#1 Some drawings I made (NSFW)
Posted: Thu Apr 30, 2009 12:37 pm
I had a lot of free time over the last two years, and sometimes I would occupy myself by drawing pictures. I thought I might share them with the board, let me know what you think. I actually wanted a calendar and because I couldn't get one sent in or dropped off or purchased, I decided to 'make' one. It's easy enough to format a set of tables in Word, but drawing the girls was the fun part. I know I have a fair bit to go before I actually get good at drawing, but this is a hell of a lot better than what I've done before. I used magazine photos as the source for many of the pictures. The first picture is Silk Spectre and Nite Owl from Watchmen, there was a photo in a movie magazine I used as a reference. Obviously it's incomplete. The second came from a J. Scott Campbell comic, so if you're familiar with his work you'll no doubt see his influence in that one. The Cavewoman girls are from a Paul Renaud comic I had. The rest of them are models.
They're not perfect (the drawings, I mean). When I scanned them the high resolution seemed to show the flaws even more so than I remembered. I didn't have a great many tools where I was, just pencil and paper. Not good paper either, but copy paper. As for the pencils, I prefer pacers but well, I couldn't get those and the pencils I did have were not... readily available anyway. (to briefly explain, you could only buy soft-lead pencils in the prison's canteen, but these were shit - the leads would break easily and the pencils weren't rigid in my hand. Let's just say I 'found' a box of hard-lead pencils and *ahem* 'appropriated' them for myself)
I'm an image hosting n00b. I would like to post the high-res scans, but photobucket resized them. Maybe it's for the best. Anyway, I'd appreciate some feedback from those artistically inclined, although I mainly posted this to show what I got up to when I was locked up. This was some of the better things I'll remember from my time (mainly because it took me outside of my confines for all the hours I spent on each drawing, which was absolutely crucial for me).
