[Misanthropy77]

It's been forever since I posted anything..sorry about that..I've been so busy I don't know Shit from Shinola..

A friend of mine opened a new store, and graciously offered to sell my art for me. Here is the first piece for his new store. Wish me luck in the selling.

Your ass, when I'm done. :D

[Msterbeau]

Since my ass will have black jeans, and your boots are black... there is no contrast and therefore you are FAIL!!!!!!

Or something.

BURN!

That is a rather hott drawing, probably one of the best I've seen on here in a while. There's been other artists that have posted in this forum, but not a lot has impressed me or have been something that I couldn't draw myself, this one is nice.

Dark versus light. Makes the drawing "pop" better while emphasizing shadow areas...

EDIT: Example attached.

Basically, I believe (I don't know actual art terms, I just draw the shit) making emphasis on darker/lighter shades. For instance, shadows should be very dark, whereas reflections off of glass (or anything really) would be pretty much totally white. If a drawing has poor value contrast then the shadows aren't dark enough, or the whole picture has awkward white/dark contrast, etc.

And thus ends another session of Chernobyl talking out her ass.

Yes, it looks nice dark, too. I have at least three more of these to work on, though, and I might still add color, so I didn't want to go TOO dark.

I see an uncanny resemblance to someone I know VERY well..

Have you been looking through my windows at night?

Is it regular pencil? if so, I'd advise against adding color. Color over lead pencil shading... Ick.

LOL, nope, I am not THAT hard up for art ideas yet! Gas is way too expensive! :D

I do it all the time. I have very high quality colored pencils, which makes a huge difference.

#2 lead pencil and colored pencils are very different beasts... Personally, I don't like them together.. I don't care if Rolls Royce made them. Of course, you do as you please... (Cuz you will anyways! ) ... just warn me so I don't look. Cuz if I do.. I'll cringe.

Do you have Prismacolor Black, Indigo, Tuscan Red or one of the Dark Browns? All of those produce a really nice range of tones... Using one of those initially might allow you to better use color if you decide to go that route.

I think it's very well drawn, and I'm sure it will sell quickly. You should definitely post more of your work.

Wow! That is wonderful. Dammit! I wish I had artistic talent...
