Eenuh Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Eenuh that pastel work is incredible. And it's probably just my dirty mind but I don't like the way the queen is holding that flamingo. Damn you plufim, now I'm seeing softcore hentai in everything. Haha, I think that's just your own dirty mind yes. =P But thank you! That is amazing!What is a commision? You get paid for it? Yep, a commission is when someone requests a drawing and pay me to make it for them. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eenuh Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 o,0 How many hours did it take you and how much are you getting? Don't know the exact time it took me, but with the sketching included, it took me quite a few hours (more than 6 for sure, if not more). I asked for a set price though (not based on the time), which I got before I made the drawing (but after showing the sketch). Got $35 plus $10 for shipping to the US (even though that ended up costing more). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diageo Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Wallpaper I made. I didn't actually create anything, I just photoshopped it, but I like it its was resized from 1280 x 1024... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paj! Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 What ink do you use? I used Quink Ink (however it's spelt), to get the flame-coloured effect in the past, but it didn't work when I used bog-standard ink. I like the first one a lot.

I've not tried Quink, but my mates use it - the effects are seemingly the same. I've also tried permanent inks and coloured inks, but it isn't as nice an effect and ordinary Pelikan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laughingly bought mauve textile/material spray paint, on the spur of the moment. I want to just buy a whle load of stuff to make pieces more interesting.

Eenuh Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Letty: I really like that first drawing, how it looks like the city is on fire or something. Cool effect. =) Shorty: Nice design! Easy to use and very easy on the eye as well. I think it's a perfect site to display your own work. =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emasher Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 A few new Desktop Backgrounds. Well, not really a few, one's just rotated 180 degrees so I can have something slightly different on my second monitor. Both are 1680 x 1050.

Eddage Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Been trying to get back into my drawings and have started using Photoshop as well to smooth things out/add come colour... This is the first time I've ever gone on to edit a drawing of mine on the computer. I'm pleased with the way the first one turned out, but I'm not really happy with the horses mane on the second, but then practice makes perfect! Edit: Gah, Photobucket has fucked up the colours on the second one, god knows why its done that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I'd like to see the original sketch, to see if it has benifitted from all that smoothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddage Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 There you go. The colours aren't messed up in the other picture any more, dunno what happened there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Thanks. I think I prefer the original sketch. even if the smoothed one "completes it". Maybe it's just me. Either way, great work. (Although, I don't like the coloured one at all really, takes away from the drawing imo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eenuh Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 The first one you did in Photoshop looks quite nice, though I'm not a fan of the smudge tool really, makes things look a bit "cheap". I like the pencil sketch, though it's a tiny bit light. Maybe try working with some softer pencils, like a 2B or even 4B? Using pencils with a different softness can give your drawing a lot more depth. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be lighter in the scan than it is in my sketch book, dunno why! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well scanners can do funny things with drawings. But since you have Photoshop anyway, you can change the levels of the drawing. Just go to Image>Adjustments>Levels and start fiddling with the settings. Basically, move the left arrow a bit to the right and the right arrow a bit to the left until the drawing looks better. At least that's what I do if the scan didn't turn out very good. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
