Sammy Boy's art

[Sammy Boy]

Hi everyone, I spent the past couple of nights making a nebula.

I had a lot of fun and feel I've learned a fair bit about making space art in the process.

If interested, you can check it out here: http://wildspark.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d5pbblt

Cheers!

I love nebulas, my youtube channel has a nebula as it's background.

[Sammy Boy]

Nebulae give me a feeling of peace when I look at them.

Here is my attempt at doing manga fan art:

That's really good!

I like details in her hair. Like.. A lot! >w<

[Sammy Boy]

Thank you! I still haven't learnt shading properly. I mean to do that someday.

Here is my first attempt at doing actual blending: http://wildspark.deviantart.com/art/Sta ... -417092101

It's absolutely lovely~ Seriously, I am in complete awe of your space artwork, and last one, and the other one XD;;

[Sammy Boy]

Thank you Panda4christ! I really appreciate the comment - there are still lots of techniques (both painting and composition) that I need to learn to make the images really great, your encouragement helps a lot.

Here is my attempt to draw Totoro:

I would like to gradually draw something from all of the Studio Ghibli films that I have watched, but time and elite skills are both still lacking.

[PLCDreamcatcher14]

Wow. That's really good Sammy!

[Panda4christ:3]

Eee, Totoro <3
I love it~ The shading looks really nice

[Sammy Boy]

In trying to draw Laputa, I found that my understanding of clouds and how they reflect / absorb light was superficial, at best. Hopefully some day I will do a better version.

Tried to draw an eye after watching one of those online videos. I think the reflections need more work.

[PLCDreamcatcher14]

Your drawings are so good! Especially that eye. I mean just...wow. ^-^

[nillapoet]

That's a really nice looking eye. I always have trouble with eyes.

[Sammy Boy]

Thanks for your comments. I now see that the eyelashes and pupil need more work as well!

Sometimes, when I leave a drawing for a while and come back to it, I see all sorts of mistakes.... :0

If anyone can point me to some tutorials or principles of better quality digital colour / shading / highlighting and/or with "special effects", I am all ears (and many thanks in advance).

[Sammy Boy]

I recently drew some characters that a friend created some years ago, I haven't coloured it in yet, but thought I'd share it for now (because I tend to be lazy and colouring may be months away)

It's called "Guardians of Justice - International Jurisdiction" - http://wildspark.deviantart.com/art/Gua ... -492522842

[ClaecElric4God]

Wow, that's really well done! Nice work!

[PLCDreamcatcher14]

Wow, cool! Very nice! Keep up the good work!

* starts singing the totoro song* so adorable! * jumps on totoro and nuzzles into his fluffy fur!* you also have a interest art style! I like it!

[Sammy Boy]

Thanks for the comments folks!

After several nights, I've finally finished my first digital painting (okay, so I also used my own photo stock as textures, but the under-painting is entirely digital ). I've really enjoyed doing this piece, I felt like I learnt a fair bit in the process.

[ClaecElric4God]

Wow, this is absolutely gorgeous! I love the detail, especially on the path. Keep up the good work!

[TheAlbinoMoose]

I love your stuff.

[PLCDreamcatcher14]

So pretty! I agree with Claec about the path! Keep it up!

[Sammy Boy]

Thanks everyone! I've been busy at work learning stuff at a training course, so haven't had any brain cells left during this week to do any art.... :0

[Sammy Boy]

A quick sketch to get me into the "mood" for drawing again....

[ClaecElric4God]

Oh, that's pretty cool. Keep it up! Now that you're in the mood you have to draw tons more for us.

[PLCDreamcatcher14]

Triple thumbs up!

[Sammy Boy]

Hello everyone, I decided to try give myself 30 minutes each night (or less) to draw something ... anything ... in order to keep practising.

Here is my attempt at Kenshiro

[ClaecElric4God]

Oh, nice! I really like your style of shading. This picture is really cool. This means you're gonna post a lot more, right?
