Ohh Waddles it soo cute.

I love her pose-adorable.  :D
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on March 26, 2013, 04:06:59 PM
Yeah :D
I found this pose of her in the "Caption This" section and I thought:" Ducky, you HAVE TO draw this, they'll love it!" :DD

Anyway, the original pic has grass in the background :)

I saw it in your avatar, it's an adorable drawing! :D The pose is very cute :)

What do you mean, you can't draw? This is beautiful! Seriously, you have a knack for drawing our resident sweety-pie swimmer ;)
I love how smooth the lineart is, as well.
Brilliant!!
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on March 26, 2013, 04:50:04 PM
Thank you Iris and Strut :)
I was surprised about my drawing skills to be honest. I didn't know I have this talent.
But I'm only good, when I draw something, that is already existing( =a screenshot, a photography etc). I'm mostly failing in drawing out of imagination.

Post by: somerandomfangirl on March 26, 2013, 05:14:01 PM
I used to think the same thing when I started drawing LBT fanart. I started by drawing from screenshots and as I did so I sort of... learned the build of the character and could draw it from scratch. <--- At the moment this only applies to longnecks for me. :lol

Yep, this is really adorable! You have talent, Ducky. Looking forward to seeing more from you! :D
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on March 26, 2013, 05:17:50 PM
Yep, maybe I'll learn that someday ;)

I won't disappoint you :yes

I have the exact same problem (although I sculpt rather than draw). I'm decent at recreating something someone else has drawn, but creatures or objects straight from my mind never work out the way they should ;p

I already have plans for my next drawing ;) It'll include the whole gang ^^

Right now you have the most beautiful avatar on the forum.
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on March 29, 2013, 08:59:28 AM
:wow you made me speechless :DD
I really feel honored, kind of you :)
Like Pterano would say: That's a great compliment from your small beak
But your avatar is adorable, too :yes That's from the scene, where the gang wanted Petrie to fly, isn't it? ;)
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: jansenov on March 29, 2013, 11:46:59 AM
Yes. The enthusiasm of our little swimmer in the scene really got me.
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)

That's a cute pose you drew of Ducky.  :yes Good job. I like it.

Hah, that's an awesome quote :D
Can't wait to see the next picture! I actually drew a pic of the Gang - debating on whether or not I want to color it :p
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on May 08, 2013, 05:54:37 PM
Well, I know I let you wait... school's responsible  :x
The next days I'll post some (mainly Ducky) artwork... :yes
I need to colour them first though  :rolleyes:

However I'll start with something I did nearly two months ago... I was just to lazy to scan it :P:
It's a birthday card I drew for somerandomfangirl: Here it is...
(https://s20.postimg.org/yow33rs7h/Happy_birthday_Molly.jpg)
I know the background sucks  :smile

EDIT 8/4/17: link fixed
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Dosu2Dinner on May 09, 2013, 11:01:00 AM
It's wonderful! Will you do a card like that for everyone's birthday?  :lol
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on May 09, 2013, 11:38:10 AM
hehe, thanks Dosu  :lol

honestly I don't know  :D I'm not sure, whether I think of good ideas for b-day cards...
Though only members I often talk to would get a card from me ;)
I think you would qualify for that  :P:
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Dosu2Dinner on May 09, 2013, 05:54:37 PM
;) Thanks! And don't lose confidence in your ideas! This was great.
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on May 10, 2013, 04:03:30 PM
next one:
(https://s20.postimg.org/p70xhgvwt/3_Littlefoot_and_Cera_sketch_only.jpg)
This is from LBT 7. I decided to just do the sketch since the log in the middle(yes, it's a log for all who haven't realised it yet :P:) would look awful, when coloured I guess  :angel

EDIT 8/4/17 link fixed!
EDIT 8/18/17 had to fix again :p
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: somerandomfangirl on May 10, 2013, 04:10:17 PM
Looking good, Ducky! I remember that scene. :DD

And dang, your Cera looks way better than what I could ever produce. I find threehorns very difficult to draw. That's why I usually stick to longnecks. :lol

Saying that... I did a sketch of Ducky quite a while ago now, perhaps I should upload it, since I know you'll want to see. :D

Post by: StrutEggStealer on May 10, 2013, 08:55:59 PM
Love this!!
And love the fact that it's from one of my fave episodes ;-P
Your lineart is very clean and steady, nice job!!
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on May 22, 2013, 05:04:02 PM
yay for more Ducky fanart :lol

This one is great! I just should have coloured it more carefully(well, I saw it on the scans but my drawing looks fine  :huh:)
So here's the sketch:
(https://s20.postimg.org/sj9vzg68d/4_Ducky_The_Most_Evil_Swimmer_sketch.jpg)
and here's the coloured version(I took the liberty to edit it slightly since it was far too bright for some reasons and it was fun to edit it :DD)
(https://s20.postimg.org/hpxbttiml/5_Ducky_The_Most_Evil_Swimmer_coloured.jpg)
you see the colouring could be better...

That's my avatar now plus one special feature... :angel

EDIT: have to wait until someone can fix an uploading problem...

That one's for vonboy :) the colours for Chompers mouth aren't correctly choosen though :angel

here's the sketch, guess which movie it was from :P:
(https://s20.postimg.org/hdazkr6od/7_Ducky_Bad_Luck_coloured.jpg)
and here's the coloured artwork :D Like in 'the most evil Swimmer' I could have coloured it better :angel I guess I'm too self-critical  :smile

thanks Strut :)

that's indeed the scene I drew  :lol
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on July 01, 2013, 03:48:55 PM
Another Ducky artwork  ;)
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/img647_zps3cfdfa55.jpg)
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/img648_zps45e5ba2b.jpg)
again I wasn't very careful in colouring :bang I regret not being more careful... but.. anyway, it still looks cool, doesn't it :P:
Guess which movie this is from :)

Note: I might edit some of the earlier pictures since I know how to edit them now (mainly the brightness will be changed to the advantage of the artworks :yes) I'll also tidy up my photobucket account soon --> moving the images into albums --> links change --> images have to be reposted --> they'll be away for some hours.
I'll probably make a post here to let you know and add a new drawing after I'm done with the moving and reposting :yes Also, it'll be in my sig while I'm moving them :yes

Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: MurMur on July 01, 2013, 04:12:07 PM
Ducky is cute as always. :) Good job!
I think it's from LBT 2, where the narrator introduces the characters in the beginning.
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: StrutEggStealer on July 02, 2013, 01:24:13 PM
Very nice, Ducky :yes
I like your color scheme, too. I don't think it's bad at all. If anything, it'a little bright, but that might just be the fault of the scanner^^
And there's nothing wrong with being bright :)
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on July 04, 2013, 09:19:20 AM
MurMur: Yep, that's the scene :)

Strut: I already made the sketch and the coloured version as dark as I could  :smile My scanner seems to be very bright...

I'm currently working on a Cera-Ducky picture :yes Next picture that I'll post will be Ducky-Petrie.
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on July 10, 2013, 04:10:04 PM
As promised: Ducky/Petrie image :D
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/img652_zps9bb9e0fa.jpg)
My scanner was so bright that it was almost invisible but I somehow managed to edit it :D
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/img660_zps008e55f3.jpg)
Aren't they cute :wub

Next one will be Ducky in a rather funny pose... y'all will see :)
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Petrie85 on July 11, 2013, 06:19:30 AM
That is a very good and great drawing you did there. The colors where good and the the pose's where awesome.

I think you are a fan of Ducky, might that be possible? xD

No, but seriously, I like your art :3 And the coloring-jobs aren't bad >:|

I know but I tried too hard to get them done in a little time (since I hadn't much apart from time for the GoF :P:). I didn't rush the recent one though, I coloured it carefully and I didn't hurry :)

I actually planned to draw another picture with them but I epically failed at the sketch :lol

Post by: Ducky123 on July 17, 2013, 01:20:07 PM
haha lol :lol I think our post-counts crossed between 900 & 1000.. I made a fairly bit of my posts in the Party Room and in the Caption This and in some fanart/fiction threads :smile but I'm also very active in the discussions I think...
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: I love Jelly Otter on July 20, 2013, 07:36:30 AM
Those are some nice drawings!
Out of curiosity, do you draw it with a reference material like looking at screenshot or by memory?
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on July 20, 2013, 10:19:46 AM
Thanks :)

I used screenshots so far, I'm currently attempting to do a project using as few screenshots as possible though. I need to learn to draw my own things and not just to copy a screenshot ;)
I'm very happy that so many people like my fanart because I actually was pretty bad at art classes :angel I didn't know I'm able to produce fairly okay-looking pictures :)
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on August 08, 2013, 08:56:39 AM
Darnit! I kept forgetting to upload this :slap

Sketch:
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/img651_zps2a4a25c4.jpg)
Coloured:
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/img661_zps2f102788.jpg)

I guess Ducky quaffed to much at Petrie's Starday Celebration Party :smile (don't ask why the left part of the coloured one is missing, I have no clue :confused)

I'm gonna move some stuff around on my photobucket account today and I might edit the brightnesses of some pictures (I figured some colouring didn't look that good in some recent pictures because they were too bright, especially the light green parts of Ducky looked bad)

I might redo my first drawing since it's pretty blurry due to the fact that I used my phone to shoot this picture :(

Oh, 1500th post :wow a good place to achieve this postcount, actually..
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: StrutEggStealer on August 08, 2013, 10:54:49 AM
Hah! I love her expression here! Is this from number 8? It seems really familiar (mind you, I haven't seen LBT 8 in a few years)

I like the brightness, IMO it fits Ducky's personality, bright and cheerful :3
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on August 08, 2013, 05:44:47 PM
Awww, nicely said :)

Yeah, it's from LBT 8 :lol
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on August 16, 2013, 09:57:59 AM
I'm going to show you an art project now. I thought I'd try a different way of colouring so I did the same picture twice. Enjoy!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Old style first... here's the sketch.
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/img657_zpsb3965aa7.jpg)
Yes, Ducky and Cera  :lol
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Coloured
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/img711_zps4cf5670f.jpg)
Man, it looks far better after some editing :wow
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Yeah... normally I'd stop at this point, askin' ya what ya think. Instead I'mma show ya the new style...
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Cera first, sketch only for the sake of completeness :P:
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/img659_zpsa173158a.jpg)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Aaaaaaand: Coloured *drumrolls*
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/img707_zps6758070d.jpg)
I'm not entirely happy about Cera but I think I could get the point of the new style across...
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
DUCKY!
>>>>>>>>>
Sketch for the sake of completeness
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/img658_zps9698f067.jpg)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Coloured (my mum thought it'd look better being bigger)
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/img712_zps588194ec.jpg)
It worked better with Ducky I think...
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
So.. It would be great to hear your opinions of the new style :yes Do you prefer the old or the new style? Any general Feedback is always appreciated of course :angel
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: jansenov on August 16, 2013, 02:19:06 PM
For the newer style to work better I think you would either have to do meticulous pencil coloring or go digital. With the way you color now the old style works better.

In any case, I would need to draw like a hundred times more lines to get the linework you have.
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on August 16, 2013, 02:42:32 PM
Thanks for your Feedback :)

I personally found it harder to use the new style, actually.

My lineart is probably as good as it is either because I just copy screen shots yet :angel or because I made the pictures sharper on photobucket.
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: StrutEggStealer on August 16, 2013, 07:34:06 PM
I love the new pics. Interesting tutorial; you obviously have way more patience than I do to accomplish this in so much depth :DD

I just love how you capture Ducky's expressions - the fact that she's your favorite character really helps with the art process. Like my grandpa says and I quote: "the greater the relationship, the stronger the likeness"
So keep up the good work! :D
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on August 17, 2013, 06:20:28 AM
Glad ya liked it :)

Patience is indeed required... to some degree :smile and thanks for quoting your Grandpa, this is a true saying :yes
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)

Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Kor on August 27, 2013, 12:58:19 PM
I do like the drawings here, and the way the different characters have different expressions rather then them all having the same expression all the time and the different poses.  I look forward to more drawings.
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on August 27, 2013, 02:22:54 PM
Thanks you two :)

I feel a little overrated at times because I just draw scenes of the movies as they are seen on screen instead of drawing my own things (or using a different style, position etc...)  :angel
If only I could draw off imagination instead of using references >_<

They also won't come very fast because school's being a pain..
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: StrutEggStealer on August 28, 2013, 08:17:55 AM
My advice, is use a certain reference, but then wing it for the rest of the pose :)
that way, you'll have the design down pat, and you'll also be able to draw it how you picture it. Give it a try.... when you have free time, of course. I don't want to get you in trouble with the superintendent of your school... that would be bad O_o
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Pterano on August 28, 2013, 10:46:12 AM
Nice recent additions, Ducky. :) I have to say, I know where you're coming from though. I'm not a good artist, and need a visual reference at all times whenever I attempt to draw something, but you make me look like a no-talent 4th grader with your work. XD Your drawings are rather good. :yes
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on August 28, 2013, 11:02:08 AM
Thanks for the advice Strut :DD

Thank you, too, Pterano :)

Post by: Ducky123 on April 06, 2014, 06:09:13 PM
Right... this thread has been gathering dust for almost half a year  :oops I haven't ceased drawing of course, I just lost motivation for a while and then I never got around to colour the stuff whenever I DID feel like drawing stuff... which has now changed. I have yet to scan those pictures though so this post only works as an announcement :angel
I hope that the feedback will keep my motivation high for a long time this time... the long breaks I have had were really preventing me from becoming a better artist...

Expect my update in the next few days... :wave
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on April 17, 2014, 06:05:27 PM
Or ten days... :lol

Well, finally I have about six or seven pieces of artwork that I can show you. I will upload one per week so that I can keep a sort of schedule for some time (I won't settle on a set day since I'm not going to keep these out of experience...). Besides, it is much easier for the reviewer to focus on just one picture ;)

My first picture should look familiar if you know me :smile
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/img710_zps07dc1be3.jpg)

^ Ah, very nice. :yes  This is a recreation of a scene from the eight film, I think.  :unsure: Where both Ducky and Petrie are sliding on ice.

