Sketch thread #1: The female body

[The Dark Elf]

Can you stop with all this politics and criticism bullshit. And for everyone criticising Fleabaine's Iraqi girl picture, if i had done that, i would be very proud as it is much better then anything i could come up with. Fleabaine may be a little shit who likes shitting on other peoples work, but at least show him the courtesy you would want him to show you, and maybe we can get him on the straight and narrow.

So i will just reiterate what Unreal said, you should only criticise someone else's work if you can do better and you can better the other person by criticising it. And Dark Elf, like i said, if i had done that Iraqi girl picture, i would be very proud and the thought of my mum wetting herself laughing at it would make me give up art forever, so please watch such comments like that. I could understand it if Fleabaine had mocked people by drawing a stick figure with breasts, but not by the Iraqi girl drawing.

Good criticism is criticism that motivates the person to try harder.
Bad criticism is critcism that motivates the person to give up.



In saying that, you're proving that you're no better then Fleabaine is.

your taking the side of a troll. FYI

go search his other posts and see how he behaves around here with everyone, instead of giving him the satisfaction.

Oh and if you'd drawn that pic, you'd have got a better response because AFAIK you haven't used all 96 posts to insult, harrash, abuse, attack, belittle, flame, troll the forums and other users.

his is something that Sulkdodds pencilled during science, and I inked during English. oh yea we also did some of that... work... stuff....

Obviously the woman has been shot, and is being cradled by a mysterious man. I like to think that in her last few moments on this earth, the woman has finally realised what she has been living for; why she woke up in the morning, and what lulled her to speel at night. That thing was love- the love of another, their soft touch, their affectionate eyes and the knowledge that they will always love you. With these thoughts swirling round her head in her final moments, she realises that she doesn't need to cling on to the tatters of her life anymore- and with the warm sensation of enlightenment in her weary heart, she dies peacefully, no longer searching for a meaning in her life.

Sulkdodds, however, thinks that the emotional tears, subtle smile and outstretched hand are simply a random movements that occur when your brain is shutting down, and mean nothing more than a cluster of meaningless actions.

Only thing I can notice about this pic, that strikes me as needing critique, is the fact that the arms appear very long from elbow to finger as he cradles her. Also, her thumb seems a bit small in proportion to the hand/other fingers.

Other than that, fantastic, I like it.

I don't think he was siding with the troll. I think he was just trying to convey that vicious attacks no matter the side, really don't work much to accomplish anything and will only lead to an increasingly downwards spiral of attacks and hate posts, which will make the mods lock the thread.

That is my point, if he is harrassing people, who will get warned, warned some more, and then banned. But the point i was trying to put across was people were not liking his art, not because it was really shit, but because of the comments he had made about others work.

edit: sorry to TheDarkElf, i wasn't trying to attack you or the others, i just thought that his work was getting criticised unfairly because he was a troll, not because of his artwork. And i could of definately put that point across a lot better in my original post.

Thanks The thing about me and Sulk's work is that we always have to do it in lessons that we aren't doing anything in, which means Sulk sketches it quickly, and I usually don't notice any proportional errors until after I've inked it. The same goes for the picture I posted in the new Character design thread.

And Razor- I know you're only trying to be nice, but it's not like Fleabais deserves anyone's sympathy.

 

[Shippi]

Come on guys, this argument is pointless. Fleabaine, you're a mediocre artist at best. You've obviously got potential, but you're not there yet. You're in no position to put down other people's work like that. Even if you were the greatest artist ever known you shouldn't do that. How about instead of insulting, some constructive criticism?

TDE, yeah he's a troll. Still, don't judge his artwork on that. I can see why you've said what you have but don't sink down to his level. If he doesn't want to listen to advice, and prefers to go around thinking he is better than everyone, let him. In the long run he's only hurting himself.

Now can we please try get back on topic? I might post some more drawings later

I remember the days when trolls out to cause trouble were banned on sight, not allowed to continue to cause trouble for other users.

 

[Razor]

Ok, the guy is gone.

Now let's get back to those drawings .

though talked to suicide a little about that FF competition type thing, could maybe do that (the one that involves a proper contest, the fanfic section and the sketches open to anyone)

 

[CREMATOR666]

I will always join, you all know that

 

[Yuri]

... I like the drawing, Suicide42.

*Runs away*

 

[ktimekiller]

that guy whos flaiming (i forgot the user name), his drawing, it seems odd. to me, it seems printed out, or something, the lines, they are all going in the same direction a printer would, anyone agree?

I just thought that he had a hard time shading it. I also didn't think it was as horrible and atrocious as everyone lashed out at him for, but it definately wasn't a masterpiece and didn't give him permission to bash other people's work (although nothing really does, but even more so because he was full of himself )

I think it is a style of shading a picture where you would draw lines to darken particular area, the more lines you put in, the darker the area.

It's an interesting way to shade, but he didn't do it right.

What else is there to talk about? Like two people posted art in here, and he was one of them.

 

[CREMATOR666]

Actually, I would like to clear this up that the "guy" is a "girl"

Sexist! Someone call the authorities!

Oh noes you're the authorities!!!!

Girl or not, s/he was a bitch either way

Maybe Fleabae was trying to say she/he is a better sketcher because don't you use the computer program photoshop on your pieces, Cremator?

Sorry

I guess my picture of death doesn't class as a picture of a woman?

 

[CREMATOR666]

All dead people do is rot....

 

[Druckles]

But he has no balls, or any other distinctively male feature (in my drawing), so he could class as a woman right?

Ok, I'm going to have to stop spamming and get on with my ICT

A straight confession! Very honorable! :cheers:

Can we have some more pictures of some women please, not dead people who lack balls.
