Description This is concentration piece #12! WOOHOO, I'M DONE WITH MY CONCENTRATION! *dances*

I took a zillion pictures of all kinds of laundry before I was inspired at 1am on some random night to set this up. I had to creep downstairs with a flashlight to take this pic, heh.

This is one of my only pieces that has an actual background *gaspshock*. Like the rest, it took awhile to color, especially the orange liquid stuff and the Palmolive liquid. Those were kinda annoying. BUT I'M FINISHED! YAY!

I'm also sending this original to the AP graders.

Umm, it's late, and I can't think of anything else to say, besides the usual "I <3 comments and critique" schpiel.

Ahhh. The such intense care taken to the highlights on the objects is so beautiful. It manages to have a sketchy feel while still feeling so sleek and neat. Really have nothing to complain about in this. So nice.

wonderful job with the liquids. The proportions/shape of that Snuggle bottle is weirding me out though o.O;

Question,
When you're doing a pre-sketch for your drawings, what's your process? Like do you draw the layout with a regular pencil or a color pencil? Stuff like that.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

dokusaisha-chama In reply to tigerpurr [2007-09-20 03:32:56 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. The Snuggle bottle is actually a really odd-shaped bottle, so it pretty much broke my sense of proportion to draw it, haha.

Answer: I photograph my set-ups, grid the picture, and sketch in pencil (HB so it doesn't smear much, and lightly so I can erase). Then I go in with colored pencil.

griding!? Ugh I hate doing that. I mean it's cool that it works for most people but I always seem to screw it up.

Thanks a bunch!

Totally well done

Heh, thanks! Yea, towards the end, it was hard to come up with ideas. I have tons of bright shoes that I wanted to draw, but I already drew a pair of shoes, etc. The detergent and stuff was the end of the wire there .

Oh, wow o_o!
Ah, I showed your page to my boyfriend, that came up saying he couldn't but watch you ΓΉ_ΓΉ So he will be doing it in a while XD!
Ah, we wanted to ask you a thing... how much did it took to do this drawing, for example, or the others in your gallery o_O?

dokusaisha-chama In reply to Kuruccha [2007-05-05 21:57:31 +0000 UTC]

It takes me a really long time to do these drawings. Most of them are really small (smaller than 9x12, usually) but since I use colored pencil, coloring them takes awhile. I'd say maybe 6-10 hours total for this piece. That's just an estimate though, as I didn't actually time myself, and I tend to lose track of time when I'm drawing, heh.

Thanks for sharing my work with your boyfriend!

Oh, don't worry, we discover new things and we share them between us XD! We use to do that And when he saw your drawing he couldn't rexist XD His name is ~TexGex ... I think he should have already come in yours

About time... wah, SO LONG O_O! Another reason why I could never do such a thing X3

Hehe, that was the last part I did before the background. It was kinda annoying to get all those colors in there, but it's different from what I usually do. I'm glad you like it!
