Lisa, the Simpson!

There, all fixed. It's not good, but I'm happy with the results. Anyway. Lisa is saying: C4H8O + C4H9OH -----> C4H7O2C4H9 + H2O. And Bart doesn't understand one bit of what she is saying...

Hehe! Hey not too bad man. :) I know this is going to sound cleché'd to everyone but, reminds me of my older drawings... My advice is simply keep putting pencil to paper, listen to the critiques, dont be afraid of showing off your work. :)

Try copying images from drawing guides, or peices of art from impressive artists, or even grab-pics. They embed things like size and proportionality, placement, and remind you to not to shave Lisa's eye lashes off. ;) But at the same time, draw your own idea's. You can always go back to them when you feel you could improve them.

I'll point out a few of the easiest problems to solve;
 - Lisa's eye lashes. There should be 4 on each eye
 - Barts hair should slightly curve upwards
 - Draw the limbs bigger and more rounded. Chubby limbs are easier to correct than skinny ones.

Other than that, nice one! Keep at it. :)
(Gotta love those HydroCarbons!)

Wow, I totally forgot Lisa's eye lashes... Thanks for pointing that out!  :)

A drawing I've been working on for a while... Okay I'm lying it took no more no less than one hour to make it... Let me introduce you to the newest Simpson kid: James (the tall one). You all know Eric. And The usual: Lisa, Bart and Maggie. Once again, It's not good, but I'm happy with the results.

El_Barto
One nitpick - unless it was intentional, James is playing the guitar left handed. A lot of artists make this mistake, even though it can easily be salvaged. It's the reason why a lot of guitarists are left-handed in amateur pictures. :P

GeorgeHarrison
Yes, it was my intention to draw James playing the guitar left handed, because he's left handed... And so needs to play the guitar that way... Anyway, it was my intention  :)

El_Barto

Lisa_and_Bart_Chemistry
*ROFL* at Bart's reaction :gigi: Made me laugh out loud.
Funny and nice idea, I like this drawing. There are certain mistakes with proportions, but if you keep drawing, they will go away in no time.

Simpson_Kids
Wow, a complex drawing with good plot... No idea where quite grownup James came from *imagines Marge's surprise :D*, but all kids turned out rather nicely on this picture, even Eric. Of course, Lisa looks the best, in that hat and with her sax. The same remark about proportions applies, but this pic seems to better technically than the first one. For some reason, the style remind me of Casper's. Good job, please keep drawing!

El_Barto
"Simpson Kids" is a very good picture. You're progressing, keep it up!
My 2 personal nitpicks:
1) They're standing in a row, it could be better, if you'll add more depth somehow, arrange them in a different way.
2) Please, please, could you make your future pics weight less kilobytes? :)

You're draw not bad at all, I love the look you give to their faces and the fact you're not afraid to draw more than one character. Nice work!

Dagdamor and brakusaetsya
Thank you for your comments  :)

And brakusaetsya, I'll try to make my future pics with less kilobytes  ;)

Fixed: Moaning Lisa.

El_Barto
Poor Lisa... I liked your previous picture more, it's not because of the mood, but because it was... more "compact" maybe? Here, Lisa is just a little part of the drawing, which is much bigger than my screen resolution, so I have to zoom it out to see whole picture, and small details like Lisa's sax become hard to distinguish then. I like the idea of this drawing though. Don't take my words hard please :) someone else might think different.

Dagdamor
Ah not at all, as long as there aren't any bad comments, I'm happy  :). I have to fix something in that drawing. Lisa's hand just... isn't well drawn if you know what I mean... I'll fix it today maybe. Anyway, thanks for the comment

My first drawing this week, it isn't very good, because I was like: study, study, study, test, test, test, and if I'm lucky, I won't get any bad grades... :rolleyes: but anyway, the pic is kinda cool  :). So, this pic is simply James walking along with Lisa and Allison or at least what looks like to be Allison..., and James is looking a little... I don't know, annoyed? Use your imagination. Maybe he's annoyed because Lisa is saying good stuff about him and he thinks she is exagerating, anyway, that university behind them is a new university, built after Quimby lost the elections to Barney, at least in that reality... :confused: Enough talking, I'll let you judge it. Enjoy.

P.S.: This is probably my last drawing until my birthday.

[img=http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/4381/springfielduniversityvz0.th.jpg] (http://img212.imageshack.us/my.php?image=springfielduniversityvz0.jpg)

Pretty Good stuff there El Barto! I like the new charater James.

Lisa's spikes seem a little big and she seems to have too few though.

I do like the clothes that you put Allison in though and the backpacks you have drawn are ace! I can never draw backpacks.  :rolleyes:

LISA: I can't believe I'm going to the university to leave social hierarchy behind me!