Soo, like I said, my small review of your latest update. I hope it's somewhat useful for you. First, this (http://s1.directupload.net/images/140424/5s88tpo7.png).

And now to explain the colors:

Red: I'd try and make corners like that a bit smoother. It looks more natural that way. ;)

Yellow: It can happen that if you draw something while using a reference, that some things don't turn out exactly like they should. If that happens, some other parts might need some correction, too. In this case I think Ducky's tail should be seen between her legs.

Also I think the stomach outlines should be above the leg outlines. Perspective and stuff.^^

Blue: This outline is visibly thicker than some other outline parts. It tends to look better if the outlines all have the same thickness.

Violet: If you're not shading your drawings, the outlines look better without different shades of black.

Soo...that's it. I hope it is somewhat helpful and not confusing in any ways. You can always ask if that's the case though. :)

There were more places I could've circled, but I think you'll see them yourself. They all go into one of the categories above.

Oh, and one thing, but that's optional: Parts that use solid black/white like the eyes can be colored digitally, if you know how and want to. It improves drawings a lot, since I discovered it, I always do this with my pictures. ;)

Aaaand..let's see...now we're done. And like I said, you can always ask if you have something to ask. ;)

One last info: Everything I know and learned about drawing comes from one year of learning under a professional. He was a nice guy but he drilled us to make our stuff as perfect as possible. If you draw for fun, that is pointless (if you dislike it, that is). If you draw for yourself, you can always consider critics, but if you want to get better, do it at your own pace.

rhombus: Yes, that is the scene :yes As I said, the "slipping on ice" scene is pretty funny if you ask me and the expressions of the two are just hillarious. At least in my view :)

RS: Thanks for your elaborated and detailed review :)

Red: Well, that rough knee there is also seen on the  screenshot  (http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/screenshots/DuckyampPetrieslippingonice_zpsde3440e8.jpg)I used  :unsure: Though I agree, it would probably look better. After all, girls and women are said to have smoother knees than boys and men.

Yellow: I don't know if you are right here. Taking a look at the screenshot, you might notice that Ducky's upper body parts and her arms are leaning forward while her tail is doing the very opposite to prevent losing her footing on the slippery ice (I hope you get what I mean, not sure how to describe it...) Since her whole body is in danger of crashing into the ice facefirst, her tail is pointing upward to balance her. It would be more or less dragged across the ice if it was positioned in a way you indicated... I'm not sure if the points I made are valid or yours but, either way, thanks for pointing out... Maybe the animators messed something up here?   :unsure:

Regarding the other point: Yeah, you're right. Again, I was following the way the animators constructed Ducky's body. In the screenshot, it's even more extreme. My only explanation for this, might be that this little bit of yellow actually already belongs to the swimmer's tail...

Blue: Yes, got to be more careful when I'm strengthening the sketched lines with a black pencil :smile

Violet: Well, I don't do it on purpose :angel I try to have the colours as even as possible but it doesn't always work...


I have already figured that my black pencil is not strong enough... the next few pictures, I'll try a B4 (or a B6) pencil... Now if that doesn't create an acceptable tone of black, I might have to do it digitally though I'm rather against that to be honest.
The next few pictures that I will upload will probably have similar faults...

Thanks for your efforts. It's much appreciated, yep, yep, yep ;)

I think I should explain some things a bit better here. :D

Your outlines are pretty much spot-on, just a little more smooth (really just a little) around the corners should do the trick. ;)

About the tail thing: You actually said what I failed to say. xD
Quote
My only explanation for this, might be that this little bit of yellow actually already belongs to the swimmer's tail...

That's what I meant what seems to be missing in your drawing. If you compare the screenshot with your drawing, you can see that..ermm...find the right words for that..the outline between her legs should be a little bit more downwards, the way it is like in the screenshot. That way it looks more like it is connected to the tail. If this wasn't 100% clear, I'm going to send you a pm. xD

B6 should do the trick, when you look at the actual drawing. But I experienced it often enough that when something is scanned or photographed, that spots that look solid black on paper don't seem that way when digitalized.

I can see why you're against any digital manipulation, but see it like this: With it you can get the digital version closer to the actual thing, which isn't bad at all. Of course, overdoing it is pointless, but with some small changes you can improve a scan of something a lot.

You'd be surprised how much stuff I do on all my drawings in digital postproduction. The trick is to do it in a way that it isn't seen right away. ;)

But of course it's not necessary, not at all. :)

I'm gonna catch some Zs now...I need it. Has been a tough day. xD

Very nice.  :) After skimming through this topic once again, I can definitely see an improvement in your sketching and especially your coloring as time has gone on.  :yes Your artistic abilities are certainly far better than mine.

With regards to where this scene is from - I am unsure.  :unsure: Could this be from "The Search for the Sky-Colored Stones"?  Perhaps Ducky is admiring one of her precious stones?

Very nice.  :yes I can certainly understand why Spike would have been a challenge to color.  He effectively is the background here.  This picture (due to the abundance of coloring) also highlights the improvement in your coloring skills since the earliest drawings.  The coloring is very consistent and it lacks unevenness in its application.
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on May 19, 2014, 09:10:02 AM
Thank you :)

I guess my coloured pencil was not amused of being shortened :p Spike indeed serves as the background here (Sadly, I forgot which movie this is from). I personally really like the way I managed to display Ducky's emotions as feelings/emotions are something I'm not too good at yet... But as you said, I'm improving. Though a problem I'm having lately (which might be due to the motifs I'm drawing), is oversizing my pictures so not everything fits in. I sometimes even go as far as measuring up distances to make sure I don't oversize but that's only increasing the time I spend on drawing... Oh well, I'll never be satisfied with myself :lol

So... this is a lovely shot of Ducky during the song "Say So". I have used a slightly different colouring method, not only strengthening the outlines with a black pencil (I'm experimenting with those outlines in future drawings btw) but also making the colours a little darker/stronger to achieve that. I have tried it with a Cera/Ducky drawing long ago and feedback was mixed so I wonder what you think about it? Critism is welcomed, so is praise of course :)

Oh, and in case you're wondering what this brown bit in the lower, right corner... that's Littlefoot (whom Ducky is standing on in this shot :p)

With regards to your question on the Ducky drawing, I am not sure about the new outline method that you tried on Ducky.  The strengthened outlines seem to overpower her light coloration (even with the stronger colors), in my opinion.  It is still a very good drawing, in my opinion, and the dark outlines might not be as noticeable with a colored-in background, but the difference is noticeable on a white background in comparison to your earlier drawings of Ducky.  However, with characters of a darker coloration (Spike and Petrie, for example) the darker outlines and coloration would probably work rather well.

I look forward to seeing how your new outlining technique works in future drawings.  :yes

Post by: RockingScorpion on June 02, 2014, 07:32:59 PM
Aah, yep, I remember you said something about that Petrie. :D
And he looks good ;) not 1:1 perfect, but if you don't trace stuff, that's almost impossible. Even if it MAY look like it is, real 100% perfection..nnope. ^^

The only thing that seems a bit off is the size difference between his pupils. Other than that, good one. ;)

About the outlines: Nothing wrong with thicker outlines, but you should try and make them the same thickness everywhere. For example, Ducky's horn in the lastest drawing of her you did. ;)
And some lines are darker/brighter than the rest - this might be a cause of scanning, I don't know (that's why I take photos of my stuff^^), but if it's not, try and make them the same darkness everywhere - or maybe darker in a place where they line out a darker color shade, like Ducky's back.

That's it, I hope you can make something out of this. :)

Thanks for honest critique :angel I see what you mean. Of the next few drawings, I didn't colour any of them using that method but am eager to try it out with some of my drawings that are still only sketched (I always gather a few drawings and sketches before I scan them as the only scanner I have access to is the one at my mum's office so yeah... I'll see that she scans a few drawings at once).

Well, first and foremost, I do try to make the outlines as equal in strength as possible. I believe however that the main reasons as for why I can't keep it equal sometimes are: 1. It happens sometimes that I don't get it right at the first try so I just go over it again... I used to use a black coloured pencil for the outlining (as in my recent additions). I recently switched to using regular pencils, preferably a B4 but I've also used a normal B and it looked fine :) Which sort of leads me to... 2. Pencils lose their sharpness since they're being rubbed off. Moreover, and this is especially apparant with my black pencil as it is very think (made for young kids who need more stable pencils), it does make a significant difference whether you're using an edge or a rubbed-plain part of the pencil (hope you get what I'm trying to explain :p). I do try to make them equal in my future drawings as I can erase things when using pencils as opposed to their coloured compagnions ;)

Quote
And some lines are darker/brighter than the rest - this might be a cause of scanning, I don't know (that's why I take photos of my stuff^^), but if it's not, try and make them the same darkness everywhere - or maybe darker in a place where they line out a darker color shade, like Ducky's back.
Might be due to scanning to a certain degree but I assume it's rather my fault than the scanner's :p

Oh, don't worry. Your detailed critism is really helpful (applies to you as well, rhombus :)) Hmm, of course I will PM you in such a situation ;) Though I'd have to delete some PM's as my inbox is 98% full :smile So happy that I have no school tomorrow ^^

I've appeared to leave a review  :!

I think this might be the best drawing you've done so far. The body and head all look really good and even throughout. I think the only main criticisms I can see are that his right hand (the one he's pointing up with) looks a little odd, and that his beak is a little too orange - though since I know your crayon choice is limited, it's not exactly a big problem  :p

Awesome picture though, nice job!

Good drawing!  :yes

I have to laugh, however, as I imagine Petrie saying "Rise me minions!" while making that pose.  :lol Petrie needs to take some more lessons from Pterano.  Even when he tries looking scary, he ends up looking cute instead.  :yes

Thanks! Good caption too, hehe :lol He really should though... isn't be much more likeable when he's cute? We don't want a Petrie like in your fanfiction, hehe (though he hasn't changed that much, admittedly :angel)

Aww, they're so cute, aren't they? :p First time I drew Chomper and I'm quite happy with him (same goes for Ducky). One of the few drawings I'm actually happy with :p

A few drawings to come will have a flaw that I couldn't have predicted until I saw the aftermath... Let's just say that outlining with a B pencil is a bad idea since it smudges while colouring  <_< Planned to do some remakes soon (and I still gotta work on that storyboard, help!)

Anyway, hope ya like it :D

Argh very cute:) Though may I ask why you coloured Chomper purple instead of blue like he is in the 2nd film? Just wondering....
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on June 30, 2014, 08:36:19 AM
Well, I, personally, have never been bothered by his colour change (heck, I didn't even notice when I was young :p). I always considered him purple (the blue colour in LBT 2 has a bit of purple in it in my opinion) hence I coloured him purple. Besides, I think that pencil has a nice tone of purple (though it's a rather poor pencil in comparison to Ducky's green one...). If I decide to redo this (or if I find another adorable scene with Chomper in it that I can draw), then I might try blue on him. The shot I was using for this one had actually Spike in the bg and Petrie on the right but I decided to leave them out :p
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: rhombus on June 30, 2014, 09:09:11 AM
Another very nice drawing.  :yes As for leaving Spike and Petrie out, that was probably a good call as you wanted to direct attention to Ducky and Chomper.  As we all know Spike (being the big eater that he is) can take up a lot of scenery.  :p
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on June 30, 2014, 11:05:03 AM

The image looks a little blurry because I zoomed in. I had two characters on that sheet of paper but I scanned them together. Anyway, you might notice something that, sadly, happened in quite some of my latest drawings... This is the first one using the B pencil for outlining... and whenever I touched the outlines during colouring (which is unavoidable) the black of the pencil was smeared :( You can see this when you take a look at Ducky's belly.
Anyway, this is Ducky in a rather well known scene. Figure out where it belongs to? :p

Hope ya like it; I'm not that happy about but it's all right :)

I'm pretty sure it's from the 11th film were Ducky, Spike and Petrie getting all moody with Littlefoot. Then cry like soppy little pansy's about it later. -_-
I only just saw the 11th film for the first time a few weeks ago. And boy did it suck!

Post by: Ducky123 on July 08, 2014, 06:19:37 PM
That's exactly the scene this is based off :D While I do enjoy watching LBT 11, it's one of the poorer movies of the franchise indeed... I wouldn't say it sucks though :p

Now guess what (or rather...who?) the next picture will show  :idea

Yeah I'll admit it wasn't as bad as the 13th or 6th (my personally least favourite) but there was a lot of stuff that bugged me. I mean it had a good opatunity to implie what happened to Cera's real mum, but didn't, and I though Littlefoot was very poorly acted.

Well I'm not really sure who I'll do next... Petrie or Spike from the same scene?
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)

It'll be one of them but I won't reveal who it is :p I haven't drawn the character that's NOT going to be posted next Sunday (hopefully it'll be Sunday...)
13 and 6 are the two movies I like least as well though I'd say I like 13 more than 6... I really don't know why :D
You made a good point. They could've had Cera asking her dad at least.

Well I await it with great interest. Yeah the squeals had some good opportunity's for some good stuff but complety ignored them. E.G. the 10th film would have been a really good point to bring back Ali. But no, they went and made the little sod Shorty. -_-

I don't know if you know but I'm writing a story (Shorty's Dark Past) that sorta takes on the 10th movie. Ali will be there and I portrait Bron in a different way... oh, and Shorty of course :p Feel free to check it out :yes

Heh, I love that scene as well.  :lol You can practically imagine Petrie saying "He did it!" when he makes that expression.  

The drawing looks quite good, although there is some smearing by Petrie's left eye (which is the one to the right on the picture) and the medial portion of his mouth.  But besides those smears (left by the B pencil, I would imagine) it looks like a fine drawing.  :yes

Before you start wondering... the drawing ended up being a little bigger than I anticipated and it was my third attempt at this  :angel I'll draw it again one day...
Also, a cookie to everyone who figures out a little mistake I made :p
The colouring took me three hours I believe but I think I did a fairly good job a it (not counting the occasional smearing again  :anger ). Only does anybody know a better way of colouring the throats of the characters? The black doesn't look good imo but it's the only colour I have that I could use  :confused

Hope ya like it despite its obvious bugs :smile

That looks very nice, Ducky!  :yes Your shading is nearly perfect, in my opinion, with the only problem being the unavoidable smearing.  But the smearing doesn't seem too bad in this drawing.

