[!]GUIDELINES:
The
characteristics of this room are explained in the
FAQ and in the
rules.
Be sure you know what's allowed and what is not before you begin to draw!
:)
[!] Before drawing in this room, please make sure you look over
the 3stars examples. If you are not sure if your work is
3 stars, draw in a lower star room then ask for a Star Rating (link in the menu at the top of the page).
Thank you for reading the rules and have fun drawing!
Because everyone is expected to keep the discussion civil. The moment people start arguing in public, and throwing insults around, the comments will be removed. If it continues, the perpetrators will be dealt with more severely. Imagine that you're in a public art gallery--if you start having loud, acrimonious arguments, you will be asked to cut it out and maybe asked to leave.
And please don't start with "I didn't mean it that way." It's how it comes across on the board that counts.
Ah. I do apologize my comment was not well recieved. Let me try again with a bit more tact. This reminds me of Falk's work. When I said it just falls short I SHOULD have added that it does have potential. Just give it a bit more love and care. Work those shadows in a bit more smoothely and add more detail? Perhaps she is wearing a bit of dark lace. Perhaps my gamma is up a bit high on my computer but I see every dark smudge in this that perhaps the artist does not see due to different settings on their display.
I just got finished watching the animation of this and I must say that I'm blown away. I'll definitely want to use some of your techniques in my drawings.
I disagree, I think this is beautiful as it is. Not everything has to be high gloss smoothness and refined. It says what it wants to quietly and roughly.
This is amazing. The rose is gorgeous, vivid, and not overly detailed so as to cast a shadow over the rest of the painting. Great detail in the face which even reaches to her eyelashes.
Hi! I'm back after what seems like years... and in a 3-star room, no less! I've never drawn in a 3-star room before, so this is kind of cool. Lol, I hope it's good enough...
Ehh... let's hope I never design clothes. That's one ugly-ass coat. -_-
At first when I was watching the animation I was like 'euh...not really 3 stars..' but by the end you had it fixed it up so much that it really represents an artistic side..
I also really like how her eyes are two different colors, brings a sense of rebellion to the picture in my opinion.. (I'm weird tho, so don't ask)
Wow. Amazing. One of the most beautiful pictures I think I have ever seen on here. I Everything seems realistic, yet not, her hair looks so silky and smooth and beautiful, and she deserves to be on the runway. Beautiful complection, and I love the contrast between her pail skin and the dark-ish coat and deep pink/red lip gloss. And normally, I would agree with you when you say that coat is hideous, but on her, it just.... I don't know... It just... Fits. Very very very good work.
Oh my gosh this is just masterful. The colors and technique used just bring this to life. I love how you brought out so much detail with even the eyelashes. The highlights give the illusion of real tangible objects. This is just wonderful.
Beautiful job.
I'm adoring the screaming ... tentacle ... thing.
The metals' glow is also very lovely and so attracts my eye.
What I like best of all though, is how soft her face is amongst the edgy chaos around her : )
Aaaaaaaaaah. Sooo pretty! I've noticed you before, but since i joined a loooong time after you drew your other pics in here, I didn't see the point in commenting (except on the piece you drew not too long ago). But now I can. :D
I really adore your style. <3 Please draw more. n_n
Wow... *.* This is incredibly, magnificantly, awesome... I have no word, this is just awesome :) I especially love the mouth,, and that little scary face down in the corner... lol :)
It's like she is a goddess of the sea who is at the same time tormented with an inner demon.(or outer demon)
She almost seems sad in those raging waves. I feel this piece is really beautiful.
I love this.I like how you made it realistic but then the small organic lines that scribble everywhere brings it down to being a picture. does that make sense? oh well its my favorite.
Wow. Just Wow. It is so scratchy and chaotic, yet her face seems innocent and at peace. Her eyes are mesmerizing, and her lips are perfect. Some of the little things are what makes this a masterpiece. Like the golden-amber reflection from the ring/necklace/thing on her hand. And the background looks like lightning, emerging from the water. Truly wonderful!
its so lovely! i could just sit and stare at if for hours. i really like how you mixed the watercolor and solid lines, everything is so textured! it's overall totally wunnerful ^__^
It took me a while to think of a suitable comment for this. I love the vivid colors, the screaming squid thing, and her gorgeous, soft face. The bright water in the background really brings out the brilliant hues in her eyes. It's creative, it's colorful, and you used the different drawing tools masterfully, I think.
Gorgeous work! Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett are instantly recognizable. I like the way you painted in grey tones, using just a touch of colour (similar to the style of the movie)... but I'm not so sure about the red box in the background (why draw the viewer's eye to it?) I love the way you did Sweeney's hair, and the hand holding the razor.
I really like this, but I'm not sure the anatomy and body positioning are 3-star. She looks a little stiff, and Sweeney's head is kind of big. But I love their expressions, and his eyes. :)
I really like the texture of Sweeney's clothes. Be careful of where the mouths go on the faces... If you cover his mouth he looks exactly like Johnny Depp. Hee hee hee.
I've never seen that movie, but I love this drawing! The hollowed-out/deep-set eyes look very victorian and um... romantic. he reminds me of a tragic heroine, haha. The skintones are fabulous, too.
