Black_ravenNise pic! Most of all I like the Homer's expression, that ridiculous and sly face. I like your style of drawing in all, it's very interesting; I saw some your other works. All of them leave good impression.  There's a lot of green colour in your pics, that's one of my favourite too.

Thanks Yggdraill  Well, I admit I havn't been able to draw much recently but it's occured to me that there's some art people still havn't seen from me that's allready on my computer  So I will add a few pics for now  1) Well, this is the full version of my display pic..Just a simple Deviantart ID pic  2) This is what shall hopefully be my final composition in art this year. This is the pencil version though which took me ages  But I will however proberbly paint the final thing on canvas or something  and yes that's me, a weird self-portait I know but I was looking at scarfs and folds, clothed figures etc 3) Just a quick sketch of Zazu that is proberbly the best pic I've ever drawn of him as I'm more for drawing the lions most of the time  4)Okay I acturaly did this way back in summer but still proud of it. Though,..looking back I know Mufusa is a little bit off but I am proud with Sarabi ^_^ 5) Err...well...just a very, very detailed pic I drew with pen during English...That's all... (EDIT: Any problems with the images have now been sorted  )

These pictures are sweet! If I wasn't such a Lisa obsessed nut, I'd definitely try to draw something like that, too, just to follow your example... the Simpsonized version of yourself is great, finally I know where's your avatar is from  Timon sitting on your shoulder is also a nice touch. Self portrait - aww... I can only say that you're looking so nice.  Great job. ZAZU, "Mufusa and Sarabi", "Detailed to extream" - all three pictures are good! Especially the last one... reminds me of the style that is used sometimes for book illustrations... and I respect it a lot, even if it's not colored. Black and white pictures sometimes look better than the colored ones. *LOL* at the Nala's ear biting, btw.  All three pictures have great shading, and all in different way. So there. No con-crit, your level is too above my own.  Also sorry if I messed up with names somewhere... I used to like "Lion King" a lot, but didn't watch it for many years.

I've already said this to you before but, damn you can draw  AND you can use water colour paints and I cant... but thats another subject  I love 'Detailed to the Extream', its just so cute, especialy the Lioness. Looks almost huggable! But she'd probably bite...  Your self portrait is very well done too, I gotta stress how well you've actualy done that... I cant draw my own hand. (doh!) Muffy and Sarabi look cute together too  Very authenticaly coloured. Though as you probably know, Muffy's stomach starts a little low, looks like he's gained weight to me but its probably because I dont know what I'm talking about. This is TLK not Simpsons.  EDIT: And we're back! Where was I... IDme is cool too, I love the simpsons style and how well you've applied it to yourself. Very well done  And Zazu ofcourse is on model, nice pose too, very British  Overall, good work Rach  Maybe more colour but, I'm not about to interupt your exam revision for it

Thank you all for the feedback Dagdamor, don't worry about mistaking any lion king characters, but you got most of the characters right there  , however, I will make it clear now, the lion couple in "Detailed to the extream" is not Simba and Nala  Just a random lion couple but I guess it's a easy mistake to those who arn't familiar  Also,..it isn't originaly black and white. I originally sketched it on yellow paper X) but I edited it so it was black and white on photoshop  I agree in a way really,..I am into the black and white pics just as much as I am into coloured  Also, Casper , I am aware Muffy has put on weight there X) I had alot of problems whilst drawing him but eventualy stuck with what seemed to be the best I could do at the time Anyway, again, thanks to all of you

Black RavenThe "last@ 5 pics very well done. Now i must say something about them all. IDme_copyThis looks pretty good, can't say something another. The main heroine is neatly done and I could say she looks nice!  The work with the hands is really ably, Timon is pleasant too, very similar to the original as I can remember him from the cartoon. Especially I like the color decision in which your work is made, the juicy indigo color of jeans is pleasant for eye and well tone with the common light brown background and yellowness of skin. The notes behind that girl is the interesting detail, like some kind of generalization of your creative person. self_portrait_pencil_shadedOh! That shows your good abilities in realistic drawing, the shading quite good but...makes the picture slightly blurry, you know. It's hard to distinguish the pose of yours and the other details like the clothing. But the central detail - your face - looks really well done! Detailed_to_extreamIts truly detailed a little too much.  But nevertheless doesn't spoil a pic at all, quite the reverse it looks fresh. The young lions looks so naughty! I'm admired with your work at the ground and grass. Impressive! Mufusa_and_SarabiThe very good picture! What a colours...Amazing! The lions look as if they have been copied from a cartoon, so well they looks! ZAZUThis bird is pretty good too. I like his (her) expression most of all. And nice shading, as well as the pic on a whole.  So thanks for sharing, I'll keep on waiting your new works!

Wink The work with the hands is really ably, Timon is pleasant too, very similar to the original as I can remember him from the cartoon.

The notes behind that girl is the interesting detail, like some kind of generalization of your creative person.

That shows your good abilities in realistic drawing, the shading quite good but...makes the picture slightly blurry, you know. It's hard to distinguish the pose of yours and the other details like the clothing. But the central detail - your face - looks really well done! Hehe I'm a terror when it comes to shading with pencils  Always smudge it somehow  ZAZU This bird is pretty good too. I like his (her) expression most of all. And nice shading, as well as the pic on a whole. Smile Zazu is a male ^_^ Anyway, thank you very much for the comment  I appreciate it

your art is very special…. (although already it had seen these drawings in your page web  ) the style and the colors that you use have much life  and the quality of the outlines creates really wonderful compositions…  I am not a fan of the style of the personages of Disney.  but your work is very good… wow again…  my sincere congratulations…  you are a great artist…  bye!

