Sammy's Sketches of Stuff... And She May Actually Post Somthing... If You're Lucky...

[Sammy]

Hey guys! I'm new to the group, and I'll try to get something halfway-decent up soon! :)

[Jia, FAIL JIA.]

Can't wait to see your art, Sammy! :D

[Karma]

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!

[Sammy]

Okay, here's one sketch, and I seriously mean SKETCH. It's just a quick drawing I made of my friend with obviously regular pencils, but the scanner made it look a lot lighter than it really is.

Is there any way to make the picture show up in the comment and not in a link?

[Sammy]

I've always had some trouble with the whole shading thing... What technique do you use? I always tried shading lightly then rubbing it, which made it look pretty awful most of the time.

Wow, it's great to get real feedback! Thanks!

[Sammy]

(I just finished a Hunger Games drawing in a more-or-less cartoony style- I'll get it up as soon as I stop being lazy and actually walk upstairs to use the scanner :P)

[Sammy]

'Kay, I greatly fear this may become one of those dead topics, so I'm gonna scan some stuff from my sketchbook on here RIGHT NOW!

[Jia, FAIL JIA.]

Yay! :D

[Sammy]

Okay, here's one. Before you ask what the heck this is, I was experimenting more with drawing eyes, and I drew an okay eye, but I didn't like it because it was too different from my usual style. Then I drew an eye from side-view. Then I drew and eyebrow. And a nose. Forehead. mouth. outline of head. And that's basically all I have. It's VERY sketchy and it pretty much looks like a bald person (Did I mention I hate drawing hair?) with freakishly huge eyes.

But enjoy!

I'll get the Katniss doodle up in a sec.

[Sammy]

Here's the Katniss doodle. It's her right after her wedding dress turned into the beautiful mockingjay dress Cinna designed. This one's more cartoony, but I do like it :)

Ha, the eyes I draw are an arc and a dot of some sort. xD But, the eye is quite nice, I like it a lot. It's okay to branch from your usual style, experiments are experimental. But, I get what you mean. I always revert back to my usual style after an experiment. :P

Whee, Mockingjay dress. I have never been able to draw that thing. :P You captured it nicely. I also like your handwriting.

[Sammy]

Thanks, Jia! The mockingjay dress is surprisingly one of my favorite parts in the series, despite all the suspense and action I could really be getting into. But seriously, all the fashion statements in the series are so strange I can't help but be facinated by it. Hey, maybe I should draw Katniss's prep team! :)

If I ever want to change my style of drawing, it always takes me a REALLY long time to make that change stick. But I don't think I'll be sticking with the change that's in the first sketch I posted today.

[Jia, FAIL JIA.]

No problem. I always loved all the parts when Collins was describing Katniss' clothes. :3 The prep team and Cinna are my favourite characters, good luck drawing them. I always had problems envisioning Capitol fashion, sometimes it was really outrageous, and I thought "how could someone wear that on a daily basis?" I wonder how much time it took them to get read in the morning. (Wait, they probably have a machine for all their hair and such. :P)

That's fine, just stick with the style that you find most comfortable. :)