El_Barto, nice drawing, if only a bit heavy (again...) But you did a nice job with the characters. Lisa looks pretty good in that hat. James doesn't look as excited though :p
My only con-crit: please resize the picture before linking to it. 1700x2300 is just too much, unless you have thousand of characters on a pic. 1000 pixels width is enough for pencil drawings. Aside from that, I like your latest picture. :) Keep drawing!

Maggiecute
Lisa has only three spikes, because, no matter what I did, she always looked kind of like Sonic  :confused: Anyway, glad you liked the pic  :p

Dagdamor
I won't forget to resize the next pic  :p Glad you liked the pic too  :)

She better be off looking for the seven Chaos Emeralds then. :P Will Bart look like Tails. ;)

While the Hands/Feet look pretty small/thin, the rest is pretty decent.

Well, I'm just an amateur  :p I'm sure with a little more practice, the drawings will get a lot better

Heh I didnt know there were more wolves on this forum. My b-day is the 18th of February. so we can party for two whole days in celebration. :D

Wheeee, another pic... Listening to music while in bed gives me some sort of inspiration and it came out this way. I have more ideas but they'll have to wait 'till my birthday  :p Anyway, here it is...

(http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/3801/lisahoodpn6.th.jpg) (http://img218.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lisahoodpn6.jpg)

P.S.: It's a bit less heavy this time   :D
P.S.S.: The arrows aren't sticking out anymore, it might seem they are, but they aren't sticking out  :p

El_Barto
Nice one! I love the way you've done the details - her boots, gloves, hat... She's kinda shy here to be Robin Hood, but actually this role fits Lisa good - she can perform justice :p
My only nitpick - shouldn't her arrows be reversed -positioned with their points inside the quiver, not sticking out? I thought it usually so.

Meh, first try, I won't forget it next time. Or I can just fix it... I'll think about that...  :confused:

Okay, I know it's a little early, but since Valentines Day is coming up, I drew this. It took me three hours to draw it, because, eveytime I tried to draw Lisa's hair it came out wrong. I drew her hair like 10 times or more and this was the best. Well, enough talk, enjoy it  :)

(http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/4278/valentinesdayoa0.th.jpg) (http://img184.imageshack.us/my.php?image=valentinesdayoa0.jpg)

El_Barto
She looks very thin, almost like she was ill for a long time, and her left wing is way bigger than right one. But still, I like this picture. It seems that you have adorable style and special feelings for Lisa, nice to see that.
Oh, and I like the big rising sun.
Keep it up, please, it's a pleasure to see your cheerful pictures!

brakusaetsya
I can't really draw wings  :red: And, yeah, she looks thin... But that doesn't make her look any less cute  :D

El_Barto
Fisrt, I want to bring my excuses for not commenting your gallery. That one is Lisa-dedicatred in the best way surely. It's very pleasant to see such one place where the artist adores our little girl :)

Lol at the "Chemistry", I understand Bart here perfectly :p Sometimes Lisa tends to saying things the others really can't bring out. But favourite is "Simpson kidz", it has much characters quite good drawn and Lisa's playing the sax here very believable. I like her outfit :) "The Moaning Lisa" and "Valentine's Lisa" is very emotional, it's nice to see those pictures when you're in the proper mood though... And Lisa Hood is interesting, contains again well-worked clothes details and very pleasant Lisa-s expression. I like your gallery. :lisa:

Yggdrasill
Thank you for the nice words.  :)

El_Barto
Wow how did I miss this thread. Anyway I love your style even though there are some slight problems with proportions I still love each picture. Lisa still looks very cute and the emotions coming from each drawing are brilliant. I very much like the hats you are drawing on Lisa they make her look adorable. The overbites are just slightly mis-shaped for my taste but other than that the drawings are excellent. Please do continue drawing ;)

P.S I love your avatar :p

Sadly., I have been SOOOOO busy these last few weeks I have not had a chance to pop in and I totally missed this tread.

Loving your work here, as others said, a couple of minor mistakes but your style captures the mood perfectly.

I LOVE the chemistry one, a simple drawing but a funny one. Definately hoping to see a lot more :)

Jimmy and Empethree
I don't really know what else to say except thank you... So... Thank you  ;)

El_Barto
Like both pictures, the second one especially. The first one features nice idea though, you reproduced her expression very well, to my opinion... I just hope she won't shoot at Milhouse holding an apple in his mouth :D Good job with this drawing, there are not too much mistakes. You should it color someday, I'm sure it will turn out great.

The second picture makes me smile and melt. :) She's adorable!

Okay... What to say about this one...? Well, I guess this one as something to do about me, I'm trying to make peace with someone, but he/she doesn't care... I think this drawing has a lot of meanings and for me that is the right one... I was going to put a little part of the lyrics from the song Away From the Sun by Three Doors Down, but I ended up putting this... I know, it's a little bad drawn, but I really wasn't in the mood of drawing something...  :( Anyway, try to enjoy it...

