Description
I mostly just drew this to make sure I didn't forget how to do pencil-shading, 'cuz I haven't done that in weeks. (possibly a month or two O.o).7 Bic pencil, drawn on the back of a church bulletin. Try and figure THAT one out.

Thanks for the offer Do I even apply, though? My gallery's about a 50/50 split between traditional and digital stuff.

Apart from having my head stuck deep in San Andreas, and Guild Wars and then work, nothing much in between.

Awesome work sir! It seems you still have the shading skills! Though there seems to be a big, gaping empty spot in its neck.... *cough*

Are you making fun of the fact that I always mull over doing Star Wars art whenever I comment on your stuff?

I once drew yaoi on the back of a church donation card.
Nope, your pencil shading skills still work.

Woah, nice job on the shading and details. I really love how you did the head. Plus, I like the mechanical feel to it.

church bulletins are perfectly good drawing surfaces, not like they use those things more than once a week anyway think of it as recycling
i dont go to church anymore but when i had to i used to think of anything and everything but what was going on. your pencil shading is (still) pretty good, though youve made me wonder what mine is like considering i havent done it for about two years o-O

chrisbeaver In reply to Ryivhnn [2005-08-11 05:22:47 +0000 UTC]
Yup Only problem is that the church paper isn't real high-quality, so erasing and graphite layering is always a challenge and the pencil starts squeaking if you use a .5, which really drives ya nuts after awhile >.o And it's not even really a matter of me ignoring the service; I still participate and listen and everything, I just draw while doing it. Mebbe it's a compulsive behavior =\

i think drawing is a better compulsive behaviour to have than chronic shoplifting, smoking or killing

Wow freaking sweet..How did you get the alien to look just like the alien from aliens..Man you watch that movie a little to much but it's all gravy..Sweet..I really like it, you did an excellent job shading and I use .5 mechanical pencils and .7 for dark lines and shading..Can't draw without my pencils..I can't draw in #2 pencils...I just can't get the feel for that type of lead that's so freaking thick..But excellent work, and I love how you did it on the church bullentin I do the samething..Doodle on the church bulletine too..Hehe..Good job and keep up the awsome work...-Sessy

Actually it's been quite a few months since I last put the movie in, but since I'm a staff artist at Gamespy's PlanetAvP site for the past four years I could practically draw an Alien or Predator blindfolded
Mechanical pencils are the only way to go -- Spread the word!
