[Seraphim et ceatera]

ps: um I think I told u wrong, I maybe this its not called handle but hilt

It doesn't matter I should check it in dictionary.

 

when I look at it closely I notice the there seem to be 2 or 3 shading styles.

Better when I say that I USE 3 shading styles

 

Or maybe you smudge the shading with your finger to get soft shading?

NEVER do that. It's the most unproffesional thing to do. Well, I'm not an expert though But my elder friend always says that: never smudge the shading with finger! She draws comixes and projects the books' covers, so she knows the way ^^

 

Is it just a matter of using a sharp pencil or a dull pencil?

Nothing of the kind. I always have sharp pencil. When I want to do soft shading, I'm using the flat part of pencil.

 

 

edit: hey, I've got 10 posts

Fast, fast, fast! It was good idea to add this arrow.

Yep, I've got next two drawings

First the simpler one. Longsword, and big zoom on the HILT . Easy. I won't say very easy (inspired by Erling drawings^^)

an elephant who was about to throw a ball

No way!

 

No straight lines? No straight lines. Nice one. I like that "quick-tempered" shading

Kamikaze time ^^ I don't have no-odd-looking photos

 

[Sacred Weapon Sketches]

and now I am almoust inspired to pick up the pen again

 

Good. (now I'm feeling like the Lord Sith ^^)

Another question... do you already "know" the moods of your drawings before you draw them? Or does their "mood" just make itself apparent when you're drawing them? For example, would a character that you draw come out looking fierce as a reflection of the mood you're in at that time...or is it just your "feel" for what you think that character would be like?

 

Well, not exactly. It depends how good or how bad mood I currently have, but also what I'm listening to. For example, when I was drawing "The angry-angry-angry High Elf", I had veeery good mood (btw, I still have that good mood^^), but I was listening to Metallica's songs . And the Sad seraphim... hmm... ah, yes, The Rasmus' Funeral Song

Of course, I don't listen to music all the time. But almost always when I'm drawing, I'm also listening.

Sometimes I "know" the moods of my drawing, especially when I'm really happy, really angry or really sad. That's all.

Hey, I like these pics^^ Especially dragon's head on first (I don't know how in engilsh is that part of sword )

Third looks like an elven sword. A little tip for you: you don't have to draw so straight lines.

The shield... I love that cross

Question, how long does it take you to draw these?

About one hour

 

 

I'm a bit surprised 'cause I thought that I wouldn't finish new seraphim today, but here she is^^:

 

Full size is here

 

 

And I've got something else, my first High Elf. I want to give you a small advice: don't make High Elves angry, if you want to stay alive

 

 

Here is the full size.

 

 

And now you can see how I WAS drawing (3 years ago^^) and how I AM drawing now.

[Seraphim et ceatera]

I was asked to put here my drawings, so here they come ^^.

They were penciled about three years ago, so - in my view - they are really old

 

First - seraphim and Heart of Ancaria. Full size is here.

 

 

Second and last (for now ): 'Twin sisters'. No, they aren't sisters, it's just a name (I'm sick of repeating it...). Here is the full size.

 

 

I used to draw Seraphims, Wood Elves and other chars, but since I've stopped to play Sacred, I've stopped to draw them too.

Now I started to draw them again, I'll finish my new seraphim soon

 

T.T.