El_Barto
Still I think Lisa's expression works here. And her head and hairs is really nice.
...It's understandable for me that no one can be perfect. And the sad emotions came insuperable at times. Waiting for sunny days...

So, I haven't posted any pic later... That's because I've been a little low on imagination. Here is my latest pic:

(http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/4897/lisanp3.th.jpg) (http://img89.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lisanp3.jpg&s=1)

I don't know if, for you, it looks like Lisa, but for me it does.

So, this pic is simply called: Lisa.
I wanted to do a pic having something to do with the song: You Are My Hope by Skillet. But instead I drew this! (I don't really know why...)

Well, I don't have much to say about it. Enjoy

And Yggdrasill, I'm happy you liked my previous pic, I drew Lisa's hair like 10 times or more, I don't know.

El_Barto
Great drawings once again. You did a good job showing Lisa's inner world on those pics. :)

ohhh ! your last pic (lisa) is so cute!
is her expression and the beatiful scene... thanks by sharing and please keep drawing  :)

(and sorry by my bad english)

I love this picture, especialy her new style of hair. :)
*makes plans to steal in future drawings*

I like how its such a calm situation, dispite the clear dangers of the cliff's. And technicaly, she is on model with her face, and I particularly like how you've drawn her fingers (even if they are a tad small) :)

One thing to change, is her feet. It looks too 2D, and would look better if her feet and shoes where more 'interacted' with the floor. Hard to explain but it just doesnt quite look like she's planted properly. But not a biggy. ;)

Keep it up! I love the previous works too. :) (sorry havent been around to comment much :red:)

Well, here it is. Another pic. Gotta warn you though: Colin (oops I said too much) is a little bad drawn... But, aside from that, I think it's a really good pic.

(http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/1640/lisacolinhx1.th.jpg) (http://img148.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lisacolinhx1.jpg)

Casper
If you try to steal Lisa's hair style, I'll call police chief Wiggum :p Just kidding :)

Gustavo
I certainly will keep drawing  :)

Dagdamor
Thanks  :)

El_Barto
I think Colin turned out nicely on your pic, I'd recognize him even without sign.
As well as Lisa did. Pretty nice sketch, I look forward for some colored works. :)

No, doubt. This is quite good. Especially Lisa is pretty close to the professional work. I don’t know about Colin. But maybe it is because I newer really studied his character.

 :) this skecth is very nice... in reality Colin have luck... Lisa look adorable...
other beatiful piece of art...

El_Barto
Very nice pictures!
Last one is so cute - I like their pose and shy faces with blushing cheeks! You've done that atmosphere of first crush great!

As for previous picture - nice outfit for Lisa - looks like she is dressed for a school prom :)

Everyone (it's easier than to say thank you over and over again to everyone xD)
Thank you!  :D

And here it is! A parody of Half-Life 2 Lost Coast!

The name of this drawing is: Zero-Life 4 Lost Simpsons... And "why does that pic have that name?" you ask, well, it really goes like this: St. Olga, located somewhere far away from Springfield, was taken over by Combine soldiers (freaky soldiers...) and they capture The Simpson family. Only Homer was left behind because he was at... the... flower shop! :homer: (yes, that will do...) when he returns home, finds that the family had been captured (I don't know how he discovered they were in St. Olga but okay...). So, there he finds a fisherman who guides him through his fight for his family survival and his own. Did I mention the Combine were planning to blow up St. Olga's church with Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie inside? No? Oh, sorry, my bad  :confused: Oh, and if someone can't read what the Fisherman says here is the text:

"Hey! You there! Aren't you...? No, no, you are. You must be. You're the scientist, S-Sampson, Simpson, isn't it? You must be here to capture them. There's no other reason for someone to visit St. Olga or, at least, what it used to be it... I'll take you to where they made their base..."

Well, here it is!

I played the Half-Life 2 Lost Coast...  :D very nice drawing El_Barto ^^

Rain_Kid
My computer is really slow, so I can't play in very good conditions. But, I played for a while and it's really cool. So, I felt the need of doing a parody of it. Anyway, glad you liked the pic :D

Your parody is a very good El_Barto ... :)
Also do not lose anything in the Half-Life 2; I am quite disappointed, even prefer the first Half-Life ... When Gordon worked at Black Mesa and did something terribly wrong. :gigi:

El_Barto
Nice parody... I missed the HL2 fever, thankfully, but liked the first game a lot.
The character on the left turned out even better than Homer Simpson himself, this is a good sign.
As usual, I'm asking about some colors and background. Keep up drawing :)

Dagdamor
Thanks :)
I never played the first game :red: And I can't play HL2 Lost Coast really well because of my video driver -.-' It's outdated... Well, as for background and colors, they'll come around soon. ;)

Well, well, well, I guess we all knew it would come to this: Me mixing The Simpsons with Avenged Sevenfold...

