meteor-echo In reply to surthur [2010-07-24 17:46:17 +0000 UTC]

XD dood, I wish I could find paper like that in A3 format. Yeah, you can buy A3 sheets, but they're too thin and never textured. MEH.
Yup, you're right with the girl, her face was like 1,5cm x 1 cm. I had to draw it with an extra sharp pencil, and it was redone 5 times before I was satisfied with the result. And I actually made her far less smooth than the landscape around.

The critter in the right corner just had no real shade diversity, to start with. If it were colored, it would be pink with brown stripes. XD nothing really to color there
I guess I won't fit into your group after all. I'm too lazy and sloppy, I guess :3

D: try to find some decent shops online , maybe ? I order at japan import shop and at big art supplier, like boesner.
I dont know about ucrain support, but there are A3 papers, I can get 200 gramm and more quite easily ?


But of course this differs, I will never get that good material like people in New York XD Internet is our friend .

Ha I am already kicking people to get drawing more, I wont kick your butt there. but saying that is like programming yourself into constant hobby-ism and selfdegradation. not good. self observation is another important key to growth.

XD Amazon and Ebay don't really work here. Or if they do, the delivery price will make me shoot myself D:

You know, the funny thing is, when I attempt to spend more time drawing, I can only produce sketches that don't have the soul in them. Each work of mine is something that is done patiently (sometimes, for more than two weeks), and I prefer drawing when really feeling like it. The result is better. Besides, when it's a hobby, you can draw whatever you want. No deadlines, no things that you force yourself to do. That's one good point, I guess :3
I hope I'm not self-degrading though, I'm trying new things out, like experimenting with strokes, or smoothening them out, working with light sources and such. A lot of stuff to learn yet

X/ oh yes , the mojo is a bitch sometimes.
I get the most furious ideas when I am all to excited or too much into necessary boring paperwork D:

I guess I have chosen the wrong words x) shinerai is a hobbyist as well,brilliant on top of that. nothing wrong with it of course.

I get my best ideas in my dreams. Like a library filled with water, where people float on mattresses and read books with pages made of plastic. Or a dream which looks like a complete Diablo-like game, even with life and mana lines in the bottom of the picture. Crazy, eh?

Hobbies are nice :3 What kind of them do you have?

Oh btw, you picked the username from a certain book, didn't you?

surthur In reply to meteor-echo [2010-07-25 21:20:30 +0000 UTC]

oh dreams. my dreams are too explicit , wild and wicket for DA
hehe I already played some fear with bullet time and matrix moves in my dreams, I know that very well.

oh, too much hobbies to care for them all. I loved to devour scientific news on archeology and history, now primarily biology, brainstuff, stuff I cant tell here... accumulating information and new insights until I cant even sleep more.I love it when my brain goes busy and connects new strings.
I also play a lot of music and have two personal projects since some years. developing worlds is fun as well. collecting strange stuff is cool too.
Now I begin to get into martial arts again and learned the basic 3d modelling. Its never time enough to play much T^T

a certain book ? hm if you consider germanic and scandinavian mythology as a certain book ? where do you know the name from ?

meteor-echo In reply to surthur [2010-07-26 19:55:18 +0000 UTC]

XD Same here, a lot of things I'm interested in.

Well, I read the name in some sci-fi book of the 30s. Forgot its title though...

Yeah, old sci-fi books are awesome. Their authors are made of awesome too, it's really sad that Bradbury's new books aren't that good anymore though ;__;

:3 I guess I need to renew my knowledge on Scandinavic mythology.

The drawing was done on thick paper (200 mcr/sq.inch), which is sold in folders of to sheets. One side of every sheet is textured :3

And sorry for her face ;__; I tried my best, but it was like 1,5 cm high, so I had to draw in extra small scale >.<
