Thank you Iris and Strut :)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 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.
Like Pterano would say: That's a great compliment from your small beakHah, that's an awesome quote :D
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. biggrin.gifI see you know me very well :nyah I'll just say: DO IT :DD
I think you are a fan of Ducky, might that be possible? xDI thought my username tells that I'm a big Ducky fan :blink: Yep, yep, yep ;)
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 :)
As promised: Ducky/Petrie image :DOh, too cute! I love this scene, Petrie can't stay unhappy when Ducky starts singing ;)
(http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q759/DrArnulf4eva/my%20LBT%20fanart/img660_zps008e55f3.jpg) (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 :)
My only explanation for this, might be that this little bit of yellow actually already belongs to the swimmer's tail...
Your outlines are pretty much spot-on, just a little more smooth (really just a little) around the corners should do the trick. wink.gifWill watch that in the future! :D
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. xDI get what you mean now :smile
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.Well, I was using the B6 earlier and I think it looks much better than my black pencil :angel The scan will tell me more :p
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 :)
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.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).
I look forward to seeing how your new outlining technique works in future drawings. in-yes.gif
Aah, yep, I remember you said something about that Petrie. biggrin.gifWell, I can't argue with that :p I admit that I traced one of my recently uploaded pictures somewhat because I failed like two or three times and decided to "cheat" a little :angel
And he looks good wink.gif 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. wink.gifYeah, somewhat :D
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. wink.gifWell, 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 ;)
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
That's it, I hope you can make something out of this. smile.gifOh, 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 ^^
(And if it's not, you can always write me a PM wink.gif )
Oh btw, I'm still looking forward to something you announced in my art thread. biggrin.gifAs I said, it's going to take a while until it'll be uploaded. If you, however, want a sneak peak... just let me know and I'll shoot a photo (will be lower quality however...)
I'm flattered :lol: THANK YOU! :wowYou're welcome. :D It helps that Pterano is a favorite.
Yeah, I assumed that you would rather like the pic since Pterano is one of your favourite characters :)Well, you assumed correctly. This has made my night a happy one. :)
Ha ha! Me evil flyer!Thanks! I guess I got his expression right huh? :p Oh, and that caption is a classic ^^
I like this smile.gif
Good drawing! in-yes.gifThanks! 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)
I have to laugh, however, as I imagine Petrie saying "Rise me minions!" while making that pose. dino_laugh.gif Petrie needs to take some more lessons from Pterano. Even when he tries looking scary, he ends up looking cute instead. in-yes.gif
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 :pYeah 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.
Now guess what (or rather...who?) the next picture will show :idea
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...)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. -_-
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.
Heh, I love that scene as well. dino_laugh.gif You can practically imagine Petrie saying "He did it!" when he makes that expression.Yeah :smile
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. in-yes.gifI'm happy that you like it despite these annoying bugs :angel
The look on his face dino_laugh.gif.Yeah :D Looks like I caught his expression quite well, huh?
"It weren't me it were him!"
Gute Zeichnung mein Freund.Lol, what is it with people talking in my native language lately? :DD This is like the third time in a week that somebody did... Well, it's cool that people know a little German (or take the effort of putting it into Google Translate at least :p). I'm glad you like my drawing. Danke! ;)

That looks very nice, Ducky! in-yes.gif 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.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):
Err I can see right down your gobs! XDYeah, that made me pick the screenshot. It looked so creepy and I guess my artwork conveys that as well :p Glad you like it!
I think it's from the 9th film during the imaginary friend song.
Do I get a cookie!? Dino_grins.gif
Good drawing anyway.
Very nice. smile.gif I thought that it looked familiar. There doesn't appear to be any noticeable smears in this drawing and the coloration is quite well done. Have you switched the pencils that you used?Yep, I have also started using that dreaded pencil AFTER the colouring is finished :yes I used other pencils for the primary outlining you see in the sketch. Though I didn't use the smeary pencil here but I've already applied it on some other picture I believe :)
In any case, a very good drawing. in-yes.gifI'm happy you like it :)
This has to be one of your best drawings of Ducky yet. smile.gifThanks a bunch! :D Well, part of the credit should go to RockingScorpion for coming up with the pose in the first place ;)
Agreed, very cute! biggrin.gifThank you, yep, yep, yep! :)
I must say this has to be your best drawing of Cera I've seen so far.Thanks a bunch! :D I'm glad that I have got your favourite character right.
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 :)
I've gotta admit though Spikes colours is too dark.....
The only issue that I can see is that Spike is colored a bit too dark.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
I look forward to seeing what you have next. in-yes.gif I am especially looking forward to your first drawing without a reference.I'll say that much: The next one is from LBT 5, it has a background and Spike is on it again (I don't remember which of the two pencils I used here though :p). The rest you will have to see next sunday if I am able to keep my schedule ;)
No prob. Fair share now seeing as I've done soo many drawings of Ducky who you love soo much. ;)QuoteI must say this has to be your best drawing of Cera I've seen so far.Thanks a bunch! :D I'm glad that I have got your favourite character right.
