DVDizzy Forum

I hope no one here is sick of me posting my drawings.

Anyway, I'm finally making use of the DeviantArt account I opened like three months ago. I didn't realize how cool the place is!

I've only got 6 pictures posted so far, but there's more to come, including some Disney fan art. You can see my gallery here, and it includes a couple of realistic [and tasteful] nudes from my college days as well as some fan art and a gel pen drawing I've posted elsewhere on this forum. Please take a look and let me know what you thnk.

On a more Disney related note, here's an unfinished pic I added to the scrap category:

You can see a larger version here.

As usual, she's a combination of markers and colored pencils. I began to color it today but things got kinda hectic, so I maybe I can decide how to color the background and take the picture in a better light tomorrow.

Anyway, who else here has an account there they can share? Don't shy away from it if you don't draw, it's about photography and writing, too. Check the place out; it's cool. There's so much artwork to look at and you can add comments and everything.

what did you used to mix the colors and give the shine efect?
You used black marker isn´t?

Well, the only area I used a black marker was for the outline, but for this actual picture it's just a photocopy of a drawing I made a couple of years ago for the kids I work with (see my online journals/coloring sheets thread).

For the hair, I started with a purple marker for the darkest areas, overlapping it and covering more areas with a red marker. Then I moved on to an orange marker to fill in the rest, leaving some of the area uncolored for the highlights. I added a little detail with colored pencil on top of the marker.

The eyes, lips, shells, and tail are all marker, and the skin is a combination of five different shades of colored pencils.

Here is what she looks like uncolored:

you realy have talent with the markers
I thought the tail was made with a mix of colors and markers,but I could never guess it was all markers.
I repeat,
Great job!

Thank you!

I used to be "afraid" to try using markers. I worked primarily with colored pencils until I casually started practicing with them and finally learned how to do blending. Now I love to combine them and I get the best of both worlds. Markers give you bold color and a lot of coverage quickly, while colored pencils can give you a very soft and blended look but take forever to do.

Now if I can only figure out those darn watercolors. . . Man, I have no clue when it comes to painting with them!

Holy crap.. That's awesome! You need to throw a portfolio at Disney!

Great job Sunset Girl!

If it was possible I would buy that picture!

Thanks for all the compliments, everyone!

Sorry, she's not for sale; I'm not even in possession of her anymore. I promised her to a little girl in my aferschool program when it was finished and gave the pic to her today.

Oh, I used more markers to give it kind of an abstract background, by the way. Here she is:

You can see a larger version of her here: http://www.deviantart.com/view/19007639/

For some reason her hair turned out a little too bright and I couldn't darken it without darkening everything else, and there's a little shadowing on her tail because the wetness of the marker made it bulge a little. Other than that, I think I'm happy with it.

You could make it darker getting crushed a little bit of the red color tip and spread it with the finger or a little paper

The color of the hair from the actual piece is better represented by the unfinished version for some reason, although the rest of it is a little dark. I adjusted it a little with Irfan, but this was as close as I could get without making the rest of it too dark.

But when you're taking pictures of artwork that's bound to happen, so I'm cool with it. And like I said, I no longer have it in my possession anyway.

I bet that girl is a little girl with a really big smile

I just added a sculpture to my account. Not much to look at, but it is Disney related.

It's a figure of Nala from The Lon King. You can see it here: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/19556872/

I should start signing up. I'm a award winning artist (I'm in high school). I should post my pictures and stuff and my pinocchio drawing

do you need a scanner or something to put it up?

Alan wrote: do you need a scanner or something to put it up?

Any means you have to get your images uploaded in your computer. A scanner is probably best, but I use a digital camera. I've also scanned in things at Walgreens to have my artwork put on disc before I had any other means, which came in quite handy.

I thought I'd reopen this chat, because I know there's alot of people on here who enjoy drawing, and I'm one of them . I'm curious to see people's work, and what kind of stuff they do.

To anyone who wants to have a look around, here's my link:
Some of the stuff is dodgy, especially the Gosshawk, but neve rmind eh?

Woah now, old thread! This looks a little familiar. Hmm. . .

Just reposted this one not too long ago.

Wait...
enigmawing did Sunset Girl just take one of your original drawings

Then traced it and re coloured it as her own?

Long story short: enigmawing is Sunset Girl

Long story: ...er...I don't know all the details, though I'm sure enigmawing can fill you in...
