Partice art - General - Facepunch Forum

I'm looking at practicing my art skills so could you guys give me some pics that are easy to look at and then draw. SHIT forgot to fix the name FUCK.

You're really not specifying what kind you're trying to do. "Art" is a very broad term.

My drawing skill's mostly.

what like circles? shapes? complex geometric shapes such as the tetrahedron? We don't know your drawing skill dude.

Mine are very basic right now. I can draw a circle; I just need a cool pic that easy to draw. [editline]12th January 2011[/editline] ok here is the best art I have drawn...Waring there fucking big. [media]This was my first one I got it from the Fallout 1 manual. [img]http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/4139/dsc0069d.jpg[/img] A Pokemon I did for my little brother.

For starters, how old are you? It seems like you're still coloring with crayons(that, or very roughly with color pencils) Generally, your hand coordination develops with your brain; as far as I see it, you have very rough lines, which tells me that you have an unsteady hand. On the other hand, there seems to be a sense of order at some points and other times it seems to skew off into a five-year-old's doodles. What I would recommend you to do is to find a picture you like, or something simple like [url=http://www.learn-play.eu/img/p/306-1072-thickbox.jpg] this picture here [/url]. After you get an idea of what you're looking at, try copying the picture exactly as you see it. First time will always be horrible; that's why artists draw outlines first. For a beginner though, that technique is a bit too complicated. Next, you should try doing the shading of the objects. Turn on a lamp and put your hand on the table, and note how the shadows move when you move your hand around or curl your fingers. That should get you started well enough. If you'd like, add me and we can discuss this some more.

ok thanks by the way I'm 17 just never really drew as a kid but I love to do it now. I kinda know for my age that its kinda bad but I try. Also what can I do about my shaky hand? Because your right the mother fucker never wants to stay straight.

You need to partice your spelling first.

I'm an art student and think drawings from observations would probably help if you're into realism

Would hand drawing be better or using a mouse and Paint to work in or a stylus and a pad?

Work on your hand technique first. Usually it's much easier to adapt to, as you can actively see what you're doing and change your hand motions as you go. Mouse drawing is really difficult and I wouldn't really recommend it, as then you're developing wrist and grip control, not directly to your fingers. I would honestly only move towards a tablet and a pen once you become comfortable with drawing on paper, but that's just me. Some people find the transition from paper to tablet very easily, as I have, while others may have prolonged difficulty trying to coordinate themselves.

I draw with a mouse way better than I draw on paper. Not that I draw outstandingly well with a mouse, but I draw far more shittily with pencil & paper. The mouse and the interface of Paint/Photoshop is just what I'm more used to.

Me ,being a left-hander, don't have very much dexterity with my right hand as I do with my left. My mouse-art generally turns out horrible.
