Artistry in the Escapist!

[Eclipse Dragon]

I mostly draw fanart - all my original creativity was sucked away from me by my overly-ambitious sister.

<spoiler=Houndoom>snip

The paper texture makes the whole thing remind me of a Japanese painting, were you actually going for that effect?
If you weren't it's cool anyway. I like it.

I actually don't think I was - at the time. Now that you mention it, it DOES look like that style. Thanks for pointing that out, I never noticed before!

You're a more honest fellow than I am. When somebody ask me that question I go...

"Yeah....YEAH SURE, of course, I was completely going for that, you read my mind you silly mind reading person. Also it's titled "Wind" and was inspired by the brave battles fought by samurai... and the myths of hellhounds."

Just kidding...

Well I actually drew my own avatar as part of a comic on my blog. I don't draw very well, but I like to so I do it.

All this is making me feel inadequate at art. Just, I know I can never do stuff as good as you lot because I've never practised enough to be good at art. Yet, in a silly rush I picked art as one of my subjects for GCSE's, and I'm really starting to regret it and worry that I'll make a fool of myself.

In other terms, this is a very negative compliment to you all.

Hey, I just picked drawing up this year. Everyone has potential. Just gotta work at it, if its something you enjoy. I'm sure you'll do fine with your project

Damn, only last year! Well, I think my main two problems are that my drawing tablet isn't working as well as I wanted it to, so I'm going to have to wait till Christmas to upgrade to a Wacom Intuos tablet. And the fact that I'm nearly always tired, most of the time the reason I don't practise art is because I'm too tired to bother. I just feel drained, maybe I have some sort of condition or something.

But yeah, I guess I can maybe get a good grade at the end of year 11. After all my mum is an AMAZING artist, she used to paint murals for really wealthy people's houses and such. And my brother is also a brilliant artist, when his art was shown at my school's A-Level art exhibition his art was the one that everyone was talking about. So yeah, I guess I have a lot of help too.

Anyone interested?

LOL That reminds me of my sister. Always real suave and supposedly doing everything on purpose. xD

Man, I wish I had a drawing tablet. I'm stuck with pencil and paper. Can't afford anything fancy

My tablet was roughly 30 bucks and works just fine for me~ I think pencil and paper's an important medium, too; I know people whose drawings look much more proficient on paper than digitally~

They're a pretty damn good investment. But you've got to make it so that they're not the only thing you can draw on, which happened to me for a while. I prefer drawing tablets on Photoshop, but I could still draw on paper if I wanted to.

As a project for computer graphics, I made this. My first motion tween animation.

Spoiler: Open it in a new window and make the window small. Motion blur is very taxing.
