just finished the headmaster drawing. now i can get on with the stephen fry drawing that i cant wait to get started on

wow this is so good!! i love the detail around the eye!

thanks sniggles, i dont know why my pictures dont come up any more, any one got any ideas why please???

is the file size to big !!

here is a part of my drawing i did for my english project

wow conty thats amazing, but how did you get that' bronze browny' sort of colour it looks really good!
Sniggles your drawing is great but you could probably go darker with the outline of the animals and like conty says... dont be afraid to make the darks darker.
hope this helps!

P.S I'm starting a drawing of rowan atkinson now!

does it have to be w and g

cavor, i dont think so i re-sized it 300x400 pixels so that i can download to the internet, and its never happened before and im using the same camera. i think ive done something but i dont know what ive done.

sniggles, good drawing

potsy good luck with the rowan atkinson drawing, and i dont know why it looks a bit bronze, it may be the camera as i had to take a photo of the drawing as it was too large to scan, and it was taken in doors so maybe thats why

ok conty and i hope my drawing goes well too.
ill put it on here as soon as i can!

My own web site is now live, please take a look

Super website conty is it the free version?

no unfortunatly, i have paid for my own domain and website for 2 years, but i am pleased with it. i was recommended to wix by the company that produce my ltd editions, it was'nt too hard to set up, and i can add more to it as i produce more art/sculptures. ive already had 2 orders, so its a start

That is one cool website,

thats cool. do you think i could get an order from you?!

have any of you guys heard of george mclain? he is a really talented artist. he paints wildlife but it is incredible!

heres the start of Rowan, hope you like it so far.
This is the first time i've done a deccent drawing of a person that actually looks good and realistic. It was als o the first time i ever drew hair on a person so i think i've done well

That looks great potsy!!!!

Well done potsy .....Mr Bean is coming along nicely

more good news! my school musical is bye bye birdie and me and my friend got our posters both chosen to be posted all around school to go see the musical out of fifteen other people!

THATS GREAT NEWS CONTY AND YES I DO REMEBER THE DRAWING

OH AND THANKS sNIGGLES yeah he does have a funny expresion on his face. sorry about the caps lock it'sa typo

heres the start of Stephen Fry, it doesnt look much but its the largest drawing ive done yet its A2, lots and lots of work to do

try again, why does it keep doing that?

its still not working

Well your doing relly well, especially on an A2 piece of paper. Thats big!

Heres my update of Rowan for you.
It needs to be darkened and I need to fix the bottom of his face up a bit, so there's still a lot of work I need to do

potsy its looking great, like you said you still have plenty more to do, dont give up keep working on all the small details

thanks for the advice conty.

Can you tell me what you used to create your website?

you need to own the domain first, then i went and designed the website myself at wix.com then you link the domain name and your web design together. it wasn't really easy to do and took quite a bit of time plus its costly to do. it cost me just over £200 and i only own the name < Link removed by EllieM as it contained personal details > for 2 years. i wouldnt recommend you do it unless your thinking of drawing for your job, theres plenty of very good sites to show your work for free with your own page. like deviantart.com

Hi Conty- I've removed the link to your site (which is very nice by the way!) as it contained personal details including a phone number. Please do not post that link again on the forums

Ok Ellie no problems, and thankyou I'm pleased you like it. I thought that I would get loads of spam and people messing about but luckily I have had none, everyone has only used the contact for the purpose it was intended. Think I've been lucky so far lol

thanks conty. I might put some of my things on deviantart. I've seen their site and it looks quite good.

I've just about finish Rowan. I changed alot of things on him to make it look more llike him. Like I changed the shape of his jaw because it was too big and square, now it looks more like him.

However I am a bit disappointed. I think I could have done better but practice makes perfect right?

it is a good place to show your art work and its free.
so are we going to see the finished drawing? and if it helps. i always feel exactly the same i am never satisfied with my drawings even when they are finished. i always look at it and think of all the things i could of done better. but i think thats just the way it is for most artists, i am my own worst critic

Yes you will see Rowan soon. I just need to upload it on my p.c. and then I should be right to go. I'll put it on here soon
And thanks for that conty. it made me feel a bit better and that I can never be absolutely satisfied with my work.

sorry about the delay. Here he is! Let me know what you think...

great job potsy!! the hair and eyebrows are very good, you could of done better on the clothes, dont forget there are no harsh lines its only shades of light and dark, you just probably rushed to get it finished, the same with the line around his chin, just needs more shading/softening to make it look more real. but over all you have done a fantastic job. it looks just like him. your art teacher should be very pleased

hello everyone, long time no see, recently i have been practicing using charcoal pencils to create monochrome drawings, i have then scanned them into photoshop to colour them in, the results actually turned out pretty smart, heres one of a dog in a suit, its litterally a "reservoir dog"

and heres one i just did today in my sketch pad, its kind of an anti-smoking drawing

oops, didnt laod, try here http://twitpic.com/4k0pbh

Very stylistic spazicat!! Both sketches look great!

thanks, if u ever try charcoal pencilsa, u'll find they are quite good for drawing with than regular graphite or lead

heres another sketch from my sketch book, its everyones favourite menace, dennis, coloured in photoshop to mimic those old bad colouring in beano books,though this one was drawn with anger and rage for 2 reasons.

1. I watched an episode of the new dennis tv show, and i am very very annoyed on all the political correctness added, he is no longer a menace.

2. Years ago, when i was about say 12 or 11, i sent a letter to dc tomphson, the people who publish the beano, dandy, broons and oor wullie about how i wanted to work for them as an artist when i was old enough. I included drawings to show how into comics i was, ones i worked hard on, they never responded. i sent 3 letters to them, and they never responded, not even just a little advice on how to improve drawing skills. being 11 or 12, that actually kind of hurt

since that day i have had a grudge on that company and because of it, stopped buying the beano all together.

sadly aswell, they were the company who inspired me to draw in the first place
