A thread for posting the results of trying things outside your normal comfort zone, or the comparisons to and discussion thereof.
For those in the market for a tablet costing less than most meals out (and who live in the UK), Amazon have the PS3 uDraw tablet for £9: http://www.amazon.co.uk/uDraw-Tablet-including-Instant-Artist/dp/B005PJRM6G/ PC drivers here: http://brandonw.net/udraw/ Pros: Cheap Easy to install (plug in the dongle hidden in the battery bay, run the driver program) Works Source available Cons: While the pen is pressure-sensitive, the drivers only implement this as a pressure threshold to left click. Very small movements are slightly jittery (could just be my hand wobbling).
i'm trying to illustrate a whole movie through a series of short gifs... well it's something at least.
Lolo with bedroom eyes.

Drawn Cat is the keeper of the sketchvault of 'brel. Leave your petitions with Drawn Cat. Bribes won't hurt, either.
Bumping my old drawthread off the front page with a new one. Rummaging through my artwork folder resulted in forgotten treasures. Like this Necron.
So I would like to render some of the Hella Funtime Adventure Pals in the THIRD DIMENSION™ and so this thread will mark my descent into madness. Let's begin, shall we? You see Bones on the right there, rendered in his adorable not-front on view. I have attempted my best to replicate him front on, and I have come to these 4 designs. What would you say looks the best?
Could someone maybe draw Vanilla Ice as a frilled lizard please? Um... with his shirt off?
So this looks a place as good as any other to post the random crap I draw, mostly quest ideas, and stuff. Like this one, possible inspiration for a new quest, also practicing with non-flat colors.
Because in the Grim Derpness of the Far Future there is only Herp. Or something along those lines, anyway.
Drawing shit for the lulz, I'll post when I'm livestreaming. Someone's OC I drew for the lulz.
So I have this quest over here: >>/quest/392455 I just got back to updating it after a long break, and literally right after I made the first new post in it, my computer decided to die. I don't really want to put things back on hold until I can get it fixed, because it could be quite a while. So I'm trying to get by with a sucky little different OS laptop and what freeware art stuff I can find. Problem is, I was doing this quest in a precise, no freehand tools style, just ovals and lines and such, because my normal art program swings that way, and now, all I have is freehand stuff. I can get by pretty well when I'm recycling previously visited rooms, but when revealing new parts of the map? This is outright unacceptable. Anyone feel like doing me a solid and re-rendering this sloppy piece of @#$% in the style yon quest is using? (4 connected rooms, the upper left quadrant already having been seen, conveyor belt deals seen previously in the first thread.) Otherwise yeah, I need to just put this sucker back on hold.
Another Soqdraw thread. This time I promise to start a quest of my own before this thread dies. Also I can paint a little now.
c'mon faggots, 4chon is down. draw some shitView animation
I guess it's okay if I dump my random scribbles here?
So, yeah. Why not? This one is obviously incomplete; but I like where it's going. Expect wildly varying levels of quality based on my level of caffination.
Seems like a lot of people do artdumps here, so might as well do.
Hey /draw/, how the fuck do I draw a human head? This is the closest I've come to getting the general shape down right, with a circle and a line going on the slopes of it, but I can't seem to get the facial features down correctly. It also makes a rather pointy chin, which kind of disturbs me. What could I be doing differently? Thanks.

don't mind me, just here to drop some Bangles.
So... I was looking at the threads and stuff and I really like quests. But I suck at drawing. That is why I shall attempt to improve with paint. My first attempt... why does his arms remind me of snakes? Why did I make his hands snakes? I am bad at art.
I am sent from the Chapter Master development team in one of our many hours of getting shit done! For those unfamiliar: Chapter Master began as a joke on /tg/ where posters would make up greentext stories about their misadventures at the helm of a space marine chapter. Before long, we decided that jokes are all well and good, but that we needed more, and thus have been working the past few months to Get Shit Done. Now that Finals are ending, our development team is getting a much-needed second wind, and we're looking for more hands to help us complete this mighty and worthy challenge! I know there are tremendously skilled, 40k familiar drawfags here- much more skilled than I, to say the least- and even if you're not so confident, it certainly wouldn't hurt to make a post on the dev forum at http://tgchaptermaster.freeforums.org/ just in case! Because you weren't seriously planning on seeing your family this holiday season, were you?
Figured I should post my art somewhere. Here seems good.
Hey, guys. This place seems cool.
Slightly more canon Mika! Cross-board links to /TEMP/ are the devil.
Painting out of boredom. Updating as I go.
In my bid to improve my art. So, I have been planning a quest. Maybe one day I'll start it, who knows. But it's a good reason to concept characters, and this guy is one of a range.