Good too see Spike's colour isn't as dark this time..Yeah, used my other dark-green pencil that has a slightly different touch to it (but it's crappy :p). I bought a new set of coloured pencil on Friday and I'm pleased to find out how these colours work on the characters. :yes
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.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).
Wow! dino_wow.gif That is the best drawing yet!Awesome! :smile
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.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 ^^)
I can very easily see this picture being used as part of a 'Get Well Soon' card for any fan of the LBT flyers.Me too :)
Nice redraw.Thank you. :)
hough forgive me for the nitpick, but I noticed Cera's eye lids are orange, when really there yellow like the rings around her eyes.No prob. I'm happy if people point out my mistakes. In this case, I maybe shouldn't have paid that much attention to the colouring scheme on my reference picture :p
lso 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...
/QUOTE]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.

Thanks for your feedback :)
Nice picture & coloring. I can understand your not wanting to color the log. No biggie. After all the focus is Littlefoot & Cera, and not the log. And that is up to the artist also.Yeah you're completely right. Thanks :)
I have recently discovered that I can give the picture HD resulution on photobucket which considerably enhances the quality of my scans :yes It also improves the way colours look imo... It's always hard to find the right level of saturation. Seems like I've decided well, huh?Indeed. :yes The level of saturation on this drawing was about perfect.
Hmm. Forgive me but I have to I don't find this as good as your drawing of Cera bowing before Chomper.Well, always a matter of preferance ;) It's fine.
Also which scene from which film is it based from? I can tell its from one of the later sequels, but which one I don't know.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 :)

Don't stop what your doing!Lol don't worry! ;) It's doing what I love doing... if only I had more free time though... the final year of school can be so crazy... plus if there are a lot of things you do in your free time you'll never be able to do all of them at once :exactly
Awww, little Tricia! She just wubs her sister! She is ADORABLE! Both expressions are nice, too.Yeah, she's really adorable :D
Well while you did a good job with Tricia. I'm sorry to say that Cera doesn't look that great... Her back leg's are too small, her heads looks too big for her body and her frill is a bit wonky. Forgive me..It's alright :) The screencap is from the TV series so I might have copied these issues :angel
I like the new picture. I have to agree with Dalekdino about Cera's legs, but if you used a TV series episode as a reference then it is understandable where that issue came from. Some of the animation in the TV series was inconsistent to put it mildly.I'm glad that you like it :) Yeah... to put it mildly ;)
2nd pic of Ducky is like 1:1 to your profle pic - I see you really improved so far!Thank you! :)
Watched few of the series & felt like I'm a Ducky fan once again...
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.gif
And look on Littlefoot's face! dino_laugh.gif
Very nice. in-yes.gif It is a shame that Ruby has the mole on her neck though. dino_tongue.gif As for why the gang is disgusted at Chomper and the disappearance of Ducky, I fear that those two things might be related. dino_laugh.gif
Thank you :) One of my favourite sequels as well. It's that scene indeed (and I'm pretty sure it was your screenshot I used as a reference here ;))Yes it was me who posted the shot you based this off. Yes I must do more humanized scenes from LBT4 sometime soon and scenes from it with Bambo in them too.
This is a very nice drawing. :) BTW, from which scene is this image from?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.)
This is a very nice drawing. :) BTW, from which scene is this image from?I think it's from LBT 7 when they sleep in a cave, and walk up to see a pile of leafs.
I think it's from LBT 7 when they sleep in a cave, and walk up to see a pile of leafs.Yep, yep, yep! :exactly
This is a very nice drawing. smile.gif BTW, from which scene is this image from?Thanks, I'm glad you ike it :)
Yep, yep, yep! :exactly [/QUOTE]
Well, except for: I'm gonna post something new in the next few days I think so stay tuned in-yes.gifAdd 6 months to that :bang
Ah, had a feeling you might like this one ;) I'm happy that you do, yep, yep, yep! :yesJust wondering, did you get the idea to draw this from that icon of Cera I have on my profile info? As it's a shot of the same scene.
No, I just liked how cute Cera looked on that screenshot I found in the Caption This Forum so I wanted to draw that shot :pRight... Though I'm the one who posted that caption shot of Cera.
Yeah, you should. Seen some stuff on your DA page :)Yeah been preoccupied with art of my OCs..
