Post your original artwork

[Drakon]

Forgive me if a thread like this already exists somewhere.   I want people to post their artwork it can be a drawn picture, animation, music, singing, dancing, poetry, anything that's an art form!

Here's the music I made in my spare time:

Bumping 'dis thread.

If you guys are interested in drawing cars, there's this really nice youtube channel with real, informative tutorials. And all drawings aren't "super pointy design drawings with enormous hub cap wheels" either, which really helps drawing, you know, a normal car. (But many are)

So trying to apply some of the techniques found there I actually made something that resembles a proper vehicle:


Sure, it's rough and not finished but it's getting there. You should try it out if you're bored!

Edit:
Update!


Redrew the front, sketched some wheels, added a bunch details and stuff. The back panel, which is the sexiest thing about this car, was hard. Also, it's not totally correct  (the lights are too "fat")

[Ji-L87]

Oh, snap. That's some nice, high level stuff. Great detail (and folds!). So you can draw buildings too? That's on my list, for sure

[Ji-L87]

I've always wished I was better at drawing w/out photo reference, but perspective and foreshortening thwart me every time. ...Just based off your car sketch, it looks like you're not afflicted by the same problem.

Oh, you should've seen the sketches I on paper last night, before getting some guidance. Not even boxes would foreshorten correctly
Also notice how the original sketch for this drawing has a really long nose, and while it's hard to see, other problems as well. (Roof too far to the right)

Edit: And using plenty references for this. Wouldn't be able to draw those juicy details that give it character otherwise, or see that the nose, while long, thanks to it's shape "disappears" when viewed from certain angles.

Nice! I dig the dual coloring method. Marker + computar-enhanced bucket tool fillings?

Yup, it's fun to start traditionally (sketching in pencil/coloring in marker), but then scanning it in and finishing it up on LeComPuterie.

I draw now and then, maybe once a year. Not really too often. This was the last thing I have drawn in a long while, and it was never finished, more of just a doodle while I was taking a lunch break during our move late last March.

Lol, that car look just like a fairlady z.

Holy crap that dog looks like a black and white photo it's so realistic! 

[Digi.k]

some  amazing realism there.. I really am too impatient for doing fine detail and quite like to rush my stuff..

These are some of the more recent stuff I did lately looking at mixing video game culture mixing with Christianity and looking at renaissance art for a project.  I did around 13 pieces but these are 3 of them

Jonah and the Whale


Tower of Babel


David and Goliath


and old speed painting I quickly did on a fellow art student..

[Gogan]

Niice style. Love the David and "Goliath". Anything Space Invaders is good for me!

Incredible, Gogan. Truly amazing!  I'd be interested to know a bit more about your process.  What pencils and markers do you use?  Any cleanup or processing after scanning?

I use grey, black and white colored pencils. And Prismacolor grey markers. I start with an image, I pencil the outline, then focus on all the highlights and shadows of the image im sourcing. Was really into how light reflects off different surfaces at the time. The markers are in like a 10 pack or so of light to dark shades.

I start gradually working into a shadow and am constantly changing marker shades, workin it, feelin the flow, until they start to blend into eachother. If you look close, the hair on Phil (the dog) are pencil strokes. the "wet" nose is dotted white pencil. The specular of the eyes are made by white paint, I use a thin brush and jus dot it. It really helps bring the eyes to life.

As far as post process, jus a little curves in photoshop, to make the darks a darker and the lights lighter. ..I have a crap ass scanner. They pretty much look that way irl.

This is a shadow/highlight study I did in college, not scamned, just iphone pic. Done on brown paper (forget what kind) with only a black and white colored pencil, and a lot of absence of color:

K I'm rambling, im done now..lets keep this artwork goin!
