This will thread will contain my LBT Fanart as well as some extra art but mainly LBT. I will soon be posting up my first art and I also plan to draw some scenes from my story The Swimmer Trials. As always feedback is always useful.

What's the point in being mad if you don't do mad things now and again?

I do my LBT fanart by looking at a character screenshot and sketching the character. Next I go over the drawing with fine liner since I don't do pencil shading. Once that is done I paint the character and once that's dry I go over it again with fine liner.

So without further ado here is my first pic:






This is Ducky's mother or as she is called in The Swimmer Trials: Sura.

Hey, I'm glad you decided to post your art!  :lol

Sura looks really good! I don't think there are many people using paint for their LBT artwork. It's either coloured pencils (like me) or digital drawing or a mixture of sorts. Looking forward to seeing your future artwork, yep, yep, yep :D

Nice paint work. I've never been that good with paint myself.

Thanks very much mates :D
I also really liked doing this one. Though I'll tell you it was very very difficult to find the right shade od brown for her. Since her character colour job is different throughout the franchise so I focused on her colour scheme from movie 8 and a screenshot from the reunion in movie 5. It was still difficult to find the right shade though because you need to get the right amount of paint on the stick with the right amount of water so by the time I was done I had almost completely used up my brown paint   :p

While I'm not a master painter I still like using it and have a bit of practice at homing my skill. Glad you like it though :yes

Here's another one of my pieces though it is uncoloured or un painted in this case, it is ready for that stage however. It's Guido.

Thanks very much. I drew it in a art comp with my sister, she did hers in pencil and neither of us coloured in. My parents judged my sister's version of the character to be just a little bit better then mine but I still did a good job.

Here is a pic of Littlefoot.




I personally find that his front leg is out of proportion to much and I certainly believe I could improve on the face. Because I can't paint over the lines I have to be very precise if I paint over the fine lines then it will mess up the entire picture but it's still not to bad for an amateur.

Nice work again! ;)

The only flaw this painting has is, as you mentioned, the right frontleg of Littlefoot. The upper part of the leg is too small, as in too thin. His face looks alright to me (maybe I should ask RockingScorpion, if he sees a flaw because he has an excellent eye for such things  :smile )

Here's a pic of Cera, I'm doing The Gang in order.




I think it's pretty good but once again I've still got some more improvement to do in terms of the 'foot work' but apart from that I think its very good.

Except for her beak, Ducky looks very good here :yes You should try to draw her beak a little bigger. You picked a difficult perspective though :)

Thanks Ducky :)

I should get Petrie coloured in sometime. Also the pic I uploaded to DA is the first pic in this thread the only difference is size and the fact that I used a proper camera with the DA pic.

The rest of The Gang will come around shortly ^^spike

Good drawing indeed.  Coloring will be interesting to see.  Hope you post your pictures here in the future.  We look forward to seeing more.  :)

Thank for the comments guys. I'll get around to colouring Petrie soon, in the meantime here's the next member of The Gang



I wish I had a darker green in my arsenal while I was doing the paintwork.
