Title: The most evil swimmer's non-LBT artwork
Post by: Ducky123 on July 29, 2014, 04:27:16 PM
Yes, I have decided to not only draw LBT-stuff but also expand my horizont a little ^^ Since I've joined a contest on DA, there will be some non-LBT art in the next few days I suppose. Also fanart of other shows (yes, I'm planning to draw that) will be posted here rather than in my main thread :)

Here's my first artwork! (have to scan it yet so bad quality >_<)
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/Random%20stuff/ARTCONTEST-Myfavouriteanimal_zps3afa50cb.jpg)
The subject today is "Your favourite animal" so I went with a budgie :D Since I like birds/parrots and since I do have two budgies, I figured I'd draw one of these :DD Besides, I've drawn them before when I was younger so it isn't exactly something I never tried before (but I still needed a photo reference  :angel ) Maybe I'm going to draw my little troublemakers as well... one day :p
I was playing with dinosaurs as well but they were very difficult to draw realistically so I abandoned the thought after some fails  :rolleyes:
Anyway, hope you like it ^^

Very nice!  :)

Are there any other birds that you are thinking about drawing?
Title: The most evil swimmer's non-LBT artwork
Post by: Ducky123 on July 29, 2014, 04:40:23 PM
Thanks! :)

I'm considering drawing a canary bird (since I have one as well), some parrots and Blue/Jewel from Rio :smile Well, if I have a sudden inspiration, then it can be any kind of bird...

Nice drawing.    So planning on drawing more birds?  Do you like drawing birds best to other things?
Title: The most evil swimmer's non-LBT artwork
Post by: Ducky123 on July 30, 2014, 07:22:53 AM
Thanks! :)

Yes, I like drawing them :) I'm not sure when I'm going to draw another one but I'm pretty sure I will eventually :)

Today's topic was "my favourite season". Don't wanna start a rant here but the result is not something I'm proud of nor was it intended to become my entry into the contest. I was going for a LBT work but I haven't been capable of transferring my ideas onto paper. It's a shame I can't draw without references :bang
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/Random%20stuff/ARTCONTEST-Myfavouriteseason_zps3061aa2d.jpg)
For the sake of having an entry at all, I drew a sun with sunglasses, representing the season of summer. I don't have a favourite season; this was just something I didn't need a reference for.
So yeah, hope you like it more than I do :p

Next one will be something with food as I just found out... Oh well :lol

PS: Will have to scan this one as well... my mum needs to scan it at work because we don't have a scanner at home >_<

Today's topic was "my favourite food(s)" so I went with this (thanks to bushwacked for the witty idea ^^):
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/Random%20stuff/ARTCONTEST-Myfavouritefood_zps4c6017d6.jpg)
The "F" is supposed to be Pommes Frites, the two "O's" are supposed to be cherries, the "belly" of the "D" is supposed to be a strawberry and the "neck" of it is supposed to be a noodle :p A better quality version will come eventually and I hope ya like this :lol

I actually had a decent idea... I need to mark today in the calender  :p Looks good Ducky, hope you win the competition!  :goodluck
Title: The most evil swimmer's non-LBT artwork
Post by: rhombus on August 03, 2014, 08:45:00 PM
Good luck in the competition, Ducky!  :goodluck  I thoroughly approve of your choice of foods.

Post by: Ducky123 on August 04, 2014, 04:16:02 AM
Aww, thanks for the comments and wishing me good luck :lol The winners will be chosen at random though. It IS a competition but with the aim to help people get motivated and (possibly) inspired (which definitely worked on my end) and help them improve by expanding their artistic horizonts :) It's giving me a good reason to draw stuff I usually wouldn't draw but it's also not much of a burden at all (maybe it would if I didn't have summer hols right now :smile). Besides, people see my work and check it out so I'm gaining some more attention and, possibly, permanent followers :lol

I don't know what the next topic to draw will be yet so I'll have to surprise you this time, I'm afraid :p

Well, I think I announced a while ago that I'd be trying some fanart ofter other shows, didn't I? Well, here's my first attempt at non-LBT fanart.