Incredible, I never knew you made this good art!?Well, now you know! Thank you very much! :lol
Awesome! The expressions are spot-on, and the lines and coloring are very clean. I can tell that a lot of work went into this in-yes.gifThanks! It certainly was a lot of work and I'm glad it was worth it :p
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.Thanks a lot, glad you think so :exactly It IS frustrating very often to draw these guys but I mostly end up with results I can be more or less happy with so I upload them anyway :p
Very nice! smile.gif 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 expressioThanks, I haven't seen LBT 12 in quite a while but I think it was that scene you mentioned :p
it's beautiful!Thanks, Snik! :)
yep yep yep!
Those pictures you made are amazing, they are, they are!Thanks! :D
I like the drawings. You have skill. I do hope you continue drawing, coloring and sharing them here. Thanks for sharing these.Thanks :smile I'm really glad you think so, Kor. It's comments like these that really keep me motivated to do more. It's good good to know (all of) you like my work :)
Boy Ruby looks mad... I wonder who pissed her off? :lol: Were you using a frame from the TV series as reference?I guess it's from cave of many voices episode?
Nice, you do have skill. Those both are well done and colored. Hard decision I guess between hand or digital coloring.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 :)
Boy Ruby looks mad... I wonder who pissed her off? laugh.gif Were you using a frame from the TV series as reference?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)
they are good! well done!Thanks :D

Nice drawing of Littlefoot you made there! You made look cute! I love it!Thanks! :DD He's actually supposed to look a little sad/gloomy :p
NO!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)
not red-brown again!..
XD
love character you drew but can't accept his odd color from movie covers.
It's a good drawing I liked it a lot.Thanks :)
wow, their fight was so horrible, so Spike became orange and Ducky's face became even more distorted-shockedI'm glad you like it, thanks! :D
:D
like it!
It's a pretty good drawing again I liked itThanks :)
Wow amazing coloring. I love how you made Spike's back plate things red in-yes.gifThanks! The colouring took very long since Spike is... huge in this drawing. I didn't want to rush things though :)
That scene in the movie...pretty intense if you ask me
I have to be honest the digitally drawn Ducky looks rather crude....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!
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.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.
I thought it was made in MSPaint.Indeed, my first work using a computer program rather than good old pencils and paper :) I will try to do better next time.
I agree, it's crude. But as I understand, it's your first work in e-lineart?
Nice job I liked the colors you usedThanks, glad you like them :) I think they turned out a bit too bright but it could be worse.
Nice one!Thanks! ^^spike
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.QuoteAlso sorry fir nit giving feed back on your last art.

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
Not bad, the line art looks very good land_before_time8_disneyscreencaps_com_2484_by_rockingscorpion-d9nxkr0.png I think the digital drawing could have been better, her colour just seems to bright but if you keep persisting then you might actually get very good at this yep, yep, yep.Thanks :D
o me it looks very good well drawn. I really enjoyed it a lot you did very on drawing it.Thanks :)
why Ducky keeps strangle poor Petrie? XDAs Ducky would say... poor, poor Petrie :p Glad you like it :)
awesome!
Nice work even though I find the I smell Ducky scene pretty awkward. Even when I was a kid... And there's a colour error on Ducky's eyes.Thanks :)
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..QuoteNice work even though I find the I smell Ducky scene pretty awkward. Even when I was a kid... And there's a colour error on Ducky's eyes.Thanks :)
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...
Anyway, I have a new drawing... and it happens to be something I still owe you, dalekdino :angel
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.
Anyway, I really hope you like this drawing and stay tuned for more (though my next upload will probably be non-LBT ^^spike)
An amazing job you did on this picture. The colors are fantastic and are perfect for this drawing. It's such a awesome picture you made.Thanks a lot! :)
Is it for me, or with each new picture you draw better? biggrin.gifHmm, I don't know... but I guess so :lol I'm glad you like this drawing too ^^spike
it must be evolving your skills smile.gif
nice
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.I'll remember that next time I draw her with semi-closed eyes :yes
Ah I'd actually forgotten about that request I made over a year ago.Yeah, it was the prize for that one contest I held back in winter 2015 that you entered with this cute drawing of Littlefoot and Ali meeting underneath a mistletoe... if I remember correctly :p I had a lot of fun drawing this scene, it's a really good one, that's why I'm thanking you :)
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 tooYep, yep, yep! I was being especially careful when drawing her tootsies since I knew you'd like them most ^^spike I'm happy that you like the drawing too, thanks :)
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. The perspective in Spike's back may not be ideal but otherwise this picture works rather well. smile.gif It's always nice to see the pictures getting better and better!Thank you very much! :lol
[Ah I remember now. Yes it as. Drawing of Littlefoot and Ali along with Cera and my OC Bambo under misaltoe.QuoteI ad a feeling it maybe because Ducky had her eyes half closed in that frame.

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 :)
Thanks for the kind words, guys :)You kiddin? That's like saying a baby seal is scary when it's mad hahaha
Ducky is scary indeed when she is mad :p
Nice one of a not so jolly Ducky. I can picture her saying " You upsetted my little brother! You did you did!"Thanks :)
BTW What film and scene is the shot in your new profile icon from?