Well, new drawthread. No servo-arms, because I had no idea how to use them, and putting them here not doing anything kinky would have been even worse.
Just so everyone knows, I am actually quite proud of this at this moment in time. This will be an ongoing chronicle of me learning to draw. I plan to use posemaniacs heavily, but in any given attempt will post the reference next to the image. Das pretty much it.
Any /tg/ refugees here remember gnollchan?
"Darius the Coward" Description: This is an anonymous binary PNG encoded painting. On the item is an image of macedonian soldiers. On the item is an image of a persian king. The soldiers are running. The king is running. The artwork relates to the persecution of Darius the Third by Alexander of Macedonia in 333 b. C. Criticize.
Someone dared me today on /tg/ to draw a Sister and here's the end result. Sister Huge, a giant sister who according to /tg/ has eaten marines, aliens, plasteel walls and even part of her own face. It was oddly pretty amusing, so I figure I see what you guys all throught of my drawfaggotry.
Hey /draw/, I am looking for a good online group draw chat thingy, wanna use it to draw with bros and stuff. Any recommendations? I looked at this site's Shi-Painter, but it's interface man, I couldn't make heads or tails.
So according to my psych professor, I should record my dreams as best I can, which in turn should help me dream more lucidly later on. Wanting to pull some Inception shit on my mind, I started doing that. This is the result. Some Chinese magical girl fighting a Tyranid Carnifex off the coast of San Francisco. In case anyone else wants to spill their guts, this is dream drawings thread. If you can remember your dream, draw/describe the part you remember best, and/or the weirdest.
sup. I do pictureses. I thought I'd join the bandwagon and post a few from /tg/ and elsewhere. Enjoy.
This board doesn't seem to get a lot of love, so I'm going to give it some! This is Kliss, of the Slissa race. Fairly soon there will be a quest revolving around her.
I am without tablet right now so I am drawing lots of catssssssssssss :0
sometimes i draw things on a stream just like uncle bite this is where i'll puttem
stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuff uploading sketches on here might get me drawing again
Photos of the table at Macaroni Grill, where we all ate fancy Italian food and drew crap. This is Capt. Slowpoke.
yes. yes it is.View animation
Ok man sorry for making you wait all that time, hope y like it!
Ok no real reason to do this but to help a dude fulfilling his request, anyways a dump of my recent drawfag activities.
sup /draw/. I need your help. see, I've been working on creating a somewhat crazy D&D setting that has no typical D&D races. I have to come up with a fairly unusual species that mainly occupies every elemental plane. problem is, I can't come up with anything good for the plane of water that isn't some typical shit like mermaids or sahuagin. pic related; it's a low-detail sketch of the races of air, fire and earth. I don't know if this is better suited for /tg/, but I might dump some more shitty sketches in here later. especially if there are any requests.
Started to make sketches lately in the hope of improving my drawing skills some day. Just going to dump some of them here.
Can anyone draw this better? kthx
I'm having artist's block or something. Lately all I've been drawing is homestuck/divequest fan art and my 3 original characters over and over again in different styles. I need to draw more stuff... so.. What should I do? (Feel free to critique my work. Also I do have a tablet.)

For Gnoll, as I haven't posted it everywhere else enough yet.
I figured we might want an open "Vidyagaem" drawthread, so I'm setting one up. Can't promise I'll contribute more than scribbles (as per normal, for me), but make any crazy videogame based requests you have here. Afterall, not all videogames are /tg/ related, and we'd have to be KINGS OF SPEED to someone manage a thread on /v/. Go to town. Old games, new games, SFW, NSFW, whatever. Enough drawfags will filter through that someone probably likes the game you're talking about. If you don't know the pic is (a work in progress) of Ashlotte from Soul Calibur 4, than I'm sorry you're not familiar with the best character in the game! Though I still love Ivy, of course...
just because i need to let the energy flowView animation
Practising that Japanese way of drawing things.
Didn't know where else to dump these!
Okay I have to throw these somewhere. And maybe I'll even get one or two suggestions on what to improve, that would be the best.
I think I need a thread for the weird shit I doodle. For example, some beak faced monsters find an owl statue. Link forgot to hit this one with his sword. Well, unless maybe he just never wanted to warp back here.
MSpaint, the ultimate draw-tool. As my advanced drawing-tools are gone ( tablet, SAI etc. ), I got bored and did some shitty mspaint shitscribbles. Here they are! Have a happy Jan. And yeah, I don't mind other people posting.
