Several Pieces of Work

ConceptualMind · 01-08-2004

This will take a few posts.

These are all relatively old.

I could do better work now, but I don't have nearly as much free time.

The first one I present is a Lizard done on a scratchboard. If you don't know what it is, I'll reply and tell you.

NB, sorry for the lack of quality. The image was a huge file so I had to shrink it down a bit. Those white specks shouldn't be there.

EDIT: I messed around with some settings to get it as close to normal as possible. (Brightness & Contrast)

Completed two years ago.

Here's my next one. Viewer discretion is advised.

I hope you don't puke because it's so bad. (Joke, you'll understand after you look).

Another painting done in 8th grade. This is about poster size, it's pretty big.

Color pencil drawing. Another poster sized picture, once again done in 8th grade.

ConceptualMind · 01-08-2004

Two other scratch boards. About trading card sized. These were just little doodles that took less than 5 minutes each. Argh, again done in 8th grade.

Can I ask you guys a question? Do you think I'm a noob artist? I've been wondering. I mainly just help in Photoshop and stuff, I haven't posted much work at all.

Well, that's it for now. Please comment/critique (but keep in mind these are three years old now), and answer the question.

They are all very good man, nice job. I like them.

ConceptualMind · 01-09-2004

Thanks, I could do better though. This is 2 years ago.

Young Spartan · 01-09-2004

But still, a lot better than I could do. I wish I had a wacom tablet.

ConceptualMind · 01-09-2004

Nah, this wasn't done with a wacom tablet though. Hehe, real art work. Not digital.

Ohh... scanner.. :-P

Had me fooled.. either way, nice job.

ConceptualMind · 01-09-2004

I didn't think they looked like digital art?

I thought I stated what I used for each drawing.

they look pretty good. the only problem i seem to have with them is lack of accurate proportion. you seriously need to work on your proportioning. The lines seem to be another problem as well. If you keep your wrist locked in the same position and start drawing by using your shoulder, your lines and curves will be alot smoother.

Good work. I understand these were from the 8th grade and I'm sure you could do alot better now.

still good work.

He is so good at pointing out exactly what he doesn't like. 5-0 is always a big help.

ConceptualMind · 01-10-2004

Yeah, as I pointed out these are a few years old. I was ... wow only 12 years old when I did this. I don't put a whole lot effort into it. About 75% or more.

Thanks for the tip Marc.

also subject, thank you for helping me in my post. Some people take negative posts harshly, I think they are great. Negative posts truly help you. i hate it when people take pity on you and just say awesome. i mean like then I would then always out put the same type of work when they really think its crap. I prefer people to be damn honest about my work because then it will help me in the long run.

Young Spartan · 01-11-2004

Yeah, I don't like it when they make fun of it, but I do like when they tell you what you did wrong so you can work on it.
