You're in Houston? You should go to the Texas Rennaissance Festival this weekend. I'll be signing books with author and legend Peter S. Beagle! Should be a good time!

And I wouldn't mind meeting the man behind the art!

It's really a great time! We used to go in costume and we're thinking about resuming that tradition next year. But this year, this is our only weekend for the signing. Peter flew in from Oakland Ca for this and next weekend it's the Comic con in Austin. Don't you hate working weekends?

Ha,Yeah,I hate working on the weekends,I usually have Thursday and Friday off.I would really like going,I'm going to see if I can try to switch my days off for next week and try for next weekend.

The Festival was loads of fun! We had a really good time. Sorry I'll be missing you, but I still advise going out there to have a good time!

Aw man,I was kinda excited to get to meet someone from DA.I'm really glad you had fun though,it looks really fun!I want to go hopefully this year,I've wanted to go in the past

Well, no pressure but I'll be at the Austin Comic Con, the Wizard Con, this coming weekend. However, the Ren Fest is right there in your back yard and is a whole lot of fun! Either way, I'd love to meet a fellow DA artist.

And, by the by, when we attend the Ren Fest in costume, which we are planning to do again next year, your icon bears close resemblance to what I will look like. Mua ha ha ha...

I'm going to try to make this year,but I don't know if I'll get a chance with my work schedule.I'm going to have to make sure next year to definitely stop by and check out your awesome costumes.It sounds like your costume will be really great!!

About five years ago a boy about eight or nine saw me and peed himself. I'm guessing I've got the look pretty close.

And definitely make it if you can. Awesome experience and LOTS of boobage this year!

How did you shade it so clean and neat?
I wish I could draw an airplane.

HoustonTxArtist In reply to errisirre [2011-10-23 20:32:43 +0000 UTC]

To get it more smooth when shading,I like using a dull pencil,and lightly place some shading,then rub with my finger or tissue paper.I find it works pretty good to make it smooth looking,I use a really sharp darker pencil for the outlines

errisirre In reply to HoustonTxArtist [2011-10-24 08:25:20 +0000 UTC]

Wow! That would be awesome!
I think it's pretty easy, I'll try it for my future drawings.

Thanks!!I played around with the camera settings and edited the saturation a bit to make it look a little more realistic

Yeah it looks really effective, I'll have to try that myself on my next drawing

HoustonTxArtist In reply to lfcmadness [2011-10-22 21:27:05 +0000 UTC]

It works pretty good,I learned it can make it look more like a photo.I don't have photoshop or any good editing programs on my computer,but I go onto photoshop.com and use the express editor to touch up the saturation and hue settings.I kind of just guess on some stuff,and play around with them until it starts looking good,lol.I'm an amateur myself,I just recently really got into drawing a lot

Yeah it's great tbf, I've only done a few drawings myself, my problem is I can only draw what I can see, not much use for anything else I'm afraid!

Ha yeah I mess around with the Sliders on all the different bits on Photoshop, works out right in the end! Ha!

Same with me,I usually just draw with a picture in front of me.I come up with some all right drawings,but most of the time the proportions aren't rightI used to be more creative as a kid,but now that I'm older it seems I've lost a lot of creativity,lol

Ha I was just never creative! But it's good to know I'm not the only one that has a picture in front of me to draw!
