tennis's art thread

[art-of-tennis]

With Shadow, I had a reference that I was just trying to copy. (I found official art and cropped down to his head) That was more of a testing an inking style. What you're saying is that my art is sometimes disproportioned, correct? That is definitely sometimes true, my sister nags on me about that ALL the time. I suppose I should just use my posing manaquin more, but that only works for humanoids.

I decided to post my most recent character coloring.

This was the colored version of the sketch I did awhile back.

Here was the reference below. I didn't like how they had his hat on him, so I drew mine without it, along with I didn't reference their coloring at all. I just wanted the pose. My coloring is 100% tennis done. :D

Probably tomorrow. I'll most likely fix up dodrio a bit first though.

EDIT:

For those wondering what it looked like here's what I pm'd him with yesterday.

Holy shiy. Rocket power was my FAVORITE show, but they stopped it :(

I'm learning new software, that's why I haven't been posting new art in here recently. (cs4 production premium baby!)

Draw a Larvitar.

That is your true test.

love kirby! looks like he's really in a bed of grass. so cute! you have different styles, and i really admire how experimental you are. i like the polar bear sketch, too -- maybe you could make one for tasmanian devils :)

Thanks. As for kirby, I just used the grass brush in elements. I might be able to do a tasmanian devil drawing, but I can't really guarantee what it'd look like. What would the drawing be composed of, with the tasmanian devil? There's not really much I know about them to be honest lol. Also, I'm working on a digital painting of myself. Hopefully I'll soon be able to break my way into some degree of realism. There's a lot of work left on my current attempt, but i'll see what I can do with it. :)

I have a question for you guys: Would you like me to purge this thread of the old art that is so low in quality?(ie: gannondorf and typhlosion) Most of this thread was me just starting out. Personally, I think that what I'm doing now has a lot more quality.

Update. I re did the prinny.

Lol thanks. I thought this thread had died for good. Anywho, yeah I need to update sometime soon. I've been working on realism more, so you guys probably wouldn't recognize my new stuff. Currently doing a portrait of my dead grandfather for my dad. (it's a secret b'day present) I have another older drawing that I might be able to scan though. I'd love to post them when I've got them digitalized. :D

Here's an approach on realism.

Working into realism digitally now. :D

Mountain sheep for a friend. :)

Elephant seal for randomness lol.

I can link the references if anyone wants them. They're both from free stock photos I found online.
