I am in love with hands. I always watch them. They can tell so much about their owner. It might sound stupid but they can have so many "faces". Sometimes it happens to me that I don't remember the person's face or name but I can remember their hands.
And I love drawing them. They are quite hard for me but I love drawing hands so much.

What about you? What do you like drawing most? Hands? Eyes? Faces? Some creppy monsters or one certain person?

i like to draw faces, eyes especially. i usually always start out drawing them first. a lot of pages of sketch pads i have are just eyes that i gave up putting a face around.

i'm envious of you letti. hands are the devil. i have a really hard time with them.

Anyway I love drawing eyes, too. As a child all my books and nootbooks were full of eyes.

I doodle. I don't draw many actual objects. You know the flash art found in tattoo parlors, with the tribal and the lines and the curves and the swirls and that sort of thing? That's what I end up doing most.

Secret love letters to you Letti! <3 :wub:

But on a side note, 5 years back, at a age of 16, i wrote poems all the time. I still have the a whole book with all poems I wrote. Ofcourse, they are all love poems. The book is at my parents house, I might take a look and pick one out just for you! :D

I have shitty penmanship and this converts to a lack of even remote drawing skills. The only thing I draw is a paycheck.

I reckon that is why I take so many pics.

I like to draw fantasy stuff mainly - that way you don't have to adhere to standard anatomy rules. But I have a real passion for mermaids - I've got tons of mermaid sketches/paintings.

same here. not that i didn't like rolls, i just liked tripping more. this being new years is the anniversary of my biggest indulgence, and best new years ever in 1999/2000. that was quite a weekend, a lot of which still influences my art and music sensibilities [all in a positive way]. at least i remember it which is certainly not true of all of my exp with it. still mostly a positive. truth be told, i prefer mushrooms. all the trippy, none of the speedy.

Back on topic, I can't draw worth crap, but I will doodle sometimes to the best of my abilities. I like to draw women in medieval dress, or fantasy clothes. Interesting stuff like that.

You can draw anything you start with the eyes all the time?

Darkthoughts

Anything that has eyes, yep thats where I start :D Not sure why...but I've always done it that way...except for at art college where I had to pretend to do it their way :lol:

jayson
01-02-2008, 12:00 PM
whenever i draw people, or humanoid type things, i almost always start with the eyes [or sometimes one ear if i am drawing them in profile]. something about trying to make each pair of eyes i draw unique from all others. it doesn't always come out that way, but i do start there.

btw, i never did e, always acid or shrooms. and i bugged out hard in las vegas on acid in 2000 and haven't done any hallucinogens since. but those years definitely shaped how i draw and paint and think now, i believe in a positive way, but maybe also in a darker way. kind of. :)

I haven't done them for years for the same reason. Infact I haven't done anything in the last 9 years that I've been a Mum - having a hangover in the morning is bad enough, I couldn't handle a come down :D

I'll have the odd toke if I'm at a party or whatever...but pots different imo ;)


but those years definitely shaped how i draw and paint and think now, i believe in a positive way, but maybe also in a darker way. kind of. :)
Me too. I think it gave me a better perception of my subject matter, as in looking for abstractions in ordinary things. And use of colour - well, applying that awareness of colour you have when you trip out.

what do I like to draw most...hmmmm...
well

NEKID females - of course...:thumbsup:

seriously, after 8 nude drawing classes at the university of texas i do like drawing nudes quite a bit... men or women (though i like women better when using live models ;) )


after that... one of my favorite things is to either have someone scribble a line (or do it myself) on a piece of paper and then i have to use that line as a starting point and make something from it. when i do this... i'm not really doing the drawing...the pen is... i generally have absolutely no idea where the drawing is heading until it's almost through.

the below are two drawings that started out this way-both were done during hour-long boring meetings at work- i had a coworker scribble a line on some typing paper and then i just let the pen take off from there:

I like to paint people, especially people performing. If I could have a talent, I would love to be a great dancer, singer or musician...anything in the performing arts. Since I can't, I paint them or sketch them.

I used to always start faces with the eyes, too, but my favorite art teacher in high school gave me a couple tips that have really helped me over the years.

Boome, that's a pretty good idea just starting from a random line or scribble. Must really get your creativity going.

Letti

I have another question for you.
What's the hardest to draw for you?
For my faces. I cannot draw faces.

Tiffany
07-16-2008, 12:38 PM
Hands. Like Mike, I envy you with the hands. One of the things my art teacher told me is that hands are about as long as the face and that always made it harder for me. They looked too big and bulky, but otherwise, they looked too small.

I find it hard to do smiles, as well. I don't think I've got a smiling face in any of my paintings or drawings. They always seemed to look more like grimaces.

Jean

What's the hardest to draw for you?

people!!!
with that handicap of mine - namely, an almost total lack of visual constituent in my picture of the world, - I just don't remember what they look like. I don't mean some particular people - that goes without saying - but generally, how the human body is organized, the neck, and shoulders, and the rest.
Strictly speaking, I don't remember what anything looks like, but it's people who come out total monsters... you can't butcher a flower or a fish or a gate or a hunting horn too bad, you see... moreover, some things can just be reconstructed going by their purpose and logic of their parts, like, for example, a guitar or a house... while people just can't.

When I was a kid I loved drawing or painting clouds and I always coloured them blue. But one day an ugly and aggressive teacher came to my desk when I was around the age of 7 and drawing happily. She put her long finger with red fake nail on my pieace of paper told me the clouds weren't blue but white and the sky was blue.

Back when I was in nursery school. I remember one assignment we had where we had to draw a picture on a plate for a present for our parents. So I drew a picture of a little girl, and granted at that age my drawing abilities were very limited, so I drew these stick like hands. Well my teacher insisted that hands did not look like that and made me redraw them. So my nice little girl ended up with 4 arms instead!

Oh, it seems the world is full of such people. My teachers were the same, and thats why I draw my first picture in faculty.

And, still when I draw or paint something, people are always saying ''Why are you drawing weird things?'' :arg: And I think I just draw very normal things.
I don't care.

And Letti, I'd be very very happy if I could see your blue clouds. :drool:

growing up, I loved to draw the pictures from "CARtoons" magazine. I now like to draw mostly MC Escher's and portraits.
