Description
The painted version of [link] one of the most recent drawings I've made, and my first digital drawing in nearly 3years!You know I usually make my drawings by pencil because I don't have a computer and less a program to paint (well, except Windows Paint, but since I tried Corel Photo Paint,I'm no longer accustomed to Paint) and since beginning of January I didn't draw anything by hand, I don't know if it's because I've been very busy, or just because my dad's been bothering me telling Foster's characters are monsters, or that I'm in love with Wilt and I'd like to be his Wife. But this week I was doing a work for my dad in corel (he wanted I design a logo, now I hope he realizes to use Corel to draw is not a waste of time) and I took some time while I was making that to complete this picture that had begun in September.
I did the drawing based on it but it doesn't like so much to it because I improved it a lot, because I made that pencil drawing in July, and then I didn't have practice to draw Wilt. This is the first time I draw Wilt digitally, I made this thinking of, or less as, how he would look if he were real, but trying to preserve a bit of the show's proportions style. I know Foster's style sometimes exaggerates a bit proportions and shapes, but I think for Wilt they're not entirely wrong, for example, he has very long arms in comparison with human's arms, but in porporcion with the rest of his body, is indicated. It seems his feet and head are his bigger parts, but I think his head looks big (probably disproportionate for many people) for his lobes, so I really think his head has a very good proportion to the rest of his body, and his feet are big becausea it is expected that type of feet for someone slim and graceful, Pitbullady my friend said it once in one of my drawings, but she explain it better! XD
Wow! I'm impressed due the fact actually, THIS is the first time I really enjoy making a digital drawing, and maybe it was because this time I did'not have to RUSH it!! Usually I made my digital drawings in a true rush because my dad does not like I draw because he says my drawings are useless. But this time I had fun experimenting with Corel! It is true this drawing it so far to look real, and even if I tried with all brushes, I couldn't make lights well, or make drops of water running through his body were real, but yet I'm happy and I think this is one of my best drawings.
When I made this, however, I was a little sad because since January Cartoon Network changed the schedule here and I can't watch Fosters anymore, cos I don't have much free time,and before the schedule was before my post to work.
And as my dad always made fun of me, I fear that means one thing: that one day I will I wilt froget Wilt, as I forgot many of my favorite series I watched as a child or teen because my father always said that they were ugly (usually all were sci-fi characters), and forgets Wilt is like losing my spirit again...and I do not want it!!!!
I told you in [link] one of my old drawings, and also in my journal, that before watch Foster's, I was a shy, introverted, insecure and low self-esteem girl, because when I was a teenager my family (especially my dad) criticized me a lot and made fun of my dreams, my jobbies, or my favorite series, but thanks to Wilt I returned to be that person that outgoing and happy person I was as a child ... but now I fear forget all I learned, and become a introverted and low self-esteem person again...I'm afraid afraid to suffer being like that again, as when I was a teenager I did for a long time.....
So I made this picture, if I forget all the wonderful things I saw and learned, and I not back here again, or draw ... but this is not a good bye , is not that, it's just that...it's by...I do not want to be as before again! I don 't want to feel like a looser again!!!...
Well, Wilt taught me!! so I really want to believe everything will be alright, and I think you can help me! I hope everybody who watch Foster, and especially all those nice Wilt fans who commented here, express their comments to do I don't forget the show or Wilt!
Esta es la version pintada de [link] uno de los dibujos más recientes que he hecho, y mi primer dibujo digital en 3 años!!
Ya saben que asi todos mis dibujos los hago a lapiz porque no tengo una compu que tenga con que pintar (bueno excepto Paint el que trae Windows, pero desde que probe el Photo Paint, ya no me acostumbro al Paint) Y esde principios de Enero ya no he dibujado nada a mano, no se si es porque he estado muy ocupada, pues desde que mis padres regresaron de chiapas, o porque mi papá me ha estado molestando diciendome que los personajes de la mansion foster son monstruos, y cuando me molesta y le digo que no es cierto dice que es porque yo me creo un monstruo, tambien me bromea porque dice que soy la mujer de Wildo.
Hice el dibujo basado en el dibujo a lapiz, pero ya no se parece tanto porque lo mejore mucho, porque ese dibujo a lapiz lo hice en julio, cuando no tenia mucha practica para dibujar a Wildo!
Esta es la primera vez que hago un dibujo digital de Wildo, hice el dibujo pensando mas o menos como se vería Wildo si fuera real, pero tratando un poco de conservar las proporciones de la serie. Se que el estilo de ahi a veces exagera un poco las proporciones y las formas, pero creo que en el caso de Wildo no estan del todo errados, por ejemplo el tiene sus brazos muy largos en comparacion con los de un humano, pero en porporcion con el resto de su cuerpo,es el indicado.
Wow! Esta es primera vez que realmente me divierto haciendo un dibujo digital, y tal vez fue porque esta vez no tuve que hacerlo a la carrera. Casi siempre tengo que hacer los dibujos a la carrera porque a mi papá no le gusta que dibuje porque dice que mis dibujos no siven, los que me han conocen ya saben que desde que era adolescente es asi. Pero sin embargo esta vez me diverti mucho experimentando con el Corel! Es cierto que me falta mucho para hacer que Wilt se vea real, y por más que lo intenté con todos los pinceles, no pude hacer que las gotas de agua que corren por su cuerpo se vieran reales, pero aun asi me gusto como quedo y creo que este es uno de mis mejores dibujos.