Here it is:
(http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/4779/thesimpsonsavengedsevenlz6.th.jpg) (http://img127.imageshack.us/my.php?image=thesimpsonsavengedsevenlz6.jpg)


And another one: This one was inspired in the episode Bart the Genius. The letter Bart has below his arm is the confession he wrote. I wanted to put Lisa saying: I don't care if you're not a genius, you'll always be the smartest one to me.

Or something like that, you get the idea. But I didn't, I forgot :confused: Well, here it is, my first colored pic! :D

(http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/781/bartthegeniuslp7.th.jpg) (http://img406.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bartthegeniuslp7.jpg)

El_Barto
The Avenged Sevenfold/Simpsons parody was a nice idea, and although simple, seems to have turned out looking nicely.

About your second picture, it's looking rather impressive, but I have a few nitpicks. First of all Homer looks much too short, his upper body appears normal but his legs seem to have all but vanished. And the wrinkles in the sheets on Bart's bed... the dashed line looks out of place. If you're going to do wrinkles, try and make them look more natural, instead of rigid as they are in this picture.

And just a thought: I've noticed in some of your pictures Lisa is looking a little thin. Remember that she's a Simpson so there should be a bit of pudginess in her hands or arms, and her face should be looking a bit fuller.

Hope this helps, your drawings do look nice, and you have potential.

Sure it will help, always good to know there were some mistakes made so next time I can correct them. Thanks :)

El_Barto
The first pic - ah-ha, something fresh and new! It's somehow weird to see spikes on the skull, but I guess it's the only correct way to draw it. :D Nicely done.
The second - after seeing the picture I had another scene in my mind, it looked like Bart is sick and Lisa is nursing him... touching moment anyway. Heh, Lisa acted so very different in that episode if you remember it :)

Dagdamor
Thank you, yeah, the spikes on the skull are correct, it's the right way to draw it, although it's weird to see spikes on a skull like you said :p The second pic... I had the idea of doing something about that episode and it came out like this :p Yeah, I remember the episode and you're right, she acted weird, but, if they added one more scene to the episode, I'm sure something like this would come out, at least, I think so...

El_Barto

Exactly my thoughts, it was just too weird for Lisa to say "I guess Bart is stupid again", and just forget about him afterwards. But that's Season 1 for you, I guess. Even in the second season, Lisa was much more caring person. :)

This one was inspired in the song: Deep, Deep Trouble by... The Simpsons!!! Hooray!!! I guess you all know the song so I'll just post the pic.

(http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/1520/deepdeeptroubleuv1.th.jpg) (http://img168.imageshack.us/my.php?image=deepdeeptroubleuv1.jpg)

Hope you like it :D

Dagdamor
Yup, in the second season, Lisa was much more caring  :gigi:

El_Barto
Bart's expression looks kinda weird, but on his place I wouldn't look any better I guess. :D
Aside from that, the picture is nicely done. *wants more colors*
Have you ever tried tracing your pictures, btw?

Dagdamor
Oh sorry, I forgot to color this one :confused: And no, I've never tried tracing my pics :red:

After I saw the trailers of the movie: Alvin & The Chipmunks, I knew I'd like it. And, I did... So... Here's a little sketch, it was meant to be me as a chipmunk :p but naah. It's a little bad, but in my opinion, it can't be worse than the coloured version... Anyways, don't be too mean (not that you guys are) because this is the first time I try to draw something... well... Non-Simpson style... So, here it is.

Hey, not bat at all. THe face and body are very good in fact, with a nice steady lineart and cute features overall. The arms are a bit thin and probably follow too much the line of the body, so they look a bit wobbly. Nothing that a good look through google imagesearch couldnt fix :) The problem with drawing these kind of animals is that the artist is always pushed to "humanize" them and sometimes this can be a trouble with animals that have anatomy too different from the human body...

In this case, arms aside, i think you've done a very neat job and if you find it interesting, i do encourage you to draw more animals, it's great exercise to draw different shapes and bodies.

SimpReal
Thank you ;) I tried to draw a chipmunk once, it didn't go well, this is the second time I tried to do it and it came out ok. For now, I'll just stick to draw these kinds of chipmunks, then I'll change to other animals :)

Oh my god, that chipmunk has no legs and only spikey quills for toes!!!!!! Run away!!! Seriously, cool though. I do agree with marco that the arms are a bit off, but thats ok it comes with practice (heh, i'm still practicing that one).

laguna sky
Yeah, the arms are a bit bad, but I'll correct it next time I draw a chipmunk. :)

Okay, I'm gonna post something here. Since I haven't drawn anything new, I'll post something old. The only thing I drew lately was the LisaCon pic, so I'll post here the pencil version :)

El_Barto
The colored version is looking better of course, but thanks for sharing your sketch too, was interesting to see it. :) Even without construction lines, the proportions seem to be okay... the eyes without pupils are kinda scary, though.
I'm grateful for that Lisacon picture, because it, apparently, has inspired me to see a Lisa dream. Again. After almost a year not having any. :) I'll post it in the "dreams" topic someday, but thank you!

