Matt Harty Yeah a COMEDIE




GET IT?

LOL SORRY IM TIRED



sorry I just read two threads in a row where people used "i'm tired" as an excuse for saying something idiotic. I'm sorry I brought my anger into your winged man comic thread.

DamnthatDavid Awesome, way better then anything I can draw.

And I take it this ain't going to be an Online Comedy Comic?

Immortal Goat click here to see it.

It is a revised version of my first drawing. I re-did the wing attatchments and the bone structure. No shading, though. Not yet, anyway.[/list]

Immortal Goat Thank you for the tips, Supafly. I will certainly try those things.

Supafly345 Someone who draws them.
If you are going for realism the best thing you can do is to practice drawing a model. That is what realism is mostly, life-accurate drawings. You can't expect to manifest real-to-life drawings in your head and then produce them on paper from day one. That would be like someone who tried to cook their very first cake without a recipe.

Observe ripped holes in clothing in order to emulate it for the holes in the jacket. Think "how would a hole in cloth look if a wing had just been thrust through it?" And use similar thinking for other aspects as well (wings, hair, clothing, ect). Find a picture of a wing then draw it, find a picture of the back of a man's head and draw it. If I go into specifit things then it will be my visualisations as an artist, and not yours. So develop what you notice in reality, then practice it.

Immortal Goat It wasn't that I was asking a photographer about drawing, I was simply asking an artist her artistic opinion. And besides, if I am going for a realistic figure, who better to ask than someone who deals with real figures all the time?

Supafly345 I was wondering why he was asking a photographer for drawing tips.

Really all you can do is to practice as much as possible.

glowbelly alrighty goat...

the first suggestion i have is to quit drawing on notebook paper. i understand that these are considered preliminary sketches, but you can do the same kind of sketches in a sketchbook. that way when you present them people like me won't get distracted by blue horizontal lines.

if this is a character for a comic book, you really need to get used to drawing the same looking figure over and over again. the top representation looks frail compared to the bottom.

also, something doesn't set well with me with his wings. i'm not a wing expert by any means, but you might want to look towards nature to figure out how they should be drawn. by looking at it is now, i can't tell if his wings were recently burned or if they have been cleaned up and this is what he was left with. i'm leaning towards the latter, because the bottom skeletal part looks too clean. plus, remember that fire isn't rational. it doesn't tend to burn two objects the same. it may be more interesting to show some kind of variation between the two.

i think the figure drawing itself is fairly good. i'm not a drawing person, so it's hard for me to tell you exactly what is wrong with the figures. i definitely think that the bottom drawing is stronger than the top. i'd like to see some more shading to soften up the hard lines.

that's all i got for you now.

The Fifth Man A: Sarcasm. Figured you were used to swimming in it here
by now. Sorry to have confused you.

B: I never touch Penny Arcade. I've seen better art in my mom's
first grade class than Penny Arcade.

Immortal Goat Sorry 'bout that, Glowbelly. Didn't catch that. I just figured since everyone else was raggin on my stuff that you were too.


In all seriousness, though, Glow, what do you think I should do to fix my drawings to make them a bit more realistic? I respect your artistic opinions more than other people on this board.
Mar 24th, 2004 11:00 PM
glowbelly hey genius, i was talkin to the guy who posted above me. that's usually how these message board things work.
Mar 24th, 2004 09:38 PM
Immortal Goat Actually, no, im not from Penny Arcade. And those aren't my best works, just some shit i threw together. I am not saying they are great, i just want to know what you people think of the basic design of the character. so far, only Spectre got it so far.
Mar 24th, 2004 12:36 PM
glowbelly lemme guess...you're one of the amazing artists from penny arcade.
Mar 24th, 2004 02:01 AM
The Fifth Man So, Goat, would you recommend the I-Mockery forums for
having artwork critiqued?

Immortal Goat SECOND PICTURE ADDED!
Mar 16th, 2004 05:54 PM
Immortal Goat They're supposed to be the charred remains of his angelic wings.
Mar 16th, 2004 05:50 PM
mesobe they look like spider legs witht hings hanging from them. Spiderman!
Mar 16th, 2004 05:45 PM
Immortal Goat If you can't see the pics, then click here
Mar 16th, 2004 05:37 PM
mesobe are you guys having a discussion about a red x? cause i dont see any wings on the red x.
Mar 16th, 2004 05:07 PM
Immortal Goat I'm working on the body-to-wing connection, and he ripped the holes himself. But thank you for the criticism. Remember, this is just an early drawing, though.
Mar 16th, 2004 02:44 PM
Spectre X Indeed.



It's good overall, but the wings are kind of oddly connected to him, and don't look like they'd rip such big holes in a jacket like that, if at all.

Immortal Goat It's smaller now.
