Meet Francis

Hello, I've been recommended many to try and post my art on these forums. From childhood I've wanted to be an artist because I believe that's the only thing I'm truly good at.

Here's a link to a completed video sketchbook that I've posted on Youtube

Do I have potential to be a better artist?

[JoeS]

Hey I checked out your vid your work is very stylised, I like the look. I would say you definately have potential yes, but im probably not the best for advice since im a bit young and new also. If theres one thing I could say it would be to just keep drawing everyday.
That squirrel is cute as well haha

During my 30 day Photoshop CS5 Trial, I made some attempts at speed painting. Like a normal person, the most experience I have with digital art is scanning pencil work and using the paint bucket tool. So as you can tell with these next pieces, they aren't exactly the most finished things. I can't truly blame the software(even if it has a WEE bit of a contributing factor) but I blame myself for not spending more time practicing doing this. :11:

Well, here's what I've done over my monthly try-but-can't buy session of CS5





















Bah, I don't do art enough. Either I get distracted of I just lose interest. I feel as if I'm getting worse at it. I think it's just me doing all these experiments I seeing bad results, but I'm supposed to learn form my mistakes right? I'm frustrated. :57: If there is a way to not feel this sense of unfulfillment, please don't hesitate to tell me how.

When the planets have the right alignment, I post things that are in color. Unlucky for you folks they're mostly monochrome colored sketches. I mostly used this for drawing many different figure poses.

Nobody is good at anything, really, until they put the practice in. You can do anything, but if you love art - then pay it the time! A great start, so keep going.

I can't stand the way tablets aren't pencils! Help Me!

[MastaFran42]

Haven't posted a thing in a while.

[MastaFran42]

I haven't updated in so long. It's hard to keep track of everything.

[MastaFran42]

I'm doing more to update now that I've graduated school.





Some more background work.



Some Characters that I've been trying to figure out some different color styles. I wanted to stick with the primary color scheme theme just to challenge myself.

Very nice sketchbook so far! Love your style and use of colour, you've definitely got a lot of potential. I think the only way you can really get used to the feel of a tablet is to use it a lot - something you're already getting the hang of by the looks of things! Looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks. Now that I have more time to dedicate toward working, I'm sure I'll get a better feel for my tablet eventually. It's mostly a matter of what fits for me and I'm still in that process. Thanks again though.

Hey folks! New Sketchbook! I've pretty much been doing these sketches over my last semester of college.
