Any artists in here?

there is also gimp application

GIMP - Feature Overview

GIMP - Downloads

i do not use a computer program.

just old fashion graphite and my original imagination.

i may learn in the future, as everything is all digital.

i changed my style so it could be applicable to digital.

the sketches i posted are representative of the style chAnge.

switched to a lighter lead and finishing style.
that would be better for scanning.

i think it comes out better, and then if i did learn to use a digital program.

to ink, it would be much easier to add it with the change.

it looks better in digital photo than my older style and heavier line weight.

Any of you wanna start a picture exchange?

Basically, someone will draw a picture, and someone else will redraw their version of it. We'll keep doing that back to back. It's good exercise, and can be fun.

Anyone down for it?

I think we should do that,

and also we should all do a collage together

Breh, I'M HELLA jealous of your set-up.


As far as the picture exchange, want to start it off?

I'm ready for it.

here are some ones from this year

knuccles Photo by dcaye • Instagram
spawn Photo by dcaye • Instagram
mike vicc (unfinished) Photo by dcaye • Instagram
devin hester Photo by dcaye • Instagram ( took so much time shading)

none of my pics have came out clear

do any of you guys take months off before drawing again? i havent drawn anything in a month

definately,....
i sometimes take years off.

for me drawing or penciling is like putting my soul on paper
or expending my life force energy.
so, creating is really taxing and a fatigue to my body.
so i can only create for myself sparingly.
if i pick up a pencil it is to work on workflows to get my page speed up for comics. other than that,...after i mastered my workflows.
i really only pencil when i feel like it mostly.
i don't even get rusty, but i keep my old sketches and notes.
to guide my work flows all time. just in case i feel i fell off or not getting a certain effect line weight wise.

the last pix i posted were fron last summer.
as i gear up to probably go digital. as i lightened my line weight and shading.

so it could be easier to go digital and still be my style in that medium.
i like the change, a whole lot!
so i am looking forward to probably going digital in the future.

i probably will not make a push to pencil comics professionally again till i am in my mid forties. then i will have the ten plus hours a day timewise to dedicate to penciling. plus i would have learned the digital medium.

so i can cheat like all these new digital art school based pencilers at the majors, they have now.

i am kind of a dinosaur in the digital age.

i still think my pencils are still up to snuff off straight bristol though.

i just can not duplicate the speed these other guys have.

like literally,..these dudes can copy and paste face models, backgrounds and perspective drawings settings wise, eliminating time.

i need to be able to do that, in the future.

although as a penciler i do not actually like the shortcut.
yet i need to b able to do it as a way to industrialize.

One of my latest projects.

this is some real nice progression work!

i like your studio workspace setup, too!

it is funny, with the smart phones.
lol, i never thought i would use a phone to draw, better.
yet i keep photo models, in my phone for perspectives, to study anatomy of difficult poses.
also, i started using them to capture perspective models for my work.
plus using the phone to photo my pencils
to check out how it comes out in a digital realm.
to emulate a scanner, picking up my graphite work in one of these programs.

for my type of line weight.
do you know the program, or possible settings in a program.

i should use as a model?

i also need help on the jargon in the digital medium.
so if you can help me get a grasp of how to ask better questions verbiage wise.

that would be cool, too.
