Nina's Art Thread.

[CatchingOrigami]

I'll keep my artwork under one thread, for the sake of organisation, and I'll probably make a photography one also. If anyone has any constructive criticism, I'd very much love to hear it. Starting off with some of my favourite work so far.

Damn girl. Seems like I've finally found someone here who doesn't just trace pictures of anime people. I like your stuff allot. Keep doing what you do, but have you ever though about trying something on canvas?

[starbrite5]

These are really awesome! If the second one is in oil pastel, I have very big amounts of respect for you because that stuff is extremely hard to work with. And even if it isn't, I still do because this is some amazing work. :)

[Magus]

Wow. Now, those are something. I like the first and the third. Yes, I am a drawing and counter-line drawing kinda of guy. Ever thought of pencil modeling, now that will be awesome if you do. The last pen sketch is superb, I like the small concept. The second is brilliant! I like it; this is what real expressionists do.

yes, I started a canvas a while back, its fairly simple, but I like what I began. I had a major life switch about, so I never got round to finishing it, but I'm getting there :]

Yes it is in oil pastel, thanks :} I really hated doing that, I'd never used oils before and it pissed me off thoroughly, especially as I only had scraggy bits of oil pastels >:l but I'm quite happy with it now n.n

Counter-line is just drawing with just curved and straight lines; in other words, a finished sketch with clean lines. Most comic books uses this style.

Pencil modelling is basically drawing, but using different shades of gray to add depth to an object or person. Portraiture is mostly done by using the pencil modelling style. Other medium can be used is charcoal.

oh yes, I've done pencil modelling. I'll show you.
I've also done err counter-line? but idk, its probably a tad stylistic, not sure if it counts. this one is of my friend, its the more recent of my realist works,
