Either I'm really stoopid or you are.
If someone has the ability to put on paper with pencil or pen... a rendering and create something..... that's considered drawing from scratch so to speak. Sure, you can look at a picture and draw from it. Done that myself many times for gridding out small drawings to make into large ones. Although at some point you are adding the touch of a pencil, marker pen or something, you then scan it in and tweak it. Nothing really wrong with that, either, unless you take the credit for the original and pass it off as being your own creation. Simply tracing or blowing up is not drawing... at least not in my book.
The main reason for my observations are quite few and simple. It doesn't take a lot to see through things.
If you had the artistic ability to do what you say you're doing, you wouldn't have such obviously bad drawings overlooking some of the most basics of drawing 101.
- You have several light sources.
- You use far too many styles/techniques which none of them are at all your own.
- Your use of elements in one design doesn't follow suit with another design.
- In other words.... you're all over the place and it looks like a clear use of borrowing of many works being compiled into your homemade version.
- The other day, you had a tiger with human eyes and walrus whiskers. Even in cartoon effect, you didn't notice it... or comment on it.
- Taking poetic license is one thing, but doing things wrong, having them pointed out to you and your denying and getting all full of yourself.... why should anyone want to help you ??
Kinda like a Frankenstein... and we all know how that turned out.
It's far easier to help someone that is being honest and on the level. Then... and only then can we help you. That is where the teaching/suggesting/help can begin.... once we know your true capabilities. Until then, we don't know where you're coming from.I'm sorry if I have you pegged wrong, but if you'd like to talk to me in private or convince me, it will only take a few minutes. I'll gladly retract any or all of my statements towards you at that point.
I posted a pic of the hand drawn tiger you spoke of. It may not be good, I may not be a great artist like you, but I'm doing the best I can and I'm here to try and get better. I considering drawing with a stylus a form of art just like a pencil. I don't feel the need to convince you of anything. If you don't like it don't open my posts. I'm not being dishonest and I admit I don't know all the right terms yet. But I will get better. Sorry if you didn't like the design but it is what my customer likes.
