MarcK's Thread

Here's a thread of my stuff.
This stuff will consist of every animation I do from this point and drawings I take a picture of with my shitty webcam to upload. I don't scan because the only scanner I've heard of around here is a hike from my dorm.

For my past stuff, most of the animation posted on here and some of the images, here is my newgrounds page:

To start off I made a drawing or 4 earlier and decided to upload today.

Jesus doing what he does best with his best friend! I drew this months ago. :/

My first real drawing project. The topic was "interesting negative space."

3 weeks ago's drawing project. This is a setup I got at walmart for 4 dollars:

The smell ended up annoying the hell out of my roommate. The radish leaves started melting after a little bit.
I thought it was okay when I ended it. mostly rounded it up due to procrastination.

Someone came up to me and gave me a picture of michael jackson. she then asked that I draw it for her russian assignment. and so I birthed this.

very rushed self portrait that's due tomorrow. :/

your self portrait and the thing with the vegetable setup both came out real nice!

Thanks eman.
Urpdate:

First gouache painting that I don't find amazingly disgusting.
It was a color assignment due next week of self portraits using interesting color.

Character design for Lenko's winter special.
The reason I'm linking it is that its transparent and needs a white background.

lenko · December 2, 2009 05:21 PM

the paintings cool but i'm drawn to the background more than the subject itself

MarcK · December 3, 2009 04:14 AM

Yeah, I forgot that higher temperature usually jumps out more. Eh, I like the background. Good distraction from some of the technical errors. ;P

This is another shot at designing a character for lenko's winter special.
Guess who it is!

My racer entry. :D

something is odd about the shading on da ladys face also xl boobies

MarcK · December 11, 2009 06:53 AM

I fucked up pretty bad on the woman. shading and anatomy are fucked. I learned from it though. Thanks lenko

The Good Ole Ant · December 11, 2009 08:21 PM

honestly i think you should try toning down your style of shading
keep the hatching cuz it can look cool if do it more subtly

^ these both seem like the same statement

MarcK · December 11, 2009 08:54 PM

Yeah I want to dim the marks down a bit, make everything smoother somewhat. I have to be more texture-specific and not just shade everything the same way.

lenko · December 11, 2009 09:11 PM

the best advice i can give for drawing people is to just draw actual people, at least 10 a day even if they're rough sketches. read a few loomis books and see how he lays the body and face out - over time and with practice your brain will naturally start piecing together how everything on a human body generally fits. thats when the fun begins and you can start warping anatomy to your liking

MarcK · December 11, 2009 09:28 PM

Wonderful. Thanks!

is that racer drawing done with charcoal?

if it is you should try smearing your fingers over lines and make shading with the smears, it will look softer and easier on the eyes

I'm starting to do my drawing and painting in photoshop. Lenko's characters and the racer were my first photoshop paintings. I have to use the smudge tool once in a while, yes, but if I used this mysterious tool that I rarely use now it'll look sloppy.

Thanks. Congrats on getting the tablet. :>

emanhattan · December 12, 2009 08:23 PM

marc there is a lot to like about your current art
but there is one tiiiiny little tip i got for you that will make your drawings look x4000 times better. and it is very simple
when coloring,try to do the strokes following the form of the figure that you are about to draw. it gives them a lot more definition.
Im only saying this because for example, in your racing themed drawing you used diagonal lines in pretty much the same direction all over the drawing,and it makes it look a bit more... plain?.Theres a similar issue with the kid for lenko contest.
now while the diagonal lines do make a good job with that car since it is a solid,plain surface, probably you could give a bit more definition to that girls body stroking in the direction of the body´s form.

im sorry im not so good at articulating this. I was going to draw it to explain you but I dont exactly have my tablet with me at the mo

MarcK · December 12, 2009 11:55 PM

I know what you mean. I tried at that for a style sort of thing with uniform marks for the racer, and the kid for lenko's thing was a force of habit with the tablet. I'll be changing around how I work things. Thanks eman.

MarcK · December 14, 2009 01:17 AM

focusing on human anatomy now.

This is one done referencing an anatomy page. :/

Bald guy. working on faces.

Thought for my next animation. a seed's coming out of her palm.
Something about her head feels totally wrong....
