Well, since I'm new here, here's some of my drawings - well, my Fantasy drawings.

I'm mostly drawing with a pen & paper, usually in the subway while going to work, or on the way home.
Before trying other things (mostly aquarelle - not sure of the english name - ?... but damn it's hard... but I'll master it someday)

Before trying coloring & stuff, I want to master sketching & basic drawing.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ! Matey !


Viconia De'vir


Firefly


Necromancer

It's a pleasure to have another artist in the SHS community. I did wonder... if someone had looked over your shoulder while you were drawing the Necromancer on the subway, would they have moved to another car?

[WeeRLegion]

Aside Viconia having her neck far out on her left shoulder that is quite nice stuff.

Firefly is my personal favourite ;-)
BTW I'd suggest you to replace the images with smaller versions (1000x1000 pixels is more than enough) because they take forever to load on slower machines ;-)

I love the light in Firefly! Such a soft, warm glow. Also the skeletons rising from the ground look neat.

Yeah, sorry 'bout the Pirate one, i didn't check it's resolution before uploading.
I usually upload images that are ~1280x1024

The last picture reminds me a lot about a work in progress fanfiction I'm co-writing with a friend for the Supernatural fandom. I like it! The other ones are really, really nice, too.

Hey, welcome to SHS.

Those are some impressive scribblings you've got yourself there.

But here's a tip. Don't hold yourself back and tell yourself you won't try doing art in other mediums until you master this one, because let me tell you something: you never will. That's the great thing about art--no one ever masters it. No matter how amazing you get, you can still get better. There is no such thing as perfection in art. But if you want to wait until you get *better*, that's fine. Just do what feels right. When the time comes to try something new, I guess you'll know.

But... but someday Aranthyys will RUUuuuUUuullle.

Ahem.

Played too much with Tiax lately

I know, but I definatly want to improve at sketching.
On the other hand, I'm starting to learn coloring, soo.. yep ... but I need to work at scenery, perspective & basic stuff.

So I still feel I need to take courses

I like Montaron's line ;-)

Oh and just in case :
If you're not getting it, it's a reference to "The Little Prince", by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.. not sure if it's as well known in other countries as it is in france.

[Grayana]

Eek! Quickly, someone rescue the poor Prince from the cluthes of Xzar! (Even if it's just a zombie Prince)

In Poland: yup, well known as school lecture.
Firefly looks great, Viconia too but with little exception of her belt with Bhaal's symbols! She's devoted follower of Shar so I dunno why she wears this sort of decoration.

Small update : Here's a small fairy, drew her yesterday in the subway on the way home.
Naked nakedness incoming



Made a few mistakes, her torso is a bit too long, so are her arms.
I also need to learn to stop shadowing my sketches. Or to use better paper. and better pens.