El_Barto
Yarr, thanks for posting! The colored version does look better overall, but I think the sketch was worth having a look at too, it's not pixely like the colored one. (=

Hello everybody!

I have a new pic to share with all of you. Now, I know it's a little bad, but for me, I'm happy with the way it turned out.

Here it is:

(http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/7321/thesimpsonsnewestpetbk6.th.jpg) (http://img227.imageshack.us/my.php?image=thesimpsonsnewestpetbk6.jpg)

Hope you like :D












Heh, you are probably wondering if that's all there is: a sketch. Well... no... The coloured version took me forever, but guess what? Here it is!

(http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/6831/thesimpsonsnewestpet1cv6.th.jpg) (http://img227.imageshack.us/my.php?image=thesimpsonsnewestpet1cv6.jpg)

I know it's a little bad (worst than the sketch).

Anyone wanna give a name to the Simpsons newest pet? A chipmunk!! :D

So? Anyone?

I suggest 'Mr. Squashable'. (Please keep him away from Maggie  :D).

EDIT: Or indeed 'Ms. Squashable'.  :gigi:

Hey! I like it, its nice! :)

I would also go along with Mr. Squashable, but pending whether it is a He or a She?  :gigi: Girls can also have blue eyes and wear hoodys ;)

Either way, its adourable! :D Very well drawn and coloured, thanks for sharing :)

Why not call it "Simon" :P

Mr. Squashable? Heh, I guess that's a good name. Then, it's settled, the chipmunk shall be named Mr. Squashable!!

Keep him away from Maggie indeed :p And keep him away from Snowball II a.k.a Snowball V (or is it VI? No, it's V it's V!) aswell :p

BTW, that chipmunk is a HE :)

really is a drawing that has a lot of balance between your technique, skills and colors ... the colors are well used, and this pic is very nice  :)

thanks by post your art!  :star:

Thanks, Gustavo :) Glad you enjoyed it :)

It was the first time I worked with photoshop. I'm working on a new pic now, it's still, let's say... 15% done...

Anyway, when I'm done I'll post the sketch and the coloured version :)

Hey everyone!

I have been working on this pic for a few days now... But first, does someone remember this pic:
(http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/5286/lisaew4.th.jpg) (http://img134.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lisaew4.jpg)

Okay, the landscape, on that pic, is the same on my newest pic. But since the pic I posted right now is a future pic (btw, I have it lying around somewhere on this thread) Lisa is older in that pic, and yadda yadda yadda.

So anyway, as I said, here's the sketch:

(http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/1018/perfectharmonygb4.th.jpg) (http://img301.imageshack.us/my.php?image=perfectharmonygb4.jpg)

El_Barto
Huh o_O I thought I'd checked out all your art, but I must've got you confused with someone else... don't have time to comment on all pictures right now, but I like your art, it's true to the show and Lisa herself.

The latest picture is definitely my favorite, the colored version has a really soothing blend of colors, and it's actually a picture that I can keep looking at for minutes over and over, something I rarely do. ;) Everything looks perfectly on model to me, although a bit pointy. Lisa's pose looks a bit weird though. Nothing wrong with the pose itself, but I'm not really sure how she stays up in the tree. o_O Also the texture on the tree doesn't look all that good, there's not much of a sense of depth or perspective to it. Would've looked better if you'd done some simple coloring and some lining to follow the perspective. Apart from this (may sound like alot, but it's just some minor problems) it's a beautiful picture.

7.5/10, I always rate pictures based on personal preference, and I just love pictures of Lisa out in the nature. :)

Kasper, my friend, I must admit, on closer inspection, I don't know how she stays there either... :/ I guess we have to imagine that the part where she is sitting isn't able for us to see... Or... something... Well, I didn't pay much attention to those details... Oh well. I'll do better next time. And I didn't pay much attention to the texture on the tree... I guess that, to me, it looked good :/

No need to be disheartened by it, its a fantastic picture! :)

I say she's kinda leaning back against the tree, giving her balance by friction against the bark, like a cat rubbing against the corner of a sofa. XD

I am also sucker for Lisa and nature pictures, its nice and the pencil version is also very well drawn. This is definatly a big step forward for you man. :) Loving the water effects too, I still need to figure out how to do that...

Looking forward to your future projects!

about your last pic...

Lisa says: gustavo have a  "relative system" to check the art!  ;)

Your technique has improved quite ... although your style could further improve ... art is practice, energy and effort ...

 :star: El barto! thanks by sharing your art! ...
8.99/ 10  ..... with sincerity...