As for the little mistake that you made, is the mistake that Cera's jaw is not well defined?  It seems that her mouth immediately meets her chest area in this drawing, as opposed to her jaw having a more defined structure.  If so, it is a minor error, in my opinion.  It took me a few moments to find it and I only noticed it because you specifically mentioned that there was a small error in the drawing.  :p

Overall, a very good drawing.  :)

I'm happy that you think so :smile The smearing is only visible on Cera if I'm not mistaken (maybe because she was the last character I coloured? Might have got lazy towards the end and not as careful as I should have been  :oops ) In terms of colouring, I had three problems to solve (not counting the question how to colour their thraots :p):
1. Littlefoot: Littlefoot was tricky because his colour range throughout the movies is quite noticeable. For brown is the only colour in my set that works on him, I figured I should use that (and I must say I'm happy with the result).
2. Spike 1: I was wondering how to make his body and his eyes, plates and spine look different from the rest of his body. The main problem was the coloured pencil I used for his body (it keeps braking  :bang ) When I was colouring another pic recently, I got really frustrated about that :p At least, it's almost too short to use now so I need to look for a better green pencil (one that doesn't have the same tone of green as the one I'm usually using on Ducky)
3. Spike 2: I don't have a pencil suiting the colour of Spike's belly at the moment so I had to improvise by mixing yellow and orange :smile

  Very nice! smile.gif You have captured the outlines of Cera and Spike nearly perfectly.
After a lot of fixing, it eventually looked pretty good but it was a hard way to get there :p Chomper was the toughest, strangely. I'm not sure if it's a mistake of the animators (that I might have copied) or just a matter of perspective that Chomper's snout is kind of stubby. Petrie just didn't look so great on the screenshot but I tried my best to copy his (fairly tough) pose. That  being said, I'm happy that you like the drawing :)

If both of you have noticed this, than it must be true :smile Well, the pencils I have not always match the colours the characters have. Neither of my (3) green pencils matches Spike's tone of green, unfortunately. I have tried the other dark green one on Spike here but apparently it's even darker than the one I was previously using on the Spiketail. I'll remember that next time for sure and again thanks for pointing out. I do appreciate critism, nobody is perfect after all :p

Wonderful!    I've noticed that all your sketches are pretty clean & you sorta "guess" how all lines & curves should be arranged from first go - how do you make it?   In my case, I can spend some 1 or 2 hours on a sketch of a character (that's much simple than these in LBT) till I get it almost 1:1, but then the whole sheet is full of lines & etc, so I have to guess which one among many ||||||'s in the correct one for outlining.  Having outlined it finally, I then trace it to a clean sheet & color/outline there.

Wow!  :wow That is the best drawing yet!  

The coloring is extremely well done and the outline work is nearly perfect from what I can see.  The rock that they are sitting on also looks very well done.  The coloring of Spike is much better this time and I am glad to hear that you found some new pencils with more available colors.

Keep up the good work.  :)

Well, my "sketches" are usually already cleaned up and outlined when I scan them. I would need a whole lot more attempts to get lines right if I weren't using screenshots though (that's something I try to do less in the future :angel). I don't use much pressure at first so lines are easy to erase without staying visible to some extend. I erase lines that don't seem right right away, usually. As soon as I have finished the basic lineart, I do small corrections if they are necessary and go over the lines again with a little more pressure so they are more visible (sometimes using a "softer" pencil since they're usually darker (depends on what pencil I've been using for the sketch... either a hard or a really hard one) --> better visible). I used to do the final outlines with a pencil that was "too" soft so it was smeared when I coloured the pics. Therefore, I do the final outlining after the colouring now (using the soft one). Everything that's supposed to be black I colour with the softest pencil I have btw (e.g. eyes, eyelashes etc).
Of course, I do edit the scans a little to enhance the quality and just make it look nicer. I usually make them a little darker so the lines are really dark and clear, I increase the contrast slightly (though sometimes it looks better if I slightly decrease it...) and, most importantly, I make everything sharper ^^ The coloured versions are usually treated similar, only that I usually increase the saturation somewhat to make the colours a little brighter (but only a tad ;))
I edit my scans on photobucket where I also host the pictures I upload here (since the site doesn't allow direct uploads).
Hope that clears it up a little ;) 1-2 hours of work are about how much time I need for the sketches as well, depends on the number and complexity of the characters of course...

Thanks for the praise :angel I'm very happy that you think so. I was a little concerned about the rocks but then I decided to use my pencils here rather than the brown in the original screenshot. Shading is something I have yet to get the hang of but I'm working on that :yes Did an attempt on shading the colours last week and the result was good enough to keep (and upload it eventually ^^)

Hope you like it! ^^

This is fairly good. I myself find Littlefoot tricky to draw. What scene from witch film is this based off?
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on August 24, 2014, 08:27:04 PM
Thanks! :)

Yes, Littlefoot is very tricky to draw. This is based off a scene at the end of LBT 2 just before they sing Peaceful Valley (Reprise). To be honest, the original shot has a second character. I did draw him/her but on a separate piece of paper. It's gonna come soon, there will be one, maybe two pics that I made a little earlier so I'm gonna put these up first ;)

Since my first version of this drawing (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=11596&view=findpost&p=22026399) wasn't that good (and poorly edited :bang) I decided to draw this again. In the future, I'll do a few of these but only one is sketched out yet so... might take me a while until the next one will be uploaded ;)

Post by: Ducky123 on September 02, 2014, 08:48:08 AM
Thank you very much for your kind words of encouragement :) I'm currently working on a very tricky picture. The lineart needs to be very close to the original in order to look alright... and after two attempts, I have not yet managed to do that...  <_<

This is a work I'm particularly proud of even though it might not be the best of my works. I drew this for Pterano a while ago, when he was really down. By pure coincidence, the contest I was trying to do, had a theme about drawing things for somebody at the very same time so I could kill two flies at one hit as the saying goes :lol
Of course Pterano wasn't sick but the idea of Pterano (the LBT character) being sick and Petrie worrying about that appealed to me. The message is to keep fighting to get better and/or achieve what you want to :yes
This is the first LBT-related artwork that I created all by myself without using a reference (was only checking the anatomy here and there) which is the main reason why I'm particularly happy about it. I guess Flyers are the only species I can draw without references at this moment since an attempt to draw Ducky failed horribly :lol

Hope you guys like it! :yes

The next artwork will be an entry of said contest too (and LBT-related ^^) I only say: Remakes :smile

As soon as I saw this picture on the Caption This section, I knew that I must have missed one of your drawings. This is quite nice, Ducky. :)  Especially without a reference.  I can very easily see this picture being used as part of a 'Get Well Soon' card for any fan of the LBT flyers.

I still didn't dare to colour the treetrunk :p The two looked so good that I didn't want to ruin the drawing so I left it all white :angel As you can see, I kept the outlines very unobtrusive. In the next dozen of drawings or so I will apply different ways of outlining as well as colouring :yes

Hope ya like it! ^^

Nice redraw. Though forgive me for the nitpick, but I noticed Cera's eye lids are orange, when really there yellow like  the rings around her eyes. Also if you want better outlines. Do what I do and go over the drawing with a black pen before colouring it.

The way the outlines are in this drawing was my choice, actually. I didn't go over them again and I don't think it looks any worse then the drawings where I have defined the outlines a little stronger...

Well I was just giving a bit of tip and advice. Inking pics over helps me personally as it shows up on the scanner better and makes it easier to edit on Photoshop when I put them onto a background.
You just do the way you want to. Anyway as I said its a good redraw.

Very nice!  :) I totally understand your point about the log.  Especially if the focus in a drawing is on a few objects or characters in the foreground, then it can be wise to understate the other objects in the picture for the same of maintaining the viewer's focus on the desired focal point.

Actually... no. It's from LBT 2 :lol You remember the pic of Littlefoot laughing a few weeks ago? Well, this is taken from the same shot. I didn't draw them together because I wanted to have a full piece of paper for each character so I can draw more detailed :)

Post by: Ducky123 on October 05, 2014, 10:43:23 AM
I've done a comparison of two styles again :D It's wasn't my intention to do that originally but since I lost the first drawing somehow I sketched it again and then found the first version again... so yeah, I thought it's the best I could do with two similar sketches of the same thing :)

sketch 1 (my first take on it)
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/BrightDuckyoldsketch_zpsf087d418.jpg)
sketch 2 (the second take)
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/BrightDuckynewsketch_zps9e05d346.jpg)

I think already in the sketches there are quite a few things to point out. I think you can see the improvement in the second sketch. At least I do; starting with the use of pencil :p Feel free to point out more differences/things I could have done better.

coloured 1 (a new style plus I used my old colouring scheme of Ducky, coloured her yellow rather than very light green...)
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/ef1e31fa-1bc3-42af-97cb-2aefeb42c4d2_zps339b0f3f.jpg)
coloured 2 (old style)
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/043a5841-2f54-402f-b373-a8533a04cd7f_zpsd400bad8.jpg)

As you can see, I tried to give Ducky a little shading in the first picture. The editing reduced the effect of that a little but it should be well visible.
Again, feel free to tell me your opinion on the new style, utter critism if you have some to offer and I hope you like it! :yes

EDIT: The next pic will be not related to LBT in any way so keep an eye on my other art thread (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=13399) ;)

I must say that I prefer the second drawing as well.  The detail on the second one is better, in my opinion.  Although if you tried a lighter shading of yellow then the coloration of the first one would be quite good.

Aww poor little Ducky hurt her beak. Not too bad a redraw, though I can't help but notice one of her legs is too skinny, and she looks like she's been eating too many tree sweets.. If you know what I mean.

I think this is my first drawing of Ruby. It turned out rather nice imho :smile Wonder why she's so frightened? :p

Hope ya like it ^^

Well this is OK for your first drawing of Ruby. (I have only drawn her ones, well as a dinosaur that is) though I must say her arms look too skinny, and her eyes are the wrong colour.... And the crest on her head is supposed to be red...Not dark pink... Sorry if my critiasium sounds too harsh...
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: rhombus on November 11, 2014, 06:23:08 PM
Awesome!  A drawing of my favorite character.  :DD

This is pretty good for a first attempt at drawing a new character.  The only things that I would reiterate are some of the comments made by Dalekdino in that the crest and feather color should be a shade of red or reddish-pink as opposed to dark pink and that her arms should be a bit wider.  But other than that the body proportions, facial expression, and posture are all very good.

Keep up the good work!  :)

Alright guys, thanks for the critism (no worries there, dalekdino :lol). :) I will see to it that I won't do these mistakes in my next drawing of Ruby... though I've already finished one which features her. Hmm, might have done these things wrong there as well. The mentioned drawing should be uploaded soon anyway and more drawings of Ruby are at least planned :DD

It was a chilly day at the beach with almost no sun and lots of wind and I was bored so I decided to act like an adult and build something out of sand  :angel The outcome is this (sadly unfinished) little Longneck  :lol
Hope you find this as hillarious as I do! :smile

PS: Provided there's going to be a winter season to begin with (unlike last year  :rolleyes ), I might build some snow dinos  :idea

First off, I have no idea what that black thing on Ruby's neck is. Must be the scanner's fault... Wonder what made the Gang so disgusted... and where's Ducky anyway? :DD

Hope you like it! ^^

Well good to see your art again. Ok I'm happy you made Chomper blue and gave him 2 fingers on each hand (like I do when I draw him)... But I have to say you got the colour Ruby's head crest wrong again. It's red not dark pink... If you pardon the nit pick...  :unsure:

And look on Littlefoot's face!  :lol
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: rhombus on December 14, 2014, 12:42:51 PM
Very nice.  :yes It is a shame that Ruby has the mole on her neck though.   :p As for why the gang is disgusted at Chomper and the disappearance of Ducky, I fear that those two things might be related.  :lol

Yes, I am aware of Ruby's colours being not correct already but I finished this before you pointed it out in my last drawing of Ruby... I'll colour her correctly next time, yep, yep, yep ;)

A drawing of the Gang of Five who are sort of serious here. If you know where this scene is from, you'll know why ;) Ducky looks sort of funny because she's so bloody small so there are few details :p

Oh great you did a one from my favourite sequel:) (LBT 4)  I know which scene it is. It's from near the end were they see Ali off.

Yes I know what you mean, I struggle with Ducky and Petrie too when I used group shots as references.

Somebody asked me to draw a picture of Cera and Ducky (some months ago? :angel) and this was the cutest scene I could find   :smile I'm not sure why but the scan is particularly poor :( Hope I get access to a better one soon in which case I'd scan the coloured version again as well as some of my previous works.

Might be from the first movie.  I can recall Ducky lying up against Cera then.  The only other movie I can think of where it could be is movie 5 and maybe movies 9, 10, and 13 (though I can't recall if they slept in that one out there or just kept going all night with the Yellow Bellies.)  The other times, they would have been awake all night or with their families.  Unless it's in the TV Series, though I can't think of a time where they would be in such a situation either.)

Ahh, gotta love having time for drawing again  :exactly

I'll just throw in two more of these memes (big thanks to RockingScorpion for helping me with the digital stuff  :angel ) since I still have one or two sketches to colour before I'm going to scan them all.

Add 6 months to that  :bang

Well, there have been a lot of things keeping me from both creating and uploading artwork but the most prominent was not having access to a scanner anymore. I have now improvised by using the phone of my sister (even my camera makes pictures so bad i can't use them...) which is acceptable but far from the quality of a good old scan...

Anyway, rant over :p I think updates will be somewhat regular now since a lot of stuff has accumulated which I'm slowly going to post every now and then. Not everything is LBT-related though so also keep an eye on my non-LBT art thread (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=13399&hl=)

Note, that I had to do a bit more digital editing than usual, especially on the sketch...