It seems AdFan really wants his post was last post in each possible thread in forum. biggrin.gif:rolleyes:
</offtop>
@Ducky: Do you want draw some scenes from your own fanfictions? wink.gifI'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. dino_laugh.gif 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).Thanks, I'm glad you like it, Sovereign ^^spike
Aww don't cry Cera.. seriously I don't give a crap what Cera haters say. I feel sorry for her in this scene. I know what it's like to have Dick move pranks pulled on youaww, bitchy threehorn is sad because she's pranked?
Jesus Sink! :blink: I didn't strictly mean you personally, I was referring to people who don't like Cera in general.. I don't want a bloody war or trouble.... and what do you mean like her paradox?Quote from: Dalekdino,Jun 28 2017 on 05:14 PMAww don't cry Cera.. seriously I don't give a crap what Cera haters say. I feel sorry for her in this scene. I know what it's like to have Dick move pranks pulled on youaww, bitchy threehorn is sad because she's pranked?
I got your point, Cera's fan. :p Our war will be endless!!! :lol
And yeah, considered my position towards Cera, yeah, I would call myself Cera's hater. Still, I like her. paradox. ^^spike
that was joke about war, lol. :pThank god for . Well as you've probably seen , I'm one of those who actually likes Cera, and thinks she's just very misunderstood. and fouces more on the positive things she's done.
though I still thought you responded to me.
Thing is I'm really some kind of Cera's hater (first movie), and Cera's "huuuuuuge disliker" (sequels), but that's ok.
paradox is - being Cera's disliker, with years, I started to like Cera's character.
Signatures tell everything. :pWell sorry for having a different opinion.... This is one of the main reasons I don't comment on stuff much on this site anymore :(petrie
I know who are you, and who LittlefootFan is, etc. :3
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
*accidentally notices thread's name*
oops. Some offtopic discssion. *blushes*
Great!!! You deserved it, stupid threehorn girl!Glad you like it, Snik :)
</>
love it! :)
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. smile.gif As for your next drawing, could it be Ducky's reaction to Petrie's expected death?Thanks! Not sure about the leg but I tried to stay rather close to the original pose here :unsure:
Aww don't cry Cera.. seriously I don't give a crap what Cera haters say. I feel sorry for her in this scene. I know what it's like to have Dick move pranks pulled on youYeah, we already talked about it on DeviantArt. I don't quite agree with your view point but I understand and respect yours of course :)
Excellent job on your picture of Cera when she is sad. I'm starting to get the inspiration to draw Land Before Time characters after looking at fanart on this site and DeviantArt.Thanks a lot! :)littlefoot Would like to see what you can come up with :)
Awesome as always, dude smile.gifMuch appreciated! ;)
Man, the way you drew the speedometer is amazing. I never took you for such a big photobucket extortion fan! (I'm sorry please don't kill me dino_laugh.gif)*throws punches at you* nah I'm kidding ^^spike
I managed to take a quick glance of your picture when you first uploaded it but I'll wait until I can look at it again properly before I make any further comments on it.Yeah, I found a replacement for photobucket so I'll replace it in a bit.
nooooooooooo*pulls Ducky into a big hug* ^^spike
T-T
Don't cry, Ducky...
You did a great job with the expression! smile.gif 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! in-yes.gifThank you very much! :)
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.Thanks! Yeah, Cera isn't easy to draw... all the details :p although I struggle less with her than I do with Spike who's actually quite easy to draw...
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
Though it seems the more I want to learn, the harder it getsThat 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.
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. dino_laugh.gifYes, 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
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.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
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.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
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.gif I don't know the problems with drawing her but Littlefoot looks much better here. smile.gifIt'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.
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 todayI 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.
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 lotThis 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.
Would anybody mind if I posted them? Could really need some advice here and there, I guessYea if you're uncertain than I'll gladly take a look.
I think I also recall colouring this while lying in my bed... what was I thinking?!I actually like doing that myself, generally at night before going to bed.
or just blushing because he has a crush?Wh-what!? Me have to hold her hands!? :oops
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.Yes totally :D
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.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
I like the fact that Littlefoot's head is lowered, he clearly doesn't like what he's hearing and/or regrets what happened.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.
It's nice to see more art from you even if this one... isn't nearly your best.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
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.
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 :celebrateThanks! It helped motivate me as well so it ended up being mutually beneficial and I'd be happy to do so again. :cheers
Hey here it is and oof you weren't kidding about the text. :lol
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
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! :DDHey, I'm glad you like the drawing :D
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.Thanks for your review Levente! :D
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!
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 :)
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 ^^Did not know that. Will be handy for the future, thanks!
