    Okay I'll admit this post has nothing to do with dragons. Well at least not toda- OI DON'T YOU CLICK AWAY. I SAW YOUR CURSOR OVER THE BACK BUTTON.
    For a week I'll be posting a new picture everyday, since a while back I said I'd post more but then kinda went back to ded because of school.

    \If you for some reason like my art (like who does that lmao) then I suggest you watch this thread, as I'll be only using this one.\

    Day 1

    Polaris
    [​IMG]

    I need some explaining for this one oh boy. So my dreams take me to weird an' wild places as do most people's do ya'know. But my dreams seem to all be in the same world, each night a different place. And, though rarely, I've been to the same place twice. Mind you this isn't a repeat dream, but an entirely new dream with a new experience. In a few of my dreams I've seen this character. Wanna take a guess who it is mate?
    It's me, but not me, it's Dream-Me.
    Yes I wear glasses.
    [​IMG]
    Coloured in PDN, So its not perfect in any way. I don't like to colour my sketches, They just lose a certain charm to them.
    Also as a last note, sorry about those damned lines, I did this entirely at school during lunch and free time.
    My art teacher saw this and another sketch I made at school and was really interested about them, so that was pretty cool! He's a really nice guy and I'm hoping he'll let me take a project I've been working on home so that I can show you guys!

    Post

    ♦ Day 1: Polaris

    Day 2:
    Tips an' Tricks
    -=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

    Alright! So Today Is a little different art-wise.
    Today I'll be posting various ways to improve your own art! I can't help much in the sense that it will "look good" because, to me all art looks good, I don't see a good and a bad in art; it's all about creativity, not whether something looks amazing or not.

    The first things you should practice in art are lines and basic shapes, usually in that order. It's safe to say most people do know things like that already, so the next step would be to merge small shapes into complex shapes and connect lines to form a picture.
    For my example, I doodled Polar again, just as a show of this.
    //Note: If you ever do paper sketches NEVER start with your pencil as hard to the paper as you can, it makes erasing the sketch lines later i m p o s s i b l e.
    [​IMG]
    I like to color code the head body limbs and tail when doing art digitally, though if on paper I just use light pencil strokes.
    [​IMG]
    As you can see I used the other lines to help make my final outline.
    >Not much of anything else to commentate about here<
    [​IMG]
    Hahaha "3:" looks like a sad kitty face- Er.. I mean why are you reading this caption? I don't have anything to say...
    [​IMG]
    This step I had to cram into one due to the fact PAA ran out of memory.
    Today's post was late due to me having to delete some older things, Rip in Pepperoni old crappy drawings.

    Alright! Now that you've seen an example, I'm going to answer a question I know some people might have, or well, I at least had it once, but Google and practice are both helpful tools when you have no teacher!
    >How do I add shading to a drawing? And how do I know where to put it?
    I've been asking my self this question for a long time, and I'll admit I'm still not perfect at shading or lighting, but I do have some basic tips.
    <Place your light source in your drawing so you can see where it would hit the figure.
    <Think about your figure from a different angle.
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    This one was the hardest to do r i p
    I should also note there are different types of shading:
    Pointillism, Modelling, and Hatching (There is also a variation of hatching called "Cross-Hatching", which i prefer to use myself~).
    Modelling: A shading most people use, it looks smooth and natural, usually brush strokes are not seen. A good example of this is my Orb drawing in the spoiler above.
    Pointillism: A shading type where dots are used in various amounts to show value- the more and closer the dots the darker the shading- the fewer and farther away the dots the lighter the shading.
    Hatching: In this, lines are used to show shading. It's variation, Cross-Hatching, has lines perpendicular to each other to show shading. I used Cross-Hatching in a few places in my Day 1 post.

    Miscellaneous Objects:
    [​IMG]

    WELL, THAT TOOK WHAT FELT LIKE AGES TO TYPE.
    I'm not sure if anyone will ever find this helpful, but it was fun to do!
    And hey if this is helpful, comment to meh, it makes me feel all fuzzy inside when my stuffs makes people happy!
    (Also don't hurt me if things don't make sense I'm not good with words).​

    Nah sorry man, you don't.
    I tried to read it once, but it was pretty disappointing in the fact it was pretty wordy for a 'webcomic'.
    I go back every now and then, like the 4/20 update oh man that was gold @SpadeZ1 thanl for sharing that w/ me when it happened.
    Also, once again the character is from my own story, as well as most other characters I've made. Polaris was in my dream originally but I've decided on honoring her/him/it by putting her/him/it in [Insert-My-Super-Secret-Project-Here]

    -=-=-=-=-
    Update on next post:
    It will be done shortly after homework!
    Highschool man, jeez so not used to HW everyday.

    Day 3:
    1st Drawing Attempt At Tangling (Art Style)

    WOOOOO! Alright this was outrageously fun to do today. In fact I almost got carried away with myself!
    I got a book on tangling for my birthday (so about a few weeks ago [wow I've been 15 for almost a month wat]), and I'm finally opening it up!
    Today was a practice day above all else, but this was still fun to draw nonetheless!

    Warm up sketching:
    [​IMG]

    You gotta warm up so your hand don't cramp up amirite?
    I'm rite.

    Book Project 02: "Dream Plant" (well it was called "Dream Garden" but this is one plant so hush):
    [​IMG]

    So nice and refreshing for a change! I love working with purple, I've always seen it as a calming color like blue.


