    Nope. It was just backstory. But you have a brilliant idea and if I had time I wish I made that the ending. That is utterly perfect. By the way, my game got #25 in humor out of 1400 people! Individual rankings are on the game's main page. DRAWINGS

    Click the window again to exit through the window - probably should have made this more obvious!

    I participated in Ludum Dare just now, which is a 48-hour game-making contest. Anyway, you can check out my entry (and its ludum dare page). It was mainly an exercise in drawing really fast + writing + programming all at the same time. A lot of it is inspired by Homestuck! (Try to do this in...

    i might go back and digitally color in some of these... but i'm getting a little lazy with the wacom, oops!

    This isn't my first time drawing, but it's the first time I ever got serious about it. I can show you my really old art (as in, when I first got a wacom then gave up drawing because I wasn't good at it) if you like. Anyway. 1 month update. I've settled into my new place and it has a huge desk...

    so... the apartment i was renting for a year got foreclosed to the bank and the bank is bullying me into 100% moving out in 2 weeks. for the next few weeks i'm scrambling to find a new place to live + scheduling moves, so my motivation to do anything besides that is kind of low :-/ i don't have...

    Haha. I definitely have a long way to go still. See this post! I sort of backpedalled in quality since I spent ~4x less less time on each picture. If you hate sketches, there is a mediocre colored picture at the end. My faces take way too long to get right, so I've been practicing...

    Wow, pretty good response to come home to! Thanks, this made my day! wip for above (i actually like the eyes/face better here...) Cleaning stuff up takes a really long time for me (that took 1.5 hours to clean up) but hopefully it gets faster!! Next on my fundamentals list is practicing...

    For those who want to keep count, this is day 27. I'm having trouble capturing the person -- the sketch looks good, but it isn't the person. I guess that probably comes with practice though. faces pkmn rando

    I'm really glad I'm inspiring people. That's one of the other goals I hoped to accomplish by making this thread. :) I figured out why my faces looked retarded: proportions. So I need to practice proportions specifically, and faces seem like a really good way to do that (?) (and I get better...

    Okay, I skipped a bunch of days but I'm making up for it now! More later. fundamentals Face sketches Any tips on making the person not look retarded? I think it's the combination of teeth/mouth/wide-open eyes. I'm going to try some more faces and pay special attention to those areas...

    Ah. Yeah, that makes sense, ssbbm. So it's probably a good idea to practice some still life/basic spheres/cubes. (I just noticed I haven't really drawn any.) As for the hair -- if you see the picture in this post, I sort of did what you said on the last woman. Let me know if I'm in the general...

    I guess I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. I made this thread to document my journey in illustration, which is mainly practicing the fundamentals. That's why there are so many more drawings of "boring" people than there are of stylized people. I was sketching Nami on a friend's...

    Thanks for the comments, guys, it means a lot! My hand is pretty tired from all this sketching. I tried one of those 1 hour long "lessons" in wick's link which turned out just to be several 30-second figures then 1-minute then 5/10/30. You can pretty much tell which is which. Other...
