My "Portfolio"

After doing this drawing I most definitely learned something from it.

I learned:

1. Being Tired, Lazy and at work doesn't make your drawing any better.

2. I don't know anything about shading.

3. I need to practice shading.

4. Shading takes time.

5. Using toilet paper to smooth out shading isn't all that effective.

6. Need better equipment.

If you are wondering here is what I was drawing:

Moon
2 dead trees
grassy land
back ground mountains.

In the actuall picture there is water. I have no clue how to do water.


Drawing this was still fun though. Gave me something to think about. 6 more hours and I am off work.

I have a question. When it comes to drawing a blank (starting of a portrait) does anyone have any suggestions on an easy way to do it? Is there like a cut out of an egg shape I can use, should I just keep practicing them till I can draw it free hand? Does it even matter if the blank comes out well shaped or can I just go about making the face when I just make and crapy egg shape and it will fix it on its own?

My new WIP. It is also displayed in the Mythical Creatures Topic. Hoping to get at least 12th best Mythical Creature with this one. Can only get better right?

Ok so I am almost done with the scales. I just need to figure out what I am going to do to darken the lines, then I need to figure out if I am going to use color or grey scale. But first maybe I should practice my coloring and shading. lol. Then I can post it in Mythic creatures topic as COMPLETED!

Booters! Russ! I need to ask you both a question!
