Well hello there comic.
I tried to keep you nice and simple.
But you took me 5 A4 sheets of paper and three weeks to finish.
D: You're an Oglogoth of a comic.

Yes, I forgot to draw Equius's gloves. Sorry.
And THERE IS NO ANATOMY OR PROPER LIGHTING. NONE OF THEM.

I really like your art! Even though their are hard lines and sharp points in it, you convey a kind of softness to it all that, for lack of better words, makes me feel cuddly! ... I probably sound like a creeper, don't I.

Thank you! And no, you definitely do not. You make an interesting point, actually - I really do rely on hard lines, but I try to make my art look soft (mostly because of shading or color choice). I envy people who can make art look angular but still beautiful, it's a quality I've always lacked
How long have you been drawing? I'm curious

All my life, but I just do it for fun. I do not have the skill you have, but I am always trying improve. How long have you been doing this kind Sir/Madam?

Miss :>
I've been drawing for my whole life, as well. I don't have skill though, my art is pretty much worthless since nobody would actually buy it. People don't commission me, no matter how much I advertise, so skill or art level doesn't actually matter much in the grand scheme of things. Do you think drawing is fun? :>

TORVUSANDFRIENDS In reply to meteor-echo [2013-10-13 16:04:07 +0000 UTC]

If I didn't I wouldn't be here. I love art, good or bad. If it has heart and passion in it, it's good to me. You have VERY good art. Now, about those Commissions?...

meteor-echo In reply to TORVUSANDFRIENDS [2013-10-13 16:22:37 +0000 UTC]

I guess I'm my own worst critic. Art used to be fun for me, but it hasn't been such for a very long time, because, no matter what I draw, it feels wrong. You're lucky to feel this way about your art :>
Hmm... you're interested in commissioning me? :>

Weeeeell... I have no money, so I kindly ask for, perhaps, an art trade? I could do 2 things for 1 request for you? (I feel kinda pathetic and leechy right now)

meteor-echo In reply to TORVUSANDFRIENDS [2013-10-13 16:39:25 +0000 UTC]

Well, guess I could do one trade. What would you like me to draw?

Well, only if you want, but could you draw my 2 OCs Libra and Pagan like hanging out? Her is some art I did of them (prepare for bad artwork)

Your drawings are lovely soft touches.
I love them <333
Do you use ordinary drawing paper and 4B pencils ?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

meteor-echo In reply to SRAYA [2011-11-07 19:39:33 +0000 UTC]

<3

No, I use watercolor paper and the following pencils:
H for sketching and basic outlines, HB/n2 for all the shading (they're the cheap pencils wrapped into green plastic), and HB for thick outlines. I don't use really soft or hard pencils because they're difficult for me to draw with.

What kind of paper and pencils do you use for your works? :33

SRAYA In reply to meteor-echo [2011-11-07 23:39:35 +0000 UTC]

Aww thank you for the information

I usually use a mechanical pencil(the lead is B & 0.9mm) and ordinary paper for copy machine

I must buy the pencils which you use <333
I want to be able to draw like you XD

meteor-echo In reply to SRAYA [2011-11-08 18:05:47 +0000 UTC]

Whoa, you do all your drawings with one pencil? Damn, that's difficult (>*Д*)>

I use these for sketches and outlines: [link]
And these for the shading: [link] (I don't really care for the brand, I just buy the pencils with the certain graphite number)
;u; Thank you <3
