This is my drawings

[anigen]

well actually it also kinda has some bogswallop in there

yeah i'd definitely say it looks like a mix between legendaryfrog and bogswallop

[Gerkinman]

I can see the bogswallop, especially with the thick messy lines. Dunno where there frog is tho.

[psi43]

your style sort of reminds me of legendaryfrog's style, but instead of using the line tool, you use the brush tool

I have to disagree. The backgrounds maybe, but not the actual drawings.

[Sonni]

Mmm...brains...

I don't think your style really resembles Legendaryfrog.

I can see the bogswallop, especially with the thick messy lines. Dunno where there frog is tho.

i was probably thinking the backgrounds, but yeah i definitely see bogswallop in there

[Tealon]

I don't like how you mix gradients and cell shading together a lot. Looks messy to me.

[Loathsome]

I agree with tealon to a certen degree.

It works on the shirt's and the brain's shading though.

[Gerkinman]

Im learning as i go, always trying new things. I try to kep the gradients as subtle as possible, for the most part anyway.

[Tealon]

I do like what you did on that brain though.
It'd be cool if you could do it either all gradients, or all cell shading.

[Gerkinman]

Yeh, i use strait cel shading on my doodle pages, as you can see a few pages back. Not a fan off full gradient stuff tho, looks tacky.

[anigen]

gerkinman one question i have for you is how long do you take on these drawings

the actual drawing, not finding images for the backgrounds and looking for textures and shit

[Gerkinman]

Usually between 20 - 30 minutes.

I spend hours on traditional stuff (which thanks to Vista i currently have no way to scan or photograph, drivers are still hard to come by), but i think due to my work, where im so molded into a mindset of "get this done asap" if im drawing in flash i feel as tho i have to get it finished as quickly as possible. Its the main reason i want to get out of the flash animation industry. So i can take my time with things.

[Gerkinman]

Just some pencil doodles from work.

[anigen]

still a bit stiff, but much better than anything else i've seen you do

[psi43]

lmao gerkinman. The hand drawn stuff is really great, why don't you draw like that in flash?

Or why don't you trace them in flash or something.

[Gerkinman]

I cant draw anywhere near as good with a tablet as i can with a pencil, i guess my mind just doesnt work the same between the two mediums. And i rarely go over my stuff in flash because its hard to give images depth in flash, in my mind my pencil work looks more organic and thus should be coloured accordingly. But is suck with Corel Painter and Photoshop. Im always messing around with a variety of programs to see what i can get away with tho.

[MRat]

There's actually alot of great weight to the first of those two pencil drawings. I'm pretty impressed with both of those all in all. You probably spent more time on them than you do in Flash too, though.
