@mojokingbee - the pogo stick was alright, it actually gave me a little better control than I was expecting, but I find it frustrating not being able to know where exactly the "tip" is going to be interpreted on screen from the rounded pad of the pen. Also, drawing with it for about 3 hours straight gave me a muscle strain in my wrist that I'm still feeling. That's probably more a question of how I was holding it, and I'll have to be more careful. I'm interested to try Wacom's Bamboo Stylus for the iPad and see how it compares.
And yes, I just used little scribbly lines. Two hours of little scribbly lines. When I realized I couldn't be precise, but wanted to capture the expression anyway, I figured if I used the incredibly little scribbly lines I could find my accuracy in statistics... i.e. - I would just scribble more where it looked closer, and over time the right things would emerge. This worked, but it is beyond tedious. I think you could probably write an algorithm that could do it.
I think there are 3 or 4 of you guys in here? Since I cut my own paper I have a ton of 2' x 17 sheets of strathmore. I usually keep these and use them as paper for my inking warm ups.
First drawing in a LOOONG time! Sorry for the poor quality. It's an ipod picture. If I ever get my scanner fixed and properly hooked up, I'll scan it, clean it, and colour it. I also attempted to draw @davie, as the severed head, but it didn't turn out too well... plus, long hair... Oh well. Hope you guys like it :)
@Paul Sizer! This one's for you!! I used a picture of you from an old Your Message To The World thread :) (sorry your dog looks more like a hyena in this drawing. I've never drawn animals before >_<)
Unfinished (needs to be scanned and cleaned up) but still with love!
@SmileyFish - Loved this pose. The moment I saw it, I had to draw it. Here's what I've just quickly sketched out. When I get more time, I might finish this up a bit more.
Here's a couple normal pictures of me that I actually don't mind (in the second pic I'm the one on the left). But if you want to have some real fun... Have at it.