This is not my original idea but a traditional recreation of a  digital painting (http://sapphirre98.deviantart.com/art/What-is-wrong-Petrie-497740547) made by sapphirre98 (http://sapphirre98.deviantart.com/). Credit goes to the original artist ;)

I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out after lots of frustration  :lol Hope you like it!

I'm really happy with the lineart here. I totally caught the right expressions I think, or didn't I? :p I'm also really happy with the new coloured pencils I was using for Spike (however, the lack of a really good scanner (I'm using my Samsung Galaxy 4 Mini to take pictures of my art currently <_< ) kinda screwed that up in the final result :p Apparently, I just used too much colour  :blink: Looks perfectly fine on paper though...)

So... what do you think? :p


Oh... and does anybody know what scene this is?  :lol

That's pretty darn impressive. Certainly better than anything I could ever do. I'm rubbish at drawing quadrupedal characters, so drawing alot of these characters would be way too frustrating for me. You did good though. ^^ No idea about the scene but I haven't seen the movies in years and I haven't seen ALL of them so yeah.

Very nice! :) This is one of my favorite scenes in the later films due to the hilarious facial expressions.  Is this by any chance the scene in LBT XII where Petrie mentions that he is good flying by himself, but not so good with family?  Afterwards, Cera's says "Join the club" and the rest of the gang make these expressions.

Thanks, I haven't seen LBT 12 in quite a while but I think it was that scene you mentioned :p

I'll have a new artwork up in probably a little more than an hour. Will be a multiple pictures upload and I'd like all of them to look pretty so... depends on how big of a jerk photobucket is going to be (it already didn't show me the progress while I was enhancing sharpness and ended up with a way too sharp picture of my lineart (EDIT: here it is :D (http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/73b022ed-2549-42f1-9017-27cfc7f5f290_zps58n7aqlh.jpg)) so I had to redo all the edits :p). Stay tuned, I guess ^^spike

Post by: Ducky123 on August 13, 2016, 07:06:23 PM
Without further ado, here's my newest artwork aka. one of at least half a dozen that are still lying around in my desk waiting to be shown to the world ^^

lineart:
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/1205b5c4-cb35-4ca5-b9e7-a984edcc71ad_zpslfwlrdwj.jpg)

coloured:
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/7e52f12d-ae3e-402f-81e8-c5dedfbfc9ff_zpsd9tflpkd.jpg)

and since the picture is suffering from the rather small quality, I took shots of every single character for a close-range shot with better quality... tried to be as accurate as I could with the digital enhancements but still every character loooks a tad different, mostly because some characters can take a little more saturation, contrast etc. than others and still look good to me ^^

Littlefoot:
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/7ed8f6ab-477c-42d7-b0b6-3ba570aafc7e_zpsnphr8pew.jpg)

Cera:
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/8bd38f7f-d888-4579-ad57-f84e4cc94a8a_zpsq4v3gsff.jpg)

Ducky:
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/67237e7e-a83a-4e5b-a0e2-626045db0c57_zpsjvxh9lqi.jpg)

Petrie:
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/bc583937-4a8e-4346-8e4a-e2ed274664a7_zps3pawm02b.jpg)

Spike:
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/ff26184c-ac0a-46d8-803e-108edf6603d1_zpsq9rtkfat.jpg)

Chomper:
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/d3fd1bb9-14b9-44de-a378-f0c3cef04852_zpsiwpwauxa.jpg)

Ruby:
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/d5f14651-11b8-470a-8a73-38d9fac873f5_zpsq72xexlo.jpg)

This one was fun to do. The first attempt quickly turned out to be too big (Cera in particular) so I just tried again after taking a few days off from this and then I got everything quite on spot. The only problem I had was getting Ducky, Petrie and Chomper right. I'm quite happy about the final result, the colouring also turned out to be really satisfying (I mostly used new coloured pencils which have a much better quality than my old ones). The occasional white spots can't really be avoided (I think I might be able to blame this on the structure of the paper but not sure about that one :p) but I'm still happy with it.
The digital editing with photobucket was also fun, only took like... 90 minutes? ^^

Anyway, I hope you like my new artwork, tell me what you think, please :) Also, there'll be a surprise VERY soon, keep your eyes on the fanart & fanfiction area of the GOF :yes

Next one, the first ever scene from the original movie that I referenced here I think :)

sketch:

Well, this one was definitely tough! :lol

The real problem for me was to work with a screenshot that was really blurry so I kinda had to guess a few features of both characters which I'm not so good at yet :p Turned out alright after a few attempts at the lineart though there's room for improvement I think ^^spike

Hope you like it, I'll try to push out more uploads this week, still got some stuff in store :)

Thanks ;)

I'll probably have the next one up tomorrow that's kind of related to my last upload... I've actually spent three hours just on the sketch today - it's even harder than Littlefoot and Petrie  :lol
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on August 30, 2016, 06:21:29 PM
So here it is, didn't realise the photo I took of the picture before going home for the weekend was too blurry to be of much use so that's the reason for the delay and also the reason for the double-upload :p
First one:

sketch:
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/c226a54a-8c54-4212-97ef-977cd5ec5d70_zpsz9ngx0oi.jpg)

coloured:
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/033ec411-f79b-43f4-bf13-ea9eddfeeae6_zpsbyqqqqyp.jpg)

Well, I have a lot to say about this one because it was an experience in many ways, both positive and negative :lol
Well, obviously, this is the counterpart to my previous drawing of Littlefoot and Petrie with the treestar. When I first started sketching this, I soon realised it would be harder than most of my drawings so far (also true for the previous drawing). The reason for that? Well, look at the scene yourself and then look how small and blurry they look on the screen :p Basically, I've been forced to draw from memory, more or less (I suck at that :angel), particularly in this drawing here because half of Ducky's features were simply not recognisable on the screenshot - most prominently, her head. I spent like... 3 hours on the sketch (I had some lineart of the scene done a long time ago, actually, but I found it looked too crappy) so I decided to try it again and it worked after lots of frustration! ^^spike Made this from scratch within two days...
Now there are still several (mostly small) issue I'm still seeing in this drawing but it would have been a lot of work to fix them, or maybe I would have made it worse instead of the decent version I already had :p I really didn't know how to draw her hands so I kind of referenced mine and the result is... upgradeable :lol
Anyway, I really don't know how I achieved this but the colours look amazing after digital editing :blink:

I hope you like it and feel free to point out any anatomy mistakes I made there :p

Now the one I actually wanted to upload today...

sketch:
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/b8179b27-84a1-48f2-9f70-ea4e6d6064e8_zps8rz5pqq6.jpg)

coloured:
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/e9897387-083d-4cf8-b971-b987a895ff51_zpss4xb03nh.jpg)
Well, this one wasn't too hard to do. But it was fun and I'm happy with the result. Hope you like this one too ;)

PS: In case you're wondering why I'm pushing out so many drawings lately, that's because I had a lot of stuff unfinished or just nor uploaded yet but I really wanna post all of that before my LBT contest (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=15175) starts because I'll also try to come up with something and I'd like to post things in the order I made them... or finished them at least :p

Anyway, here we go...

And the other one...

(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/4462bb04-5be1-46b2-b69d-574fd1a0d628_zpsrgzzzycf.jpg)

Boy I wish I had a scanner sometimes... the digital editing enhances the artwork on the one hand but also changes things in a way that is not so much favourable sometimes as you can see here...

I made both of these on one piece of paper so they're actually rather small. Maybe that's why the editing didn't work the way it usually does  :confused

Okay, so first about the Ducky one:
This was actually just a small study of Ducky from a different perspective that turned out good enough to be coloured and uploaded ^^spike It's a shame the colour is so pixelised there, it looks so good on paper actually but... yeah  :rolleyes

As for Ruby, same thing except it was not a study. The purple-ish colour of her crest-thingy and the darker coloured spots got turned into red here  :rolleyes Well, at least I got the lineart to look really amazing ^^spike

I'm really considering buying a scanner now, wonder if I can find a decent one for a low price?  :angel

I'll probably upload something non-LBT next week + a coloured version of a LBT request/collab I did ages ago and finally decided to colour it anyway  ^^spike

Thank you, Kor :) Digital colouring is something I would love to do one day (since it's quicker and allows for many additional options I simply do not have with coloured pencils, even if they're really good.) However, it would take me quite a while to get used to using and working with such digital programs (not to mention that the really good ones aren't free either) so yeah... without a good tutorial, that's not likely to happen too soon but who knows what'll happen in the future :)

Hehe, yeah I was surprised I got her to look so angry  :lol I was using some screenshot I found in the caption this a while ago as a reference (it had more characters on it but I only picked Ruby and Ducky from this one)

I would have to look at this particular episode to tell if you're right. Like I told Coyote, it was a screenshot I found in the caption this forums. I keep a pile of good reference pictures as inspirations for future fanarts though I'm trying to memorise how to draw the characters from different angles lately... with mixed results  :bang  :lol

Post by: Ducky123 on September 22, 2016, 09:02:39 PM
... and today I managed to draw something completely original, mostly out of my head. I won't upload it here yet since it's a contest entry for my own contest and it's not finished so look there :p

But I still have something to show you. A request I got a long time ago... ;)

sketch (no signature there because it was meant to be an avatar for somebody):
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/c90ef876-b98a-4b70-87aa-1df86ba7ba49_zpsnrwkzs4h.jpg)
Love to make things sharper, makes the lineart look so much cooler, doesn't it? :p

coloured:
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/3f84a46c-455a-4af1-8cbc-48e2cc6a0c15_zpswy8hhkv1.jpg)
This was a request of vonboy as an avatar for his Youtube Channel. RockingScorpion coloured my lineart digitally but I found this in my desk and decided to colour it :p

Other than the anatomy not being perfect here and there and the slightly inconsistent colouring on his belly and tail (trust me, it's hard to make very light colours with pencils that make a very intense colours  :angel ), I'm quite happy with it :) Though next time I use very soft pencils to create an almost black colour, I'll use a sheet of paper to shield my hand. It smeared the back all over the place :angel
So what do you think?

Oh, and signature is missing here too... wonder why I didn't include it like I usually do?  :crazy

Anyway, I've got a few really cool and funny pictures coming soon, can't wait to colour them because they'll be quite funny :D Stay tuned!

There was a bit of a fanart hiatus lately, mostly due to both exams to take care of + being in a gaming mood quite often. Nevertheless, I was occasionally drawing stuff. Mostly stuff that was a little more difficult than what I usually do (Trying to draw original LBT fanart ^^) therefore the lack of results to show. I've got a few more artworks coming these next weeks.

Well, this one should look familiar ;)

sketch:
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/e6f4b677-6319-4d76-8c9b-ccf2d87e88e2_zps5xcksgvo.jpg)

Except for the fact that I totally butchered one of Littlefoot's eyes (forgot the ring around his eyes in the lineart, added it eventually but that made the eye look too big  :bang ) I'm really happy with the outcome of this :smile

This is actually a scanned picture for a change. I have scanned a few of my recent works. I will have to do some testing with these scans to determine whether they are better than the photos that I was using before. If they are, I will reupload all of my works in better quality from time to time :)

Well, I hope you like the picture and stay tuned! The next two will be LBT 1 works! ;) (I might still upload some non-LBT stuff inbetween. There are quite a few cool contests running on DeviantArt these days ;))

Fair enough, I admit I would prefer to colour him in his actual colour but this is VERY hard to achieve with coloured pencils... I don't have any that has Littlefoot's colour and mixing colours with pencils is working poorly (trust me, I've tried :p). I hope you can still look at the artwork and like it (if not, just admire the lineart ^^spike)

New drawing guys ^^

I'm sure you all recognise the scene ;) Ducky, Petrie and Spike are watching the fight between Cera and Littlefoot in horror.

I'm very happy with the drawing in fact. The lineart turned out better than I thought and the colouring (it took ages...) turned out great. The scanned pictures can be enhanced digitally very well, making the colours look even more vibrant :)

I also like how the rocks turned out. I kept them very simple but I think the impression of lighting kind of worked there... maybe I'll practise drawing rocks one day so I can give them even more detail ^^spike

The careful observer will probably notice two things that are slight... odd.
1.) for some odd reason, some other lineart is (weakly) visible in the background of the drawing   :blink:
2.) Spike's colouring scheme is a bit different :p (this wasn't really intended either but I was testing a different shade of green on Spike (I liked the other one better tbh) and then realised that I didn't have any other (darker and fitting) shade of green to use for his spikes etc. (I usually used the green pencil I used for his body this time) so I had to improvise... I thought red looks pretty cool  :smile )

Fun fact: I coloured most of this while playing Civilisation 4  :DD One of the downsights of playing very big maps is turns taking ages to load... so coloured Spike inbetween my turns (which was admittedly a pretty boring thing to do :p) I might do this kind of thing too if I ever get into such a game of Civ again... I'm lazy colouring stuff anyway since doing the lineart is ten times more fun (and challenging)

I hope you like the drawing and stay tuned for moar!  :lol:

when I saw that screenshot of the scene, I just HAD to draw it because of the funny faces ^^spike

the next drawing will go in that direction too by the way ;)

Thanks! The colouring took very long since Spike is... huge in this drawing. I didn't want to rush things though :)

Well, it is indeed... we don't even see much of the actual fight in the movie, just bits and pieces.


EDIT:

Would anybody be interested in me posting sketches, failed drawings and WIPs (Work-in-progress)? I've accumulated quite a but of these sketches and drawings which simply didn't work out. If there is interest, I would post these in a separate art topic :)

Alright, after a few days of hard procrastination, I'll finally post this... I hope you'll be as surprised as I was when I saw the final result  :lol

lineart:
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/591cf366-b244-46ad-8e49-c2eef31fc74a_zpsnaxt3urq.jpg)

coloured:

So... surprised yet?  :wow

For some reason, I felt like trying out digital media for a change and this is the result ^^spike

The hardest part was the lineart since... well, drawing straight lines is almost impossible with a mouse/touchpad (I tried both). Luckily, I had a tool that sort of "auto-corrected" my lines... however, often not in the way that I intended to so, in the end, I had to try until it made the lines look like I wanted them  :rolleyes

I was a bit stupid because I actually tried painting this by hand until I eventually realised there's a tool that colours everything in 2 minutes  :bang Well, I shall remember it in case I do more digital recreations of my old works in the future  :p

Hope you like this :)

Program used: Krita

I have to be honest the digitally drawn Ducky looks rather crude....

