I like poo jokes [May. 11th, 2008|11:36 pm]

Flies have weird faces.

Just thought you might like to know, I drew almost each element seperately; each head, the bodies/poop, and the speach bubble [just the writting and the little tail for the bubble] were all drawn apart, at different sizes and then joined in photoshop.
So there ya go. I am lazy.

Blast from the past on yo ass. [May. 10th, 2008|11:12 am]
[mood | nostalgic]

Just because it's the weekend and there's not much going on here on the ole Lj, I thought I'd post somethin boring.

I was going through my wardrobe full o crap, and found my old school visual arts book. I can't believe I left school ten years ago..and still haven't done anything with my life. Anyway, that's for another time, I flipped through it and these two have something I can talk about.


So we had to draw examples of each type of art and I picked this one to draw for a historical study.
It's The Equestrian Statue of Gattamelata.


And this is more than likely the image I used for reference out of a book.

When I drew it this kid in my class was looking at it, using some expletives, and made a comment about how I tend to make things better looking when I draw it. I guess that's my style. I try to make them cooler looking. I mean, reality is so boring.




'The Olympian' by Daphne Mayo.
I drew this in my book in year ten art as well, and just needed a drawing for a bronze sculpture example, but when I left year ten and we moved to Queensland, the following year I did a Tafe drawing course and we went to the brisbane art gallery and I found it. It was weird seeing it in person, and we had to draw an art peice so I sat down in front of it and drew it again.


Edit: photobucket , being ghey,  have removed this drawing from my account, cause they're fucken stupid. I should take it as a compliment as it must look so realistic someone could get a chubby and bust a nut over it.
I sent em an angry email.    Whatever you do, don't use photobucket.

Looking for a photo of it online, I couldn't find one, but found out Daphne Mayo was a queenslander. I mean, Up there, I just wrote what was on the plaque, not realising. The art teacher probly told me at the time, but who remembers shit like that.
I can see some boxes I drew in it, but I don't know why. I was probly using it to highlight areas to work on or somethin  *shrugs*

So yeah, Drawings that are ten years old now. I gave em a lick of fixative to preserve them. They were getting pretty smudgey cause I used to be a big fan of the 2B. A habit I've since dropped. 2B is a harsh mistress. I still have some 2B leads in case I need a dark lead, but have since seen the error of my ways and use a harder lighter lead. I bought a box of 4H pencils and have sharpened the one I've been using probly a total of three times so far. That box is a lifetime supply for me. I've been using the blue leads for sketches lately. I like it. Lets me still pencil over it, and then ink. Handy stuff.

Yeah, I dunno how it works if he was sitting down.

Two art postings in one day? Outragous!! I get up i the mornings now it seems. That probly won't last long, but it means I have more time for drawing. I might try to post something everyday next week. I say next week cause it's almost the weekend and the internet is boring on the weekend.
I got this thing I started like, sunday and still haven't finished. I'm over it. It's just a one page comic.

all the cool kids were doing it. [May. 8th, 2008|12:22 pm]

I do believe this is the first ever pixal art I've done.

I did it in MS paint at a teeny tiny size, all zoomed in and then racked my brain trying to figure out how to enlarge it and save it and a good quality. How do those crazy pixel art kids do it??  I tried all sorts of photoshop trickery and eventually realised I should just zoom in on it, and take a screencap.

Some people might think they know what this about, but they'd be wrong.
Some people might then think "well maybe it's about that other thing" but they'd probly be wrong too.
It's about something I was reminded about, that I've actually mellowed about now.

In other news, I changed my colour scheme on here cause the 'Granny Smith Apples" look I tried only lasted a couple of days before I hated it. I used this http://kuler.adobe.com/ site for the right look. I went with' Orange on Olive'.

Ok, so my likenesses are never terribly accurate, and usually just accurately terrible, but a prize to any person in the audience who can guess who this is.
It's obscure. I mean you'd have to really be into ..this thing, to then later think of this guy..

Some dicking around with pens. [Apr. 21st, 2008|04:43 am]
[mood | lonely]
[music |Nick Cave songs are far too long. GTFO my radio you aging, pedo lookin, goth!!]

I haven't drawn in ages. I should get back to it. I got a list of thigs I'm supposed to be drawing, but I'm a slack arse.. but you probly already knew that.   So I decided to do some warm up sketches, and I like drawing girls, cause girls are easy.
Now, I say warm up sketches but I started at like 3 in the morning, and now it's almost dawn and I should head off to bed.



I used a total of 4, count em 4 pens on this page alone. Crazy!!
Oh, and a Blue Non repro lead!!! That's just how I roll.

I was just trying some stuff out. These aren't from photos or anything, I was just havin some fun. I say that cause I always get asked who they are. They're nobodys, I just like making up characters.