Thanks for the comment Gustavo  Anyway, to be honest, havn't done a big piece in art for a while, But it's time I update this with some random sketchs and junk  .... 1) Silly Simba Sketch. I did this at school without reference, and I rarley draw adult Simba so, I consider this a success even if it's just a silly rough sketch  2) (FULL) Maul for Mat, inspired by a comment in the "Fav Simpsons Pet" thread  Just HAD to be done  *Is a Maul fan* I am aware though at how I can't draw People crossing their arms to save my life  3)I finally got round to photographing my GCSE final piece (Got A) However, now I can see loads of mistakes  This was done in just 5 hours exam time though :/ and about 30 mins or so out of exam XD 4) Just a quick watercolour pic I did yesterday of a cartoon tiger, whilst I was looking after my little cousins..  That's all for now

How badly, no comments here up to nowhere...Tryin to rectify the situation a little Silly_simba_sketch_chocolateThe lion's anathomy very well drawn as I can judge. His muzzle is very silly gcse_lioness_final_piece_AIt's just skilled work. I would to say it shows your impressive talent of drawing all that big pussies and the surrounding jungles. The drawed lines and objects is so natural that I can thought I see the real landscape. The brook, the flowers, the lioness (she looks strange a bit, but very worked out) seemed to be drawed with an oil paints. Simply Masterpiece! tiger_watercolour_tree_jungleAnd another case of big cats drawing, now the tigers  It's well done too, the range of colours makes good sense (but I think the violet tint is rather not appropriate here...) M_4_MNice pic! The cat so fervent, i don't know what i would do in that case, throw him out of window? (that's a joke of course  ) The muzzle very funny again, and Matias turned out pretty good (again cannot to compare...) Then as ask you not to break off your work if there's still no any answers (i'm sure you wouldn't  )

Shame to me, I forgot to reply  I like the last pack of pictures, very cute and impressive. I noticed that they are all colored/shaded different way... wow  *LOL* at the second picture (Casper's avatar), and from all the rest my favorite is the third one, "Gcse Lioness". The perspective isn't perfect and she has kinda funny expression, but... the picture is amazing, I love that kind of shading really. Great amount of details, complex pose... and nice colors. Incredible

Ack...I keep forgetting about my own thread >_<  Anyway, a late thanks to you both for the comments Yggdrasill, thanks very much for the effort you have put into the critique. It all helps  . About the lioness, it was done in watercolour and colouring pencils, not oils  , only used oils once and never really got on with them Dagdamor, it's okay since, I'm forgetfull myself, I am thankfull that people reply at all  It gives me more confidence and satisfaction I guess, that people like my art, and give me tips on how I can improve  Which I find really helpfull... Guess I should say, thanks to everyone whos commented at all

Pretty small update, I haven't done any big pictures for ages, and unfortunately, I think I'll be too busy for a long while till I can do big pictures again, so expect the odd sketches every now and then  Today, just 2 small sketches The first one, inspired by the song, TLKob - Endless Night Second, I doodled up now after news about the new species of cat found  Link>> http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/6452555.stm

Sorry about this, I have more art than I thought I did XD Just scanned a few more sketches, I shall explain em  1) Freedom - Inspired by Linkin Park, which I was listening to on my journey home from the Hadrian's Wall trip 2 weeks ago 2) Trapped - Opposite of Freedom,..I hope this isn't too dark though  If so I'll delete it. I don't mind  3) Maggie, with gun - Dunno what inspired this, I was very bored a few nights ago and just drew this for no reason  4) My friend Alex asked to be drawn in Simpson style on the way to Hadrian's wall...She even posed XD Soon after, I kinda drew one of all of us in the group later. Alex kinda got two and kept the better one, I kept this one as well as my own 5) My own simpsonsized self sketch...it's on my door now

my favorite is Freedom…  it is a work with great energy and a sensation of spectacular movement… the scene this designed and the composition is cool , solid and beautiful… “Me Simpsonized” deserves a commentary…  Wow!,  not is the technique .. is the sensation that the drawing transmits!!!  … this is art.. are emotions and air ... a great work. with life… magic plenty…  it seems that something… submerged in writing in thoughts, a simultaneously a day of illuminated calm….poetry... draw and a very sweet work!  thanks by you art  and... (sorry by my bad english)

So many new pictures... so little words... as usual though...  Raven - from all "tiger" pictures I've ever seen, yours are the best so far! On all of them, your characters look very believable and anatomically correct. And cute, of course. I'm a cat person, so your pictures are always very pleasant to look at.  Keep it up! I also liked the "me_simpsonized_drawing" one. Well done, and nice expression

Black_ravenEndless nightThat picture so much resembles me my own that i never has drawn (it's just in my mind). I only imagined Bart in such position looking at the moon with similar sad expression. That lion cub looks great and his expression turned out in best way. The whole picture looks a bit chaotic... you know. But the hills and clouds i like as well as the inscription in the drawing. Yah, the atmosphere represented here very pleasant to me. new_speciesBecause of his inaccurately polluted snout (face?) the picture isn't pleasant to me so... But neverthless his silly and guilty expression rather ridiculous here. Stupid big kitten! Maggie with the gunInteresting picture, you have well selected her clothing. And her body contours is really believable, i like this pic too. AlexI like the way how you made expression, more of that all - the proportions, the contours and rough shading looks noteworthy (if its possible to say). Me simpsonizedIt's really interesting to see such "selfportraits", it always harbours the attutude to yourself, as the artist percieves himself. That girl looks creative, a bit pensive and certainly handsome.
