My Sketchbook

[lalu]

Hey everyone! Well, my friend hala told me about this site and I decided to join and try it out. It looks like there's a whole lot to do on here so it's gonna take me some time to figure it out.

And, uh, yeah. So here it goes!

[lalu]

My brother out his Halloween mask on the Christmas tree this year and it looked pretty cool, so I drew it.



I don't even have Photoshop now, and couldn't figure out another way to make the file smaller, so I put it on Imageshack.

[hala]

Yay!!! Bro I'm so happy you're on here now!
Just keep posting, and post around in the critique forum too.


I luv the drawing man, can't wait to see more. People here are gonna love what you got.
moar!!!!

Nice! Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff
Did you try using the image uploader on here?

[lalu]

Yeah, I have tried to use the uploader. It would be a lot easier. But I currently have only a camera to digitize my stuff, and all the files come out really big, and I don't know how to shrink them other than in Photoshop which I don't have >.< Ack. Need to get some Photoshop.

Anyway, here are some sketches from September. Oils. All from observation, 5-20 mins each, and in terrible photographic format.















Thanks for the welcome, guys!

if you open teh files in paint--- and go to "stretch/skew" and put in "50 percent" you can shrink it and hte file size will be small

really digging these man
5-20 mins is hella fast for what you got down on the canvas
would love to see more of it or even like going back and fleshing some things out

hey lalu welcome and wasabi, larissa said to come by or she'd beat me down with her mma fist, that bully =P

really diggin that sketch u did of ur bro's halloween mask, nice tonal work with the analog pencil, keep em coming i diggerz!

[Arthurkidd]

wow you sure have a lot of potential, keep posting.

[lalu]

Thank you Snootchy and Arthurkidd. You're right, Larissa is a bully - but cool for telling me how to resize things!

2 more little drawings, one of mushrooms. I like fungi a lot.

The other of Jessie and James from Pokemon (still kinda like it). I figured with the hair Jessie could easily be from the 80s, and James was a total flamer. And a personification of Meowth, who I suppose would be an old, sad guido. I'd like to make something final out of this, but I need to practice invented poses first.

PS: How do I thank someone on here? Like, by your stats it says "thanked however many times in however many posts." Hoe do I do that?

[snootchy]

hey lalu, that mushroom sketch is hot, really like the value pattern you captured in that sketch!

sorry not really sure how those thanks work
