Evolution (Other artists please contribute)

I'd say the second one is my favorite, K. XD

Wonder why...

 

[Jaynin]

Sablesword, I don't mean that I rely on what other people have done to produce anything. I can't draw. Period.

 

[Timewarp]

I wish I could draw....but after trying one year in Art in highschool....well I suck.

Not everybody has talent for drawing. I certainly do not, but I can now turn out a decent picture. For the ungifted, it takes lots and lots of practice. Keep at it and you'll get better. Don't give up so soon.

It's all about patience. It's taken me 7-8 years to get to where I am now with my style and i've got a long way to go still. After 1 year of practicing I still had trouble with making STICK figures look good. Trust me, you have the talent already, you just have to have patience and practice practice practice.

 

[Kalamos]

Practice alone isn't enough guys.
You need to learn how to decipher reality, too.

World is about shapes and shades, colours and lights. You need to see the underlying proportions. Just about everything can be reduced to a finite amount of lines, of basic shapes.

[This is a useless post, since I am not likely to add a pic to further elaborate, but... hey, maybe it'll come in handy anyway]

 

[cyclypse]

That's true too Kalamos, I just didn't think it was relavent information at the time. Thanks for correcting me.

Ok, I feel I too should show some examples of my evolution as an artist. So I dug up some old stuff and scanned it.
These are all comic projects. I replaced the original Dutch lettering with an english translation, so it will be at least understandable (I hope )
The first one dates back to when I was twelve or thirteen years old. This is the oldest stuff I could find.
The second picture is from a comic I made when I was seventeen. I was just discovering the gothic horror genre, and this was present in a lot of my drawings in that period.
The last one was made a year later. It was about a girl who travelled with a trans-dimensional ship to a fantasy world inhabited by viking people.

My style has evolved mostly in the past six years (after the last picture), I should have some examples of this still lying around. Perhaps I will post those later.

Ah, we are talking youth pics here!
Wonder where I put mine.

...

Does anybody even care? Nah...

 

[Low_Roads]

This is amazing, entertaining stuff, scavenger! I really like the stark, gothic, Edward Goryish tone of the middle story (do I detect the seeds of the Kitzalia series here?) The colors in the last example are very vivid, and the first exudes a freedom and fun eloquent of childhood (is that a talking seal? Keen!) Each sample displays competent comic book senisbility, good flow and a nice mix of angles and ranges. Man, you are very good at this! I wish you'd do more!

If you can find it, I'd love to see it, Kal. I find such early artwork very revealing.

 

[BigNorm]

i'll see if i can dig up a pic i did for ness a loong time ago. it's noot one i'm proud of, i did with MSPaint and a mouse with little skill.

 

[scavenger]

Thanks, littlebighead!
Yes, thats a talking seal... seals were my favourite animals back then, and I remember having several "humanized" seal characters in my comics.
The gothic horror comic strip (middle picture) I began drawing after having played the demo of a pc-game called "Nightmare Creatures" (completely outdated by now, but it was really advanced looking back then). I liked the victorian gothic atmosphere so much that I wanted to make a story like this myself, resulting in this dark comic.
My style began evolving rapidly after the third comic, mainly because I started in my animation studies, and animation requires a lot of drawing -so I got a LOT of practice and experience. I'm going to try to unearth some stuff from that period (the past six years), and post it here too.

I gotta say, this is a cool thread idea. It's interesting to see how everyone's styles have changed over the years. That being said I'll throw in my bit. The first picture we established to be Meg from Disney's Hercules, it was drawn about eight years ago. Though it doesn't involve any actual tickling it was my first picture involving female bondage, the only thing missing are feathers. The second picture is my most recent picture involving Elastagirl from the Incredibles.

 

[Hungarian21]

LOL, I remember the 2nd one....found it right after watching the incredibles...perfect timing on that!

I forgot whos idea this thread was, (ah, wait, it was Anemi316! How could I forget?) anyway, my complements to ya, this was a great idea!

 

[Low_Roads]

I can see the improvement in your technique, SSaiyenJim, but that first picture is still awfully cute! Anticipation can be just as pleasing as the act if it's well done!

 

[pabuluz1]

Only Me...

...eerr my pics lol

First 2 Pics My First ROsie Pics....

Last 3 are Recent...

 

[Hungarian21]

Your work has improved, yet your style changed as well! Dunno how to explain it, but I can just...see it.:happy:

 

[cyclypse]

Wow I never thought this thread would get this popular! There are some AMAZING pictures and developments here.

Scavenger, I LOVE That second pic. The penstrokes are incredible!
And speaking of Incredible, SSaiyenjim, I love the elastagirl pic XD.
Pabuluz, I love Rosie! She's so damn cute!

 

[nessonite1]

Indeed...well done, 316! Great thread!

 

[cyclypse]

*noogies ness* Your the one who pushed me to make the thread. I wouldn't have made it without you giving me a good whack on the noggin'.

 

[Kalamos]

Need a whack? Got a club, will clobber.

 

[Hungarian21]

Oh no....Kalamos is at it again. RUN! XD

 

[cyclypse]

I charge per hit Kal XP