Also sorry fir nit giving feed back on your last art. One reason I felt a bit put off from it as it's from one of my least favourite parts of the 1st movie.. When Littlefoot and Cera have that infamous scrap.

It's okay to be honest sometimes even if the truth hurts. It was my first try at digital drawing, therefore the lineart is far from perfect. I'll admit that and try to do better next time, yep, yep, yep!

Just out of curiousity (or maybe I just don't remember you mentioning it before): Why is that scene so bad in your opinion? Just because Cera was being a bitch in that scene for calling out Littlefoot's mother like that? I could understand that line of reasoning certainly. Personally, I think it's quite a good scene. Pretty vicious fight, raw emotions and a big drama. It adds quite a bit to the later parts.

So anyway, I guess you only don't like the drawing because of the scene it is about? I'd be fine with that, yep, yep, yep.

Indeed, my first work using a computer program rather than good old pencils and paper :) I will try to do better next time.

Well I have said why I don't like it before in the past. Mind you that was a long time ago. And I don't think I really want to share why I don't like that scene here in public. Because in the past when I share my thoughts on something I don't like I tend to get funny looks from others. And things turn bitter.

But just because it's based on a scene I don't like doesn't mean I think it's a bad drawing . You drew it well

It's okay, I understand. Was just wondering if it's the drawing itself or just the fact that it's based off a scene that you don't like why you disliked the drawing. You've cleared that up now, thanks :)

I've started a new drawing yesterday and, thanks to RockingScorpion, I can now use a much better way to create the lineart. As for colouring, I will try to improve the colours. I will probably update the previous drawing too once I've figured out a better colouring scheme for Ducky :yes

Well, at least I made a background lol  :lol Just don't try to look at it with perspective since I kinda messed that part up but, hey, it has a background :p

I think this is easily one of the sweetest scenes of the first movie, I just HAD to draw it!

As always, I hope you like it (and don't care about the kind of rushed background ^^spike). I'll scan this asap, lighting wasn't good when I took this photo (very foggy weather today...)

Yeah, I do agree that one can interpret that scene... in a way not quite appropriate for young children but that was probably not intended by the filmmakers...

Actually, that isn't a colour issue. If you look at the scene, which I referenced while drawing this, you see that Ducky's eyes are partly closed. Those are her eye-lids covering part of her eyes ^^spike If that weren't the case here, you'd be right of course. Maybe I should have left some of the white of the eye to make it more clear oh well...

Huge thanks for dalekdino for requesting this one over a year ago, I didn't forget about it (just had too many other fanart ideas and not enough time, sorry :() and it was a lot of fun drawing it. Ducky's and Spike's expressions are really interesting in this one and the colour turned out to look quite nice with a little less contrast than I usually use for my drawings when I edit them on photobucket.

Yes I even thought it was a fart joke as a kid.. In fact that's just one of quite a few scenes in the first movie I find awaked and can be misinterpreted if you pause at the right moment..

I ad a feeling it maybe because Ducky had her eyes half closed in that frame. But yeah if it were me I'd have  added some white to her eyes.

Ah I'd actually forgotten about that request I made over a year ago.
May I ask why your thanking me though it though?

Anyway you did a good job on this and good that you added the shading on her toe claws. And you did a good job on drawing her toes as though she's wiggling them. Or tootsies as I offend see Ducky referring them too

I agree that this picture is a clear improvement from some of your earlier work. The lines are much clearer and the colors look smoother now.

What is wrong with Spike's back? I used a screenshot as a reference (almost referenced it a bit too literally imo :lol) so that would mean the perspective in the movie (LBT 10 if I'm not mistaken...) would be wrong too...  :lol:

Ah I remember now. Yes it as. Drawing of Littlefoot and Ali along with Cera and my OC Bambo under misaltoe.

Yes as I've stated on Caption this, I see Ducky using cute childish terms for toes like tootsies.
Yeah I've always kinda found girls wiggling their toes cute. Ducky in that scene the art is based off , even looks like she's reanacting the toe wiggling scene from the little mermaid.
You may remember I did a human version of this cute Ducky scene about a year ago.

Well it might be just me but does it look like Spike's back goes rises slightly too steeply behind Ducky's head? What I mean is that Spike's back doesn't seem to go down towards his unseen side as much as it would need to. Could be just me though. In any case, it's nothing serious.

Ah okay, I see :)

The perspective of the screenshot I based this off is as if the viewer is looking at the two from a point slightly higher than these two are so a little bit of the back is visible. If we were looking at them on eye level, you would be right about that I think :p If I had drawn the background too (I was too lazy after already struggling to get the previous drawing done without seriously rushing it), that might be more clear (imagine that all of the white space behind Spike's snout is coloured blue (there's water) and everything else green (grass). If you look really closely, you can even still see where I had drawn a line to separate the two but erased it later upon deciding against a bg :smile

Oh, and guess what? This one is scanned!  :wow I've actually scanned most of my work last week so I'm slowly going to update the old pictures I've posted here (or would you rather like me to post them again? :))

While I've been lazy uploading, a lot of sketches have accumulated again just waiting to be coloured and uploaded I guess :p I guess this counts as a sort of announcement buuuut... there's going to be a fanart series soon... stay tuned ;)

Hmm, you never know, The Wasp! She's somehow scary when she is angry for some unknown reason.

Maybe her eyes are the answer? To me, that could be right! After all, there's her cute face, where her eyes are so cute you can never say no, then there's her angry face that somehow makes us afraid of her! Maybe that's the reason!

This little swimmer sure has some mystical powers alright!

Thanks :)

The shot is from LBT 8. I'm not 100% sure but I think it's the scene at the beginning where she is glaring at Spike for eating her treestars.

I've tried before but most of the results weren't too good yet :p If you have any requests, let me know and I can try my best :) Though the results probably won't look as accurate as angry Ducky here :p

The picture is quite nice as Ducky's expression communicates quite a lot about her feelings and the picture works quite well overall.  :lol I agree that pictures about fanfics are very cool as they seem to give the stories even more "power" (I don't know if that's the correct word but anyway).

I'm not feeling like drawing a lot lately but I have a few works that I actually finished a while ago. Here's one, it's actually part of a series that I planned doing.

sketch:

coloured:
(https://s20.postimg.org/qtzqq0r65/135_Dear_Sweet_Littlefoot..._coloured.jpg)
Admittedly, this drawing doesn't give this powerful scene any justice. I didn't have any good grey coloured pencils so, basically, I shaded this using regular pencils that I also use for the lineart... colouring has been the main reason why I'm not feeling like working on my art lately though I'm also struggling with motivation in general. Hope it's a passing thing.
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Sneak on May 06, 2017, 02:43:06 PM
Yeah, this scene is so powerful, so I wanted to see huge pain in Littlefoot's appearance here. Here he looks like he doesn't like something. sorry
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: ADFan185 on May 06, 2017, 02:52:40 PM
Wow very awesome and very good. That part always gets me teary eyed when I see it. You did a amazing job drawing this awesome touching sense.
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Sovereign on May 07, 2017, 10:10:13 AM
Well, the picture's drawn quite well and there's no major problems with it. Overall, the anatomy works (except for that Littlefoot's neck is too thin) but especially his expression would have to be more powerful. Even then, scenes like these have to be drawn excellently in order to give them justice. Still, good job. I really hope that you'll overcome the problems with your motivation  :)
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: CybertronianBrony on May 09, 2017, 08:11:34 PM
Another beautiful picture, Ducky123! But also upsetting too, hence the scene.

That Sharptooth will pay for his sins!
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on May 11, 2017, 05:34:36 PM
That's what you get for not having the guts to draw more freely. This is pretty much how Littlefoot looks in the screenshot that I picked. I'm no master at emotions at all, at least not when it comes to drawing. I take the constructive feedback as a motivation to look for guides who tell me just how to do that :lol

Also, glad you still liked the outcome a little. It's the most important after all for both artist and those who watch the final result, isn't it?  :smile

I can't seem to achieve a good picture quality these days... been keeping me from uploading the next traditional drawings but there's nothing I can do about it unless I either buy myself a better camera or a scanner :/

Anyway, here you go with the continuation of what is intended to be a series of sorts...

sketch:

First we had Littlefoot's sad moment when he lost his beloved mother, now here's Cera during one of her less glorious moments, shall we say? :smile

Hope you like it and I think you can already guess what's coming next ^^spike

Nice job here! I like the colors and Cera's embarrassment has been captured rather well. Her front leg seems somewhat weird but otherwise, I really like this drawing. The overall look of the picture makes justice to the scene and the details are done quite well. :) As for your next drawing, could it be Ducky's reaction to Petrie's expected death?

paradox is - being Cera's disliker, with years, I started to like Cera's character.

as I said not so long before: I understand she was grown with theehorns (she is threehorn, lol), and with awful father. But still, it doesn't mean we must close eyes on her bad (in first movie - veeeeeeeeeery bad) deeds. It would be not right.
The point is - she is NOT misunderstood AT ALL. It's all clear. Cera's kinda open character. And her sharp tongue is still sharp, no matter how many movies have passed. :D

Hmm, I've also switched my editing program. Need to work on these again tomorrow, the white space was not intended :p

EDIT: There you go!

So, I guess, by now, it's pretty clear what my "series" is about. I'll draw a couple of sad scenes of different characters (though I'm also drawing other things inbetween) to practise emotions. I started with sadness  ^^spike

I really like how this here turned out btw. Got two more of these done and a couple of more or less finished sketches that need some more work (those with a planned background might take me longer to complete if I manage to succeed at it at all)

You did a great job with the expression!  :) The overall feel with the picture suits the scene very well and Ducky seems genuinely sad. However, it kinda looks like she has no neck here which somewhat distracted me at first. Still, this is one of your best pictures in establishing the emotion and feeling in a picture. Also, the coloring is pretty good and smooth too. Well done with this picture!  :yes

Thank you very much! :)

As for the neck, note that Ducky's head is hanging very mow here so the neck is blocked from view :) And of course I only made this a half-body drawing because 1.) the body was irrelevant for this drawing and 2. I still had plenty of space above the Cera drawing so I just drew Ducky on the same paper (same as Petrie, actually :p)

Looks even better in original btw, this photo, despite post-production, just doesn't give the original justice as it is with many of my drawings :p
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Flathead770 on July 04, 2017, 06:18:58 PM
Nicely done! Drawing the eyes correctly I feel are the most important for conveying emotion and you did a great job with Ducky's here. I feel like her left shoulder is drawn a little too far away from the base of the neck, though it could be just angle the perspective is drawn at makes it look like that to me.
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on July 04, 2017, 06:48:13 PM
Thanks! :D

Yeah, the eyes are a big key for emotions. Very big key. :yes

Her left shoulder is actually left of the picture aka. not on the picture. At least I think so. The green part should be part of Ducky's side (the area between belly and back uhh I guess :p) which is green in Ducky's case. Yeah, the perspective is a bit odd in this one, couldn't have drawn that without the reference picture...

I don't know why I didn't think to just look at your deviantart page to see your most recent drawing of Cera. Anyways you did a great job drawing her! I personally find Cera the hardest to draw out the the main gang, mainly because of her head and frills.

PS: I will be updating one of my old artworks each Thursday (or Friday if I forget to :p). That means, I'll be fixing the old picture links with the pictures as I shared them back them but post an updated (and, for the most part, scanned!) version of them! I think many of you weren't around when I started uploading my art...

[old version (https://s20.postimg.org/6243qy2dp/2_Ducky_is_asking_for_something_coloured.jpg)]
I'm amazed what a good quality scan and some better editing skills can do to a drawing   :wow The saturation was way too high (I didn't even raise it here because it's just ruining the colours, this is much more to how it looks IRL)! Some contrast and better lighting did the rest. (oh, and because I cut the edges off my signature is gone xD)

This was the first LBT themed drawing I ever did (and, pretty much, the first piece of art I made with the intention to show it online :p) and I didn't know anything about art stuff back then. These pencil strokes are so... cringe-worthy and the colouring poor but I still got the lineart pretty accurate I'd say.

Needless to say, this is still one of my favourites, it's the one that started it all  :angel

Post by: Flathead770 on July 28, 2017, 10:22:45 PM
I don't have too much to say about the Petrie drawing. It's a nice quick drawing that does a good job of showing his sadness.

I like the idea of re-showing off your old drawings. While I did skim through them awhile ago having them in the spotlight again will help to actually take some time to look at them. For your drawing of Ducky, apart from being quite literally rough around the edges it's actually quite good. Though the original image's quality wasn't the best but it seems to mask a lot of the blemishes as well. I also have to say that her pose is simply the best.

This was really just a lineart I didn't dare to colour at the time.

quick Throwback thingy today (well, it's Friday, 5:45 am but this still counts as a thursday, okay? ^^)
You keep saying Throwback thingy when I expect you to say Throwback Thursday. It's currently 11pm where I'm at so I'll count it. :lol

I like how Littlefoot was done in this picture. The lines are a little rough but the face and expression is well done. Cera's face is a little wonky but I've mentioned before that Cera's face is difficult to draw well and I would run into the same problems when I first tried drawing her as you have here. Despite your original doubts about the log I think it's not too bad. The outer edge is pretty good and I think it would just need some more shading in the middle parts.

Though it seems the more I want to learn, the harder it gets
That only makes sense though. Early mistakes are easy to correct and show improvement on while more advanced tricks take more time to get good at.

