Wow, I didn't even know Ichigos had this forum... Awesome! :lol:
:sweat:
Okiedokie, It seems like everyone else is making a new thread with their art, and I don't see a thread for everyone to put their art in it, so I'll go with this:

OLD ART:

This would be a sketch, just a doodle of boredom. Don't shoot me if it's not perfect :P :

This is my own character:

Not quite sure what to call this. It's pretty much self explanatory. :heh:
Don't ask what the thing is. I don't know. Aaaand... Don't ask why her bottom half isn't there. I don't know that either. XD
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g277/Reina_4/wtfmusicresave.jpg

Decided to keep with the previous characters. ^_^

NEW ART:

This was a copied pose from a book, but I was using it for wing practice.
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g277/Reina_4/AngelScan.jpg

This, is one I'm really proud of, though I know there's something wrong with her face... not sure what it is though.
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g277/Reina_4/MermaidScan.jpg

Yes, I know I messed up on her face, but I tried to use the mistake to my advantage. Watercolors are so unforgiving...

Good job! =) i really like the third one!

Good job! =) i really like the third one!

Me too.


Do you guys like them?

I liketh them all!

My favorite is the last one. Amazing job.

Thanks guys ^_^

Wow, they're really good!! ^_^ The last one is so cool!

They're all very lovely! Great job.

i like them! i got a tablet for my birthday in 2005, but i've never really got the handle of computer drawing that way.. i actually used do to it just by my touchpad. but mainly i draw with regular pencil and paper ^^; you're also great at coloring!

Thanks.

Glad you all like them. Usually I use this 3-d program on the computer called DAZ to make the models, then I sketch it on paper... then color on Photoshop CS2. Every now and then I use Corel Essentials Painter 2... ^_^

Feel free to give me some criticism if you all have it.
:sweat:

Edit: Yeah I've got a tablet too. It's a wacom. ^_^

Those are very nice! Keep it up. :)

I like the grass, it looks really real~

Wow, you guys are alot more generous on critism than other forums I've shown :lol: :sweat:

It's really good. You have ways with colors.

Okiedokie, I've got a new one... I'm not as proud of it as the one before... but still here it is!

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g277/Reina_4/Reinarpsfin-1.jpg

Thanks everyone! ^_^

I'm glad you all enjoy them.

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g277/Reina_4/Photo_081506_001.jpg

Her body looks rather small in comparison to her head. A few little flaws here and there, but everything else looks great. Good job! :)

Oh, I was talking about this one. :heh:

Thank you very much then :lol:

Hey there, ^_^
I just wanted to say beautiful drawings. However the last one won't show up for me but I'm sure it's breath taking considering it's your most resent, your proud of it, and that everyone else likes it too. Take care and God bless.

I do actually plan to color this one... but this should hold you all over till I do that ^_^

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g277/Reina_4/Selena.jpg

Wow, you guys are alot more generous on critism than other forums I've shown :lol: :sweat:

Oh don't worry you will see more. I just got an easel for my b-day :D

Just thought I'd put this here too. It's in the contest thingy... but yeah...

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g277/Reina_4/Fallfairyfinaltxt.jpg

Well, I personally liked the fairy very much. Good job on this, it's very nice. ^_^

Thanks!

Does anyone have any mistakes to point out? Problems? Thinks you don't like? Tips? Criticism? I'd like to know your honest opinion. I mean it!


(ps. don't forget to vote for me in the art contest!)

I think you made the faerie's waist a smidgen too wide.

It's really purty!

Y know I would say thing like this is ok but, Your work is AMAZING! There is nothing wrong with it. I LOVE IT!!! :D

Gosh thanks guys. :]

Okie dokie. Sorry it took so long. Anyway, I don't have many new computer graphics but I have some things I did in art class. :/



http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g277/Reina_4/Bottle.jpg
This one turned out really well. It's just an exercise.

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g277/Reina_4/IMG_1654.jpg
This one was ruined by the camera. It really doesn't look like it's at a tilt. ><

Haha good shading, cup looks a little out of shape.

Alrighty, well I'm back from my massively long creative block. :heh:

I play a game (Phantasy Star Universe) and this is one of my friend's character:

Annnddd this is my own character:

^_^

Ahaha...I laughed when I saw the mermaid...sorry...:sweat:

but it did get better...
cool:thumb:

hey. you've gotta better between now and then. keep up the good work.

Wow, you're really good at drawing anime peoples.
I suck at it ... x|
I like the one where the guy's sitting in the grass. It's super cute!

Thanks guys. :] I guess that long drawing hiatus actually did me some good...

dang it all...i wish i could show my art to ya guys...i've gotta better since the last time i posted an thread...well i'm glad that i could see your art...I'll watch you improve through the years.

Alrighty... well...

