Say yes to letting artists have the freedom to explore their own creative ideas...

Well, as I said in another thread (it was half-joking so I think the point was missed), draw your own Lisas. Serge, I've seen your art, it's nothing to be ashamed of. If you want to see Lisa drawn canonically, you don't have to look much further than your own hands, a pencil, and a piece of paper. When I was as Lisa-obsessed as you are, I drew my own Lisas, and still did even after I found this forum. It was a kind of "therapy", if you will. Maybe Gustavo sees Lisa in a different way than you do - perhaps he sees her as a different entity. Certainly his anime-ish style gives Lisa an entirely different feeling. You, on the other hand, see Lisa every way she is on the show - that's fine - but that's something you want.

The point I'm trying to make here is this: There's nothing wrong with wanting to see Lisa drawn the way Matt Groening draws her. But don't pressure other artists to want to the same thing. Either do it yourself, or commission them to do one for you.

By the way Gustavo, I think your last few sketches are wonderful - even though I really dislike anime, your style of drawing Lisa has always captivated me. You give her a twist that makes the cuteness some see in her turn into beauty.

oh.... -_- "this is a long story"...
well.. (again)....Serge please understand me.. I can't draw with the "rules" or in a canonic style....  ... It is impossible to my hand... thanks by your sincerity... but if do you like look canonical lisas please search in topics of real artists... remember This is a long history my friend...

I can't draw by this motive...  and I don't need more discussions in my topics!  GH and Serge.. please peace!..  please only enjoy...
well I try draw somes canonical lisas Mr Serge... please patience... 
George... thanks by your words.. thanks a lot.. 



brb... -_-

I agree with Gustavo... Let's not turn this topic into a discussion x_x

About this last pic, it's very sentimental... She looks sad... I wanna give her a hug!

I don't know why someone should draw "canonical" Lisas - it's entirely up to the artist how to portray a character. Maybe except from some very old sketches, Gustavo never drew canonical Lisas - and regardless how old a Gustavo pic is, you will always recognize his style immediately. I admit that his style developed into a more anime-ish one, but I think you can still recognize immediately that it's a Simpsons character - and if it's only the yellow skin and the overbite.

For us, who enjoy the pics that are created by the artists, it shouldn't matter how they look, and we simply don't have the right to complain about the lack of certain things and stuff like that. Of course it's up to us to like a pic or not, and I think we should be also allowed to say "sorry, not really my cup of tea". But we should appreciate the effort, or at least keep our mouth shut (as Lisa would like to say "It is better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt." ).

Well, that said, let me tell you that I really like the three pics you posted, Gustavo. The second one is the most impressive one for me - and it makes me really wanting to hug her right now. I wonder what saddens her so much?

Lisa says: Psssst  Gustavo... maybe Andreas have bad memory... 

I wanted not to post about this discussion into this topic anymore, but Andreas has raised a good question...
I agree that we should never tell artists what they should draw and what not. But Gustavo and me are good friends, for years we were sharing similar views on our favorite character, and I enjoyed his pictures as much as this can be possible. Like you said, his style keeps developing, while my views don't change and I don't feel I like his recent pictures as I did before. What can I do in this situation? Only ask him to not to deviate too much, risking to insult him... I know it's not right but I don't see what else can I do instead of keeping my mouth shut and possible lose him forever as one of my favorite Simpsons artists.

And Gustavo, don't you like Lisa on this last pic Lisa still has some animeish features here, but doesn't it look like much better compromise between the show canons and your own fantasy? I'm not pushing anyone, I'm also sorry for my words I said before (pretty harsh ones)... I don't want to push you to draw what I like. I want you to like what you draw, and especially what you drawn in the past.

Thanks for understanding me

This is other small pic  (35 minutes) 

*awwie.... is time of sleep*    _o_  Zzzz..
lisa says: "goodnight"

 

These last two pictures are great, as always
But I like the second one more.

Keep up the good work

I dont know Dag.... I am sure i seen pictures of birds (and bats too) who fold thier wings forward. Doesnt look wrong to me personally..

...than again I am the man who drew Lisa's hand in an impossible position rofl.... so I may be totally wrong

I agree with you Serge...... I have looked at the picture before bed and it gave me a sort of warm peaceful feeling

*On a side not I would like to apologise for some of the mistakes in my posts tonight, spelling and layout. I am in the bedroom using the TV as screen and my Mouse and Kayboard batteries are running low so the mouse is skipping across screen and missing out clicks when I edit and they keyboard is missing out keystrokes..... also due to room layout the reciever is at limit of this mouse and keyboard so makes it worse. I hate wireless KB + mice, only using it due to the "remote control" nature of using the TV. Other PCs/macs are wired.

D'oh!

In a lot of ways, Like Dagdamor I would really like to see you (Gustavo) draw a show style Lisa. I'm not bored of your style drawings and, dont think I ever want you to stop drawing in your style. But it would be interesting, as a technical excersice.
Drawing the original Groening style would take longer, but you could reward yourself with a Gustavo background
Then again, I cant talk... I havent drawn Simpsons in ages...  ... This inspiration cube isnt working!


Anyway, the new pictures are nice, and although it would seem a step backwards... doesnt mean it isnt a step in the right direction. Keep it up!

lisa is dancing in my job...

Lisa says: thanks a lot casper and malefix... sadly Gustavo ...(yeah this bored guy in the computer's lab) need take a "break" with my pictures... (by the Futurama vs Simpson competition)...  but is only a moment.... ohhh is time of return to home.... see ya! (psssst and thanks by your words) 

*Lisa turn off the laptop....

Gustavo: you are posting a reply in LTS?
dancer Lisa: me? no no... you are paranoic Gustav...
Gustavo: -_-'' oh ok ok

bye bye   

CCD!
Hah, that one is pretty nice, CCD! Especially her face with such embarrassed expression. I wonder only what is the letter, is it a love one or a kind of communication 'without words'? And I like the view from the first person, it is always looks very personal. as if artist shares with you his own feelings. I mean here it is more implied than in other pictures. Of course I keep in mind that all pictures are what the artist wants to express to others.