I agree with what Flathead said. The overall quality of the picture is quite low but the drawing itself is mostly well done. Littlefoot's expression is quite nice and looks genuine but Cera as a whole looks pretty odd. Not only is her face strange but the body as well. :huh: I don't know the problems with drawing her but Littlefoot looks much better here.  :)

Yes, I do mean the famous #TBT Throwback Thursday, I'm just skilled at doing it on Friday mornings because there were a lot of other things to take care of yesterday :D

Yeah, I don't think I got Cera 100% right there but Littlefoot seemed alright to me. As for the log, it is indeed some shading that would have greatly improved the drawing though shading is something I still don't really know how to do even today  :sducky

Yeah. You see, I just really lack some really basic art theory and it's neither fun nor easy to work o that. I want to finish more drawings but, at the same time, I need to study some stuff (like how to do shading or perspective etc.). It clashes a lot  :sducky

It's a good thing this is just an old drawing. Still great that you offer some constructive critism ^^spike As I said to Flathead, yeah, Cera seems a bit off. Got to check the original screenshot to see how much I got her wrong, hehe.

By the way, I'm not sure when I'll upload the next drawing. It is finished but it's the last one I have that is finished and I'm not sure when I'll get to colour the next ones because I'm still uncertain about a few of my next sketches  :unsure:

Would anybody mind if I posted them? Could really need some advice here and there, I guess  <_<

Cera might be one of the hardest characters to draw. Although, I like it; still, Littlefoot looks to be a bit easier to draw.

Upload the next drawing if you want; I don't mind; I would like to see what it looks like.

I made that sound easier than it actually can be. My only advice would be to try and find a scene from the later movies that have some shading on the characters and imitate that. By doing that you might get a better understanding of where shading might naturally occur. The only other thing I know is that you pick an angle that a light source may be coming from (though it doesn't have to be shown) and figure out where the light would be obstructed.

This kinda relates to what I was saying above. I would just look for examples that you would want to draw that has some of those things. That's how I practiced shading for my Spinosaurus.

Time for a new drawing as well as a double throwback friday morning because I skipped last week :lol

new drawing first, it is... who guessed it? Right, Spiky :p

Lineart

Coloured:
(https://s20.postimg.org/uvhvx1itp/144_Full_of_sorrow_coloured.jpg)
Poor Spike just can't be happy without Ducky. :(

This drawing is special in a way because I actually revisited my old style of doing the lineart (thicker lines but not pure black because I'm using a black coloured pencil as opposed to B pencils). I'm not sure why but I like it quite a bit :D Might do it more often but not sure yet...

I've also got to say I tried a different brand of pencils here and the dark green is just perfect for Spike! Finally I have a green that's got the right shade of green, allowing me to use the one I usually use for the darker parts now. That's certainly an improvement :yes

Hope you like the drawing ;)

*****

And now let's revisit two more of my old works ^^spike

(https://s20.postimg.org/n415yheod/5_Ducky_The_Most_Evil_Swimmer.jpg)

old version (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=11596&view=findpost&p=22026399) hard to believe it's the same drawing, huh?

Well, I think this drawing shaped me in a way. Using this as my avatar here for a long time, I got my nickname eventually. The most evil swimmer :p

old version (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=11596&view=findpost&p=22027648)
The editing was so poor on the old drawing :p Now with a better editing software and much more experience, I can do much better, yep, yep, yep!

I think I also recall colouring this while lying in my bed... what was I thinking?!  :crazy

Post by: Sovereign on August 20, 2017, 03:22:47 PM
That's actually a really nice picture! :)  Two things especially catch my eye: Spike's expression and the coloring. His expression looks really genuine and I quite like the limp look you did with his right eye (in the picture). Also, the coloring is done very well and it looks really smooth! Overall, good job with this picture! :DD Also, it's good to see those older pictures as there were a lot of things done right even back then. However, Ducky seems somewhat angular especially in the last one.  :p

Thanks :lol:

Just wish I could have scanned Spike, it looks better IRL but I think I got the best out of what I have :)

Yeah, these two older ones weren't perfect obviously :lol

Post by: Flathead770 on August 25, 2017, 07:38:47 PM
I like the style of using the black coloring pencil for the lineart. It looks good and stands out more with the picture fully colored. The one thing I noticed with Spike's expression is that he has a slight smile on the one side. It kinda gives him a sad but forced smile look (like when being tried to be cheered up) if you just look at the one side of his face, at least for me anyways. It's hard to notice when looking at his whole expression.

The two Ducky drawings are nice and you did a pretty good job at drawing her fists in the first one. They can be difficult to get right sometimes.

I actually like doing that myself, generally at night before going to bed.

Post by: Ducky123 on August 27, 2017, 11:01:05 AM
Thanks! :lol

Hmm, that smile certainly wasn't intended. This is just how the corner of his mouth was drawn in the scene in LBT 7 so I stuck with it  :unsure:

When colouring, I need to sit on my desk. My hand's not very steady when I draw on my bed (though it's not exactly steady there to begin with) :p

Aww, poor Spike needs a hug. I love the art piece you made of Spike! It looks absolutely flawless!

Also, I love those Ducky pictures high quality updates! It makes your art pieces shine brighter and stands out! Not to mention your art gets more better and more awesome as time passes! You keep on improving and your art is becoming more and more amazing! In other words, I like it!

Keep on being awesome, buddy!

Hello there, Ducky123. My name is Nicholas1998 on this site. Call me Nick. Are you Friends with Nahla from Australia?

I don not know if you take requests. Do you think you can ask Nahla's permission to make a prequel to Descendants of the Mountains?

The story just focuses on Littlefoot and his thoughts as an egg and as a hatchling and being raised by Jenna and Bron and His Grandparents.

I would love to ask Nahla again for My 20th birthday in 2018, But she is very busy.

I will reward you with helping you with the story's plot.

If you say yes, I will give you the plot. If you do not want to, that's okay.

I love to read your work.

You again? (sorry but it was kinda necessary)

I don't think she is even around much, let alone write stories for a fan. And we already know a Nick here, so Nicholas should stay.
And uh, reward? I'm not sure how you could reward Ducky...

Just because I don't post here doesn't mean I'm not drawing. I've been drawing a lot more than before to be perfectly honest, but almost no LBT stuff, haha. Well, now I finally have something to show off.  :smile

(https://s20.postimg.org/cq6z2ur4d/Ducky_Petrie.png)
So, I just got a graphic tablet for digital drawing for 80Ä and decided to test it! It took many miracles for this drawing to work out at all, and I'd like to give a big shout-out to Flathead, zero-point and DarkHououmon for providing the advice and encouragement to start this in the first place! You guys rock! :)littlefoot

This is my entry for the fanart prompt challenge by the way. It shows Ducky asking Petrie for a dance on ice and Petrie is a liiiiittle anxious about that (or just blushing because he has a crush? I'll leave that up to you to decide ;) )

Wintery-themed  ^^spike
done within the deadline  ^^spike

Well yeah, this isn't the strongest picture we've seen from you but it's still pretty nice with decent colors and a sweet idea. However, the points you mentioned were ... weak as are the faces. I don't know how to give you advice with this but I know you'll get better with digital drawing the more you do it. Still, it's nice to see more LBT stuff from you and I hope you're not giving up on it by a long shot! :)

I'm happy to see someone else join in on this prompt and I'm glad I was able to help you out with Ducky's face. It was good practice for myself as well :smile

Quote
or just blushing because he has a crush?
Wh-what!? Me have to hold her hands!?  :oops

I said before that I like Petrie's expression and overall Petrie is drawn pretty good. One thing is that his fur around his neck is drawn over his arm.

One thing for Ducky I want to mention is her lower part of her mouth. She has a darker red spot usually to show the back of the mouth but that wouldn't be visible since she is partially looking "into" the page. The tongue also seems to point almost "out" of the page and to the right as well as start in the middle of the mouth. To help get an idea of how it might look, if you can understand how her back crest is pointing, the tongue would be facing in the opposite direction.

It's a cool idea I'm impressed you managed to get it done in such a short time. I agree that it's nice to see more LBT artwork from you. Keep it up!

Thanks everyone :DD

Well, the main issue with the anatomy wasn't related to the fact that the drawing was made digitally. This is just what I can make a drawing look like when I'm not taking a screenshot to draw the exact same scene (which is what I used to do all the time. I might still do these from time to time but I'll try to get away from that :P)

In the next time, my non-LBT art topic is going to be much more active than this one here but I'll still drop in the occasional LBT drawing, maybe just some quick sketches too since I'm doing these more often recently :P
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on February 27, 2018, 05:35:39 PM
Well, art-wise I have been going through a bit of a hole lately, doodling the few things I can doodle from my memory quickly getting boring, while learning new things being too much of a chore for me lately.

Due to the fanart prompt challenge, I decided to undust my graphic tablet and draw something quick and dirty just so I have something to contribute at all. I regret not having more time to refine this, look at references etc. but, well, here it is. A digital sketch, 2 hrs, no reference used.

(https://s20.postimg.org/ekdpxlgzx/Rhett_LF_Shorty.jpg)

The prompt was to draw a scene from a possible future LBT sequel. I wanted to draw something quick and something that wasn't completely new so I decided to go for longnecks since I'm most familiar with them in front/side view perspective. And soon a story idea came so it'd fit the prompt as well.

First of all, here you see (from left to right) Rhett, Littlefoot and Shorty. The synopsis for the possible sequel I had in mind was that Ali somehow gets into grave danger (kidnapped? Because why not? :P ) and the three boys have to get their act together in order to save her in time. In this scene I wanted to show Rhett and Shorty yelling at Littlefoot (and at each other too :P) for screwing something up :P They're standing on a sort of cliff there btw.

I know this is terrible but feel free to be honest about everything I butchered there :DD Might try to revisit this sketch when I have some more time but for now this is my entry to the first prompt of 2018 for the fanart prompt challenge :sducky
Title: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Flathead770 on February 27, 2018, 11:39:16 PM
Well it's an interesting idea. I could see Shorty and Rhett at each other's throats with Littlefoot trying to get them all to work together.

I think if you want to have them arguing it would be good to have one of their mouths open like they're talking. Maybe give them angry eyes as well.

I like the fact that Littlefoot's head is lowered, he clearly doesn't like what he's hearing and/or regrets what happened.

I would comment more but I have my own prompt to finish :p

Post by: Sovereign on February 28, 2018, 10:22:10 AM
It's nice to see more art from you even if this one... isn't nearly your best. Your idea for a scene is a rather interesting one and the overall layout with the two arguing is, as Flathead said, rather well done. However, the drawing itself is overly simplified and I wouldn't really recognize the three based on these sketches. In this art style, Rhett and Littlefoot are good enough I guess but something odd is going on with Shorty's legs, body shape and face. Aside from that, I don't have that much to say about this one, unfortunately. It is a nice idea and as a sketch it's decent but the simplified style isn't the most impressive I've seen.

Yes totally :D

Yeah, I kinda failed to give Shorty angry eyes. I think it kinda worked on Rhett though. Rhett just kind looks angry while Shorty is intended to scream/yell something at either Rhett/Littlefoot or both :P I will need to draw this on a bigger scale so I can go more in depth with details :yes You can still consider this a WIP btw, as I said I don't intend on this abomination to be the final result  :oops

Quote

Yeah, I really felt like trying this pose on him, expressing submission as well as sadness. I do not believe it is anatomically correct the way it is but surely I'll find something to reference that in the future.

Quote

Yes yes I know :lol It's ok to be honest, I haven't really done many LBT related drawings in a while + never colour my sketches/linearts recently. That is until I feel I have learned enough art-wise to have time to spare for finishing and showing off my work :P Consider this a WIP for now  :sducky

Yep, they are not really individually recognizable at this stage, hence I mentioned who is who  :oops Glad you liked the idea behind it though, it is one of these random ideas I sometimes get which, if I had the time, could very well be planned out more and turned into a story.  :exactly

Thanks for the honest feedback, if you have any further suggestions, especially concerning longneck anatomy, I'd be very grateful, yep, yep, yep! As I mentioned, I will try to redraw this on a larger scale so I can work on details and refine the sketchy lineart and anatomy of these guys  :confused

Ah, nice! You're getting a lot better at drawing without a reference! While it's certainly a little rough, it's still in the sketch stage, so that's understandable :D And I still owe you that tutorial on using references, I haven't forgotten!
This is a really fun scene, I never would have thought of these three working together :lol
Title: Re: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Ducky123 on July 15, 2018, 10:36:14 PM
ok guys, this is sort of a milestone I think. Maybe  :p

So, this is an entry to the fanart prompt challenge. The prompt was to draw an OC  :Mo I'm not known to create many OCs in my stories but they usually play a bigger role if I do. I had two big choices here and after the initial sketching stage it became clear very soon that Cho would win.

But first, let me see if I can figure out how to make a direct upload here, shall we? I've yet to test it haha

(https://i.imgur.com/Z8FYfy3.jpg)

(oh boy, even after resizing the quality isn't the greatest... gotta beg my sis to give me her phone to take a better pic or smth)

Okay, I hope you have some time because a special drawing like this one comes with a story to tell.

So, this is actually like... the 3rd or 4th attempt of mine to draw this very scene. It seems my skills and endurance were finally large enough for me to succeed! I've tried so many different poses and perspectives... but more later!

What does it show? Yeah, maybe I should get started writing about the drawing itself before we get to the creation process. So... seen here are Shorty and Cho. Cho who? To those unaware, Cho is my OC. She is a major character in my story Shorty's Dark Past (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=12779.0) (which btw is in the process of being written almost completely from scratch so keep your eyes out  :Mo). Cho is one of the little longnecks that Shorty was mysteriously seen leading during Bron's infamous flashback in LBT 10. There's quite a story around how all of that came to be (in other words, read the story  :add :SmugSpike) but, anyways, Cho is a rather shy and reclusive character who can appear a little odd and weird at times. Her appearance is, as seen, pretty much... black. She is mockingly nicknamed "Shadow" for her rather dark and dull appearance which also translates to her being rather ugly.

If you think Shorty was being mean towards Littlefoot, then maybe reconsider that. Shorty was generally described as a bit of a bully in LBT 10 and I build his character around that in my fanfic. Due to the circumstances of his not so bright but fairly dark past, he's become quite an idiot... and Cho is his favourite target. He would taunt her, insult her, push her around or even hurt her physically (his stone flicking skills are remarkable after all.) But there is one turning point (which will be handled a whole lot different in the new version of the story btw) during which Shorty completely loses his mind. This is the scene that I decided to draw!

