Newcomer with "good art tastes"

Well I think I spent like 3 hours on this. Thats too much.

[santi]

that's great!!! (3 hours is not that much for a full page drawing. I know it lol)

btw, whats that green thing?

[Chris]

maybe the scanner messed up anyway good stuff ......Donnie!

[Angstwolf]

Awesome. xD

[VenM2]

My scanner is tiny. It can only like do a 8.5x11 and I'm scanning off a spiral notebook. BTW, DC says that it takes him like an hour to do a 15X4 strip. My paper obviously took longer. Care to guess on what will happen next? Will Millie drive my fursona crazy? Will Isolde come by (she claims to be sick in the story background)? Will a miracle happen? I think you'll like the conclusion. I'll even include it in full color !

well, but we are not dcs, right? it takes me like 3 hours to draw and ink a drawing in a regular print paper

[Angstwolf]

Oh, I forgot to mention: I think it would look better if you didn't go so heavy on the ink. Make the lines a bit thinner.

[santi]

i agree, you could add more details if you used a thinner brush

[VenM2]

Ahem. Pen/Brush Damage. The once sharp and soft tip is now flattened and now make HUGE marks. I'll be going to college for classes tomarrow and my second class is right next to our book/supply store. I'll be sure to pick up a "mighte' fine brush".

[VenM2]

It's all about practice. Not practicing to be a better artist, but practicing to be able to do your chosen style more naturally. My stuff used to take me at least 4 hours, and now even the most complicated ones take about 1-1.5 hours...if I'm paying attention. Most time I'm out of it or get distracted...by this forum for example.

AH SMEG!

Can you do mine too?

[VenM2]

In a way the practice thing is true, but why does it still take me like half an hour to just draw one of my character whom I drew dozens of times... perhaps it is my style. I really want to ask now, seriously, what do you guys (and gals) think will happen to my character in the next strip? It's already preplanned and layed out I just wanna hear some oppinions. I WILL be making a sort of comic strip series so speak up.

I couldnt predict much, since u havent shown us a lot of the story.... are u drawing it and then uploading it or do you have 'em ready to be posted already? Im curious