(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/b1bd2812-917c-4898-a72a-9abf3262f58d_zps9ec22f1b.jpg)

I have drawn Violetta from "The Incredibles". While there are a lot of obvious issues with this drawing, I'm still happy I managed to make it look decent :smile Please give me some constructive critism on how to improve :) I will try to realise that in a fanart of HTTYD that I intend on starting this week if school allows me to. It won't be uploaded anytime soon however :p I got a safe amount of drawings that I can upload prior to it :yes
Title: The most evil swimmer's non-LBT artwork
Post by: rhombus on October 14, 2014, 05:38:44 PM
That looks like a good effort.   :) I can see where you were indicating that you had some difficulty with the drawing, namely around the nose and the mask, but practice makes perfect.  The remainder of the drawing looks good.

Something I made for a christmas-themed contest (there are lots of them on Deviant Art in general right now...)
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/fa2b6def-8da0-4801-8623-028526fbf347_zpse3295c37.jpg)
Just a quick sketch without much detail. Just created this for the sake of entering and of course because it's christmas :D  I replaced the star on top of the tree with the new logo of Deviant Art as it seemed to fit pretty well =P

Also sorry for the blurriness. I didn't have an opportunity to scan it since the deadline happens to be... today :p

Post by: Ducky123 on December 28, 2014, 08:34:46 PM
The very recent passing away of my dear budgie Emilio has inspired me to draw him as a sort of tribute to the five years I could spent with him together :)

(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/38ded48e-f88d-4d77-b8ca-5c0f4cd75ba5_zps5a19b5af.jpg)

I'm amazed my old Nintendo DSi shoots such "sharp" photos. That'll make it easier for me to upload stuff whenever I can't scan my art like right now :p

Hope you like it and I hope I did him justice :yes
Title: The most evil swimmer's non-LBT artwork
Post by: rhombus on December 28, 2014, 09:35:05 PM
That is a touching tribute, Ducky.  :) I certainly think that you did him justice with your drawing.
Title: The most evil swimmer's non-LBT artwork

Thanks! I'm glad you think so :yes

Here's yet another contest entry... Stormfly from HTTYD 2.

(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/a7a29b64-fd69-4a22-813c-c900d8b58638_zps7508bdcb.jpg)

First off, I'm not really happy with this. The colours are often not correct and I haven't drawn the skin scales because I've lost motivation after a while and I ran out of time to finish this in time (the deadline was yesterday  :angel ). So err... hope you like it, I guess :p

Will scan this some day.

*almost chokes on the dust*

Erm, about time to post something here again, huh?

I've been a fan of Naruto for two years but I've never drawn anything related to the show yet so here we go. Made a few sketches a long while ago and this one was good enough to colour so I did :p

sketch:
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/b4bf29e6-0323-4905-9f78-86aed186aa2b_zpscjo1ejyw.jpg)
coloured:
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/6ac31da6-a0d3-4226-8dce-4b041b5b3bfb_zpsdpvjpi7r.jpg)
Well, this is Hinata who is secretly adoring the main character Naruto but she's too shy :lol I adore her and I ship her with Naruto :D

This is a very simple drawing and I didn't take as much effort as I could have while colouring this because of that. Consider it a test of sorts since I'll more than likely do more fanart of this anime in the future. I have another artwork related to it that I'll show you next week (or maybe 2 weeks, depends).

I might also enter two contests on DA with non-LBT entries so there might be more to see here in the next few weeks :)

Title: The most evil swimmer's non-LBT artwork
Post by: Ducky123 on October 31, 2016, 06:45:47 PM
Well, I hate posting things outside the order I start working on them but this just popped up in my mind yesterday and I HAD to draw it and (to my surprise) it WORKED :DD

sketch:
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/87f64415-5097-45cb-ad12-55d41bc60d86_zpskpucs9vp.jpg)
coloured:
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/e378a0b7-acdd-4d13-b137-2e87e57ec97f_zpsxlmytomk.jpg)

Note: both pictures are taken under bad lighting conditions (unnatural light source). The coloured version will obviously get a better quality replacement as soon as I can capture a better shot of it.(EDIT: coloured version did get a better quality upload now)

So, I guess you didn't expect that, huh? Me drawing something like that? Well, I got inspired and, since I want to learn drawing humans anyway, I took on the challenge. After a slow start, the artwork slowly developed into this which is pretty close to the image I was originaly aiming at. There are some unfortunate issues with the colouring which I haven't experienced in a long time... smearing the black pencil of the lineart while colouring. I've used the same pencils I always use, yet I experienced this issue here. My only guess it that this happens when the lineart is still very young. I usually don't colour my art right away, sometimes up to a few weeks until I do... (even more visible now with the better quality upload)

Well, I'm still very proud of the result and I hope I will be able to draw similar stuff in the future with similar results.

