[chizel man]

Nice art man. What did you color it with?

[howyadoin]

Nice art man. What did you color it with?Yeah, we need more sports-related art around here.

And I'm guessing he used markers, but I could be wrong.

[chizel man]

Thats what I thought, but wasn't sure.

[jedi34567]

Thanks, guys. Yeah, I print the inks on photo paper and use Pantone Trius markers to color. On this one, I tried to create more texture by dissolving some of the black with the marker to create more shades.

[jedi34567]

[666MasterOfPuppets]

Nice stuff. And something different to boot.

[jedi34567]

Much as I hate to do it, he _had_ to be the Player of the Week after strafing the Steelers for 399 yards and 4 TD's. Some stuff to consider:
I tried to give the colors a less blotchy look, though this is still colored on photo paper.
the throwing hand was particularly difficult (here is the reference (http://d.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20071209/capt.35e0032401424340bec948da0ae6cee8.steelers_pat riots_football_mass110.jpg))
Casey Hampton is one BIG dude, but not as tall as Tom Brady

[mattx110]

It's nice, but I think this is a time you should cheat. Pick an arm position that gives a stronger sillywet and choose a different hand position. I dunno... practice throwing a ball until you find something that might translate better to 2d.

We partially odder foreshortening in photos, but they are harder to pull off in a drawing, and right now it doesn't look like his throw is giving the power of a "I'm Tom Brady and I'm an OK player... I mean, the team played great... My 26 completions in the second half... yea, I guess that helped a little" throw.

[jedi34567]

I think you are right and I did briefly consider changing the pose significantly, but I thought I could pull it off. I am really trying to not be a slave to the reference material and in this case, I definitely should have gone with a different configuration for the throwing arm.

[jedi34567]

I tried to do Anna from this reference (http://hubpages.com/u/16881_f496.jpg). Obviously, it is not a great likeness. Any ideas on what is wrong? I tried to measure the proportions and locations of facial features, etc.

http://paulmcrae.ca/picture-gallery/albums/userpics/10001/anna-nicole-smith-sketch-1024.jpg

[jedi34567]

Okay -- I did a couple of things I want to share. First, I did a contour-type drawing -- trying to get the outline of the pic without looking at the page. That is on the top (I added some details afterward). I then traced the actual reference. That is at the bottom.

http://paulmcrae.ca/picture-gallery/albums/userpics/10001/contour-sketch.jpg

I then took this experience and tried to apply it to the original drawing. Basically, I changed the outline of her face, moved the nose and mouth. Now, I think this one is a lot better, though not there yet. OF course, I am often deluded. ;-)

http://paulmcrae.ca/picture-gallery/albums/userpics/10001/anna-nicole-smith-sketch-2-1024.jpg

[armandoB]

very nice job

[jedi34567]

Okay, so here is the next iteration. Taking into consideration what I learned from the contour drawing and the tracing of the reference in addition to my attempt to re-work the original drawing, I started fresh. I didn't go to town on rendering this one, but I think the likeness is improved. Comments?

http://paulmcrae.ca/picture-gallery/albums/userpics/10001/anna-nicole-smith-sketch-3-1024.jpg

[666MasterOfPuppets]

A VAST improvement over the original version, Jedi. Good job.

[chizel man]

Lookn good. I would say that her chin looks a little to thick, but that is an easy fix.

[cg_maniac]

I kind of look at things like this when I draw, just the basic shapes:

http://www.jimthorpe-art.com/example.jpg

I look at the shapes, but I also kind of know (still learning) what is going on with the anatomy there, and the way things are moving within space - like how the planes of the face are not flat, eyes, lips, etc. - even though the photo makes it appear flat you have to kind of imagine your pencil moving through the same space, curving around the surface - I've read you can even go a little farther to help get the feeling of the image, make it seem like that line is curving away into space- like the bottom lip wrapping around.

I just noticed this looks like a Greg Land drawing now!! (had to get a slam on the Land-ster, sorry)

[jedi34567]

Just had time to scan some stuff from over the holidays. I hope everyone had an excellent Christmas! I'm interested to see what people think about my scribbles. Anywho, here we go:

Thor from a bird's eye view:

[jedi34567]

I've gotten lots of feedback about coloring these football players using markers, so I thought I would try some other techniques. I started with this drawing of Devin Hester, mostly because the uniform colors are a challenge (blue-black, for the most part). Let me know what you think.

Here is the original reference photo (http://cache1.gettyimages.com/xc/78677887.jpg?v=1&c=NewsMaker&k=2&d=17A4AD9FDB9CF193587004028B1CDC4EBFE777D95810F969 ).

