The Art Thread

I like your style, Pedestrian, though it's very different from the art I make. Do you do this for living? Graphic designing or something? Or are you an art student? Or just for fun? Also, how do you do these? I've never done pictures with computer, so I don't know the process. Enough questions? Let's see...hmm...yup, I think enough for now

Thank you! Truth be told, it's very different from the art I made up until now too; mine was more in the vein of what you posted (charcoal and graphite portraits). Creatures, concepts, and colour are all the opposite of what I thought my strong suits were, so this is a lot of fun for me right now.

I'm just doing this for pleasure at the moment. I'm untrained and unpaid, and this is just one of my little creative outlets. It would be amusing to see it take off into something more though!

What I do is I draw up the original idea, ink it, scan it, then I use ghetto-photoshop to add the colour in.

Bare in mind I never studied art, I only took it up 2 years ago as a hobby, I have not really ever painted people before, I thought I should start with myself last night. I wasn't very sobre doing this.

I wasn't drunk(;p), but thank you! ^^

I am not too happy with this one but my mother loves it. She put it up in the kitchen.

You said you weren't sobre, so I just assumed drunkenness. Well then, even stoned you're better than I am.

Thank you!

I clicked the link and my first reaction was a huge smile on my face. I don't know if it's supposed to make people smile, but it's great if an image makes people react spontaneously. You have some great ones on your fb page, too. I especially liked the cat in the diving suit.
