The artistry of....artwork

spottoI may not be the greatest artist out there, but I enjoy putting pencil to paper and creating whatever swirls of lines and creatures as I please. I like to show people too, but I am surrounded by many others who are simply far superior to me in my art and so I never stand out. People may comment on them, a single word, perhaps a small chuckle at a dumb joke, but otherwise when I draw it's a personal thing. Drawing is the kind of thing I'll always do, even if no one cares or if they blatantly point out to my face how bad it is. I'll probably always draw.
In fact I probably have the most passion in my artwork than anything else. I'd probably be happiest if I were given compliments on my crappy doodles over other things I do that I may not have as much enjoyment doing. But, if it's not good it doesn't deserve praise, so... I just mingle forward with my mediocre stuff. I decided to compile a bunch of doodles I've drawn over the past few months, just to show myself and any others I may show how inconsistent and messy my style is. I still haven't transitioned well to a tablet (I've tried many times) since the way I draw on paper is as far as I can tell rather different than others. I have a very hard style of writing, when I print words my pencil is grinding on that paper, almost putting grooves through the back. (Though not to the extent of my brother who basically has an abusive relationship with his paper, but that's understandable since his wrists don't work properly) I know drawing and writing much lighter would be far better and far less messier for my artwork, but I just haven't been able to adapt yet. This is why I think my tablet stuff isn't working out, I think. The tablet itself has far less friction than paper and I can't get that comfortable tight position down onto it like traditional media. It feels like I'm skating on ice rather than walking on ground really.
I'll get a hang of it someday, but I've had my tablet for like five years. Ha.
Anyway I put ALL the doodles in one image just so you don't have to click many links, in fact I'll just display it right here in gigantic and huge glory. I'll actually cut it because I remember that I still exist on LJ, and therefore there might be people there to still use that friend's list, and may see this gigantic block of crappiness on it.
And of course to comment on it!
The very first image was a pretty random little doodle. I drew it when I was playing quite a significant amount of Hisoutensoku with my friends. I decided to draw them cosplaying their mains, but I never got around to finishing beyond the poses. Cunchy, the faux-hawk dude has his hands positioned like a pointer or a gun because he mains Reisen. Also adding bunny ears to hair like that is somewhat awkward, lol. The guy next to him, Magus, was meant to be Suwako but I never got around to adding that hat. (I also suck at drawing hats anyhow) Below Cunchy is Souless, meant to represent Meiling thus the high kick. I tried to copy Remilia's hilarious crunching pose with Edmendduke, but I did it without reference so it's totally wrong. You can tell I actually got around to adding her the and wings on. I did like practicing poses on that one, and I thought adding a face might ruin it since I left it faceless for so long. (I threw impromptu ones on with the computer ololol)
The second image is actually a Touhoumon image I drew. I was chugging along through the Elite Four and the most surprising death of my game occurred right there. Every time I faced that Momiji (and other Nuzlockes I followed too) she was a joke. Always killed her in one shot, never a threat. But my weapon against Momiji is my Ex-Keine, Cranium since she's part fighting and Momiji is normal. And every time I'd kill Momiji with a Brick Break or something, but then the champion used Earthquake this one time. I was completely shocked when Cranium died in a hit (and she's one of my tanks too) and was pretty much my favourite Touhoumon at the time since she was so dependable so yeah, quite surprising. Anyway I learned that Ground is super effective to Steel, which Keine is also a part of therefore why Cranium died. I sent out my Alice, SockPuppet out to avenge her afterwards, thus the image! THEY WERE FRIENDS FOR A VERY LONG TIME, I GOT THEM AT AROUND THE SAME TIME. So yeah all dramatic and sad and stuff, or at least that was what I was trying to do.
Here is the pony dump! This first image is of TERRIBLE quality (even moreso than normal!) because my mom put a wet rag on top of it. >: SERIOUSLY I really liked how I drew this one and she soaked water all over it, blargh. It is of a Werewolf!Fluttershy and a Zombie!Pinkie Pie, or as I like to call them Zombie Pie and Lycan Shy. I've read like three werewolf-shy stories and liked them quite a bit, and Pinkie tends to become the zombie in zombie stories (or at least zombie pictures) so I thought it'd be cool to draw em! (Also at the time I was all into supernatural stuff for a few weeks) Zombies and Werewolves are pretty cool man.
The Pinkie on the right is just a random doodle, liked it enough to scan in. I also drew Fluttershy as a hockey player as you can see, with a fierce expression because on the rink you must have passion to protect your teammates and to intimidate others to boot! I had a terrified goaltender pony as well but it's quite awkward because trying to put goaltender equipment on a quadrupedal creature is really odd. I also have many other doodles of other sports played by ponies but they had weird concepts or just plain looked bad. (Though I did draw Pinkie bouncing a basketball with her chin olololol) The last pony is a personal pony of me, or something. I dunno. I like top hats.
Yes, I still draw Beyblade stuff...oddly enough it tends to be Rei. As you can tell from the two images I do not draw him consistently at all. One looks younger but with closer-to-canon hair, etc. I just realized they have similar poses despite the fact that both images were drawn in different times, even different months. Maybe I like Rei pointing at his chest or something, like a "LOOK AT ME!" kind of gesture. Pay attention to Rei guys, not Kai or Takao or even the bubbly Max. Rei's there too even if he's the mediator and everyman dude. Oh yes and my fingers are so awesome, are they not?
I love drawing animals as well, especially goofy ones. ...yeah that's all I have to say about these ones.
The first image on the left is actually an Ed. I dunno why I randomly drew him but I did, gave him slightly different hair. Or at least I assume him to be Ed. Anytime I throw glasses on something it's likely to be Ed, I dunno. Maybe it isn't Ed and just some dude with glasses, but when I see some Asian with glasses I automatically think Ed. He kind of fits that stereotype y'know? Not to mention I met him and he is Asian, has short cropped black hair, and glasses. Durr.
I threw this demon guy in because I liked his expression. The horns and stuff were last-minute editions. Originally it was just a face with a small fringe, lol. I always have a hard time drawing profile'd animals with their mouths open, so I liked the one I included here. Trying to figure out the perceptive and angle of all the lined up teeth and meaty gums etc. of a mouth, especially an animal mouth is a bit of a challenge but I love drawing them a lot either way.
Finally a few of my manly men drawings. Of everything you see on this picture, I draw shirtless dudes the most. I DON'T KNOW WHY either. I just like improving on how I draw muscle so shirtless dudes ALL the time! It's why I cannot draw clothes because I never draw clothes ,or females because I never draw females. That's why my clothes sucks and my females look male. I cannot do it lol. I always just default to a guy with no shirt on. The one on the left I added for his face though. He looks kind of cool. Also if you've noticed I still do that spiky hair thing. I think I'll blame DBZ for influencing so much of what artstyle I have P:
ANYWAY THAT IS MY ARTS. That is all and thank you for taking a look if you did, even if everything looks smudged and rough as hell. They're just doodles and scraps anyhow.
Perhaps someday I'll have the patience to colour. >_>