Here are the pencils:

The inks:

Colored using Photoshop:

http://paulmcrae.ca/picture-gallery/albums/userpics/10001/devin-hester-vs-new-orleans-color.jpg

Colored using watercolors (I printed the inks on to watercolor paper):

I think the head might be too big. Any comments?

http://paulmcrae.ca/picture-gallery/albums/userpics/10001/andrew-bynum.jpg

[armandoB]

cool watercolors you have there

[jedi34567]

Thanks, Armando. Always trying to expand my horizons!

[jedi34567]

Here are the pencils (http://paulmcrae.ca/picture-gallery/albums/userpics/10001/c1-p1-pencils.jpg). Inked "traditionally" for the most part with Photoshop to fill in the black starfield background.

[666MasterOfPuppets]

Digging your latest stuff. Keep it up.

[jedi34567]

Feeling Kirby-ish, I dashed this off last night.

http://paulmcrae.ca/picture-gallery/albums/userpics/10001/darkseid-vs-thanos-1024.jpg

Here is a Darkseid warm-up as well:

[666MasterOfPuppets]

GO DARKSEID!!!!! :D:D

I loved that piece.

[jedi34567]

Thanks! The pose might need some work -- I whipped it up pretty fast.

[jedi34567]

I'd like to point out that I started this BEFORE halftime... ;-)

You can read more of my thoughts on the Superbowl here (http://paulmcrae.ca/?p=103).

Here is the reference (http://d.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/sp/getty/e1/fullj.bbb9268588a18562e15f6461afc5ff33/bbb9268588a18562e15f6461afc5ff33-getty-77331464rb057_super_bowl_xl.jpg). It is on charcoal paper -- I wanted to try some new kinds of media.

Some other stuff from the weekend:

Rambo (working on the likeness thing, any suggestions?):

http://paulmcrae.ca/picture-gallery/albums/userpics/10001/rambo-sketch.jpg


http://paulmcrae.ca/picture-gallery/albums/userpics/10001/pretty-girl-face.jpg


http://paulmcrae.ca/picture-gallery/albums/userpics/10001/girl-in-bikini-sketch.jpg

[666MasterOfPuppets]

WOW. That Conan drawing kicks ass. As for the Rambo one, I'm no expert, but I'd suggest you to check out the eyes. They look kinda odd. The rest is cool.

[jedi34567]

From the new Sarah Connor Chronicles. Here is the reference (http://img456.imageshack.us/img456/6871/ios2fa3.jpg). Thought I did a bit better with the likeness this time, but open to any help!

http://paulmcrae.ca/picture-gallery/albums/userpics/10001/cameron-terminator.jpg

[Shan Bruce Lee]

I'd like to see a "follow up" to the Brady piece just a few seconds later with him getting crushed :)

[jedi34567]

Never did Hellboy before, so here goes:

http://paulmcrae.ca/picture-gallery/albums/userpics/10001/hellboy.jpg

[jedi34567]

Another Hellboy...

[666MasterOfPuppets]

Damn it, jedi. Two thumbs all the way up. Your art is great.

EDIT: Looking forward to seeing more pieces.

[jedi34567]

Thanks, MoP. I'm keeping my pencil busy!

[Meyvn]

One thing as to the re-do of the Anna Nicole Smith drawing; it's pretty close, but if you fixed two things, it would but pretty much spot ON: your proportions are stretched more in the height; if you "shrunk it down" so to speak vertically, that would be big. I opened it in Photoshop and changed it from 1024 high to 950 high, and it was amazingly close. Then, I noticed you emphasized her tongue rather than her teeth. Everything else was very, very close.

Thanks, Meyvn. I'll have a look at that. Excellent observation on your part!

[jedi34567]

Inked with a brush pen and technical markers. Cleaned up a bit in Photoshop. Pencils are here (http://paulmcrae.ca/picture-gallery/albums/userpics/10001/conan-savage-pencils.jpg).

Finally, sports and comics come together!!! Did everyone see Dwight Howard's Superman dunk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvBlAFsd5I0) on Saturday?

This is the reference (http://www.nba.com/media/allstar2008/dhoward_627_080215.jpg)-- I think my perspective is a bit off, not sure why.

Let me know what you think.

http://paulmcrae.ca/picture-gallery/albums/userpics/10001/dwight-howard-superman.jpg

[Hellbaby]

I think my perspective is a bit off, not sure why.

I think it's because of the hoop's position. It looks like it is off to the side instead of in the center.

In the photo, the hoop is in the same spot as the drawing, but the photo doesn't show the lane lines extended all the way like the drawing did.

But other than that, the picture is great, especially his jersey, since it looks like it's folded and crumpled.

