Fan art + introduction.

I

incineronter

First time out of the vault
as i always have difficulty saying 'hello all' in forums, i've decided to post two pieces of fan art i've made as both a 'what do you think' and to introduce myself to the rest of you all.
so...hello.
firstly, a fan art of the vault dweller from a failed comic-

and next, an Ad for the vaults -

so, hello all.
 
Hello and welcome to the forums.

First off let me say, don't stop drawing, DON"T EVER FUCKING STOP NO MATTER WHAT WOOZ SAYS! He may be an art god but thats no reason to listen to him. Second, your gonna get raped by the art critics at first. Don't worry, do better next time.


So the vault dweller got dipped?
His legs crooked his waist is funky and 'es got monkey arms. And WHAT is that shotgun attached to? Need strap or sling or holster or somethin.

IE your anatomy needs lots of work. Draw naked people, figure out their measurements, where things lay in relation to the body AND how long they are.

I like the second one though. Is good!
 
Hello and welcome.

Practice, young padawan. I'm not an art god, but I'm pretty sure you need more practice.

Oh yes, least I forget.

The first pic is vomitous. The second as well. The face is a nice try, tho'.

Practice. Practice. Practice. Practice.
 
Amateurish at best, but that's always a start...
The second hasn't got strange anatomical proportions (or are the legs too short?), so it's not as terrible as the first one.
 
its somewhat messed up, i know. but it was the first time i had tried something done entireley in photoshop on my tablet, as opposed to drawing on paper and scanning in. it doesnt help that my pre-drawing blocking in of the basic shapes got screwed up reaaal baaaad. so dont take this as the whole limit of my ability.
 
your anatomy needs alot of work, practice preportions and study anatomy first, after that you can work on your shading/colouring and or defining your style.

As the guy said above, you should draw more people, they dont have to be naked but it helps to work out where things start and end (clothes can be misleading at times)

If you cant get a girlfriend or friend to pose for you then go out and sit someplace where its busy and just draw, i should actually say sketch but ya get the point.

Wooz, you may be a ok-ish artist but "The first pic is vomitous" is just plain dumb. Nothing constructive in that sentence.

Take care, SB :ahoy:
 
Dragon lad has it right.

I do think the second one has a nice face, though there's some fixing that you could do with the hand.

Also,

Never okay-ish enough.

Aww. I hurt someone's feelings again.

As you know, every good draughtsman makes horrible pictures from time to time, and certainly makes a lot of vomitous ones at the beggining of his/her experience with drawing/painting.

Pointing out the obvious while enticing to practice fits into my definition of 'constructive'. My remark wasn't an attack on the draughtsman, only a statement about these two particular experiments.
 
Better than me anyhow I have trouble drawing stick people. but my large penis makes up for any lack of artistic ability....
 
Too bad it doesn't make up for your idiotic posts.

Have a week-long ban to think twice before spamming up the forum with your drivel.

I couldn’t care less if you hurt someone’s feelings, after all some people’s feelings need to be hurt and their large egos need deflating from time to time. But "vomitous" doesn’t help people get better, neither does telling people to "practice practice practice" without actually pointing out the flaws and advising them actually what it is that they need to practice.

As a fellow artist you should know that incineronter needs to in this case practice his anatomy first and foremost (most people could probably tell him that anyway) before even considering thinking about perspectives and so on, so why not give him some advice on that, link sites he can look at, give tips or things to try.

"your pic is vomitous, so practice practice practice" wont help.

But anyway, its apparently your style to say this kinda thing so i guess it should have been expected.

Take care, SB :mrgreen:

Edit: Diamsus, you're a moron
 
For things like the vault ad, you could read up on typography and research the kind of fonts that could be used for the era (same goes for any other era), as well as the best placement for them.

Typography in itself is a whole other art form that can also make or break an image. Using computers, it might be convenient to just slap on anything that looks like it might fit but in many cases is not the best way (think of the many designs you might have seen done using Microsoft Word). Sometimes it is probably better to just draw and design the fonts from scratch.

A good start, and like the others said, practice lots. And practice the right way :)