    -=-=-=-
    And that's all for today!
    Short compared to yesterday i know, but tomorrow is the MEGA-POST, Where i'll be posting 3 pictures all of the same quality of my 1st post, as well as opening requests. Requests are 1st come 1st serve and I'll only be taking 4 at a time; once those four are done I'll ask the next people who want something to request and go to 4 and ect. ect.

    Something something, I-forgot-what-I-was-going-to-say, goodnight!

    Whoops, I'm so sorry this is late, I caught a nasty fever/cold today so this is a bit late.
    Day 4:
    MEGA POST

    YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO look I made it to my favorite number.
    I just came to post this as well as check convos, but after that I gotta go.
    Alright! What you've been waiting for!
    Here are 3 pictures I made at school and I finally get to share them ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ
    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]
    I've really proud of these, and yes it's from my project again, so most these lot were made up on my own, though this 3rd picture was made for a friend.
    Which is sad because I like the one with the banjo the best and he's gone now rip.
    I might make him my profile pic once I get well enough to safely be on the comp w/out getting a headache.

    I'd like to request.

    It will be my skin (search up my username ((Humblebum9000)) in a skin stealer, I'll pop up), holding a "Sword of Light" in my right hand and a "Sword of Darkness" in my left (Use your imagination while making these, but make them seem kinda fancy and rune-y). I'd like to be standing in ruins, if possible, but if not, a hill or something is fine. On the other side of the image is this skin holding a battleaxe in the same style of the Sword of Darkness which I mentioned above. Preferably, the latter skin would have a smug smile on his face and a small crystal in his left hand. If there are any issues with this request, just let me know in a PM or something.

    Request: Shadow Sentinel

    Details:

    Gender: Female

    Heavily armored in the chest, arms, hands, legs, and helmet.

    Armor: Dark grey overall

    Helmet: Three sharp prongs going upward from the helmet, with the center prong being a bit taller than the others. The face is partially visible with a sci-fi looking mouth armor (much like how they hide their mouth and nose and only show their eyes and what is shown of their face).

    Chestplate: Has a fiery "V" symbol that represents the Vulcan Empire.

    Sword: A large claymore in her right hand with red cracks on the sword.

    Shield: A dark hexagonal shield in her left hand.

    Cape: Black on the outside and red on the inside. The outside has a fire symbol. Looks tattered.

    Hair: Long and dark purple

    Belt: Grey with a ruby gem in the center.

    Also, put it on paper.

    Also, please draw me sporting a crooked smile and sporting a small black sketchbook. And do use my Minecraft skin for reference. (Color it, please! And I'd like it if you could make it on paper, but if you can't color it on paper, please make it on the computer.)

    Woo! Little late with this, please understand the fact since I was sick with a cold yesterday, I had more than twice the homework to do today.

    \\To those who made requests! @The One-eyed Guy , @ShadowMage1™ @ShinyMew1232 and... uh... the last person.. I forget.. oh @Plasma Dragonite . I will start (and if I'm lucky post) the drawings tomorrow because I've got to hit the hay in a second, so thanl for being to patient!//

    Day 5:
    The First

    I thought I'd make today a special day and post the first picture I posted to the forums before The Reset of 9/7. It's noticeably different from what I do now! But I still really like it.
    [​IMG]
    Ahh so many memories... For this I used watercolor and acrylic paint.
    I doubt I'd ever paint for a request, this took a few days to make.

    Anyways I don't have much else to say, but thank you guys who did stand with me all this way! Only a bit left to go!

    Loving your art style to be honest. Smooth, simple yet cute kinda just like my current art style. That's all I can about it.

    Before I go back to my daily routine, I was supposed to request an art from ya. Unfortunately, routines are routines and I'll need to follow them or else bad things may happen. Missed the chance doesn't mean I can not request from ya again, right Firefoxy?

    You can request something if you'd like!
    I'll most likely only finish 2-3 today (if I'm lucky rip) but ideally I'd like to do them in batches of 4. You're welcome to request something, but I won't be able to do it until I finish the current ones.

    And I'm glad you like my style~ Much <3 I've been trying to get it the way I like it for a few years now, and recently I found one I liked, so I've been practicing.

    Welp, Almost late again today. Please understand the fact that school can be more important then the forums. You guys are my friends and I love you, but if I start failing school my parents won't let me come on the forums anymore.

    //That being said, I feel bad to announce the fact requests are not finished. I didn't want to give anyone a bad looking roughly done drawings because of my small amount of time, I want to put good work into everyone's drawings so that you guys can, well ya'know, use them and... well just generally like them.//

    I've updated the schedule in the 1st post though it's likely if more time is needed for requests the 7 days will extend to how ever long I need. I never planned to go past 7 days but the support had been astounding, and as a former artist who's been ded for months that's amazing everyone still remembers me and enjoys my meh-ish drawings. Yeah I'm no StarFeish, but I'm learning.

    So what better picture to post (or... repost... *shakes fist at accidental forum reset*) then the picture I did for the 400th post I made on the forums!

    Day 6:
    Let There Be Color

    [​IMG]
    Eh certainly not as amazing as a slightly younger me remembers...
    Perhaps one day when I'm more skilled I'll return to this and make it better.
