since i don't can afford this "hi-tech" boards (!!) i do some sketches on plain A3 paper! i took a photo of the image with a digital camera so the quality isn't the best... and sorry for the long download time.



this is a sketch i did from a capture from the movie "Romeo & Juliet".
you can find the orginal capture clip here: http://user.tninet.se/~eej850l/jshoot.jpg

please tell me what you think, and if you think there is something i could do with it so that it could look better (even if it's only a sketch...) cuase i'm not a pro like you see!!

don�t copy from a clip

paint it from your mind, good exersise for the imagination and good training. But look at pictures and stuff to see the angels and lights if you cant figure em out fo�yo self !

ceep it up...the picture is kinda big...

Wheeee! I like it !
And since I do alot of my stuff based on reference, I'd say don't listen to hurricane. Do your stuff based on reference, if you like. It's the best way to learn to draw, i think. ( Or at least a very good one. )

[A.Buttle]

I agree with Klaivu, drawing or painting from a reference, especially a live model, is the best way to learn not only how to draw but the finer points of things like anatomy, proportions, and how light falls on surfaces.

Also, I don't want to sound like a bitch, but if you have any sort of photo editing software, it is REALLY easy to make a picture smaller. Next time you should cut down the image to at least 1/8 of the 471 k that the image currently is.

Hm... On the other hand, you can only go so far with reference, and it will not teach you originality. I think originality is more important than technique. I guess it's another one of those balance-things.

thanks for the suggestions! i have now decided to try to draw things from my mind... even if i think it's pretty though.. if someone have any tip how to get started feel free to write 'em down!!

[Lange_Pisang]

...close your eyes and imagine the pic you want to draw...imagine HARD! Then draw with your eyes half open...

BTW, some mushrooms will help a LOT!
You can get them very easily in Amsterdam...
