The Doodle Thread

[Conor]

In here, you can post your doodles and drawings, and just generally chat about any artistic endeavours you're pursuing right now. You can also ask for advice or feedback on any of your own stuff!

Here's a few doodles I've done recently for study and practice.

PS, I'll probably post a lot here.

[Damxge]

I would love to post my stuff here but, frankly, I'm embarrassed by everything I draw. So I'll probably post something eventually.

[Conor]

You should post your shitty stuff to actively embarrass yourself to get yourself out of that comfort zone. Then you'll become more confident about receiving feedback.

[Damxge]

Fair point, won't improve without feedback. I'll post my sh*t next time I'm at my desk.

I've done a bunch of speed paints lately.
They were all done somewhere between 30-90 minutes.

Love the sword one dude!

[MrSage]

Thanks! That's the first one I did out of the bunch.

Getting better all the time

[Damxge]

Finally got around to digging out my old Bamboo tablet.
Here's the result of some practice.



Muscles are all fucky, particularly the arms.

[Conor]

Nice! definitely some improvement, boss. If it's muscles you're having trouble with, I'll upload a step-by-step drawing of a body and muscle structure for you.

[Damxge]

I would appreciate that very much!

I got bored yesterday. Sorry I've had to take crappy photos, my scanner is playing up. I'll scan them better when I can, maybe do em digital.

Before you get to it, yes, I've changed Tek a little bit from the original description. The jacket/trousers are not as plated as stated, I figured Tek would require a little flexibility with swinging round, so put minimal on the arms, and had plate sections and strips to that the joints underneath can still move round. I've moved the combat knife for the same reason, to incorporate it into the backpack strapping so he wouldn't be kicking it all the time. And the gauntlet on the left hand is so he doesn't take off the sides of his fingers with the arrows notched to the bow, and has finger guards on the right so the string doesn't slice em off (though you wouldn't see that from the pic unless I coloured.) The last change is the bow itself, I've added static pulleys to the top and bottom, like modern bows, so the strain of the ends of the strings are less likely to snap the bow, with spreading the tension.

And I seriously f***ed up Fesas firing hand and to the gun angle. I'll admit, I struggled.

[Conor]

Hands are hard, man. I extremely recommend looking up Ahmed Aldoori on YouTube. All his stuffs great but his hand tutorial is really helpful.

[ValleyGirlBlondie]

my style is pretty cartoony so obviously anatomy is not 100% correct for stylistic reasons
but any opinions or critique is welcome because i'm always looking to improve!

[Conor]

Link don't work.