I think I should next talk about the perspective here because I know it is a bit of an unusual one (and I seem to have a knack for it so expect to see it more often haha). I used a frog perspective here. It's not perfect yet and especially the background isn't harmonizing 100% with the foreground but I think I've finally learned how to use perspective in the first place, not just this particular one. Anyways, the viewer isn't seated on the floor exactly but slightly above (otherwise there would be grass all over the place lol) looking upwards to see Cho run-jumping (I adapted this from the several occasions longnecks are seen running in a jumpy sort of manner - well, kids anyway) towards the viewer, her left foreleg just landing right in front of the viewer while the right is still coming down while the hindlegs are high above the ground. I'll admit this kind of weakened the effect of the frog perspective but I think I managed to draw it accordingly to her pose.

So, Cho has just turned directions here after passing by a thick tree in an attempt to escape the much bigger, much stronger and also faster Shorty. The latter is seen towering slightly over her (Cho would only reach up to his back while standing, roundabout) while just appearing behindd the tree. Kinda saved me the trouble of figuring out his pose as well hahaha   :OhYou

Obviously, Cho is terrified. After being assaulted by a Shorty who lost all sense, she runs while screaming as if a sharptooth was hot on her heels (and if you've read the story you'd know that comparison isn't too far off). I didn't originally plan to have her close her eyes but it kinda worked so I decided to use this instead.

I think I don't need to explain Shorty's expression or do I?  :OhYou

Whew, not that this is out of the way, I can finally tell you a little about the creation process. First things first, I guess, this must have taken me about 20-30 hrs in total which is just an estimation (And only like 10 hrs were spent on the final paper) It might as well have been more if you also count all the time I spent looking for help and screenshots  :oops Speaking of which, I thik I should mention that I DID use a fair amount of them, however I did not trace! I watched some of the tinysaurus chase scenes from LBT 11 frame by frame and literally couldn't decide which of the many poses to use. In the end, a scene of Littlefoot running away from the tinysaurusses won after some discussion on the discord server (If you haven't joined, DO IT NOW  :)littlefoot ). So, I had a screenshot to base my drawing on BUT I needed to change to perspective a lot. Boy that was some hard work xD

I probably had like 3 or 4 sketches done before I decided on that pose at last, some based on screenshots, some from memory. That's several more hours of work btw :P

So, once I had my lineart looking somewhat acceptable, I did some background doodles to get an idea of how to draw some random vegetation and also get an idea of how to apply my perspective on my background. Once I felt semi-okay-ish about it, I made a first draft on my sketch paper with the finished lineart which I kept for the most part in the final version with slight tweaks (and clouds, hah!)

Finally, it was time to colour this monster! It was getting somewhat close to the deadline and I swear I would have made it if my motivation and patience hadn't decided to fuck me, haha. I couldn't work on it for some time and I say it here and now that I am not likely to create many works using coloured pencils in the future anymore. It's simply become too much of a drag to do and very time-consuming if done right. In all honesty, I could have spent twice or thrice the amount of time colouring this and it would probably look a lot better to but what for? I'm not even learning anything valueable during that time!  :sducky I think it's quite easy to spot who I started colouring (Shorty) and what I was colouring last (the bg). Retracing the lines took a good hour and a half today and it was the only step that greatly improved the looks of the drawing (most of Cho's features would have been buried in her dark colour haha, I legit had to look at photos I made of the lineart to recognize where some facial lines were supposed to go)

So yeah, that was my creation process (and that's the rough draft of it haha)  :bolt

Last but not least, let me tell you what I, personally, think about my creation.

First things first, I'm pretty darn proud of it, not lying there.  :)littlefoot It is the first drawing of mine where I actively changed and came up with a perspective. It is also one of the first which I didn't just trace. It is also one of the first showing a scene I came up with myself and probably the only one that's telling a story. Speaking of which, it's the first fanart of a fanfiction (in this case, my own) that I did and also the first to have a fully coloured background (the one with Ducky and Petrie doesn't count, it was traced and butchered  :lol ). So yeah, many firsts and it surely doesn't look any worse than my usual stuff, now does it?  :OhYou Well, let me hear it in all glorious detail, what you think about it, will you? Please please please?  :sducky

Last but not least, I would like to give a special shoutout to Flathead (no, not Littlefoot but our member). Without his constant support and some sketches of his helping me figure out some key elements of my drawing, I might not have made it to get the lineart to look any good in the first place. You rock m8te  :celebrate

It's great to see the final product and now that I'm taking a good look at it (and not on my phone :p ) it is easier to notice the more rushed colouring areas. It still looks good though so you shouldn't be too worried! :DD I agree that coloured pencils take way to long with full backgrounds but as much as I hate it, it feels good when you're finally finished and it comes together.

I think the pose and expression of Cho are done quite well and the blades of grass down at the bottom goes a long way to help sell the perspective. It would've been nice if Cho's head wasn't partially cut off but maybe it helps emphasize that she's running away?

The two nitpicks that I have are with Shorty. His on eye closest to Cho is properly drawn to be angry but the farther one isn't. The eyebrow (or whatever the best way to call it) should be angled downwards toward the nose but the farther eye is angled in the opposite direction (like in a sad expression). I had actually noticed that earlier but you had already had a good amount of progress in so I didn't want to discourage you  :oops The second one is that Shorty's body seems to disappear behind the tree. This one's kinda tricky as it could be possible that with the way he's facing his body could be angle into the page enough that it wouldn't be visible on the other side but it still seems off.

Overall it's really well done and I'm not surprised that you feel proud about this drawing as I think it's the best one you've done! (at least that I've seen)  :)littlefoot

Last but not least, I would like to give a special shoutout to Flathead (no, not Littlefoot but our member). Without his constant support and some sketches of his helping me figure out some key elements of my drawing, I might not have made it to get the lineart to look any good in the first place. You rock m8te  :celebrate
Thanks! It helped motivate me as well so it ended up being mutually beneficial and I'd be happy to do so again.  :cheers

heh, funny scene. :D

Nice! Though yeah, not-simple perspective made some parts of body like forelegs strange-looking. ;)
And I actually like background!

Yeah, it's pretty obvious that this is probably your best drawing thus far! The coloring and lines (as you said) are far more solid than most times before and I quite like Cho's expression here (it's also good to see your vision of her and I quite like it). Her fear of Shorty is really clear here which fits the latter parts of the fic quite well. The trees in the background are very simple but they do their job very nicely. :) However, I agree with Flathead that Shorty's farther eye looks a bit creepy and the way I see it, Cho's body looks a bit small in relation to her head. The perspective brings a pretty good feel to the drawing even if it is probably partially to blame for some of the odd-looking anatomy. Yet, it's good to see draw completely original scenes and it always warms me to bring the fanfiction world to life in visual style too. I truly hope to see more such stuff from you as this is a really nice step forward for you! :DD

When I first saw this picture, I was amazed by the colors! I still am! I have never managed to apply the colours so intensively with coloured pencils, it was always too pale.

Apart from that, I find it well done, and at first look I didn't notice any mistakes.
However, his left front leg looks a little angular.

I think it's good that you made the blades of grass in the foreground. This showed me the depth of perspective. The flower is sweet.  :DD
The scenery becomes perfectly clear because of the facial expressions.

A successful picture!

I was a little unsure about Shorty's eye myself :unsure: Well, I don't think it's too big of an issue but I've gotta keep that in mind  :^^spike

I know Shorty's position isn't ideal but it would have meant having to figure out his pose as well and I was already burnt out from figuring out Cho's.

Glad you like the fina result my friend :)

Hey, I'm glad you like the drawing :D

Yeah, that's how I imagine Cho. Of course I cannot display her true colours with coloured pencils, I think DarkWolf did a really good job when she's drawn her before :)

Her head is so big because it is closer to the onlooker taking the perspective into account. I don't know if the relation is 100% accurate though.

I'm really glad I was able to delight you with this original artwork, it is indeed always a pleasure to see fanfictions come to life with fanart :yes

Thanks for your review Levente! :D

To achieve such vibrant colours, you will need to apply more pressure while colouring. I've also noticed though while using different brands of pencils that some brands give you more vibrant colours because the pencils are softer. I was mostly using those softer pencils here. The second thing is post-editing. I'm using paint.net to adjust sharpness, contrast and saturation after I take a picture.

Oh snap, so much dust in here *cough*

Ahem, so I didn't think that I'd get something done for this prompt after missing the previous two (although I did work on something for one of them which is still unfinished) but, well, here I am, after 8 hours of work following a spontaneous idea, I have finished another drawing I'm quite proud of. See for yourself :)

(make sure to scroll sideways)
(https://i.imgur.com/976NbZj.jpg)

The prompt was to draw something related to the Time of Great Giving. A very open prompt, admittedly. I was thinking about it a fair bit in recent days. Should I draw a scene from the movie? Or something completely else? Well, as we all know, The Time of Great Giving is all about sharing and that was the spark that enlightened me. Sharing... Sharing is caring as we all know and I felt like drawing something related to that :smile

My original idea was to draw Ali and Littlefoot but when I realized that I wasn't able to change the tinysaurus style (I used them as reference and it was also a scene from LBT 11 that I tried to reenact with this artwork) into the normal longneck style, I decided to draw random tinysaurusses instead  :bolt

Right from the start I knew that it would be a two panel picture (and that it would be digital, yes DIGITAL  :celebrate) and still I had to adjust the size of the canvas eventually  :lol I literally haven't worked with my graphic tablet in months which is probably part of the reason why I'm so satisfied with the result. The initial sketching went okay (some misadventures here and there but I think I was done there after 3 hours or so :P ) and the poses I picked turned out to be really awesome, especially the left panel! The biggest difficulty was definitely figuring out how to draw the  :TreeStar :TreeStar :TreeStar, took me a while and the sketch looked much different than the outlines  :olittlefoot

I had to play around a little until I had a tool to outline that I was happy with. PS: Smoothing saved my *censored* or did you think my hand is this steady? Oh no no no  :sducky

It didn't occur to me at first but I decided to add some romance on the right panel at some point during the inking stage and holy spiketail it makes the panel so goddamn cute  :wub

Finally, I had to think about the colours. I didn't feel confident enough to attempt something unusual so I just went with the good old paint tool and used simple, boring flat colouring. I did save the lineart before colouring so maybe when I do feel like it I'll play around with it some more  :^^spike Anyway, since I had unnamed OCs here, I was pretty free as far as colour choices are concerned. As you can see... I was using stereotypes but actually I played around with colours a lot and chose what I liked best; and blue and pink worked nicely together  :lol


I really hope that you like the drawing. I'm aware that the left panel has some anatomical incorrectness because I've drawn the lower body completely freely without any referencing and I know the colouring method is a bit noob-ish but otherwise I'm 100% happy with the result, especially that I was able to do this in one sitting!  :lol: Thanks for listening, Ducky out  :bolt

Time taken: Approx. 7 hours (procrastination and chatting not included)
Software: Art Rage Lite

This drawing is very beautiful! I don't even know where to start! ^^

I think it's clear that this picture is totally sweet! The idea together with the realization gives a very good effect. This is not only achieved by the two tinysaurs, but also by the rhyme and by the hearts.
The drawing may look a bit incorrect in some places, but the effect it creates is not affected for me in any way by it.
Incidentally, I also like the fact that the background color changes.

You can be really proud of yourself! The 7 hours were worth it! Thank you for sharing this drawing with us! :)

I really like this one as well! The characters as well as the obvious message of helping and caring works amazingly in these drawings and it was a great idea to make this picture in two parts as it creates much more depth and strength into the feel of these pictures. :wow The feeling in this one is amazing and the characters look great as well. If I had to nitpick, the girl's face in the first picture looks a bit weird and the lack of background is something that always catches my eye (even though it was in no way relevant in this one so I'm not really complaining). In any case, you had a great idea and an amazing execution for this pair of pictures! :^^spike

Post by: Flathead770 on December 31, 2018, 12:35:45 AM
Such a nice drawing. It may be simple, but I think that adds to it's charm. There are a few errors most notably in the first panel, such as the boy's neck and the girl's face as Sovereign pointed out. Still, a great entry to the prompt!  :)littlefoot

Now I just need to hurry up and finish mine :p

Post by: Ducky123 on January 01, 2019, 09:38:00 PM
Thanks everyone, I'm so glad that you like my drawing! :DD

I was probably debating for like 20 something minutes what colour to use for the background lol. Plain white seemed boring. I wanted ti use a warm colour but no matter what I tried it always seemed to bite. In the end I went for a light blue colour on the left (sort of what you'd expect a sky to look like) and to convey mood picked a pink colour for the right panel :)

Post by: Ducky123 on March 25, 2019, 11:23:58 PM
Here's my super belated entry for the Jan/Feb fanart prompt challenge!

(https://i.imgur.com/4KGfw4e.jpg?1)

The challenge was to draw a movie poster and, well, Shorty's Dark Past is sort of an alternative version of LBT 10 if you will so I thought it'd fit the prompt nicely  :PAli

This was a little extra tricky because it makes a huge difference how you compose the picture, where you put what characters etc. I think I did an okay job with it :^^spike

I started planning on this piece of squared paper, not really assuming I'd end up with a finalized concept yet. But I ended up with a really acceptable concept. Knowing fully well that changes to the positions would happen if I traced this to a new piece of paper, I decided to stick to this piece of paper even though it has some disadvantages. Since it's so smooth, it was certainly easier to colour though.

I began with Shorty. He's unarguably the main character of the story so he had to be somewhat in the foreground, right? I'm not so happy about the fact that I merely copied a popular pose of his but by now you should know that I'm simply not good enough to draw my poses all by myself.

