Description Today is it’s time to got to the school, so before to go I want to post this little pic of Rayman I made from one of my sketches.
The sketch was made on December 11 2009 because at that day I was remembering the game with my younger bro I’m having a kinda an “artistic blocking”…a blocking of ideas or something since some months ago… a blocking to draw, I mean, I want to draw something new, and my ideas are there!! but when I have the chance I just can’t! and also I couldn’t reply my messages …At first I thought it was due the fact school and work don’t give me the time to sit down and do it, but I’m not quite sure cos when I finally have some time to draw…I just can’t draw anything! :icongawhplz:…It’s like my subconscious didn’t wanted me to make another drawing and it’s something really weird, that never happened to me before…maybe is because I joined to a club and I noticed, it’s not just with their members…or maybe is just lack of inspiration…Well anyway, yesterday I was making a homework about commercial business types. The teacher wanted us to give our opinion about which of them were better and why, but I got stuck in the middle of my essay…So I thought to paint so I can focus again after that. You know, it may sound weird, but when I feel exasperated with something, to draw, or in this case to paint, It really helps me a lot! So I decided to add color to one of my sketches, because I was so amazed and excited to see the surprised great appreciation of my first Sketchdump!! So I painted Rayman!
You know what? that sketch of him was my first sketch ever (because although I played the game, I don’t know why but never drew him before, just liked the game ) and I think drew it just to remember my childhood times, and the funny thing is, the sketch was made without reference, and even so it came out very well! And with this pic I tried some of the brushes that my friend suggested me, and I loved a lot the outcome!! I decided to ad a simple background because there is nothing green in Rayman’s body, and when it comes to make backgrounds, it’s better to make them of a color that subject of the drawing don’t have, and I think this green fits very well!
I used to play that game when we were kids (my brothers and me) and we liked very much that game for a pretty good time! And when I used to play I thought Rayman was very cool, and what I really liked about him was the fact his body wasn’t attached, and that made him look peculiar and fun and that’s why it was amused to see him in action! His desing was very original.I used to play and see him jumping and running and stuff like that, because it seemed like his body was actually attacked for some invisible energy! his limbs were never far away ..…And that was very logic since in the game story he’s made of pure energy! (I think it was, I can’t remember it now very well ) that’s why he’s named Rayman, I loved the logic of that fact! Other thing I liked very much about this guy was his attack with his fists. Sure you remember it! those fist flying like guided missiles to attack the enemy! …OH MAN!! I think I’m remembering my good old times with videogames right now! …Old good times ….when my brothers were friendly with each other *sigh*…and we used to talk for hours and play every game together, even those who were just “one player” ones, cos while one of us was playing, the other "Get out there" "kick it hard" "beware of that monster"…Oh… I really miss those times….I liked the sceneries and structures of the game too, but I always had to deal with the platforms!! sometimes I took hours to complete the levels cos I couldn’t cross the plathforms!
I want to dedicate this to for her support to my work, and to and cos they liked my rayman sketch.

Ah, well I remember his little purple form, one of my earliest gaming experiences I like his hair! It must have been difficult deciding what to do with it, it's a weird thing that hair XD I like his shiney eyes too ^^

he thanks a lot!^^ This was one of my very first games too It was quite easy to do the hair indeed, I think it was because it was fun to make this drawing! And when you are having fun with something, it doesn't feel like it is difficult.
His hair is one of the things I liked very much about the character, that and the fact his arms could be used as guided missiles! I think that one was a clever idea!

I love drawing hair, it's the one time you can just let your hand move where it wants in a drawing Long hair and floaty robes and stuff...that's my specialty XD

Oh boy!!! that's the most clever thing I've heard so far!!
You're SO RIGHT pal!!! My! Damn right! that's why I LOVE love drawing hair too!! because of that! Hair is my soft spot! that's my specialty too! When I was a kid I used to draw girls very much just to draw the hair! Now I haven't drawn hair much, cos I'm lacking of inspiration for that, but I think I hope to do it soon, and I will tell you if I draw something

I hope you get your inspiration back soon It's horrible when you just can't seem to draw that certain thing Even all y male characters have got long hair XD I really struggle with modern hairstyles!

Very right mate! It's very awful when you want to draw and you realize you've got a totally blank mind! But I think it's more awful when you have lots and lots of ideas but it happens that when you want to draw you can't make your drawings look like you imagined them!!! I mean, to make the look as you wanted them to look, that is very exasperating!! *pulls her hair*...And that's precisely what it have been happened to me!
I've been having some amazing dreams about short comics september, an some weeks ago. They're so awesome and fresh, that after having them, I'm thinking on those ideas in the middle of the night, and no matter what I try, I can't sleep! Seriously!
I've spend many nights trying to sleep after a brief dream until dawn comes! and then I have to go OUT the bed and go to work, and then I feel like a fumigated bug at work because of that! you have passed through something similar?..Or it's just me? ....well the thing is I can't spleep, and I don't know what to do ...You got some advise?

I used to keep a notebook beside me, then write down the ideas so that I could carry on with them when I net had the time - generally I wake up and there are random words just scrawled across a whole page XD Things like "Would YOU shave a goat? Think of other animals!" XD So maybe it's not such a good idea!

That sounds good!
well, the only inconvenient I see, it's the fact I can't write anything on paper since many time ago, due a bad experience with a diary when I was a kid...but well, maybe I should dare to write it...maybe..

Wow you did a lovely job with Rayman and with using those new brushes. i'm glad you found them useful! The whole thing has a very stucco quality to it like it's made of thick grainy paint laid on with a palette knife. It's very textural and has depth like it was a practical piece instead of a digital one. You've got a knack for them.

Hehehee thanks! ^^ I'm glad you think I've used them well! And Oh boy! and I loved what you said about the texture and the depth, I love the fact you always notice the little details I put effort to add!! most of people never notice that!