Hope you like it and Happy Halloween!  ^^spike

Post by: Ducky123 on December 27, 2016, 11:33:48 AM
I was participating in a Secret Santa event on DeviantArt (we should so totally do that next year on here too!) and this is what I ended up drawing for the person I was tasked to draw a gift for (event was hosted by a group on DA who managed those things)

(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/03095a51-81f2-4ed1-8d38-28cf2c6855cf_zps1vhv1p2e.jpg)

Well, I had the choice between Pokemon, mammals and yaoi... I ended up drawing yaoi  :lol:

It's not exactly a very good work of mine but I it's the best I could come up with after finally deciding what to draw to begin with (the deadline is today ^^spike). Naruto and Sasuke... kissing  :p Reference was obviously used.

EDIT: This is what I got Click! (http://cyanodrake.deviantart.com/art/SS-Littlefoot-651348794) :wub

That's a nice picture you drew and there's nothing wrong with you drawing that I think it's awesome that you drew that. You did a very good job drawing that picture.

Time for more Naruto art, I guess... though this drawing is oooooooooold :lol

(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/1ea7513f-439e-4c56-8cef-a4887e911b6f_zpsmdubundj.jpg)
I was originally trying to enter a contest a loooooooong time ago (I think it was about something romance-related and just rediscovered this sketch recently. I didn't find any references I used for this anymore so I was unsure whether I would be able to colour this accurately or not... ended up deciding against it for the time being and only make a finished lineart for this :lol

Just to clarify... Hinata is dreaming there :p

I actually wanted to upload some LBT art today but I realized I messed up the photo that I took like a month ago  :lol

But, there's something else I've been working on lately :p

(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/136%20Birbs%20lineart%20by%20tsao-shin_zpsjks4sqck.jpeg)
Ahem, yes this is digital art ^^spike

Basically, I was watching a stream on twitch which happened to be a paint-along. Now I really do like birbs so I just painted along with little to no knowledge how to do it. Considering that, this is probably impressive :p

Might try some basic shading in the next digital piece (already have something planned) though I'll need at least 1000 tutorials for that :DD

Anyway, digital painting is tons of fun, just creating lineart is not (funny, it's the other way around with traditional works)

Program used: Krita

Thank you :) I tried to keep it close to the colours these birds have IRL but it wasn't always easy to find the right colour right away.

Thanks :D I worked on this for a few hours so, yes, I tried to colour this as best as I could  :angel  The transitions aren't very good though, I need to practise more to discover a better way of doing it :p

Actually, I wish I had the skills to paint without needing any lineart :p

Title: The most evil swimmer's non-LBT artwork
Post by: Flathead770 on June 27, 2017, 09:18:37 PM
Very nice. I like the grey and yellow one the most since the different shades of grey mixed together help it stand out (as compared to the flat colors on the far left bird). Now I don't know if it's just me, but since the background is white it makes it look like the center bird is unfinished. Maybe the very pale yellow instead of white or more of a gradient would help?

Anyways, Good job!

I think I was testing the effect of opacity on that Cockatiel :smile I was thinking about painting a background but I absolutely suck at them... I do have the intension to look at some landscapes and try to draw them on paper to get a feeling for background but time is rare to spend on pure "training", shall we say :p

Might use this topic more frequently again in the future.

(https://i.imgur.com/sc4yNnk.jpg)

A week ago or so I've drawn this as a birthday present for Flathead770. There's a story behind it too  :PCera

This winter season, I was really enjoying the anime WATATEN (Watashi ni Tenshi ga waiorita aka. An Angel Flew Down To Me) because of how adorable the characters are and I've constantly been pestering him about the anime so I felt I might as well take the opportunity to draw my favourite girl out of the 3 main characters  :bestsharptooth

So here you have the adorable Noa-chan. Isn't she cute?  :lol

Took me about 7 hours in one sitting and the reference was a popular fanart.  :angel

Always nice see that someone went through the effort for a birthday, so thanks!

For the drawing itself it seems to be one of your best as for your anime drawings. Nothing obvious sticks out to me and the colouring was done really well!
