I might as well make another attempt to find people on these boards with like interests. Does anyone here sketch at all? I just got into it this year, but I have so far only done one sketch. I only ever practiced every now and then in my school art class, and never had tried it at home before. So I decided to sit down with a drawing pad one day and give it a try. To say the least, it turned out very well and made me want to try another one. For those who may be wondering what I drew, I sketched from a nude picture of Gillian Anderson that I found on the Internet. And why Gillian Anderson? Because I find her to be very beautiful artistically. Currently I am unable to find a new subject to draw, so my sketching is on hold for the time being. I will eventually continue it when I am able to find a new subject. So, anyone else out there like to sketch?

yes, but I like to scetch...BUILDING porn. Naked steel. oooooh! Sorry, I have not had much sleep and brain is turning into pudding. Need to eat. I sketch my inventions/ideas/stuff. I have a couple of interesting ideas for artistic pieces if I ever get into art. You just have to do so dang much to get anywhere. I also have some ideas of economics that I have sketched in picture format. So in answer to your question, no. -------------------- Tip of the Day: #15 Wash your hands!! That's skrange.

Occasionally I sketch things, but I haven't for quite a while. I was going to ask if you had a scanner so you could show your drawings, but then I read what your subject was and decided against it :P . Also, Peculiar James, building porn isn't all that far-fetched. As people from TCoA will probably know, there is a really weird girl at my school who drew furniture porn (along with Teletubbie porn...) when she was mad at a friend of mine. >_< [ Friday, September 17, 2004 19:19: Message edited by: xxo ] -------------------- Chance Forums I was once member #2475, but then my account was deleted because of a bug.

I sketch, mostly cats and dragons. At some point I want to try a platypus. As for what I'd suggest to sketch, sketch animals and mythical beasts :D Or you could get a family member/friend(I hope you're friends with at least one person in your family) to model for you. Or you could use sketching as an excuse to travel(but do you really need one?) and draw what you see. You could go through photographs and magazines and try to draw from them. Or you could close your eyes, picture yourself flying over an imaginary place and every once in a while go in closer and look at what you see. That last one sounds weird, but I've gotten good results from it. I've seen a dragon, a house with a purple roof and a cool door, and really big tree. Okay, that's it. -------------------- If anyone ever asks you why you did something, say "Because I could". Posts: 834 | Registered: Thursday, July 8 2004 07:00 |

I sketch all the time. Subjects mostly include the following: chicas, MechWarrior mechs, chicas, fantasy dudes, chicas. Chica sub-subjects: my girlfriend, cyper-punk chicas, steam-punk chicas, western-punk chicas, modeling chicas. I'd upload some pictures for you all to gaze at, but I don't have a scanner anymore. If you'll buy me one, I'll gladly show you my wonderful skills. -------------------- The critics agree! Demonslayer is "a five star hit!" raves TIMES Weekly!

I only sketch when I have to kill time. And then only if I have a nice, simple idea. If I take my time and really try, I can make some pretty good sketches, but I don't have that long of an attention span. ;) -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

The first sketch was a very good beginning sketch, MSW. Why not find more pictures of the same person, or find pictures of a new subject? I think you could become a very good artist, with time and practice. -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon Polaris = joy.

I sketch people. A lot. When I was five my uncle worked printing business forms and gave my family boxes and boxes of white printer paper. I used to use them all up drawing all-purple marker comic-type stories with twisted plotlines involving two princesses named M'rose and M'cherry. M'rose was cool, but M'cherry was a little twit and I killed her off eventually. Then her ghost came back to antagonize M'rose, who just wanted to live alone in her tower. Her tower had a glass lake around it, on which rowed big pink ice cream boats. It was awesome. And she wasn't entirely alone. She had a cat. Named Cat. But she really hated M'cherry, who always wanted her to come and play. M'rose hated all people, actually. She threw knives at them. Now I sketch real people. I like to go downtown wearing sunglasses and draw people in the market or stores and stuff. Sometimes the stores give me free food when I draw them. I think they feel sorry for the little girl downtown all alone. Or something. I buy magazines with three hundred pages of ads (Vogue and Vanity Fair are good) so I can draw models. Models are awesome to draw, particularly when they're all contorting their bodies and wearing face-distorting make up or there's soft lighting or they have complicated clothes on. Gucci ads are good, so are Yves Saint Laurent. Other companies vary. I have seven large cardboard boxes full of model drawings. Those are only the ones I've kept. So yeah, I like sketching. Only people, though. -------------------- fame fame fatal fame it can play hideous tricks on the brain Posts: 407 | Registered: Friday, May 14 2004 07:00 |

I've taken to sketching little comics whenever an amusing idea strikes me. Of course, like any amatuer comic-drawer, there are no recurring characters. Except Barry the Clown. But I won't go into that. If anyone really cares (and if I care enough to figure out how my scanner works) then I'll upload a few. Unfortunately they're all drawn in pencil and on lined paper. Only recently have I started inking my "art", and inking the text is a real pain. -------------------- You're a moron if you think I'm not. Posts: 213 | Registered: Friday, March 26 2004 08:00 |

It's interesting that just about anyone who gives themself any artistic credit will say that they love sketching and are very good at it. I like to sketch things when I feel like it, whether it be people or inanimate objects. Chairs are nice subjects, and I think the largest scale sketch I have ever done was on a park. I sometimes shade in my favorite ones, but since I don't sketch that often, not many even make it to the shading stage. Faces are annoying for me, so I get out of drawing them somehow. That said, I am very bad at sketching. -------------------- What do I put here? -Garrison Posts: 1415 | Registered: Thursday, March 27 2003 08:00 |

I've never actually just sat there and sketched at random - I always have at least some kind of a formative idea of what I want to draw, even if it's an incredibly vauge blur of color and outlines in my mind. -------------------- Digital Neko - more nekojin per capita than you can beat senseless!

I once sketched a dream I had. If memory serves, it's still on a hentai site somewhere... ¬_¬ -------------------- 人 た ち を 燃 え る た め に 俺 は か れ ら に 火 を 上 げ る か ら 死 ん だ Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Haha. Er... I sketch dreams all the time. They normally end up being surreal still-lifes. My fiance designs clothes for a living, so she gets me to draw stuff that would look good. Leaves lots of room for, uh... imagination :D . -------------------- The critics agree! Demonslayer is "a five star hit!" raves TIMES Weekly! "I've never heard such thoughtful comments.

I like to sketch caves and contour maps. one time i sketched a really cool cave scene in like 3rd grade and wrote a cool story to go with it. I think my 3rd grade teacher still has it. b/c i dont. I bought a really cool pen to sketch with. then it broke, the clip part, so it doesn't look as cool anymore. -------------------- Tip of the Day: #15 Wash your hands!! That's skrange.

*lacks drawing talent entirely* Actually, I can draw a reasonably good still-life given 6 hours or so. But it's not really worth it. I have great respect for those who can just pull out a pencil and a pad and make a person 2-dimensional within a matter of minutes. -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon Polaris = joy.