El_Barto
Yeah, didn't mean to make a big deal out of it, sorry if I sounded harsh. >_<

I used the same grading method as in LisaCon (the method I always use ^^), and a 7.5 out of 10 means I think it's a really good picture, my comments was just to let you know that it would be excellent (around 8.5/10) in my eyes with those minor problems fixed. ;) For a 9 or 10 out of 10 it would need some more details, but I don't rate any picture that high unless I think it's really amazing.

Kasper
Don't worry, I know you were only pointing out some minor problems. ;)

Gustavo and Casper
Glad you liked. :D I put a lot of effort in it. Choosing the right effects... Colouring took me forever, because using the wand tool on photoshop leaves a thin line of white and when coloured you can easily see it, especially with dark colours and I had to correct it...

Anyway, glad you liked it :D

Oh, and Casper, I used the Ocean Ripple effect on the water. Remember, I worked with Photoshop CS2, but I think that effect exists in other versions of Photoshop.

Wow... what a great progression..... i like it........ It is not the best technically done drawing but it conveys the feeling and mood of the scene perfectly, which is all that matters. The little squirrel  poking his head out is extremely cute and Lisa's expression gives the mood of peace and serenity, just looking at the picture and imagining it makes me feel relaxed. Although the wood has the wrong texture I actually like it, it seems glittery and dreamy in a way.

You have done an excellent job there, really looking forward to more.

As for photoshop you can actually set the selected area to overlap, so it lessens the white edges. Been a little while to remember what the tool is called as not used photoshop in a coupl of months, need to re-install after a hard drive gave up.

Hope you have lots of fun trying out textures and stuff in photoshop as i have had :)

I don't believe I've commented on your art yet :red: and I'm sorry x_X
Overall, looked through your work and you're not a bad artist at all :) You have potential and I can see improvements in your sketches/digital work, through each one :)

I also like how you've given the drawings some background and depth and have surrounded your characters with natural objects :)
Pretty and pleasing to the eye :D

Nice work dude :)

Don't worry abou that ;) Better late than never, that's what I say :D

Anyway, thanks :)

Now, I'm working on two more pics. The sketch of my first pic is done. Only colour is needed. But I haven't started the second one yet. Oh well... In my opinion, the first of the two pics I will post here, is the worst x_x And you'll see why I say this... (I don't know why I'm saying this if I haven't started the second pic yet. -.-')

2/3 more days, and I've finished the pics.

Thanks again :)

Don't think I forgot about you ;) Thanks. If you could remember the name of that tool, you would save me time in colouring :rolleyes: I'm kidding, I'm kidding :gigi: I like a little more work. In the end, it makes me feel good about what I drew and coloured :D

El_Barto
Great title for "Perfect Harmony" :) it makes the picture even better... although it has its advantages anyway. I like the idea, and bright colors you've chosen. Lisa's pose doesn't look natural, but only because her right foot is slipping off the tree, if you moved Lisa a bit to the left, it would have looked alright. Nice facial expression, I like it. Good job with lights and shadows! I still haven't learned to do the same well :p The texture you used for the tree looks too "small" and "regular", i.e. if you enlarged it somehow and also stretched vertically, it could help. I hope my explanations make sense!

Hey people.

I have two more sketches to share with everyone. The first one I think is good, and features the Simpsons newest pet: Mr. Squashable, I know his eyes give the idea of the chipmunk being a girl, but I repeat, it's a he :p The second is a bit bad x_x But now let's focus on the first one.

Here it is:

And the second one. Now, I know it's a little bad, and when I say a little, I want to say: a lot. But I think Homer turned out rather nicely.

Here it is:

P.S.: No coloured versions today, tonight's my prom night so I can't colour them x_x I'll get to it tomorrow.

Thanks :) Your explanation makes a lot of sense. But, like I said previously, the texture on the tree looked good in my opinion :/ Oh well, I'll keep your explanation in mind :D Glad you liked it.

^-^ Mr. Squashable's looking great wearing a hoodie. Nothing to complain about, very cute pic, perhaps his left foot is a bit smaller than the right one, but you don't really notice it unless you pay attention to it.

As for the second pic, I don't think it looks bad at all, seems you're making progress with drawing different perspectives actually. The most noticeable things are 1. Lenny's head is a little bit mushed together 2. The extended overbites, but you do that in all your pictures, and I think you should keep drawing it like that. As for the motif, I think it's actually kinda interesting, there's a sort of sincerity in Homer's expression, something rarely (if ever) seen in the show. Even if we've seen him sad a few times, this is much heavier.

about Mr. Squashable  :)

hey!!!  really improved your skill to translate expressions ... need to take more energy and continue ... you have talent ...

the  model (is this pic) of this character is a little stretched .. however facial expressions are the best point.

good work! Mr "El Barto"  ^-^

El_Barto, about your last picture with Homer, the only glaring problem i see with it is a perspective nature, since the angle the car has is a bit weird in respect with the background, but it's really nothing that matters in such picture. It could even have a "introspective" meaning.
As for what happens in there, i like it... i liked your writing on the right and representing the things Homer's thinking to in thought bubbles. Despite the little space available, you did a good job in making all the characters look aliek their official art, especially good work done on Homer, Lenny and Carl. Maybe Marge has a too big overbite, but that's just me. :)

It's a very delicate and emotional picture, congratulations!

