If I could draw I would mostly draw tits, but occasionally also the area that immediately surrounds tits.

Quote from ChiliFan :

I think it's more the fact that in my experience, art subjects are graded on your ability to experiment with varying media, and extrapolate your ideas into new ones. That, and the whole "relate your work to that of other artists", which I am bad at.

So um if you can draw but you can't produce several hundred drawings a month and then bullshit about them enough to fill three sketchbooks, don't study art. A friend of mine got an A* in GCSE Art for painting stick men over a map of the London Underground, but he had some interesting things to say about it all. I usually come up with "I wanted to draw this so I did" and that's that.

To right!! I study Graphic Design at uni and were forced to spend weeks researching and developing ideas... if you so much think of the final piece you'll get shot down! Yet at the end you'll come up with a very nice final piece but someone who writes an essay on each decision and designs something poorly gets a better mark because they justify the poor design

Our whole contextual studies program over the last 2 years has been totally fine art based... our lecturers are determined to turn us into artists! The computer is just a tool they say, so whats a paint brush

Quote from Crashgate3 :

I *love* the style the 4x4 picture is drawn/coloured in.

Thanks, I like to try different techniques depending on the type of car

Few more

copics <3

Been watching the pictures in this thread, you guys are amazing. If anyone remember "draw a cat with eyes closes" thread - that's how I draw normally.

Thumbs up to everyone posting these awesome pictures!

Pretty much an all time design guy now, but ocasionally i still do a bit of concept art and such just to keep that side of the skill fresh.

Screw copics, it's all about the chartpacks. <3

Woah! Are they done by hand? They look incredible!

I'm trying to figure out why you would want to draw John Terry and Ashley Cole, but whatever floats your boat I suppose

Started on something new.

Looking good!

I've started adding darker tone to mine and i'm moving onto the neck and body. Will get a pic tomorrow, I have study leave

Pantone smell a lot more

It's an intoxicating scent

They can be tough to find sometimes, but in my experience they are by far the best markers for velum and marker paper renders (probably canson as well, but I've only used Prismas on canson ), and they're the cheapest that I've found, as well.

Plus they will last you forever. Seriously. I've never had one go dry, nor I have I met anyone who has. Ever. People keep telling me their Copics have gone dry (being properly cared for!) as quickly as 6 months after purchase. I've talked to guys who've had their Chartpacks for years with no signs of drying out.

Yea, but they suck.

wonderful sketches by everyone...one of my best is this one; it's not finished and I'm afraid it will never be because I don't want to ruin it.

Quote from Senninha25 :

As it's a line drawing at the moment, take some copies and try out various shading/colouring techniques on them so you don't spoil your original.

What he said. Most designers do their alterations/renderings on an overlay of the original sketch. It allows you to correct mistakes of the original, fix design aspects you don't like, etc etc.

I've lost pretty much all of my works from past, these are few i've manage to do in past few years, i hardly find a motivation or will to take a pencil and draw something.

Also did an BMW which looks a bit better but a friend has that picture so no photo.

If you havent noticed, I just splash some colors on paper. Its fun and refreshing for the brain even without talent.
For the paper I just take old notices from the bulletin board, big & free paper
