i actually used a hard rubber for a nice hard edge to get some sharp rub marks.
amazing how much rubber you get through when you press hard with your 'rounded' end and repeatedly attack the 'sharp' end with your stanley knife!

That literally is pretentiousness taken to an officially recognised olympic sport.Still, nice strip though, although some of the smaller text was a bit hard to read.

I'm afraid I'm not really a (*resists urge to say art fag*) one to take active interest in the arts.It's more of a passive appreciation than anything.
But the bash is on the 31st so I'm sure you can force everyone to go see it, or put it up on the b3ta calendar or something.

trust methis is about a level 4 of pretentiousness (on a scale of 1-10) at my art college.
this is why i'm escaping to bournemouth to do animation next year...
as for adding to the b3ta calendar.
no thanks.
i get called a cunt enough as it is on here...

well i'm only on foundationso we got to try a bit of everything, and then i chose fine art media.
it's a good place yeah, BUT you have to be the right sort of person to go there.
as much as most of b3ta thinks i'm a pretentious fool, i actually can't stand it there.
it's the kinda place where technical skill is almost discouraged, because it's all about 'the idea'.
which infuriates me, becauce the concept is only half the battle. it takes a lot of skill to actually Make it.
but in terms of being 'the place to be' it's great
because there's lot of oppurtunities to get your name out there, make connections, which is basically what the art world is really all about.
especially if you want to do something commercial like making band covers and posters.

Humm...that all doesn't surprise me, oddly. I went to the museum there one time. It was alright, really. Some...odd stuff there. Heheh.

I had a friend who was going to go to St Martins, or the Imperial School of art is it? Fuck knows it was one of the good ones (I have no knowledge of universities or art schools).Then he ended up deferring, doing a cram year of biology and chemistry and then going to university to be a doctor, I never knew why though.
He was sort of inbetween, where he would have some fairly flippant and strange reasoning but the product would always be good. Like massive oil paintings of Saddam Hussein surrounded by rotting meat and stuff.

mmmmnice stuff
i dont really like using graphics tablets
i like to be able to see the pencil marks coming From the pen.
but one thing.
were those drawn freehand?
cause i'm always suspicious of people using computer programs who can draw accurately like that.

I'm not sure what you meanby freehand. With a tablet you either drew it or you didn't and if you didn't then I guess you used software to do it for you. I do trace stuff and I do use photo reference but every strike is done by hand.
As for accurate? the things I posted are hardly technically accurate, very far from it.
You can make some nice drawings with a tablet if you put your mind to it and not have people who prefer graphite look down their noses at you. Tablets are just cleaner and facilitate a faster way of working.

no noyou misunderstand
i'm not looking down my nose at you
it's just that with a computer cheating is a lot easier. but then that's not to say it isn't a skill.
it's just one i don't really enjoy cause i can't get the hang of it.
i agree it's much easier and cleaner.
assuming you know the program well. i always get frustrated by not being able to do things i could do in less than three seconds with a pencil and paper... but i guess that's just learning the software.
what i meant by freehand was... do you start with a blank canvas and start drawing on it, or do you put some stuff in as a background layer and trace over it.
which isn't to say tracing detracts from it at all, it just becomes a different set of skills. for example exemplifying the hair like in your picture here to give an unnatural effect, but a nice one nonetheless (assuming you traced this one... i dont know...)

It depends what I'm doing.I do draw from my mind's eye. I'm working on some concept characters right now and have my anatomy books scattered about.
quick things like seascapes and landscapes don't take a minute to brush in either photoshop or anything else and I can knock them out all day.
Portraits I will trace the basics because it is quicker, more precise and I do it for the result and not an excersise in how well I can observe something.
My days of art class are long, long behind me.
I know what you mean with frustration at not knowing a program well enough to get the result you want. I was like that with photoshop for years before I decided to get to grips with it.
I'm currently being frustrated with Maya but I will work on it, especially having seen that this guy uses it to base his fantastic work on.

wellas much as you can instantly get something nice looking if you trace
it's more about training your eye
it's kind've essential for Anyone doing visual art of any kind.
if you can draw perfectly freehand, it's not that you have a pointless skill that can be undermined by tracing... it just allows you to do everything better.
i'd recomend life drawing to photographers.
but they look at me funny :)
also that IS some mighty nice drawing!
although people like that just make we want to give up with their stupid mastery :(
mind you... i AM only 20... this guy's probably been practising a while longer than me...

I'm 42and have been drawing technically for my work for years.
I can sketch well, and I can paint in any number of mediums. I just don't.
All it comes down to now is a little hobby and I make pictures to please me and if someone else happens to like them then all the better.
