha, the good old days, am I right?

Most of the stuff up here is ancient... I stopped drawing for almost an entire year before I picked it up again (thanks Bennington).

I know exactly what you mean. I drew all the time when I was in highschool, out-of-school art classes and everything... But once I got to Bennington I was able to take a grand total of 2 art classes and neither of them was drawing, and I barely drew anything the entire time, and most of it sucked. Started up again in the last month, and I feel really rusty.

Aw, thanks :3

This character actually belongs to my ex boyfriend... I should probably give him the original, but I'm still somewhat attached to it

I totally understand! I really love the character though. You should do more with your characters! They have such potential!

dakazi In reply to NorwayFox [2005-08-11 19:32:26 +0000 UTC]

It looks a bit different in real life :3 The scanner messed up most of the browns and I had to mess around with 'em in Photoshop to get them as close to the original as possible.

I didn't use printer paper for once, either! XD

No printer paper? Shocking! XD; I'd still like to see it though. ;o;

That's so amazing I had to favorite it before I even commented. I was wondering when we were going to see some more art from you, clearly it was worth the wait. Markers and colored pencils you say? It's so sharp and clearly done that I thought it was digital. Awesome critter

I've been meaning to get some [real] art up, honest :3

Did a whole bunch of sketches whilst at the Cape, but I've been too busy to sit down and colour 'em

dakazi In reply to twiztid [2005-08-10 03:46:53 +0000 UTC]

I worked on it on and off for about...5 days I'd say.
That's not counting the first sketch that I scrapped, either XD

But it was worth it. I'm finally satisfied with something I've done for the first time in months ;o;