Oh Really? thanks a lot!!!
It's great to see you here!!!
It took me a very loong time to make this come out well. I drew this for a month, in parts, in fact there were times I just wanted to throw the drawing away! because it was difficult to make the drops and the color, but at the end, and after much patience, it came out well!
This is my second Wilt digital drawing, and is the only digital drawing of wilt I've made trying to give him a realistic looking. I think this is the only pic of a realistic wilt, I haven't seen anyone else intended to make a real looking to him, but I think is because people likes more the show's style I like it too!! It's really great, but since this would be my first digital drawing in a pretty good time I wanted to make something more original!
The funny thing is that I didn't used any reference to make this, I just imagined this scene one day and that was how I did, I imagine the lights and shadows and colors in my memory, and it was a bit hard cos he's red and his skin isn't like a skin of a human or something recognizable. I'm SO proud of this one and indeed it's one of my best pieces ...but this so far from what I saw in my imagination...in my mind this looked much better!!

Thanks so much for the comment!!!
I know I always say this but I really apreciated it!!! To sign up here has given me great satisfaction, especially because dA gave me new friends! I really was a shy and insecure person, but thanks to him how I'm bold and brave, a more optimistic and confident person. My family and acquaintances of my family don't believe it, but it's true I literally owe my life to this buddy... I feel born again! and that feels extraordinarily beautiful....but where I live there was nobody to share this, but here I've met many nice and good people who love and respect Wilt, people who do apreciate him, like you. And that's really wonderful too!!
Sorry if the pic didn't came out as you expect, but I did not want to draw this one with a style that we-all-know, like in the show, with a obal as his body....I mean, I DO love the cartoonish render, the classic style is great! but this one was my first digital pic in many years, and I don't know if I will have time to make a digital drawing again, so, I wanted to draw in a style that no one had seen before!
I just wanted for once to try to shape your body, as one expects of a basketball player (I think that's more or less the way it could look) like an athletic body, and also to give him a more real, palpable aspect, at the same time. I tried with a many styles, and at the end this won! I'm quite proud of this one cos it looks like an oil painting, I used to paint in oil when I was a teen.

Ive had a similar experience towards DA and i know what you mean Especially with the little things like cartoons that hardly anyone has ever heard about.
And i love the interpretation, i know what you're getting at with the athletic figure and what not. Being tall is great, but looking the part of a basket ball player is ace (Y)

Thanks again for your comments
Yeah!!! I know what you mean!! Cartoons anyone has ever heard!
Something like that have happened to me, and lately, with a cartoon show called The Zula Patrol. I had didn't known anyone has heard about it until I put my fanart of the show here, and recently I found someone who knows the show and says and she used to see it before she went to work.
Do you've heard about that show? It's a really interesting and amused show who speaks about science and space!!!
And I love science and space a looot!!!
I even wrote something about the show in my journal [link]
I only saw it once in 2007, on Nat Geo, and after 2007 they removed the show here in mexico, but I've seen some clips on the Web. I love the original voices in English, they're so cool!!! but I feel sorta nostalgic cos in many times I don't understand the clips and I wanted to see the show on TV again. I miss that show a lot!! it was very funny and amused!

This is simply unbelievably beautiful! It's easy to see why Corel Painter is a really good program with this! That's what I use for my digital artwork. You did a great job with this!

Thanks so much for the comment and fave, I really apreciate it, and more comming from you!! I'm really glad you liked this!!!
I've always use Corel programs since I started to draw digitally, because my dad used much Corel Draw, and Corel Photo Paint, which I use, it comes with the package. I used several versions, Corel Photo Paint 8, 9, 11, and now the X3. When I was teen I wanted to draw with Photoshop, and now my brother recently had download it in the computer he uses, but that program it's very complicated, so I stand with Corel Photo paint!!
What I really love about this program is that it makes you use your brain, because, as it hasn't many "complicated effects" like Photoshop for example, it makes you use your wits with brushes to make effects like you want, and so you can show your true wit and talent because the program makes you think, try and create new things!! It's not the same as push a button to make a drop or "push a button make a butterfly! Corel Brushes are excellent, because they gives you the raw materials and when you finish you know your effort was worth it, when you see your drawing looks like hand-painted!! It looks more authentic, and it's wonderfull to know you have a drawing really made by yourself! For example, I had a lot of fun making this one, testing brushes and seeing how it looked, here I used brushes I didn't even know I have! is like oil painting!
It's true it took more that quite a while, and many people may think it was difficult, but I didn't feel like that! I had a lot of fun with it, really...specially because this time I was not rushing!!LOL
I would like to ask you something, how you remember Wilt if you don't watch the show? You think I'll forget Will and come back and be a low self-esteem fearful person again? Think that could happen if I forget him?...it's something weird...
