@ncstokes Praying for you. I know all of that stress can be incredibly difficult. I hope things ease up on you soon and that you even manage to squeeze some time in to create things. I’m very glad you joined this guild as well.

@ncstokes Hi! Good question. I think Lin summed up the eye part really well. First off, the eyes you drew looked great to me! Especially how you drew the iris as being partially concealed by the eyelids. Drawing faces is something Eye’ve been working on a lot this past year (and I am, by no means, an expert yet either).

In my experience, whats…[Read more]

@ncstokes Wowie, I think Lin has you covered! (I found it to helpful myself haha!)

I will say though, don’t feel bad if it doesn’t feel like you’re getting any better. If your practicing, then you are getting better. Most people (myself included) can’t see the progress till they look back on older art.

@ncstokes Hi there! I drew what I think about when drawing eyes, I hope it’s helpfull!

Try to remember that an eye is actually a ball with some neat shutters in front of it. Sometimes I even draw a simple round shape and build a complex eye on top of it. This can be a handy trick if you’re just starting out. When drawing the face in profile the…[Read more]

@ncstokes Eye’d love to try and help you out! Though it may be easier for me if eye could see how you draw them already. Is there any chance you could post a picture? If not eye can try to help anyway.

(Tagging some people for you)

@ncstokes, Aw, thank you so much!

@bama-rose, Wait…. Did I draw what?

@ncstokes Oh, really?! That’s great!! 😀 😀 Welcome to the world of art.  Oohh Concept art is SO FUN!! If you ever post any of your artwork you should totally tag me. 😀

@ncstokes Welcome! 🙂 What planet are you from, then? I’m native 😉
@rebecca-w I’m looking forward to using gouache because of that! For more opacity and contrast, etc. I really need to get around to playing around with it soon.
@theclumsy_lamplighter 16 at the moment. I like drawing people for that same reason! The only thing is, I think I’ve got…[Read more]

@ncstokes You’re welcome.
If you have any questions you can ask. But I know it’s hard to know / what you don’t know / so that you know what to ask. That sentence was confusing so I broke it up. 😛

@theclumsy_lamplighter @ncstokes

Here’s a warm welcome to the both of you! Sorry, I wasn’t here right away to welcome you all in, but I’m glad you found yourself here. But good news! I’m all moved into my new apartment and a new semester has started.

So what kind of art do you both like to make?

@ncstokes Yes, it is yours truly fighting with a tree. Luckily for the tree, he surrendered.

There are a bunch of tiny pine trees around a park near my house and one time I was like, “hey wouldn’t it be funny to pose like Godzilla and pretend I was way huger than I actually was?

I wrote a blog post about…[Read more]

@ncstokes Nice. I thought I recognized it! 😉

@ncstokes Welcome to the art guild!! 😀 I too enjoy creating miniature people. 😉 How long have you had an interest in art? I can’t wait to see your work popping up on the forums. ^-^
