I know you didnt. Dont worry.

I didn't make this but I think it's so cool. This is an image of Krishna made out of cow dung, which is shaped and left to dry in a hot room. One of the women at the temple made it for a festival this week.

 

[Alice-Bee]

Thats certainly very interesting....

 

[Envy]

Uh, does anyone have tips if you want to start drawing?

 

[Alice-Bee]

Of course. What do you want to draw? Like Anime stuff?

The best tip is practice. I am self taught...just draw lots. Even trace till you get used to the flow of lines.
Find inspiration and influences. Make a folder and keep things for future refrence.

Would probably get a good grasp of the basics before I even try drawing manga, 'cause I also like it when they are moderately anatomically correct.

 

[Alice-Bee]

Find online tutorials...and just draw. Doesnt have to be nudes but it will help with anatomy.

 

[Cerebellion]

I taught myself anatomy by drawing old Savage Sword of Conan comics. They taught me a lot about crosshatching, too

 

[Blobbenstein]

I taught myself how to draw anatomy partly by drawing from pornography.....just the newsagent stuff.....bit rusty now. may be.

 

[Alice-Bee]

I took life drawing. Nude lifedrawing. And we also had a dancer come in and dance for us...this is sounding seedy.
Anyway the Uni wouldnt do a 'male' nude class for some reason..they just kept getting female models.

If we didn't vote in the first round, are we not able to vote in the subsequent rounds?

YAY!

Good luck in this round!!

I'm surprised by some of the others that made it through, not they aren't good, just not the ones I would have chosen.

 

[Alice-Bee]

Yeah there were some good ones.
There have already been 3 winners announced. This is for 4th and 5th place.

I think its turned into a popularity contest though...IMHO

Competitions like that normally do, unfortunately.

Regardless, your piece was excellent.

 

[Alice-Bee]

Thank you I really appreciate that

Last year I started some homemade vanilla extract...one with vodka and one with bourbon. I still have it so it is nice and strong now!

 

[Envy]

Vanilla vodka?
