recently followed zekey and w-p-s on socials and it made me nostalgic for this forum and poasting in general. can't believe i remembered my password. congrats on 20 years of TBA rtil

if billymonks shows up in this thread I will stay forever

I feel this topic

a bg from the 2nd scene. middle is empty because the character will go there. scene 1 is done. since the cartoon is so short, i'm going to try and make it as best quality as i can, see if i can pull off a good painted bg+cel animation mix.

gorgeous! you'll pull it off, I think the way you handle backgrounds with large blocks of color and subtle gradients is well suited for compositing

in progress digital stuff


oil painting diptych that I'll hopefully get better photos of soon

thanks for the link slack, love speedruns

thanks for the holiday postcard RIP Santa

You believe that fruit on pizza is a sin

RIP female anime characters

been working mostly in oil lately but here are some dumb show posters

Are you referring this to MY arrival? Or is there some group
of D-bags around? 

alarming: this was over three years ago; time passes so fast sometimes that it frightens me hi zekey

can't see your school drawings, dunno if it's just me
and yes understanding how to draw from life is essential whether you want to end up drawing hyper-realist chuck close portraits or stylized noodle arm machine pirates

pizza points all round then! you're welcome for the two hundredth, rtil

here let this inspire you

the email is favorite.dinosaur(at)gmail.com as mentioned on the tumblr page but if you'd rather send them to me I can get them to her. thanks, we appreciate it!

here's mine, sorry about raising the bar so high 

great colors in your recent painting, the white outlines around the fingers work really well

a close friend of mine started this little tumblr project for a bullshit art class and would like some submissions from more than just our circle of friends, so I told her I would help her out. This is the only board I frequent anymore, but there seems to be a pretty large geographical representation here.

if you submit a picture of yourself in a shitty homemade "dinosaur" costume and mention where you live, I will draw a caricature of you (or anything else you'd like, really!)
and I would be extremely grateful

I like bridgman's books as a tool to help beginners start thinking of the face as made up of planes (and to help kill the "flat nose effect" that all beginners at anatomy suffer from) but I'm skeptical of how helpful they are beyond that, as he really only provides drawings and tedious info about musculature in them--have you looked at any of loomis' books? I think you might benefit more from his stuff

perfect first chapter, well worth the wait

if you post some (new) complete pieces, not doodles, it will be easier to give you advice re: composition, color etc. and go beyond the trademark "reconcile your style and intent, more anatomy studies and drawing from life" response