OK those last 2 are a HUGE improvement. Nice to see how people progress in thier drawings......

Mr Squashable is adorable, looks great in the hoodie, and the pose gives him attitude too. The eyes are fantastically drawn, even down to a shine in them. Needs a tiny bit of work on proportions, one foot bigger than other.... but I only noticed that when looking again at the picture. Could easily be rectified by fleshing out the right hand 2 of his "toes" on his left paw (right in picture).

Ok the second picture.... Another fantastic one. The expressions are spot on. Moe is drawn very well as is marge. As Kasper said, Lenny looks a bit squashed into the thought bubble but otherwise is also well drawn. Car is less well drawn BUT this focuses interest on the higher detail and effort of the characters more in my opinion, so is good. Homer has a couple of minor proportion problems, his neck looks a tad too thick and his body too small (a mistake I always make myself in drawing). But gotta say overall the picture, and the wording on it make this one of your best.

Would love to see both in colour.

Anyway, that tool i was saying in the previous post, when selecting an area to colour, I use the "Refine Edge" button on the top menu, need to play about to get things right bith the radious, feather ect and and not overdo it, especially on thin outlines. If someone has a better way of doing it I may be doing the totally wrong thing myself (i am a relitive newbie ot Photoshop), but this has worked for me!

Thank you to everyone ;) It's great to know that the time I spent drawing these was worth it.

Now...

SimpReal
The car didn't turn the way I wanted it x_x When I'm drawing something, things don't turn the way I really want them. Oh well, it's close to what I wanted anyway :) Carl's head is a little small comparing to Lenny's head and Moe's head. Glad you liked the pic overall :)

Kasper
I think Mr. Squashable's eyes are the best thing in the pic xD Yeah, you're right his left foot is smaller, but I didn't even notice that aswell xD I only noticed that when I was hosting the pic. Glad you liked both pics :)

CCD!
Nothing to say here, just glad you liked Mr. Squashable :)

Empethree
The same for the foot thingy applies here xD I agree that Lenny is a bit smashed against the bubble... (I should've made the bubble bigger >_< Oh well...)
Anyway, I'll colour them tomorrow. Today I was busy all afternoon, and yesterday I had to go to my school's prom. Anyway, glad you liked both pics :)

Okay, people...
Finally, I coloured one of my previous drawings!

Hooray!

I coloured Mr. Squashable, because it was easier to colour... Well anyway, I gave him a new look. If you remember my previous pic about him, you'll notice the new look.

Here it is:

P.S.: One foot is still bigger than the other :/

I'm still a bit behind :red:
my fav of your recent though has to be Homer going home, your drawings are getting better, in my mind it's season 1-2 standard but it gives it more charm :),

( I find the new completely-on model stuff to not have enough "character" emotion wise)
To me this was spot on! :) Poor Homer :P
Guess I'm a little bias cos in all honesty, chipmunks arn't my thing :red:, but the drawings/colourings are coming on nicely :) Mr. Squashable suits hoodys ;)
Nice stuff from you still :)

ohhh good work!... Mr El Barto  :) The green color is a good election... please continue drawing! the art is energy and fire  :star:

post data : sorry by my short reply.. my brain is small and i can't find words ...^____^

Thanks, Gustavo and Rachel ^_^

Ah, since I call you guys by your real name (I can, can't I? :confused:) you might aswell call me by my real name too. From now on, you can call me Tiago if you like, if you want to call me El Barto, that's not a problem. (And this goes to every member) ^_^

Anyway, thanks again :) I thought the green colour on his hoodie suited better his personality. And what I like more about the picture is the eyes :gigi:

Anyway, I don't think I'll be colouring the other one so soon. Exams are almost here and if I want to pass the 9th grade I really have to study. My parents promissed me, I could go to England to visit my uncle if I passed the 9th grade so... :D

And I still have a science test and an history test.

So... Thanks again. :)

El_Barto
I remember when you first came here and started posting your drawings. They were much rougher back then. The angles were a bit odd, a trademark of beginning artists. I'm not seeing that much anymore.

You're becoming exceptional at coloring them, and the character's expressions as well. Keep it up.

