i started a few line art drawings... i did four... now i have to color them..
i was actually surprised at how well the sketches came out considering i havent drawn any animal since freshman year of HS i think... and of course.. what animals did i draw this time around.. a black and white tiger (i think thats what it is).. a penguin and its baby, a koi fish (which i am totally excited to color) and a red eyed tree frog (you know which one im talking about... it has the most awesome greens, reds, oranges and blues i have ever seen on one animal!!) ..
i think the frog has to the one im most excited about because I have always loved the use of color.. I just havent used too much in all my years of doodling and drawing (weird i know...).
The tiger is going to be B&W charcoal no bright colors for that one (i want to keep it dramatic) and the penguin one.. well of course it is going to be black and white but i will use a yellow/orange/red for part of the pic (which i didnt even realize was on a penguin.. because in my mind they are just B&W) ...
now the problem will be filling in the empty space around each of the pieces... i know for the penguin one i am going to do a great bottom half... well at least i hope it turns out cool..
the koi.. we i want to draw some lotus blooms around it.. but thats all i can think of for the negative space...
the frog is on a leaf... but im not sure how i want to color it... maybe i want to make the leaf a crazy black and red to show off the frog even more... but then again im not sure if thats what im gonna do..
my biggest worry is if i mess up on the negative space with the tiger... it is already in a weird position on the paper... the mouth is WIDE open, teeth and tounge are almost dead center ( i really didnt want to do that.. i wanted the composition to be a little better then that but oh well right?) + the tiger has no eyes... it is cropped about half an inch above the nose of the tiger... I am happy about that actually... it makes the piece different.. the focal point is on the vicious lookin teeth (!!) rather than the bright eyes of most cat pieces i see (even if it is in B&W the eyes are most always looked at first)

i am gonna start coloring some of the stuff i have been drawing... they are all mostly outlines and are in desperate need of color i cant wait to start drawing some of the pics i found online... i need to practice some color... i found nice nice pics of tree frogs and stuff... yay

i finally got a chance to UP some stuff... wow.. its been too long

i have a few pieces either done or close to done... i scanned em in last night but they are HUGE in size and i am just too lazy to resize and crop them... i havent UL'ed in a while... geez
