deltaoutlaw's fledgling attempts

what is that, striped bass? that is good!

[deltaoutlaw]

It's a yellow perch.

sorry, it's been years since I last baited a hook

[deltaoutlaw]

No worries. Fishing and hunting are probably the only two things that I know enough about to be considered more than proficient. lol

How do you get your images to post right on the page instead of as a thumbnail?

[crazyredlady]

I've been using photobucket, use the link options on the pictures you upload and copy the one for forums....when you post it, just insert image, paste your link and bada bing, you're got full page art

[deltaoutlaw]

Ok, thanks.

This is what I'm best at. It's hard for me to transition to comic art because I always want my drawings to be as close to a photograph as possible. That's one of the reasons I love stippling. It's as close to photographic as I can get.

Comic art doesn't need to be close to photographic to be effective, with simple styles working as well as complex ones ( often better ). To transition to comic storytelling would mean that the moving aspects of the pictures would be foremost. However, I see no reason why your style couldn't be adapted to be a really good comic. Perhaps start with really fluid, expressive sketches for the layouts, then rendering them with realistic detail and shading after the page dynamics are set?

The problem I have is that I can't never get enough details on the faces when I draw them small and it just grates on my nerves. I've been trying to force myself to be content with a more simplistic approach but it's not easy.

The fish drawing is beautiful. Must've been very time-consuming, but looks like it was well worth it.

As a previous poster mentioned, the proportions on your figure drawings look a bit off. I'd suggest really studying the shapes and proportions of the human figure, and laying down concrete sketches before going into details. It's boring and painful to do, especially when you've got a great idea in mind you're dying to put down on paper, but necessary.

Try taking pictures of your head in extreme angles and sketching it out. That always helps me, because some of the perspective angles on faces is hellish to draw.

Been a while since I've updated.

[deltaoutlaw]

Threw some ink on it.

I can't lie, you anatomy is really bad and your faces are unappealing to look at. I advise you work on drawing people from life, rather than just photographic reference. Breasts aren't just giant beachballs that stick out of the pecks.
