Just some sketches - pics

[andavri]

Well, seeing Whitney's and Maddie's drawings sort of made me want to show off what I've been doing drawing-wise--not that mine are anywhere near that good, polished, or anything, but meh.


This was based off a photograph of Leighton Meester who plays Blair on Gossip Girl. I don't actually watch the show but I found the photograph while looking for something else and loved the pose and the expression, so I had to draw it.


One of my rare attempts at a body and clothes. Notice the stiff uncomfortable positioning of the arms, typical with my drawings. I've got a thing for doing closed eyes right now. I mean I can draw them open, but I'm actually having more fun with closed.


*dies of embarrassment* This pose I found on a Twilight wallpaper, and even though I'm not that big a fan of Twilight as a book, I love the visual style from the movie. It again just called to me and said "draw me". It shows off, I think, most of my flaws as an artist: Nudity, stiff positioning, bad hands, the lines are shaggy beyond belief and his face... Meh.


And this is my latest drawing, two days ago actually Just random elves, I like his profile, hate his hair, and she's pretty but sort of bland.

All of these were drawn in CS2 with a mouse, so long smooth lines are something I can only dream of... Hopefully that tablet will be here on my birthday.

You're so good with faces. They're all lovely. I also don't think the positioning in the 'Twilight' poster based picture is stiff at all. Looks quite natural to me.

I'm sure you could do wonderful things with a tablet. I'll keep my that you'll get one.

Edit: And by the way, I really love your signature. So pretty.

I like it! I especially love the girl in the last drawing!

I can't believe you drew that with a mouse!!!!

[Madizzo]

Omg a drawn with mouse? It makes me just thinking of how much trouble I would go through If i ever tried to do something like this with a mouse.

They're awesome! Love the closed eyes...

[andavri]

Yep, with a mouse. I've got a lot of practice mousing stuff.

Thanks, Whitney, Kirsten, & Maddie!

A mouse! That is brilliant Steph! That certainly must take some kind of hectic control to move to get such beautiful lines!

I agree wholeheartedly.

Really pretty drawings, Steph.

I personally think that given the limitations of drawing with a mouse, that you've done amazingly.

I'm really looking forward to you and your tablet - you're going to be awesome!

Thanks, Felicity, Moon, and Kiri!

I really want a tablet, drawing with a mouse is something that I can do, but occasionally it frustrates me, especially as soooooooooooo much of CS2 is designed around pressure sensitivity, something that you just can't get with a mouse. >_<' But I will get it eventually.

ETA: Oh, yeah, thanks, also, Moon & Whitney about the sig, I really love it too. Even when I switched over my av I had to leave the sig.

Edited: to add the bit about the sig.

Wow! With a mouse...
I love the closed eyes. Beautiful, beautiful!!

I couldn't draw that with pencil and paper much less with a mouse. I did try drawing some cartoon animals once but gave up quickly because they were really bad.
