HOMECOMING

  • Mood: Glad
  • Listening to: Vampire Weekend
My DeviantArt days seem soooooo long ago...Back when I used to Dodge and Burn and claim it's digital painting. Haha. I think artists face twice as much self-embarrassment when they reminisce. You don't just revisit photos of your awkward stages in high school, but also the drawings that you made several years ago, when your art was also going through puberty. You can only wonder why you found your creations so amazing at that time, when they actually look embarrassingly tacky at present.

I changed A LOT in a good way, thanks to four years of molding in the UP School of Economics. Funny how being in Econ also made me a better artist.

Well, I've already graduated from the University, and have just started work two weeks ago. Though my work doesn't require me to do art, I'm one of few people who will experience high-calibre management training in a prestigious ad agency, so I feel very lucky.

Now, it's precisely the fact that my job doesn't require me to draw that I'm gonna revive my DeviantArt account. Since I'm a closet artist at work, I figured I'd need a place to come home to my art when I'm not working. I think DeviantArt is that right community. So, hello again. I opened this account in 2004. After five years, I am proud to say that I have better stuff to show...soon. :)

Hey hey! Sorry for the very delayed reply! I haven't been checking DA, and I'm just really busy at school.
Anyway, the BMX drawings are really no biggie. It's all about the photo reference. :) Take pictures of your friend, preferably from below (so you can get a good distorted angle) while the bike's in mid-air. :)

With regards to the final output, personally, I think it's how you ink it that makes the drawing pop. Pay attention to the tires. They're tedious to fill in (those inked square-ish patterns), but they help the drawing a lot overall when properly inked. :)

Practice. Practice. Practice. Perfect.
no problem, i've been quite busy with work and school myself :faint:
ooh ok thanks for the advice on the BMX drawings! wish me luck! ^^; it'll be my project to get done by Christmas so we'll see how it turns out =)
