Agreed with Empethree

Art should be a way for you to express your feelings, I think it's wonderful to have that kind of outlet. Some of the greatest music and art out there is inspired by emotions

If being human is the price you must pay to be a good artist ... well, I for one think it's worth it

Wow, it has been a while,....I apologies for neglecting the sketchbook side of LTS, I even forgot about my own thread yet again
but I'm gonna try to keep more up to date from now , first I better reply *cough*ramble*cough* to your comments!

Yggdrasil - Ahh! the Lisa calender picture! Eep! I really apologies since I haven't done any work on it since , I had a pretty much booked up holiday in December and since I've been back to school I've had a lot of art to do for this deadline in February, but hopefully I will get this done some time!! Anyway, I am glad you liked all the pictures, even the somewhat overly emotional ones, so thank you! ^_^

Sylenne - Now where are you? Haven't seen you around here for a while , but thank you very much for the compliment , I will take on board your advice though and won't take down the picture of Bastet, since It has been a while anyway, thanks again

Empethree -Thank you too for the advice I feel better about posting happier pics if I am honest as I don't want to flood LTS with negative ones, but I feel more reassured that you are fine with it if I was to be in one of my less positive moods when drawing.  You're right as to how I express myself through drawing, I tend to show emotion more than storyline though narrative is something I hope to do a bit more in this year myself , Anyway, thanks

Gustavo - Thanks Gustavo I'm sorry I am so behind in replying to your thread as well because you do have some lovely works of art yourself ^_^ I shall try to get round to doing that asap, sorry for being so behind x_x this applies to all other artists on here too! So much great artwork, so little time! >_<


Anyway,..again, I'm sorry for the lack of Lisa art here as well,...looong story! but I feel like posting something, even if it is offtopic and quite sketchy! (and not very colourful..)



1) Just Bastet, again, but in a more gothic style after I read too many Johnny the Homicidal Maniac comics...*which I recommend to all those who like dark humor *

2)Some random vampire girl I started off drawing in my newish kind of style..then ended up drawing Skinny Jim (Yes, that is his name)

3)Again, another random goth girl, this time I wanted to do a bit more emotion, so I made her sad...also drew a silly doodle of my dog alongside her for no reason




sooo yeah that is all for now...hopefully will try to upload proof that I'm busy with school art, a photo of my final piece (which still isn't finished yet! but it shall do )

These latest three pictures all pretty much revolve around the same concept, so I'll keep it brief. For pencil sketches they're all very well done, if a bit messy. It adds to the overall feeling of the pictures though, which is as Serge put it, somewhat destructive. Well, maybe that's the wrong word, but hell if I know a better way to say it. As always, very gothic looking.

And it doesn't matter what you draw... Lisa-fanart or off-topic art will both be greeted with the same enthusiasm... or at least, they should be. You flourish most when your mind is abroad and not limited to one concept. And for someone like you, that can mean great things. By no means should you force yourself into anything you don't want to draw simply to please others.

Hehehe thanks guys, looks like I have scare most people off with the gothicness though and I do aplogise for those who don't really like it but reason is I'm getting sick of doing fan art and want to do different things..doesn't mean I won't ever do fan art again cos it can be great fun but I just wanna practice other things and put em towards my portfolio for uni

Thank you Bra
but yeah stuff like this is acceptable in my portfolio for I'm appyling to degrees in illustration Guess it depends on the courses you do..
We do put classical/life study stuff in too but that's usually school work and the funny thing is so far in the interviews I've been too they've been more interested in the cartoons and stuff I do in my own time
Guess they're looking for different stuff and a passion for drawing sooo, in my case so it works
