Lois & Clark Forums Forums General Discussion FoLC Productions drawings?

does anyone draw? does anyone post their drawings? just wondering.... so i can sit here and be green with envy. or cry my eyes out that I can't.

Yeah I am an artist. I drew this in ink. Laura

Great ink drawing, Laura!


I also lurk around as an artist. I did this one in pencil...trying to get more of an illustrative fun thing going on than just a realistic drawing. I'm also working on a fanfic illustration in Illustrator that I will post when I'm done.

Nice work Laura.Well done web site as well.

Shadow, hope to see your finished work soon.

wow, that's great!
Please show an other one!!

*sigh* now i have people to hate....

(i wish there was a smilie with eyes closed in peace......)

shees. I used to draw. i still have fantasies about illustrating my stories. gaaaah. i hate you people. keep posting stuff.

Sileas just take a drawing class, anyone can learn. Also a really great book is "Drawing on the right side of the brain" by Betty edwards. It will have you drawing in no time

I miss drawing too. I only seem to complete a great project if I am mad!

I don't have anything LnC though. I did do a Keanu Reeves...Dean is cuter though.

Maybe I'll get in a funk and draw.

Good stuff guys.

actually, I got that book! and the sequel, Drawing on the Artist Within! very very very very good books. but there's one thing them books don't got, and that's ....

making me draw "every day". ok, maybe not every day, but.....I used to be good, back when i was a teenager and into my early 20s, but then I stopped drawing for some reason, and if you stop....well, use it or lose it, and I lost it. I whipped out the pencils last night and tried to draw an eye. just an eye. one eye, fer cryin' out loud! I used to draw eyes with photographic realism, about as good as you could with a pencil. can't anymore. lost it.

I know there's that "works in progress finishing" thing going on, but i've got a better one for me. I'm going to promise myself to do one drawing every week.... oh, i gotta shuddup. me and my long posts. but really, it's a matter of practicing every day. My drawing portfolio must weigh 12 pounds, but i haven't contributed to it for.....well, probably on the order of a decade.

I used to draw everyday when I was in junior high. I can't now b/c I can never figure out what to draw...I have tried many things. My dad was an artist so I used to hope I'd get better with age. Nope. I hit my plateau and ran with that. I have no patience now and I am never happy with what I make.

Good will power to do it regulary!! Even though I enjoyed it, I didn't do it often. Yeah, it's hard to jump back on the drawing wagon once you've been off for a while.

I found I tried to do some LnC stuff in 2003. I looked through my art stuff. Gee it's bad!

Sometimes if you give yourself a deadline, you can get the juices flowing. A new LnC newsletter is accepting work due Dec 1. Send them something why dont ya: sosic_editor@thelexifiles.com

Thanks for the plug. And yes we would love to have artwork!

Actually the email address is

soslc_editor@thelexifiles.com .

I noticed the above one was spelled incorrectly.

Nice work, Laura and Shadow!

I love drawing too, but I'm not that much of a talent. (/me joins Sileas in the jealousy department.) I can only produce some decent stuff when I feel *really* inspired. During the past three months, I've only drawn three pictures and they're all on my desk at school (I drew my avatar myself, though, in Paint.) I love seeing drawings too, so I'll be following this thread!

See ya,
AnnaBtG.

Hmmm maybe I will be inspired to pick up the pencil again. We'll see. Laura

I have absolutely *no* drawing talent. My artistic talent was all reserved for music and linguistics . . .

Doranwen, you really should check out the books that Laurach recommended, the Betty Edwards books. Drawing On The Right Side Of The Brain and Drawing On The Artist Within. Heck, just go to a bookstore, find a copy, and look at the before and after drawings. It's downright scary how people improve, really.

drawing mouths, especially smiles, frightens me. I've rarely been brave enough to attempt it, and only got it right (sorta) once. So I used one of the Betty Edwards tricks, drawing one upside down. it.....didn't suck! I've done a couple of "scribble" drawings since I first posted here, and am slowly getting close to the idea that perhaps I'm not doomed to drawing hell afterall....

very seriously, go at least look at those books, and ya know, you can do the same thing. It's amazing. truly. really. honest and truly.

I wish I had the real subject to look at instead of a photo. Photo's make it easier then life, but they are also more stilted then life. There is an energy to a life drawing that is missed here. Oh well. I am out of practice but this gives me an excuse.
I think I am done for now. Not thrilled with it but considering I had a number 2 pencil and I had to sharpen it by picking it with my fingernale....

Wow...that's pretty darn good if you ask me!

OMG! Love it, Laura!

See ya,
AnnaBtG.
