I've made a lot of progress on the art, but it's still not finished. I'll try to post the video on today or Thursday. Probably Thursday. Anywho, here's the art so far. I still need to work on the hat, and the tail armor, and the boots, but I really like how it's turned out so far!
Your art will be featured in the video, along with your art advice and I'll also share my own advice for how to draw whatever you had a hard time with. And of course, you'll get full credit for your art and advice! No matter what level your art is at, you can enter. I want the video to be about encouraging people of all skill levels to draw!
You can enter by commenting on this post or by sending an e-mail to crazcatloverajartcontest@gmail.com .
By the way, today is the last day to vote on my poll for what video you want me to make for my one year YouTube-versary!

The animal in this drawing was a fox, which I always had a hard time drawing. It's just the face that is so hard to capture when you're drawing a fox. And so, I used a reference photograph. It's still not the best fox someone could draw but at least it's better than what I usually do when I draw foxes just by looking at AJ pictures. So, yeah, using references is really helpful and it's not copying (what some artists use as an excuse to get away from references.)

This drawing has quite a lot of anatomical problems but that's because I didn't use a reference in this one. The main mistake I see that I made in this drawing was the usage of shadows and lighting in the wrong places. Shadows are quite hard to get right, can you give some tips on how you shade drawings?

Those were the two drawings I want to enter. I hope I helped. :D If these aren't enough, let me know and I'll enter in more. :)
And that Wisteriamoon drawing looks awesome so far. I really like how you gave her a pirate kind of look. :D
Thanks for entering your art! Those drawings are great as well as the advice! Reference photographs are very important :)
DeleteWhen shading your drawing, imagine where the light source is coming from. Draw a blob or white lines to indicate that source, and highlight the places the light would be shining on and darken the places the light wouldn't reach :)
Ooh, I would love it if you could feature my art. :D

(The art I want you to feature it of me and Swirl. :D)
What I had a hard time with is drawing my deer. Deer are kinda hard with drawing clothes on them for me. Plus, I wanted the deer to look 'cutesy' so that was an interesting challenge. :P
What I did have an easy time with is the colors. It's good to have LOTS of colored pencils so you can mix around colors. Plus, it's nice to blend two colors to make a new color. Like, if you want a orange color for hair but you don't want it to be too bright, you can mix brown with it. Or for shading, if you have a dark color, you can add some black colored pencil to the area you want shaded. It's gives a nice, dark area. ^.^
Welp. I'm done. XD

ReplyDeleteKraft, I just want to let you know I did see your art and copied and pasted what you wrote in the comment into wordpad so I can use it in the video, but I removed the comment because of the website your art is on isn't entirely kid friendly. Thanks for the comment!
DeleteOk :) I understand, I just don't really have any other website to post on, unfortunately.