Of course Cho had to be in the poster too  :PAli Unlike for Shorty, I had to improvise a lot on her pose and while I can't guarantee for anatomical correctness, I think she looks okay :P Wish those tears weren't biting with her black colour so much, oh well. For those curious, Shorty is a bad boy and bullies her a lot which is why I chose to portrait the two the way I did. It's probably not the most central conflict of the story but one of my personal favourites :^^spike

Littlefoot and Ali are like secondary main characters of the story so I thought I'd put them somewhere in the foreground but a little distance behind Shorty. Unlike Shorty, they're having a splendid time so I've drawn them happy and goofy  :PAli Can anybody tell that I used a reference from the Tv-series for Littlefoot?  :sducky I based Ali off that same reference too so I guess Ali is the only character here where I did the pose myself, sort of  :)littlefoot
By the way, what do you think about the colour schemes of these two? I was experimenting with a different set of colours here and as for Ali, well, it was a first drawing her :P

Bron is kinda in the background with a concerned expression. This makes sense because not only Shorty but Littlefoot too will cause him some grief in the story.

The other characters are spoiler territory for those who don't know the original version of the story yet so I won't say anything about them here :)

Don't ask me why I ended up doing a background, it's nothing too special, I just sketched this in a few minutes lol and the colouring was a bit rushed, there's no shame in admitting that. Colouring isn't really fun for me nor is there any skill behind it if I just colour it flat like this (lacking time/dedication to learn better colouring methods). But a drawing without any looks bland so I had to colour it, I guess  :thinking The sky may look even more rushed but I actually did this as to mix different pencils to create a colour gradient. I think this passes as a sunset just barely  ;)Cera

I hope that you like my drawing :)
Title: Re: Ducky123's fanart :)
Post by: Flathead770 on March 28, 2019, 12:02:07 AM
A late entry gets a late response I guess right?  :PAli

It's good to see you make a submission for this one! I wasn't sure if you were going to make it. Despite having the pesky graph paper lines present, the drawing looks all around pretty great! 

I won't comment too much on Shorty since he's mostly taken directly from a reference but needless to say he looks good. Cho and Bron both look real good as well. Littlefoot and Ali look decent enough as well but their heads look a little off, though it's kinda hard to pinpoint exactly what. I see you went with a colour scheme similar to CybertronianBrony's for Littlefoot. Probably looks better then my brown one and is different from Ali's to easily tell them apart so that's good.

Another small nitpick is the changing directions for the sky. You can see the strokes going in clashing directions. I think the long strokes look good with this very bright sunset you're going but I feel like if you had them all pointed radially outward from the sun it would look better. The gradient from the yellow to orange is also a nice touch.

What I feel is the best part of the poster though is the focus with Shorty. His name is in the title after all. He takes a prominent spot at the center of the poster, with almost every character in the background staring intently at him and his actions. I know what you're going for with Littlefoot and Ali but I feel like if you could have included them in this as spectators it might have been better as it seems awkward that they're the only ones happy in this, seemingly ignorant to what is occurring :p

Great stuff though!  :)littlefoot

This picture really has a rather cool setup which is really fitting for a poster. Indeed, the tension between Shorty and Cho works rather well and it lays out the themes of the fic quite nicely. All the expressions work really well and the dramatic sky creates a very decent effect that adds to the atmosphere very well. The colors are also smooth enough. As for the problems, Shorty's neck looks a bit too long which isn't that noticeable. What caught my eye more is Littlefoot and Ali's expressions as they seem to break the serious tone of the poster quite clearly. Perhaps trying to create a bit more coherent picture of the characters' feelings towards the main conflicts of the fic could have worked better but the poster is already good enough as it is. Nice job! :)

While I don't know the story, the picture is quite good! Like others have said, it is nice that Shorty is right in the middle as the main subject. the background, while simple, is detailed and random enough to look nice. And I just love the two heads poking out of the bushes, haha! Nice job :)

Thanks for the feedback @Flathead770  :)

I've certainly rushed the sky a bit and I didn't quite know how to create the colour gradient in the first place so I guess I kinda forgot about stroke direction which is something I usually try to keep in mind  :confused

Now that you mention it, it really looks a bit like how Cyber colours Littlefoot  :thinking I'm not too fond of the brown colour scheme I've been using for ages anymore so I tried something different. This is grey with light yellow for the light parts which works alrighty if I daresay so.

I've been thinking about Ali/Littlefoot a lot, believe me. I was conflicted as to whether I should display the issues with Shorty or focus on their happy reunion instead. As you can tell, I decided to portrait that in the end  :PAli

Yeah, now that you mention it Shorty's neck looks slightly too long  :thinking Well, it looks like you too think a more serious tone for Ali/LF might have worked better. I can certainly get behind that but hard to undo at this point, I'm afraid  :sducky I'm glad you liked the picture though, that's the most important thing in the end :)

Oh here's a trick to resizing images. Use: [img width=xxx] instead of just [img]. It will use the amount of pixels you set as a max and resize the image appropriately. I've resized the image to width 900 as an example ^^

Post by: Ducky123 on May 02, 2019, 10:55:24 AM
Oh sweet, thank you Iris  :)littlefoot I simply took the imgur link and pasted it and usually that doesn't give me unusually large ppics but I guess my phone has some moods sometimes and likes to randomly snap larger pictures or something XD

Yes, I was gonna comment on the cut off heads when the fully coloured version is out. For once, I messed up the proportions a bit and ended up drawing this about an inch too big for them to fit on the picture. And secondly, they would be so small that they picture would probably look worse with them in it. Therefore, I will make a separate drawing of the two on Littlefoot's head soon where they're large enough to look semi-decent, I suppose  :bolt

I've got some ideas for this one and I'll share my full thoughts about the drawing when it's coloured. :)

Looks pretty solid thus far! :) Even if copying pictures might easier than drawing a new one, the look of this drawing is thus far steadier and cleaner than usual. But yeah, Petrie and Ducky look really awkward which is rather unfortunate. :p

Post by: Flathead770 on May 02, 2019, 11:46:18 PM
I agree that it is looking really good so far! It may be copying the scene from the movie but it's an excellent showcase of the friendship that formed and is an interesting take on the prompt for family.

Ducky and Petrie aren't cool enough to fit the picture, it seems. Ah, well, we can still kinda see them, so I guess that's a win. :smile
I haven't looked through much of your artwork yet, but I'm sure that I will get that chance sooner or later. Just have to make time to view your work, is all. Even if it's not fully colored yet, I must say that this is some pretty amazing work, Ducky. I like how you chose the classic scene of the gang hugging each other. I might go a bit overboard when I say this, but when you have colored this work, it will look even hundred times better, in my opinion. And furthermore, it looks very similar to the film's own image. At least to me, I can't say the same for everyone else, but that's what it looks like to me and you should be commended for that. :^^spike

it's all over the fanfiction forum.

While I have mostly retired as an artist, I'm still quite invested in writing whenever I get find a little time, inspiration and motivation.

Aside from various one-shots I wrote for the fanfiction prompt challenge, there are a few ongoing stories that are more or less on hiatus.

SDP (Shorty's Dark Past) - active but I'm writing ahead on an arc so there's a break in uploading at the moment.

One of my first two stories that actually made the cut. It's set during the events of LBT 10 but with the addition of Ali, some OCs and figures from Shorty's dark past he'd rather forget... I've started rewriting this a while ago so I recommend checking out the new version of it (because the old version is sucky in a few regards  :sducky ).

The land before time fanfiction series - on hiatus

This is a topic for a series of novellizations I'm planning. Currently, I am novellizing the glorious first movie but work on SDP has kinda put it on hiatus for now.

Not Supposed To Be - on hiatus

a story about older Ducky and Petrie. They fell in love and became a couple, however Petrie's instincts linked to the Time of Great Growing as well as his growing doubts about their relationship (growing differences in size and other issues that come with inter-species relationships) are threatening to tear their bond apart. The story begins when Petrie goes on a journey, leaving Ducky behind devastated. Are they really supposed to be? Both will have to find out.

I simply haven't worked on this in ages so I feel safer continuing work on the other stories for now but I have no intention of leaving it unfinished such as a few other projects I wrote over time...

I also have a short FINSHED story to offer. It's about SUCKY, a very unfortunate swimmer and a bit of a crackfic. You have been warned  :)petrie

Oh boy I haven't uploaded any pics in forever  :opetrie I'll put the pic in spoilers in case people want to wait for the final product (also someone tell me again how to resize these?  :bang )

Well, here's my preliminary submission for the Hurt|Fear prompt, a one page comic about Ducky as she regrets Spike's departure. Time taken up to this point is likely around 30 hours. I'll make a full artist's note (does this term exist?   :thinking) once it's done which won't be before February as I have to work on finishing the current prompt somewhat in time  :PCera

Wow! Getting some experience in for the comic prompt coming up later this year? ;)

I really like it. Ducky's face looks quite natural in most of the tiles, which is impressive enough on its own. Add to that the detailed backgrounds and you've definitely got yourself a masterpiece right here. The only real feedback I have is that Ducky's head doesn't quite look right in the first panel, but other than that... Yeah, simple amazing.

As for how to resize: add width=xxx where xxx is the max number of pixels in the first img tag, like this: [img width=800]

Very decent work. :chompysmile We haven't really seen comics before and you certainly made a lot of great expression here. The first three pictures created a very somber and sad mood for the rest of the comic and they worked perfectly. I really like what you made here but sadly, the pictures' size make it a bit difficult to see the comic as a single entity. Likewise, the spiketails in the first picture look.. not great. I get they're far away but still... But overall, a great idea with a pretty good execution. :^^spike

Coming back to the fanart world with a vengeance I see :p Seriously, this is really good! The backgrounds look awesome and the Ducky is well drawn from what I can make out (hard to tell with all the scrolling required haha). I think the one frame where Ducky is wiping the tears off her face her fingers look a little angular but that's about it. You've certainly got the comic prompt entry down so I expect a good one when the time comes!  ;)

And yes I know all about spending 30+ hours on a drawing. Worth the effort though right? It would be great to see you posting some more art a little more frequently as well!  :smile

For anyone trying to view this ginormous picture before Ducky123 edits it down to size, view it in another tab at its source by right clicking on the image, "Copy Image Location", and paste it in a new tab. :)

I agree with the majority that this is an awesome, well refined drawing that captures the emotion of Ducky very well. Being able to draw Ducky very consistently within many different panels while maintaining her appearance showed a lot of endurance and control, so I admire your skill on that regard. The background is sketched beautifully, and once again as expected, your shading is on par. I will agree with Mumbling though that Ducky's head in the first panel seems a little off, kinda like her head isn't aligned perfectly with her neck. Also, in the rectangular panel in the middle right of the paper, the way that Ducky's fisted hand was drawn is something that I don't like personally as it looks too boxy for me. But overall, splendid effort on the comic prompt. :smile

Edit: Flathead, you beat me towards that one piece of criticism I was saying. Oh well. :lol

I must say that I'm genuinely very much in awe of how great this looks like. This approach in reference to a comic book certainly must be the groundwork for the comic prompt entry as others here have already expressed their admiration upon your work in this field. And I must say that the theme is also one that was done remarkably well. You can practically feel the bleak atmosphere in your heart. If there is one critique I found, it would have to be in the very first panel as you can hardly recognize the distant figures as spiketails. The size of the drawing is also very distracting, but that's beside the point.

All things considered, those 30+ hours definitely were not wasted as this was a very great way to showcase this month's prompt. :)

I really like the comic approach you have here! The close-up on Ducky's face really drives home her despair. :D

^Agreed. The comic style is a nice touch. I'm impressed at how good the shading looks too, as I seem to recall you saying before that this was your first time ever attempting shading. Do you have any tips on how to do shading like that?

Also, commenting on your earlier drawing here:

Very nice. I love that scene from the movie. Shame about decapitated Ducky and Petrie, as was noted earlier. :P But great drawing otherwise. Are you still planning to do an updated version of it sometime?

Wow thanks everyone! I'm going to reply once the drawing is done :)

19 months later  :bolt

So, just if anyone is curious, I never did finish the drawing above and I definitely won't ever do so.


However *drumroll plz* I wouldn't be posting here if I didn't have at least something cruddy to show off  :bestsharptooth



This is an entry for the current prompt challenge "Epic Fail"! I had so many ideas lol. Rhett getting what he deserves, Littlefoot hitting his head while he's observing Ali, Sucky having a Sucky day... so many possibilities  :ChomperPOG

My lack of skill and the severe lack of time to work on anything creative led me to choose something that's been featured in the movies and quite easy to draw. Thus "When a spiketail sleeps on you" was born  :^^spike

I do admit I've been more lazy than I should have been with this drawing but time is money as they say and I'm happy with what I managed to whip up in around 5-6 hrs. If anyone is interested, this is how the drawing came to life:

1. I chose a particularly good expression from the screencaps on animationscreencaps.com
2. I traced over it with the pencil tool  :bolt
3. I used an ink brush with medium amount of smoothing to create somewhat good-looking lineart (there are a few spots where you can sorta see when a new line starts because I didn't clean every tiny speck up, just the major stuff that was easy to spot)
4. I used digital oil paint  :lol And yes, I actually painted it. And eventually realized separate layers for each colour might have been smarter  :sduckyGive me some credit for not using auto-fill, okay?  :bronGoodJob
5. I used auto-fill for the background because white didn't look too great. Also, I was too lazy to paint the background, okay?  :angel
6. Signature in sweet red oil paint  :ChomperImAwesome

All done in ArtRage light with my little Intuos Wacom tablet (I forgot which model I actually have, it was cheap anyway)


Will we see more art from Ducky? I have no idea honestly. If it happens, it happens (and will probably be anime-related rather than LBT art but you never know  :^^spike )

Spike! Stop crushing Ducky!  :duckyscared

Good one!
Would like to see more of your art when inspiration strikes.

(I still didn't get used to my Wacom tablet...)

Oh dear, poor Ducky!

Having a look through your thread it's great to see the improvement over the years! I'd love to see more from you, but of course it's up to you. Inspiration can suddenly strike at weird times (I'd know, I hadn't drawn a thing for three years before the start of 2021).  :rhett_smile

Nice to see more prompt entries too!  :smile

Ducky getting crushed by Spike, classic  :PLoofah
Good to see you doing some fanart again. I suppose it makes sense since you were the one to suggest this prompt in the first place  :bestsharptooth
And who knows, maybe one day you'll get back into drawing more. I'll be looking forward to it if you do!  :chompysmile
