You can use a number, a different name, or try your wanted nickname backwards or an added letter.

Ok, so i looked "Vek" on google and i got like 7 millions of results...

I tried "Kaelvek" ( don't ask wtf it's mean, i just dreamed about that last night :lol. I often got  briliant idea while sleeping ) and i get 0 result, so i choosed it  :smile

Deviantart is not as simple than this forum for upload a picture ( when i saw the category choices i was like :wow) . But i finaly uploaded my first drawing of Cera. The 2 others will follow in some minutes.

With some webcam problem, i cant take picture of my drawing anymore, and dont have money for buy a new one. So i decided to try draw with Gimp:










The hardest part was to draw with my right hand. I hold pencils with my left hand, but i hold my mouse with the right hand. I did not put effort in that first one, i just wanted to test some Gimp fonction.



For my second try, i wanted to try to do my dinosona ( well i did not have the choice, Cera dont want me to draw her anymore  <_<  ). I did it seriously and i am so happy with the result that i took it for my avatar, even if it's the alpha version:









Twice happy in fact, because i did not used any reference !

funny first picture, I like the 2nd, and you can swap the mouse buttons to use it with your left hand.  I did that since I have some weird problem with my right forearm now that may never heal.  It's usually ok for day to day use, but I use the mouse left handed due to part of the reason.

Good to know that if i put some humor on a ugly picture, it will be apreciated anyway.

So you're left handed?

I am not sure if you talk to me or to Kor. If it's to me; I think i am ambidextrous. For writing and draw with a pencil, i use my left hand. For use the mouse or scissors i use my right one. I tried to switch my mouse for left handed and it's too weird... I'll keep draw on my computer with my right hand, i'll get used.




After many drawings of Cera and one baby Littlefoot, i wanted to try another character:









Like the first picture of Cera, it's more for practicing the options of Gimp than seriously draw. I tested the shadow and light effect on Ducky and the trees behind. Some rocks for adding detail and i put more effort on the grass and the trees than in the first picture. Water stay a problem, i dont know how to do it in a realist way... yet. But i will find out someday, Three-horn can do anything !


For Ducky herself, i know the head is too small and flat and the hand is strangely done. The only thing that i am happy is with the colors.

Yeah I was talking to you Vek. I was going to suggest moving the mouse so you can use your left hand, but now I don't think that'll help. Perhaps you could someday get a tablet?

Just keep trying, don't look just at the mistakes, look also at what you think you did well and what you improved on also.  Nice picture of Ducky by the way.

The first picture made me laugh. :lol And it's pretty good, too, considering the constraints you had. I don't think I could draw something that good with my left hand, mouse or pencil! (Cera's spinal ridge looks fantastic!)

And the second picture is very well done! :wow And drawn without a reference, too! Wow! I can see some spots by your character's eyebrow, horn, and ear that aren't colored in, and the whites of the character’s eyes are missing, but it’s a pretty darn good threehorn. :yes

As for the third picture, well…I think Ducky said it best! :smile She actually looks really good! :wow Again, I see a few tiny white spaces that could be colored in, but I’m seriously so impressed with how well you drew Ducky’s face that this may very well be my favorite of your three latest art pieces. :yes