>I don't care if you guys like or don't like homosuck, but there wasn't a troll for Ophiuchus (look it up fagurt) so I made one up! I'm going to finish coloring her and shit. Here is some information on her and Ophiuchus in general: # Name: Ophiuchus # Translation: Serpent Holder name: Rhoviera Anguis Troll handle: anguillaNuntia # seeker of peace and wisdom # Attractor of good luck and jealousy # Interpreter of dreams # One who reaches for the stars # Wearer of plaid (this one is oddly specific) * Many people are envious of the Ophiuchan as he/she progresses well throughout life. * A seeker of wisdom and knowledge * A flamboyant dressing sense, favouring bright colours. * Authority looks upon him/her well * Would make a great architect or builder * Number 12 is the lucky number. * Will have a big family but will leave home at an early ageView animation
Push request, receive drawing. Some day maybe.
UNACCEPTABLE? DID YOU SEE THE POOL?!
Newfag here. Trying to get comfortable with my new pad, if anyone wants to request weird stuff, I'll give anything a try. For your viewing pleasure, I present: TOASTER/ADVENTUREView animation
So, this is how I get to be a popular drawfag, right?View animation
openCanvas 1.1 is terribly broken, yes, but since nobody's come forth with a sweet new replacement, I took it upon myself to try and fix one of its most egregious problems. Thus, I present to you: The oC SyncKeeper! This little tool wraps the opencanvas exe, detects when oC loses focus, and sends the app an artificial activation message, essentially tricking oC into thinking it has focus all the time. What does this mean? It means that you no longer have to stay focused on the oC window while waiting for it to sync! :O The possibilities are endless! Anyway, here it is: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14204175/downloads/synckeeper.zip To use, just download the zip file, unpack, and run synckeeper.exe. You can use this thread to report bugs, give feedback, and other stuff. Feel free to share the link or distribute synckeeper, just please accredit me! It'd make me feel all warm and special inside! Big thanks to Dylan (who you all know) for assistance with different things, help with .exe packing, moral support, and much more, and also aegis (who none of you know) for help with pywin32 and the strange beast that is MFC. Willing to reconsider now, N?
Because some good art was ruined resizing it. Stabbity's version of Dilia I extra-ruined.
So, I was doing some practicing when I saw this board. Tell me if I'm doing it alright. There's not much to this image, I know, but try to evaluate it as best as you can.
._.
yaaaayyyyy. someone was complaining I didn't post something here so now I have a thread so shut upView animation

FUCK. YES. I keep this up and I might be able to update my quest before it hits the graveyard. Refine my arts a little bit, get rid of a lot of the text and make some alterations to the story telling and it might just be Showtime! Just gotta nail down them mech designs. Eh. Well my questing fellows, anyone else out there on the long struggle to arting? This stuff is bullshit hard.
I don't really understand the point of using sketches and whatnot in quest graphics. Maybe it's the primitive software I use, but I find it a lot easier to just ctrl-z until the line comes out right with little to no difference in quality. But maybe it's just me.
Gif tutorial. Because.
http://mrdoob.com/projects/harmony/ http://www.zefrank.com/scribbler/gallery/index_ran.html 1. Draw something fabulous and/or creepy as shit using one of these sites. 2. Post in this thread 3. ??? 4. Profit! Freak me the hell out, everyone.
Maybe if I just drew more traditionally I could update faster? (picture does not accurately represent projected quality)View animation
Truly, this is what it means to be virtuous.View animation
Gone...the entire board is gone. Oh well, at least I still have my books.View animation
Is anyone else still stuck to the good ol' rodent? It's a pain in the ass to draw a good curved line, but it's bearable since I upgraded to optic. However, still afraid to step out of pixel art ._. Any hints on optimal DPI and wrist setup? Pic related, how bad I suck.
Because it amused both of us, and was getting too crowded to continue without having to erase something.
& dis?
So, novice drawfag here. I'm terrible at drawing, but I enjoy it sometimes. I don't practice a lot though, nor do I have a drawing pad. Eyes are the devil. Human eyes are nearly impossible, but any eye seems challenging. The placement of the eye, the pupil, whether or not to draw an iris (I tend to prefer not to, too much detail). It all ends up adding personality to a character, even if it is undesirable (looks dumb). The pupils seem to be one of the hardest things, since even if you have them directed at an object, or the viewer, it can look horrible. Picture is a drawing of a Raichu. I opted out on drawing eyes at the last moment because I couldn't get them to look right. TL;DR How do you draw eyes?
I take a drag on my cigarette, awaiting requests to the bulk of which I will almost certainly not answer.
First off, read http://www.clanwebsite.org/games/rpg/Dawn_of_Worlds_game_1_0Final.pdf ... Done? Good. The admittedly squiggly lines to the left are the three continents. Not sure how many people to have playing, so I'll just wing it. Aaaaaaand go!View animation
