So I figured I'd start a new thread to post my other drawings, it could even be used as the new artist thread, or not if you guys wanna start a different one.
This one is kinda old (about 3 years) and is of me and my ex

This is the one I did in pen of my ex,

Here is another one
I am not worried about copyright on these (the portraits are easy enough to prove are mine :P and the anime isn't a favorite character of mine) plus I dont have a program to add the watermarks (not even pain )
Thanks nautical!
here is a picture I did on scratchboard... looong time ago but I still like it (It was for school and for some reason I got a bad grade... maybe teacher was jealous? )
oh and im sorry they are so big... dunno how to fix the sizes... my first was small and these are big. :P
I am on page 56 of the "the artist in you" I love so many of the works in there and im feeling definatly inspired to try some new stuff.
I esp loved the paintings you did on the maple leaves jrebel those were gorgeous.
You really have done some awesome stuff with your drawing! Thanks for posting the images! You really are quite talented! I hope that you look to make a living at doing things with your art! Although, I do know how hard it is for anyone involved in the arts of any kind to make a living at it.
One of the beauties to "The Artist in you!" thread, was because it became all-inclusive to those involved in the arts of any kind. That would include the visual arts, performing arts and the written/language arts. In order to be polite and fair, I'm waiting to see what firmbeliever has in mind about starting a similar thread, if she wants to do that. But, it could be that there could be various threads on this site devoted to art of certain, specific kinds also.
This site is like an encyclopedia of knowledge and gets excellent results when people search for things on the Internet. As such, it would be good if sections, such as those in the arts, since they can be so broad, could be divided into various categories so that those seeking specific information about a particular type of art could easily find it.
It was so nice to see people of many backgrounds posting things about their art of various kinds even though they might come from totally different backgrounds and persuasions in other areas of their lives.
We were truly "one" there!
Please keep up your fine work that you are doing with your art!
You know, there was a person who participated on The Artist in you! thread for awhile who used the same quote in her signature as you do. "If you can't love me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best." I think that is kinda cool! Like, artists think alike!
I really had a lump in my throat in closing that thread! It was like I pulled the plug and all the life was gone! Some of us had become quite close on it. But, that's not really true that it would be gone. We just need to regroup in some way here.
What you have to share here, Delow84, is obviously very sensitive and creative! You will undoubtedly form some close friendships here too as you continue to post about your art.
WELCOME!! It's nice to see some new blood in the Art topic area!
Delow84, you show such great expression in your work. I am so glad you posted more of your art. Are you in the process of strving to get your art out to the public at this time? I would be interested to know the dimensions on some of your work and how long each piece takes you to complete. Are they matted and framed at this time? Have you had them scanned and prints made of them? Full of questions, as always, I am. I really love your work.

No I love the questions, I have alot of people who admire my work but not many artists I can talk to about them ya know?
All my drawings are done on basicly the size of computer paper. Although I did make a much larger print of the one where she is laying asleep. Other then that I don't have any prints or copies out there, although I would love to do it.
And no none are framed yet, I still need go get me the fixative, then I will probably frame them all.
Where I am at I only know of hobby lobby as a place for art supplies etc, so I dunno where I could go to get my work out. Or where to go to get some scans/prints done.

Just a suggestion but you might Google "Giclee Prints (and then the name of your town and state). If there is a printer that does the Giclee, they would probably come up with a link and a phone number. My printer does cold press on mine but because of your style, they might choose hot press. If you have looked at any of my pencil drawings, you will see tha tI get very texturie. The hot press would change the look a little too much, at least that is what the guy that does my print shared with me. Try the next largest city if you don't find any in your town. It is well worth it. I tried other printers and the Giclee is far superior. It gets a little pricey since you have your work scanned (but with yours not being large, as long you scan them at home and have at least 300 dpi and have it set for greyscale, you could burn your own CD of your work, then take it and just order prints or cards or book marks, etc. The gal reclining would make a great bookmark. The printer does my book marks elongated for a more artsy look.
I totally understand when you said, "I have alot of people who admire my work but not many artists I can talk to about them ya know?"
I am the same way. That is why "The Artist In You" thread and this thread and the whole forum has been such a blessing to me. Even though it is just basically "virtual" I have formed several close friendships here. I know you will also and probably already have.
I would love for you to try the Brsitol Smooth paper which is available at Hobby Lobby for your drawings. You have more talent than I ever will in your ability to project the mood of the piece so clearly.
Keep posting, sharing and caring! Blessings to you!
yay, yet another reason this site is such a blessing. I will definitely look for the giclee printers, and try that. Man lol I can't imagine my work on stuff. I am gonna keep taking pictures or even looking through old ones to try and find more to draw.
The one pic of her laying down was done in real time, no pic or anything. And she didnt like to lay still when sleeping >.<. lol
I will definitely put together my own cd, im more or less certain I can get it at least 300 dpi and greyscale. I dunno about the cold and hot presses but I will research it all. (when i do stuff I tend to read all the literature I can on the subject lol) and Ill be out tomorrow ima stop by Hobby lobby and grab the fixture stuff, and the bristol smooth paper. (I think thats the type comic book artists prefer?) Ill post more pics when I go through em, or do more.
-edit- Ok found me a place that does them, prices are decent so I just gotta touch up my drawings, scan and burn them to CD. I like the idea of putting them on a canvas and framing it. (needed something to decorate my walls with lol) Tuesday I will probably go. Who knew pictures of my ex would turn out being something worth keeping around
I actually feel inspired now to draw more, thanks to everyones great feedback, and advice on what to do
