That's pretty cool, in a squirrelly sort of way. Doesn't fit on my monitor, though, so I have to scroll around it.Gale17 said:well, here's something i did

I notice it's on notebook paper...just how boring was the class you were drawing that one in?! :rofl:Gale17 said:well... since moonbear posted a drawing.. i kinda...
well, here's something i did. its weird, most of my friends hate it or love it. eh... i like it, and that's what really matters, but um, whatever I'm going to share. I also think its better zoomed in a little... but that's me. i like the details. http://www.memetika.com/media/341_409_193025155lGDJUB_fs.jpg

That's a lot more like what I would consider abstract art. My eyes were really drawn to that road in a star for some reason. Pretty nifty.
That seems more like surrealism than abstract. It struck me as very Dali-esque!Gale17 said:hmm, i don't remember if i drew it in class or not, but it took me days. i prefer drawing on notebook paper... seems more... something... and i like the pen too... I'm really sensitive about my drawings cause some people hate them or make fun...
anyways, i started drawing, and this was my first thing.

The stick figures in the glass of water made me laugh (especially the two fighting at the bottom ). The rest is quite good.this one was my attempt at some skill...

Pretty elaborate doodle there! Inspired by Mushroom, mushroom!? Hey, that guy in that doodle has the same top hat as you had in the other drawing! You must like drawing top hats.oh, hey, i have an actual doodle here as well..

TheStatutoryApe said:There is a subtractive medium called Scratch Board. It's a piece of card stock coated with clay and a thin top coat of ink. You take the handle for an ink pot pen and put a special "scratch nib" in it instead of a pen nib and you use this to scratch lines into the ink layer. They also make scratch board with multiple layers of ink, each a different colour.
I really like Dali myself.Gale17 said:i get the dali thing a lot. i didn't even know who he was till someone said my art was similar... now I'm a fan.
It probably depends on what you draw often. Those things in your list seem pretty normal.is it odd to draw certain things often?
Yep, you're good at drawing those things, or they have shapes you enjoy drawing. Actually, only you can answer that.think it means something?
Very good. You make the rest of us look like kindergarteners!TheStatutoryApe said:These are a bit small but at full size they are really big.
I haven't worked on any art in quite some time. It's rather depressing.
I really like those, especially the 2nd one with the flying baby. Sort of reminds me of Terry Gilliam's drawings for Monty Python. And that's a really good drawing of the dude in the doodle (is that why the call it that?). I notice that he has feet like Moonbear, though.Gale17 said:i'm really sensitive about my drawings cause some people hate them or make fun...
Thank you Moonbear.Moonbear said:Very good. You make the rest of us look like kindergarteners!
Hey, maybe we can fix up enigma with that winged woman!
Sorry Danger. They seem to kinda come and go. Until Moonbear commented I wasn't sure tehy were showing up properly or not. I think you'd like the winged lady she was referring to though. ;-)Danger said:Mr. Ape, I can't see yours
You stashed them, perhaps, as bitmaps? Normally those work okay, but I couldn't see some here until Evo converted them to jpegs. Doesn't make sense why I can access them on some sites and not on others.TheStatutoryApe said:Sorry Danger. They seem to kinda come and go. Until Moonbear commented I wasn't sure tehy were showing up properly or not. I think you'd like the winged lady she was referring to though. ;-)
At first they showed up as broken links, then I clicked "quote" and copied the URLs to view them, and they showed up okay after that. I thought you fixed something between when I first viewed them and when I clicked "quote."TheStatutoryApe said:Sorry Danger. They seem to kinda come and go.

They're both jpegs. I think it's an issue with the image tags linking to the server they're on. Here, I've copied them as direct links instead of with the image tags. See if this helps:Danger said:You stashed them, perhaps, as bitmaps? Normally those work okay, but I couldn't see some here until Evo converted them to jpegs.

Thanks for the effort on my behalf, but both flagged me with "FORBIDDEN You don't have permission to access"... etc.. I'll just have to wait until he's famous and buy the prints.Moonbear said:See if this helps:
This is the kind of "abstract" art I like. Lots of energy and detail, and which displays actual drawing skill.Gale17 said:well, here's something i did...

