Spheres are especially good, methinks, cause the shapes of a person's face are composed of round/er lines. And I think the exercise is just meant for you to understand that if a sphere is to look like a sphere, you really do have to shade a lot, otherwise, it will look like a circle.

It will also help you understand that many times, when you are shadding, the direction of the lines in your shadding with makes all the difference: if you make them rounder, it will look round; if you make it straight, the surface will look plane, etc.

That will be something you'll notice when shadding spheres vs cubes: the lines tend to be paralel to the shape and that makes a big difference.

C-ya!

Yeah - it's funny when you hear the same thing from different people - and reassuring!

I understand, I'll definietly get practising too! Thank you - this is really helping a lot!
I have to sort of restrain myself in our art lessons when I see people shading really badly with like, big bands of grey like a fading stripe - it's a little scary! But then not a lot of people in my form like doing art [although they look at mine a lot... and roll their eyes]. It'll be better next year when we're set for GCSE.

Mmm... book reviews... it would help if the last time I read the book hadn't been last year though.

Black, your stuff is so good.

I finally got an evboard account

BlackMagic · 06-23-2005, 12:48 AM

Yay! It was really wierd when I saw your name - I was like, "Am I on the right site?!!".
Thank you!
Check out Kate's (Ice Queen) stuff -
http://evboard.com/showthread.php?t=24500

I just scanned this and made it smaller in Paint o.0; I'll post it again, better when the internet is fixed.

I just feel I need to post something - I've been very un-productive recently. I'm blaming that completely on school and the whole learning thing.
I have been shading spheres though!
And I found this cool thing that I did in RE, so that'll be up soon.
I guess I could just do them on the PC, put 'em on a CD-RW... whatever.

Lol.

Wow, her stuff is amazing...

BlackMagic · 06-23-2005, 02:55 PM

SoundOfSilence - Yeah - I do need to, "take the risk"!
However, I was scanning the other bits in, and I have realised that part of the blame lies with the scanner - it comes out a lot paler than it really is, but yes, I need to go darker.
All of those have been done with my beloved Derwent .sketching pencils. I got all in a panick the other day because my 5B is about 4 inches long... then I realised that I actually have three of them... all 4 inches long...
Yesterday though, I went into town to the Early Learning Centre to see if they had the tin of colouring pencils my Godmother gave to about 7 years ago

(Best pencils I've ever had) but they didn't

So I went to Annettes and spent £5 on arty things I don't really need. I got those graphite pencils with no wood on them. No 5Bs though.

Cry - I know! Her custom title used to be "Teh female Orgo".

So I'm trying to write the images to a CD, but our computer is spacking up again. I will get them up though, promise.

My sister's watching the Lion King - that's why I'm on - I cried! Again!

BlackMagic · 06-24-2005, 12:39 AM

I finally got them onto a disk!
Definitel partly the scanner's fault -

I was just sitting in my room and needed to draw sommat.
I started colouring it in Photoshop, so we'll see what happens.

That was just something I doodled in RE. I have a feeling it was in a revision lesson, but people thought it was really cool, so that makes it OK!

I use Derwent too... cause I was given a set of them. I am lazy to use them though.
We call the pecils with no wood "graphite sticks" but I don't know if that's what you guys call it. They're really good for large surfaces (hehe, you'll find that a 3B will do the job of you 5B pencil). Sharpening and drawing details is a hassle, and I don't think you can erase them either. But they're cool to work with

Yeah... Katya called her that and I gave her the user tittle. She diserves it!!! Unfortunately... I don't think the new system allows me to change it back cause there's no store anymore.

C-ya!

Vampyyri · 06-24-2005, 12:35 PM

wow! I love the second one! pretty good!....great job that you did there,na!....wait.....all of them are great!

BlackMagic · 06-26-2005, 08:27 AM

Thanks atenuix!

I think Will's done now.
The scanner is now completely fucked though!

Narya - Yeah, I think that's what we call them.
I haven't needed to sharpen them yet though! I didn't have any problems rubbing out. We'll have to see what happens.The problem is that I don't really know anyone else as interested in art as I am - I have to talk to my parent's friends about it. My current DT teacher and her husband are both very arty, it's strange seeing her around school!

I posted one of he pictures for this before the crash thing - everyone had to write a childrens story for an IT project at school, based on the poem, "The Lady of Shallot".
It was un-doubtably the best project I've ever done at school, so without further ado, this is the story of Little Meggy Shallot and the Very Big Jar of Yummy Cookies.

1) One day, little Meggy Shallot found a very big jar of yummy cookies.
So she took the very big jar of yummy cookies to the corner of the kitchen, sat down and started to eat.

2) A few minutes later her friends found her.

"Can we have one of your yummy cookies, please?" they asked.
Little Meggy Shallot thought for a moment, then said, "NO, they're mine. All mine. Go away."

3) Her friends were very said, and started crying.
They were crying so much that Meggy's mother and father came in, took the cookies away and sent her to the naughty cupboard under the stairs.

4) After Meggy had been crying for quite a while in the naughty cupboard, a tiny, sparkly fairy appeared.

"Why are you crying, Meggy?" asked the fairy.

5) "I found a very big jar of yummy cooks but I didn't let my friends have any." Meggy sobbed.
The dairy flew up to her shoulder.
"That was a very selfish thing to do Meggy - you should always share with your friends."
Meggy sniffed, "What should I do? I made them cry."
"I think you should say sorry to them and share your cookies with them,"
And with that, the fairy smiled her sparkly smile and disappeared in a shimmery, "POOF"

6)

So Little Meggy skipped out of the naughty cupboard under the stairs and went to find her friends...

7) "I'm sorry for not letting you have any of my cookies," she said.
They smiled, "That's OK," they said, forgiving her.
So her mother and father gave her the very big jar of yummy cookies back...

8) And they all ate happily ever after...

Heehee, my primitve Photoshopping skills

My friend had a dress just like that

What a cute story! I had to study the lady of shallot last year. In my opinion, it's a great poem..but then again i'm a poetry whore and I like pretty much anything!

What i'd say for your story images - is to scan in your pencil drawings and go over the lines in photoshop on a new layer, rather than colouring with the pencil lines still intact. This makes it alot smoother and overall looks more professional. I often draw cartoons (anime/manga) and find that neater lines give a nicer final image.

I adore the third pencil image of Amy, the one with ribbons in her hair. It looks exactly like her, and does so with what looks like effortless charm. You have alot of talent for your age. When I was 14 my pencil realism wasn't as good as yours is now. Keep it up!
