Just because. Got a request? I might draw it (though not necessarily in a timely manner).


Aras. I'm rather fond of this one, so I'm working on coloring it.

wow you are gooood.

[eclipse]

whoa. how long have you been drawing?

i usually have to look at stuff to draw it.are you one of those awesome people who can come up with stuff at the top of their head?

[Aras|Ofelia]

Thanks. ^^ I've been drawing since I was a toddler or something, but I've never actually taken classes. I learn from practice and Internet tutorials, actually. XD

Sometimes I can draw without references, but I do use them quite often. They help you learn, to a point.

[eclipse]

wow internet tutorials,
free or do you have to pay?

[Aras|Ofelia]

Free. (I'm cheap. ) DeviantArt has quite a few good ones.

Clay! It's my favorite of my rather limited experience with different mediums. We had to choose a theme for the year's work, so I went with mythology.

Apologies in advance for the gratuitous board-stretching.






Kind of site-relevant, since this was Haida-inspired. I tried to emulate the design you'd find on totem poles and the like, but with more realism.








Assigned project: fruit bowl. Ever hear the myth about a turtle carrying the world on its back?

haha love them all!!

They're really beautiful Aras. I wish I had talent like that! Keep putting pictures up, because I like to see them. They're so neat!

Ofelia and Aras. A couple comments:

- Fear the overused pose. But back-to-back is just badass.
- Proportional errors. Ignore them, please.
- Please forgive Angela's lack of skill in drawing guns. She is lazy.
- While your at it, please forgive her inability to draw characters consistently as well.



Larger version here, if you want to see a zoomed-in version of my mistakes. XP

From my school's art show, a couple of days ago:



Larger photo here, because the above already stretches the board enough.

Wow. That's awesome, Aras!

[Aras|Ofelia]

Aurelia, for Dark. Was trying to be a bit looser with brushstrokes/detail here, and it kind-of-not-really worked. XP



Larger image here to avoid board-stretching fun. (And that's not even the full size; poke me if you want me to send that to you, Dark.)

Hahahaha *hugs* THANK YOU! ;D

But, may I ask, why is her hair greenish? And why is she apperantly naked? XD

Aside from that, very nice work, heh.

[Aras|Ofelia]

You're welcome.

Well, I made it black-green on purpose so it would have more unity with the background, but the green doesn't look that obvious to me. Perhaps my laptop makes the colors darker.

And she is apparently naked because I am too lazy to draw clothing. Or you could pretend I made up something deep and artistic about it being symbolic, or something. 8P