Thanks, but no go. I tried it and still got the same message.yomamma said:try logging out and clicking on the links
This is an actual, realistic sketch. Not bad at all for the time you spent on it. I assume if you worked on it longer it would become bolder and easier to see (It's on the faint side as is).Moonbear said:Okay, here's my lame drawing from this afternoon.
zoobyshoe said:This is the kind of "abstract" art I like. Lots of energy and detail, and which displays actual drawing skill.
Hmm...odd. Try opening another window for some other site, like google, and then paste in the address from there. Sometimes sites get funny about direct links from here, though you'd think we'd all have that problem if that was the issue. It's a shame, because his drawings are really very good. One is of an alien sitting in front of a pyramid and the other is of a nude, winged woman.Danger said:Thanks, but no go. I tried it and still got the same message.
I agree. You've got some talent there Gale. So do you have any artistic aspirations or are you really mostly just interested in math?zoobyshoe said:This is the kind of "abstract" art I like. Lots of energy and detail, and which displays actual drawing skill.
Yeah, I don't really do the abstract thing. I like looking at abstract are, but I'm not good enough to see something in my head and draw it, so need to draw while looking at something. I tend to sketch very lightly because I'm rather tentative about pressing too hard and not being able to erase cleanly. I never considered going back over something and darkening it. It's worth a try while I'm dabbling to see if I can improve.zoobyshoe said:This is an actual, realistic sketch. Not bad at all for the time you spent on it.

That's even weirder. Both of those addresses took me to something called 'The Search Machine'. First time I hit the 'close window' button and then returned here using 'go'. When I hit the 'back' button instead of the 'close window' one the second time, IE quit.Moonbear said:Hmm...odd.

I don't know what this is going to do to the quality, but they're small enough files that I can attach them for you. Though, we'll have to wait for Evo to come around (I'm not sure if she's still on this late).TheStatutoryApe said:I agree. You've got some talent there Gale. So do you have any artistic aspirations or are you really mostly just interested in math?
And sorry again Danger. I tried to make them attachments but this computer is a piece of junk and won't let me.
What people do is sketch lightly in regular pencil, do all the erasing they need to do with that, then when everything's all composed and nice, go back with great courage and boldness with the colored pencils.Moonbear said:I tend to sketch very lightly because I'm rather tentative about pressing too hard and not being able to erase cleanly.

Right on! That worked, and they're well worth waiting for. In this case, I put them into Illustrator to enlarge them. Very nice. You're right about the winged one, Stats. I appreciate a woman who's equipped with her own down comforter.Moonbear said:I don't know what this is going to do to the quality, but they're small enough files that I can attach them for you.
Ah...guess I haven't built up that courage yet. :uhh:zoobyshoe said:What people do is sketch lightly in regular pencil, do all the erasing they need to do with that, then when everything's all composed and nice, go back with great courage and boldness with the colored pencils.
Promise you won't laugh? Crayola I think. I didn't get them at an art store, they're just cheap pencils. Maybe I should get some good quality pencils to finish the drawing now that you're inspiring me to keep playing with this.What brand of colored pencils do you have?
I can see them now!Moonbear said:I don't know what this is going to do to the quality, but they're small enough files that I can attach them for you. Though, we'll have to wait for Evo to come around (I'm not sure if she's still on this late).

I had two traumatic experiences with color! My first grade teacher came over and humiliated me in front of the class because I used grey on a tree trunk (the damned grey tree was right outside the window for everyone to see) and told me there must be something wrong with me: wood was brown, everyone knew that!Gale17 said:...i did a project on nile crocodiles.. and i drew this great croc and i drew every single scale and shaded and everything, i mean, it was really really good, i skipped recess even cause i wanted it perfect. then my teacher said i had to color it in... i picked up a green crayon, and slowly watched as all my hard work was completely covered up. i cried. I've been scared of coloring ever since.