Not quite sure what to call this. It's pretty much self explanatory.
Don't ask what the thing is. I don't know. Aaaand... Don't ask why her bottom half isn't there. I don't know that either... XD

(I just didn't feel like drawing it actually. :heh: )

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g277/Reina_4/wtfmusicresave.jpg

that's very cute :D mmm the top of the eyes is missing eye lash and eyelid :O
but it's cute neverthe less :D
I like it

Decided to keep with the previous characters. ^_^

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g277/Reina_4/WTFirritatejpg.jpg

Haha. Well. Here's a new one. It was a doodle.

But I thought it was to cute not to share.

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g277/Reina_4/IMG_2094.jpg


[edit: It was done... on my math notes... I didn't understand them. XD]

You know, five years down the road, when you look at those math notes again, you're going to crack up laughing. I know I would if I saw something like that.

This is an illustration I made for my birthday party invitations. :]

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g277/Reina_4/inviteartworkCOLOR.jpg

^_^

Cute ^_^

simple and nice.. ;)

I know I haven't been on here much, so I thought I'd update you on the latest work I've done.

I've been doing more writing than drawing lately, but here's two I just finished. I'm actually really proud of them.




For this one, I used a pose in a book I have, and it was just practice for wings.

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g277/Reina_4/AngelScan.jpg



I can tell something's wrong with the face on this one, but I just can't figure out what it is.... But I'm very proud of it anyways. :]

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g277/Reina_4/MermaidScan.jpg

Hope you all are well. :lol:

the fin in the second one looks awesome! great work :)

Add some colours to the mermaid!

Okay I love all of your works, and I think I know what is wrong with the mermaid's face...it looks to manly...I think what you need to do is bring the nose up a little bit and that might help some...otherwise everything else is great:D

the fin in the second one looks awesome! great work :)
:D thanks! I'm really proud of the fins specifically.


Add some colours to the mermaid!
I actually painted a mermaid last friday, I'm waiting for my scanner to start behaving before I post it up here.

I think you're right. For some reason, I tend to do that a lot. haha noses are not my strongpoint.

Well yeah as I said everything else is great and you should just tweak that little part and I think it will look more like...a woman:lol:

Alright, Since I was asked to color it, I did a watercolor of a different drawing.

Now, keep in mind I TOTALLY screwed up on the coloring of her face, but I did my best to use the mistake to my advantage. Watercolors are so unforgiving.

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g277/Reina_4/MermaidandBaby.jpg


Let me know what you guys think :D

NICE!!!!
OHOH!! the mermaid has a baby in her arms!!! how cute!!! ^_^
your background is cool! i like the browny-khaki thingy in the background, looks awesome!
hmmm, im guessing you made those light dots on the background by putting more water there?

I like watercolours... but i always mess up with them :sweat:
hehe... i can never do what you did with watercolours

i really like it, especially the effects on the scales! great work, in my opinion :)
.. and i agree with you about watercolors, they can be utterly frustrating at times.

The "browny-khaki thingy" was actually a happy mistake. My brother was trying to steal my brushes, and he knocked over my tanish paint that I was using for the skin colors onto the painting... and of course I grabbed for the paper towel immediately, but it still left a mark. :sweat: haha You can see it to the right of her head, and to the bottom left of the page.

and yes, I did use water to make the dots. I meant to make them seem more like bubbles, but liked the effect of it just as it was.

Thanks so much! Yeah, I find watercolors to be extremely frustrating if you fuss about all the little things. I just tried to make the best of the mistakes. :D

LOL! that's soo cool!!!
I reckon the browny thing looks great... some extra-special effect ^_^

that's the best way of coping with it, it looks great in your paintings :)

I know I am probably going to ruin you vibe of good comments, but...there were a few things, different:heh:The arms seamed to long for the body and the chest area is a little too big, making the face look smaller than it is. Other wise from the waist down(and the hair and background)it is really good:D

And just to let everyone know, I am not a professional artist so what I say may be just stupid so you don't have to follow it, just making sure you know that. Although I do do good in Art Class.

Yay! Some criticism! :D

Yeah, I see what you mean, her arms are a little long. I guess I haven't had much practice using real-life proportions yet. Thanks for pointing that out! ^_^



I'm surprised nobody noticed the coloring mistake that made the face look wonky in the first place. haha I had just finished adding shadows to her skin, when I started shadows on the hair (stupid, stupid me) and since is was still incredibly wet, the darker colors flooded right into the lighter area of her face. D:

Word of the wise, make ABSOLUTELY SURE that you don't start painting something next to what you just did until it dries. (Unless, of course, you want that really cool blending look)

Alright... well it's been a while. Mostly because I've been busy writing and such.

The story on this one is I finished writing the book I've been working on, and thought I'd make a cover. (It was also my art final too).

So yeah. I guess it's not all that special. I spent a LOT less time on the castle than I did on everything else. I am really proud of the tree though. :]

It's watercolor with colored pencil.

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g277/Reina_4/IMG_1532.jpg

Cool, I like the perspective... though the proportions and vector points seem to be a bit off... Like for example, the road leading to the province...thingy... seems like it's branching off of the tree. Though it seem that you try to make it seem like that it is a very far distant object, maybe you could have the road sort of open up a bit and maybe lean at an angle a bit if anything... just a small critisizm though... nothing big. :)
