Art n' stuff

[Byakuran]

Hellow, I had a look through the different threads to see if there was already one, but I couldn't see it... sorry if there is one

So, I thought I'd create an art thread, in order to share some of my stuff, get feedback on it... And also because I recently decided to do some TP drawings, which I'll be starting tomorrow hopefully. IN ANY CASE. (As you may have noticed already, I have a habit of talking in roundabout phrases...)

So here are some of my more recent drawings. I thought it would also be good if other people posted their artwork here too...

Here we go!

This one has an inspiring title: "moonboy"... I'm rather like Leonard da Quirm when it comes to names, although mine also tend to be a little shorter!
All of my drawings are original designs and ideas, I never copy anything, which explains why I sometimes fail to draw certain things properly, as I just draw them how I feel they should be drawn. So... What do you guys think? ^^

I love soft B pencils

Lovely lot of texture you've got going in there Byakuran. Drawing from the imagination is always interesting and although perspective is there I like the way you've played with it - in particular the reflection of the moon

I like the inferred 'attitude' in Moonboy's stance as well.

[Tonyblack]

Very good! I like that a lot.

[Dotsie]

It's gorgeous! Well done Byakuran

I can barely draw the curtains

[Tiffany]

That is super, I wish I could draw. You are very tallented, Byakuran.

[Who's Wee Dug]

It is really good you can do all that with a pencil the detail really stands out.

[chris.ph]

very nice

[cols]

really nice Byakuran.

[Byakuran]

Wow thanks lol, I wasn't expecting all that

Does anyone else here draw, paint, and so on?

[Jan Van Quirm]

I do Byakuran - but I haven't done any Discworld stuff. Josh Kirby and Paul Kidby intimidate me too much. These days I mostly do graphic/digital stuff, but I like drawing in pencil and also charcoal although I get hopelessly messy with it

I don't draw from the imagination too much these days - I guess I got into drawing from 'life' too much, or at least photos etc though these days I tend to get DVD stills up as well though when I do it's always nice to get back in the old groove.

[Catch-up]

Wow! Really nice work!

I can barely draw stick people.

[Byakuran]

Wow I just remembered that I once drew the Discworld for an art competition about a year ago... I spent a while rummaging for it lol, it was in one of my old folders that I haven't touched in AAAAAAAAGES! Lol, I don't remember the continents and stuff looking so crappy, I was really proud of it at the time... XD

[Tonyblack]

Wow! That's incredible.

[Jan Van Quirm]

That's a very 'turtley' turtle too

The continents are OK - maybe the disc as a whole should be bigger perhaps - like the little sun/moon and you have Cori Celesti pretty much too scale I'd say

[Byakuran]

I'll probably try to revisit this one, see if I can do any better this time round I'll pay more attention to the Disc

I remember the fun I had drawing the elephants though - I did about 5 different A4 sketches beforehand, and they all looked really good, but when I downsized to fit them on the tuytle's back, it just didn't work
