| I realize now how badly I need photoshop. pencil art in itself just isnt hte same. |
from Innotech, I just felt like pour in some of my thought on pencil art.
Its true that most of the winners of the fanart contest are cgs, but that doesn't mean that a good pencil art is any less apploused.
Take my two pieces for example: I spent as much effort on both. I would even say that I spent more time on the cg one. However in the end, almost everybody agreed that the pencil one is alot better. I believe u people will say the same thing becuase sadly, I felt the same way too.
Maybe it's becuase I was very inexperienced in cgs.And the faces are not as cute( the cg ones)
My point should be clear now, that I don't think a good pencil art drawn with good skill and much effort will be overlooked.So don't lose ur faith forks.......
As for me, I am drawing mostly cgs now, becuase that is what I've always dreamed about....To draw with computer. Also becuase I am already very experienced in using pencil, in comparison with CG.
Also my favourite tool is not computers, but water colour.
My drawing might not be convincing enough so check this out, some pics by a friend of mine. 10 times better than mine work...
some crazy stuff, showing u what pencil can do.
by the way, I am using imageshack, becuase I can't seem to find the place in anime source that alowed u to up-load ur image. can someone give me the link here? thx alot  |

Allow my eyes and jaws to pop open at looking through the pencil work in this post...
* 5 minutes later*
Okay, facial muscles have recovered from the awe now.
Basala, that friend of yours is really, really good... and the first picture of yours ( the pencil work of the two girls ) is very good as well. Like you said, the pencil work version is better than the CG version. |

i just love a good line quality. i think if pencil and pen are done with skill, which you and your friend have , then there is some undeniable beauty in the slight nuiances you get from it. to try to get the same nuiances from cg would take so much time to be not worth it. imo, cg is good for looking at on the computer or on the tv. in person, i think the old skool methods *usually* show more beauty.
basala, if you have some watercolor stuff you could post, i would love to see it. |

| CG is nice but it often looks quite "artificial" due to the nature of the software tools. They are based on mathematical calculations and that doesn't give as much ground for giving a unique feel to your art (unless you are very very experienced and talanted). Using various hand drawing tools like pens, watercolors, etc. is usually much more effective if you know how to use them well. |

I have not been painting in water colour much lately, and most old works are half a canada away from me, so I can fulfill ur request. I did post a few on my first few posts here, if u scan trough my posts u can find them.
I agree with what u said about pencil drawings and cgs.

great drawings both pencil and drawing. i think its a bit ecchi though, but that's why ilke it so much .i think cg would never replace pencil. Your friend is an awesome artist. Starscream is great(love transformers, theyre just so cool how they transorm.) the second picture is from a game right? i forgot what game. i think i saw it from gaming magazine. that one is just amazing to the last detail. _________________ Fly!

how 'bout another....
wow......
Both you and your friend are amazing in the field of pencil drawing [basala] I love your little ecchi picture, those girls are just so cute! X3 I can't draw quite as good as you-I got a long ways to go. Keep up the CG+show us the original ones as well if you do. _________________ The hardest person to forgive is yourself~ |

To all the wow people:
Thank you so much, love you people.
to AngelKing:
I am acually a commoner now, how surprising( though I havn't been here for a while.)
to KamiNoSeigi:
I didn't draw it, My friend did
to NoyPi:
Ha ha, glad you like the echii pics, I draw them time to time. I am not a big fan of the transformer, but you are right. The design and the look of the robots are way cool.
to raizen09:
I envy him too. I always make the paper too messy before I even get to the detail.
to Takasan:
I am not half as good as my friend there....he is just insaine (at least to me).And I will try to post more. thx.
Thankyou again for your comments and reply.
Here is another CG I did this year.Its of the same charactors(cat and dragon fly girl) and its more echii.be warmed before you see it.
http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/5863/scan0008donepantsvag10501kb.jpg
This one was done around July this year. When I compare it with The one above, I see some improvement so I am some what happy about it. The one up there now looks like trash. I used to think that I did a good job...lol
One thing I dont like about this new one is the hair. I have never been able to do a good job with the hair doesn't matter what medium I use. |