[jedi34567]

So I took my pencil sketch of Eli (http://paulmcrae.ca/picture-gallery/albums/userpics/10001/eli-manning-superbowl-xlii-pencils.jpg) and tried to paint using watercolor. Since I have no idea what I am doing, I would appreciate any pointers. Here is what I have so far. One question I have is: when are you done? Unlike the ink and marker drawings, I could probably sit around and paint this forever without feeling finished.

http://paulmcrae.ca/picture-gallery/albums/userpics/10001/eli-manning-watercolor.jpg

[jedi34567]

Quick sketch of Phoenix. Here (http://sunshinegirl.canoe.ca/Sunday/2008/02/24/00.jpg)is the reference. Something funny about the face that I can't quite put my finger on. As always, any feedback is welcome.

http://paulmcrae.ca/picture-gallery/albums/userpics/10001/phoenix-sketch.jpg

[jedi34567]

Comments, anyone?

Yep, I have a comment on your latest stuff:

Thank you. my Master. B-)

[jedi34567]

Here is an update to the Punisher drawing:

[jedi34567]

Tried to fix the face a little:

[Ladon]

Is it just me, or do all of your figures seem to lean in unnatural positions? She should be falling over!

[jedi34567]

Maybe she is on her knees like the reference. ;-)

[ubergeekette]

What I do when I have a little trouble w/perspective and posing is to position myself in the same position the character is. Sometimes your brain needs that click to make it make sense. Actually there was nothing too too wrong w/the face on the Phoenix just the neck needed to be soften a little, and the lips were a hair off. Other than that I think your pretty much on the right track. I noticed alot of people (especially me) have trouble putting too too much detail, or not enough detail on bodies, you don't really have that problem at all whatsoever which is a HUGE plus.

[jedi34567]

Here are the Punisher inks:

You are right. I am trying not to be too much of a slave to my reference when I use one. I often pose my hands, but I don't really pose myself. Of course, I don't really look like Phoenix, either. ;-)

Conan bests a reptilian foe...comments?

http://paulmcrae.ca/picture-gallery/albums/userpics/10001/conan-vs-snake-pencils.jpg

Great, but IMO, Conan's hair looks kinda stiff. Otherwise, it's an excellent drawing. Reminds me of the movie.

Tried a watercolor wash over King Leonidas (pencils here (http://paulmcrae.ca/picture-gallery/albums/userpics/10001/leonidas-300.jpg), inks here (http://paulmcrae.ca/picture-gallery/albums/userpics/10001/leonidas-300-inks-ps.jpg)). This is new to me, so I'm interested in feedback.

Thanks for the awesome watercolor of one of my favorite things...Me!...hehehe kidding! I look nothing like this, but I did dig the movie in spades. So, nice work and thanks for sharing!

[jedi34567]

I used Photoshop so select the gray->black areas, pasted them into a separate layer and darkened them.

http://paulmcrae.ca/picture-gallery/albums/userpics/10001/king-leonidas-watercolor-ps.jpg

[ubergeekette]

very nice, it has a certain mood w/the color choices. Anatomy is pretty much very well done. Watercolor is very hard to get just 100% right. I remember I using watercolor very nice for a week straight, then got out of it for two weeks and lost it!!!

[jedi34567]

OK -- undergarments have been modified. And I think I managed to darken the line art even a little more...

Though I love the new Doctor, I was not entirely happy with the new version of the Sontarans, so here is the classic version, Linx from "The Time Warrior" (http://www.drwho-online.co.uk/episodes/targetbook_timewarrior1.jpg)...

I love that Batman one. To be honest i'd love to have a talent like yours. You're very good. By the way, are we able to make requests?

Thanks for the kind words. Look around, there are many, many talented people posting on this forum.

If there is anything specific you would like to see, let me know and if it strikes my fancy, I might just do it.

[Fleming1987]

Ok, i'll take a look around and see what there is. I'll end up posting a request and keep my fingers crossed. :smile:

Your latest stuff is great, jedi. Kudos for your great talent.

[jedi34567]

Thanks, MOP.

I did a few drawings of this theme last August and September, so I thought I would give it another try. No references or anything, just sketched it while sitting on the front porch.

[666MasterOfPuppets]

Cool stuff. It really transmits Banner's sense of loneliness and the horror that looms. Two thumbs up.

This came to me as I was watching the game last night...

Caps' shoulder looks off, but otherwise I can say with certainty that you're just getting better and better with every drawing.

[jedi34567]

Thanks, MOP. I appreciate it.

Based on Miss Michigan, Kirsten Haglund (http://www.missmichigan.org/2007/p7hg_img_2/fullsize/Oakland_Kirsten_Haglund.jpg), for no other reason than I thought she was a very pretty face.
