This month is devoted to all things mechanical! Robots, cars, airplanes, trains, toasters you name it!
Here's some robots to start out with. Robots are useful!

Been working on a design for a tattoo - of course, I didn't take into account the weird shape that it would need to be for a shoulder piece, so I've got to do some extensive reworking. Still, for an initial design I think it's pretty neat. I'm just lucky I didn't get too much further before I realized how much I'd have to modify it.

I know it's a sort of convention (or something), but how is it possible to have a forehead like that? There aren't even any muscles there in places (in real people, that is).

So maybe you guys can help me. I have my bamboo tablet working with gimp, and all the dynamics work EXCEPT pressure opacity. I just want to color Captain Hamerica:(

You mean pressure hardness, size, and color work, but not opacity? That's pretty weird. Does opacity with a mouse work?

Tablets are an utter mystery to me still so I can't really help you there.

Speaking of opacity though, you think its better to use that to color something or just try to match the color by eye?

Yeah, I have to manually change the opacity, which is a pain in the rear end. And that's the only dynamic I really use. I'm kind of wondering if it could be the stylus itself. Can poo poo get stuck up in that, and need to get cleaned out of it?

And scarycave, I'm not really using it for different colors, so much as blending them together.

Switch to MyPaint or Krita. There's also GIMP Paint Studio which is a digital painting optimized build of GIMP.

It has to be a software issue. All the dynamics use the same input, and if one works, the rest should, too.

Once again a few days away from drawing regularly turned into an abject fear of going anywhere near a canvas. But I'm getting over it now (I hope). Here's a superheroine from a photograph…

Obviously I gridded this out. I discovered mid-render that I'd lost my middle line, and the reason why was because I let the grid come unaligned from the source image. That particular fuckup notwithstanding, I feel fairly satisfied with the way this came out.

Manga studio is actually becoming my favorite drawing program. It's a shame I rarely draw any more.

Keeping up with my daily practice. I find it really hard to paint rather than draw, I started with manga, and the urge to give everything clean simple lines is deeply ingrained.

Bit ill, so I thought "Y'know, this is a good time to practice!" First sketch of the day... Practicing light/shade by inking in the style of older comic artists.



The (relatively) flat coloured version though, doesn't look grand. But still...



...No, I didn't follow head proportions amazingly closely, why do you ask?

EDIT: On reflection, there are light patches here that are just plain wrong, like the one on the left side of the neck. Sadface.

EDIT 2: And a second quick sketch, with a blueline in case anyone wants to point out I've got my proportions wrong (I did... Dammit.)

Hey, long time no post. Here's some stuff from the past few days:


Face practice, sketchbook to digital. Some cartoony, some more realistic.


Drawing, thinking about Dwarf Fortress.




Something mechanical! *edit* Forgot to say, aside from the fish and some color tweaking, this was made in Krita. I'm digging it for some stages of production.

I felt guilty about not putting anything robot themed in, so here's a basic sketch of a basic robot leaping gracefully. Hope his legs are reinforced.

Hnnng.

All I can contribute. Back to drawing textures for not-spider-porn.

^^^Oh. This is awkward. I swear I'm a red-blooded male, not an octopus attracted to eight-limbed things underwater. It's just the shading of the aquanaut. I have nothing against women in skimpy clothing.
