Art Archive The Artist's Cantina: A Social Thread

Can a non-artist join in here?

There is no "joining". Everyone can (and is encouraged to) post artwork in this forum. And don't even concern yourself with "skill", for everyone is good at different things. We appreciate all kinds of art in here, at all levels. I hope you will post your own art thread and display your work for us to see. I look forward to it.

And hopefully soon, we will be engaging in some practices that will help better the skills of each of our artists.

 

I admit I do have a little of my art around somewhere, but none of it is Star Wars related, and I have no idea where it's stashed. Moved a couple of times.

I suppose I'd better dig out my pencils. That's the only way I'll have anything to post in a thread here.

As I said, I'm no artist. Well...there is ONE pic I've done that is sort of Star Wars. More like tracing, slight altering, and coloring in. And I could dig out my Star Wars coloring book. All I did with that was coloring it in, but it doesn't look too bad if I do say so.

I'll just have to see if I can find that.

<edit> And by 'joining in', I was referring to this social thread.

 

That too.

 

I have actually pulled out a pencil, and what little paper I have right now (index card) and started a sketch, and it's just as bad as usual. I actually got a simple face drawn, but the arms and legs...YIKES!

I really don't do people.

Buildings, I can do. Square buildings. Nice straight edges. Easy.

 

Welcome, Rocie! I am not talented like these folks either but I am currently the Temporary Moderator here.
Feel free to post your efforts once you have something that you like. I am sure the artists here will give you some constructive criticism!

 

I've actually picked up a pencil and drawn a lightsaber handle I've designed. It's on lined paper, so I'm going to re-draw it on blank paper before posting it.

I do appreciate all the encouragement here. I needed to get out and get new friends that help me feel better about myself, and so far, you'll do.

 

In this case, the drawing on lined was a bit rushed. I know I can do a better job with it. The lines are off and the curves could be better.

Perhaps I'll redraw and post both. Let the users be the judge. After all, often a person is their own worse critic.

 

Yeah, post 'em both! Glad you're having fun... I always find art to be very therapeutic myself

 

I can't wait for some images.

 

I've been a bit busy on another project the last while, so I haven't gotten to the re-draw, but I have scanned in the couple of things I have now. I'll start up a thread for it now. Just don't say I didn't warn you.

 

Probably better than the stuff I posted.

*uses drawing to whap OPPM*

 

Well, I have 2 pics posted. A link, anyway. The thread is "you asked for it"

You can check them out if you'd like. The saber, I'm going to revamp a bit.

 

Nice ones. BTW, I dare to post a few PhotoShop pics of mine:

If you want to see "real talent" blooming, check out these drawings done by my 3-year-old yesturday. Tori's 'Art'

I admit one needs to look past the scribbles and look at the overall shapes, but if you look at them big and with your creative minds, you can see King Arthur's Throne in the one labled 'Camelot', and the scene in ROTJ where Vader is watching Palpatine zap Luke on the 2nd Death Star in the one labled 'Star Wars'.

And, BTW, he told me they were Camelot and Star Wars with no prompting by me.

 

Start 'em out early...

 

Hey, all I did was give him the paper and crayons. With Camelot, I picked the colors, but he wanted more for the other one. Just left the box open on that one. He took it from there.

But, you see what I'm talking about? That Vader shape is perfect.

 

Cute kid....

 

Color to portray things, like a black jagged line being the lightning?

He did another pic today that I think is a Ninja Turtle. The one that wears purple. I'll add that one to the collection. Just start up a Tori's Art Gallery on-line here.

 

LOL! That stuff is funny!
