Drawing...seeking opinions

ChibiKasai · 12-24-2002, 11:46 PM

Ok...thought I'd post my latest drawing here. First TMNT pic I've done in like 6 years. Might be a bit rusty. o_O
Anywho, just like to get some opinions/evaluations, since there seem to be alot of great artists here...

*jaw drop* Oh my god, that is fantastic. I totally dig the style. The expressions are perfect, and the details are amazing. And CG'd, which I couldn't do to save my life, so I'm doubly impressed.

And we welcome another kick-butt artist to the group.

Very impressive... Indeed.

I love this style of drawing...great stuff..very cartoony, totally turtles

but they seem a bit feminen (sp?)...they need bigger muscles!

other than that I love this, i wish i could draw cartoons like this

wow great pic but i agree woth bigthew about the turtles being feminem

**Nturtle** · 12-26-2002, 09:07 AM

Oh wow!!!! what a style!!! thats incredible!!!

Although I don't think they need more muscles, I think the eyes are what mke them more feminine looking as you say...

ChibiKasai · 12-26-2002, 10:18 AM

Ack! Insult the turtles' masculinity? How dare...
I am, of course, just kidding.

Thanx for all the compliments! Hopefully they'll look less femme in the next pic. (now in coloring process)

*comes in late*

Wowza... very nice indeed. Actually, you did this with marker. me thinks. The Turtles look like hand colored marker, and the background is CG.. am I right? But I do like the shading, the colors... and their expressions are just dead on.

I also think these look more like the Archie TMNT... and they do look like that. I don't think your drawing looks very feminine, in that case. The arms n legs got the muscles (whereas most female style has no muscle definaition at all). Maybe it was the faces they were referring too. The faces do look a tad girlish. Hrmm.. maybe if you looked at the archie style a bit more to get the fleshed-out boy look... I think that's what the others are wanting. Oh.. and Archie Leo has the straps cross above his belt.

Love to see more of your work too!

MzTheInsomniac · 12-26-2002, 12:54 PM

keep the drawings coming!!

ChibiKasai · 12-26-2002, 01:06 PM

Aww...hate to say it, but you're actually wrong about the coloring technique, HorseTechie. It's all computer colored. The strokes in it were achived like so:
1.Scanning in a pencil shaded version. (Which will now be referred to as T1)
2. Copying T1 as a second file, which I'll call T2.
3. Coloring T2 in Paintshop Pro, mostly using my fill tool.
4. After T2 is colored, I paste T1 on top as a new layer, and set it to multipy.
Now you know, and knowing is half the battle. Or something.

BTW, you *are* right about the Archie style. I used to draw alot back in 5th grade by looking at the Chris Allen drawn issues. The influence has kinda stuck.

Yes, I love my Archie Leo, as my avatar shows

Peace.

**HorseTechie** · 12-26-2002, 01:14 PM

*grin* That was my second guess... this elusive Paintshop Pro program I have been hearing so much about lately. (I hope the class I take next semester uses this program) But your trick to get that effect is cool!

Hrmm.. and lo, and other Leo fan is amongst us!

I'm a Don/Raph fan, who's drawing style closely resembles Jim Lawson's (late Mirage comic). But I like to draw in the Archie way too from time to time.