I think some parts of the drawing look lineless, like the hair and the shirt, and getting rid of the rest of the lines (which are kind of scratchy) could make it look more polished.
I love you interpretation of Disney characters.
As mentioned above, certain areas could do without lines and there are areas that could use a little more refining.
The mouth is also very jarring against everything else, cause the rest of the lighting is soft and that one spot is very sharp.
Otherwise, I really adore this picture.... he's such a woman XD;;
Iiih. I love that movie. But his personality always irritated me. I dislike people who follow someone just because they're stronger than them, even thought they couldn't care less about other people. Mostly because I myself is such a bad judge of character, and I don't really have the courage to stand up to someone like that. Anyways, you really captured his personality well, and I love the folds on his clothes. :3
Great Drawing... But the thumbnail is incorrect. When I saw the thumbail the first thing I thought was... "Wow. Why is this still in the mainhall." But Now that I see your real picture I am impressed. I do not know this character, but It is very good none the less!
The painting of the two seems sad, but the background is contrasting and happy. Seems like they're in some sort of mermaid-induced turmoil. The child is so cute, looks just like mommy! My favorite part of this is the turtle, of course. He's just kinda floatin' by.. reminds me of me.
The only thing that bothers me is that the kid looks like she has a mustache! The hair on the mom could be a bit more watery, but I like it overall. Very colorful, great composition. :]
I think that Taure would know better than you whether or not something belongs in the mainhall, being that she was a mod here once :P. And isn't every picture someone draws practicing of some sort? I mean everyone practices to achieve a higher level than they already have, and if your skills are high enough, then sure its perfectly fine to practice a skill in the main hall. I see nothing wrong with that. And I love this piece to death :-3
I like it. I kinda wish there were more...definition? Not contrast, or saturation of color, but like...detail in the soil, a bit, or more of a gradual fade into the mist. But whatev, it makes me want to travel that road :D
I love this piece! It's so soft, and inviting. It seems like an illustration in a children's fantasy story. My favorite part of it is the plants next to the tree on the far left. So pretty! I can imagine myself taking a stroll down this little path... :)
OOoh me likey the shimmeryness of the grass. I think every piece of art doesn't need precise detail to be considered "good" I really love this...it's so dreamy...
It does feel like a dream. I realy want to walk down that path now. My favorite thing is that lovely little shrub on the right side of the road, it almost looks like an ashe juniper. Beautiful.
This is really very nice. I don't know why someone would say it doesn't fit in the Main Hall... I think it is more than worthy to be in here. I love the style in which you did the flora and fauna. Feels like an illustration out of a fantasy story book to me. Very Soft and magical. Kudos!
If the main hall "wasn't for practicing" I would like to see many images here gone. This is beautiful, and I agree nostalgic. Its very, or appears to be simple, but has a mysterious appearance to it.
taure, you've done so much better than this before; i don't think this is up to par with your other works
i especially don't think this kind of piece is suited for the main hall either; it's very undefined and it looks careless.
but then again nobody even uses this website anymore so does it really matter
This... this is... just, amazing. It's like you pulled my dreams out of my head and made an Oekaki with it. Very beautiful and yes, it is like a dream. It looks so serene and peaceful
hmm ..I should have plan out my composition before open oekakiBBS up. most time were spend searching for ideas.. about 10% done? ... please dont delete it lol >.<: need to sleep now. will continue tomorrow.
hmmm... retouch option only display at 500 x 500 which is the size of this pic, with all the tool boxes in the way. Is there a way to increase work area so I can see the whole pic when I do retouch? .... without it, I don't think I can finish this oekaki... >.<;
I... need to figure out how to use the edit feature for my comments.
anways..
This is the last scene of "Little Mermaid". The prince went into water and saved her before she evaporates into the deep ocean. And they live happily ever after~. (At least that’s the ending in my book. lol)
80% done, I think. going to add more details tonight.
this is really beutiful! The only thing that bothers me is that one of the breasts are larger than the other. But otherwise than that it is really a beutiful piece of art!
this is so beautiful. i was going to say that the mermaids hand was small but then i read your comments and realized shes evaporating like you said... o.o very lovely. next time do animated so i can learn to color like you <33
i think you really did a great job in the lighting, it's very hard (at least for me) to portray minimal lighting in dark environment. the picture has a dream-like quality with its subtle color palette and well-place highlights. awesome work!
the clock is backwards. it made me feel like i was stuck int he clock and she was looking in at me...but then the hands are on my side so is she stuck in the clock or am i?
this picture is really cool. very neat clock, i like the little pictures in the detail around the edges, especially the card pictures and the cross, they are hard to find in there. i like that.
*gapes* Untill i watched the animation, I did not relize that there was a girl "trapped" inside. I love how you have an eye at the bottom, a dog/dragon thing to the lower right, a cross to the upper left, the eagle at the top, and the spades, diamonds, and cclubs to the upper right. the hands look so realistic, and i feel like it's real gold! Your amazing! Im going to find some other pictures you've drawn, because I really like your style.
Woah, that is absolutely wonderful. You're very talented there. I love all the details and colors. I can see a person inside that clock. This picture is too amazing for words.