The coloured version  of Mr. Squashable definately does do him justice........ fantastic :)

Look forward to seeing more of him when you finished your exams.... good luck with those btw! :D And hey if you do visit england and pass through Gatwick gimme a shout as I live in same town heh heh..... I could wave ;)

-Carl

Sure my friend! my complete name is Gustavo Adolfo Quisbert Espíndola  :gigi:

see ya Tiago! :)

The coloured version's looking great. :) And green's my favorite color, so all the better. ;) Perhaps just for the sake of complaining, I'm not sure where the light source is located... the shades are looking a bit uneven.

Nevermind about that, go study for your exams and good luck! You'll get all A's if you study hard I'm sure! (=

The colours are great on your new picture, very professional. It is amazing how quickly you've learned all this, the line art is also well done! Just the final few hurdles, which include shading and proportions to master now. Oh, and possibly backgrounds, a personal favurate of mine. :D (despite my last picture being set in space)

The colours you've chosen for Mr.Squashable suit him a lot. Particularly like the colours you've chosen for his head. I think this character would look good as a website mascot. ;)

Fine work El Barto/Tiago :)

GeorgeHarrison
Thanks, man. :)

Empethree
I hope I pass my exams :rolleyes: Especially Math. I suck at Math x_x But I'm confident about my portuguese exam though. My history test went well :D Science and Chemistry didn't go as I planned x_x Oh well, I still have 1 one of those to do, and I hope I get a better grade ^_^ Although I haven't recieved those tests yet, I'm expecting a low grade -.-' Oh well. I don't know how far Gatwick is from Brighton, but if it's not too far, I'll give you a shout :)

Kasper
I'm still a beginner at shading :p But, I'm glad you liked my pic overall :)

Casper
Thanks. :) I'm planning on making a website (at least trying to make one -.-' I suck with HTML codes), and maybe I'll make that little character the mascot for my website. :) Anyway, thanks again.

Gatwick is north of brighton by about 25 miles.... Crawley my home town is on the London > Brighton Main road... often visit brighton myself lol. Often sitting on the beach browsing the internet. There is free wireless LAN on brighton beach between the 2 piers.

Gatwick is just north of crawley marked near charlwood.

Empethree
25 miles, eh?
I'll see what I can I do. (If I go to England, which probably is gonna happen, because I'm sure I'll pass my exams.)

I have a new piece of art! And I still haven't coloured one of my previous drawings...

I'm a bit lazy so I haven't coloured it...

So, I have a new chipmunk for you! :D

I saw this style on deviantArt and I decided to try and draw something with a similiar style...
I drew this for a friend. He wanted a picture of a chipmunk character he invented.

Here it is:

(http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/3581/lewisrl9.th.jpg) (http://img75.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lewisrl9.jpg)

I'll colour it when I stop being so lazy :rolleyes:

The expression in the character is wonderful!
the expression is actually the most complex part of drawing and painting, This is door of the spirit of a real artist (and not a single sketcher)  ...
thanks for opening this first door ...  :)

congratulations!!! and pleased keep drawing... you need more practice and patience is somes point about the model of your character...but the life is long and you are a great artist!

see ya Tiago! :star:

Thank you, Gustavo :)

Well well well, look who's back into the drawing world! Me! Anyway... I have a simple sketch to share with everyone. I did it while in Art class.

Here it is...

(I know, I mispelled "senpai". I wrote a "M" instead of a "N". I'm ashamed... LOL)

I'll try to draw more from now on :P

Another sketch made in class... I'm sorry, I promise I will make more complex drawings. :P I seem to have lost my imagination. But I'm sure it will come back anytime.

Anyway, this is also a sketch I drew in class...

Please be kind :P

First time drawing something in anime style! I think it came out pretty well :D

For the ones interested it's an OC from Naruto.

Hello, everyone!

I'm back with some fanart...
From Naruto! (Everyone in my school is almost addicted to it, and I think I got too :P) Anywaaaay... The image is kinda bad 'cause I took a photo of it with my phone, because my scanner isn't working -_-' Anyway, hope you like it. :)

Tiago your last skecth look very nice,  and maybe is the best between yours "naruto's" skecthes,..  :) , the expression of the character is classic, in special sasuke

:) please keep drawing...

Gustavo
Thank you :P

Yay! My scanner works again! :D Here's a better version of it :D

My next drawing is a love themed one. I drew it while thinking of someone I really care for...

Anyway, here it is. The Japanese Symbol for Love

Tiago ....  :eek:

Your sketch is elemental and very beautiful, you've been very creative in the execution of this picture ... details on the thorns and roses are the mirror in  the real  message of your picture ...  :)

The birdie at the scene is very sweet too ... but I would put a butterfly in that place ....  ;)

great concept and magnificent work...  :star: Thanks by post your art!

I like the naruto-sasuke sketch a lot, maybe you should clean it and make it colored. :)

As for the love symbol, that's a clever and original idea, and also would be a very nice valentine (or else) gift!
