Description Aaaargh, I know it sucks! First time I tried myself on an (almost) full view picture of TMNT- it's really hard! This time I had to use some pictures as a copy, to draw the hands.
And don't be too confused by the stuff in the backround and the line across Raph's thigh, it's the railing of the stairs...yes, they're standing on the stairs, this is why there is such a difference in their height
I only want to upload it here to show the progress of my drawing practise, that's all. I don't expect cheering comments, but I'd also like if you didn't throw too much dirt upon me, thanks!

Ooooh, yes! Whoever thought it was easy to draw a turtle, especially one with kissing mouth- TRY IT AND YOU'LL SEE!!! It's frikkin' tough!

I actually wanted to draw a kissing picture- but somehow it came out looking like they were trying to eat one another....I'll have to practise a lot more before I can make a "sequel" for this picture.

Thanks! I'm sure Raph won't refuse this offer- just look at him! He's quite pleased with the situation, I'd say. Maybe I'll try another pairing next time- Leo and Don, or Raph and Don...or Don and Mikey???

Eelayne [2008-04-21 13:03:11 +0000 UTC]

Aaaah, how cute is that!!! Mikey and Raph...I really like how you drew Mikey making this sweet mouth, waiting to get a kiss from Raphie! Lovely!
So don't you always say your drawing is crappy, I mean, c'mon, give yourself a chance! You have just started to draw again, and surely it isn't easy to get into all the anatomical stuff, PLUS the fact that the TMNT have shells and three fingers! If you have only drawn five fingered hands in your life before, it surely isn't easy to imagine two fingers missing. A friend of mine told me I should tape my fingers and try to draw them that way...I haven't tried it yet, but probably I will later. Maybe you can do that, too.

RaphsImzadhi In reply to Eelayne [2008-04-21 18:36:03 +0000 UTC]

Taping your fingers? Funny idea!
Actually, my drawing is like a rollercoaster. There are day when everything goes perfect, and I can even draw rather difficult pictures. But then- like today- it seems like simply nothing will ever work! And that sucks to no limit!!!! I hate it, and it leaves me frustrated. I already tried myself on anatomical studies, like you told me. But even that was like...hmm, how to say it?
Brotlose Kunst! That's it! It had no use for me until now, it's not enough to draw arms and legs, because I have to find out about perspectives. I can't draw a decent body front!!! It looks like....shit!

You actually like it? I was kinda screaming with laughter when I drew Mikey's face, trying to make him look like he points his lips for a kiss...first I wanted to color it with PS- but then I thought it wasn't that good, so instead I just used color pencils.

Aa, you'll get better to the point you'll be all like "I'm going to CG this baby and no one's going to stop me!!" Then I'll be going all fangirl on your stuff. ^^ Even more so then what I already am doing. XD

I hope I'll soon be able to use the layers decently- I still haven't figured out how it works exactly. The shading...argh!!! I simply don't get it, it's difficult to find out how the lightning falls and where the shadows are. *more practise*

My fangirl? Let's make a contest: who's the craziest fangirl? I love your works to pieces!!!

RaphsImzadhi In reply to Hiso-chan [2008-04-28 06:59:39 +0000 UTC]

I'll move into a new appartment- a smaller one. My current "residence" is a bit too big for me, or at least I thought that. I was unemployed for two months, and decided to find a cheaper appartment. Now that I've found it, I probably will have a new job, where I get more money than in the previous one.... but I didn't know that before, and I still don't regret my decision, because I didn't like my neighbours, and the house I'm moving into now has a seperate bungalow- and that will be my new home. So no direct neighbours, hehe!

Not....awww, that's a pity! I tried so hard on pencil and rubber- especially RUBBER!!!! I totally suck at their anatomy! But this was my first almost-self-drawn picture of them, I only used copies for their hands this time. That's some progress, I think.

lol, small progress is some progress, and the more you practice, the better you'll be, lets just say this was a 'self-tutorial'... that came out better then I thought

My problem is, like I already told Eelayne: there are some day when I manage to draw almost everything I want, even if it's not perfect. But then, like I had it today, I can't even draw a straight line without using my rubber ten times for ten centimeters...it totally sucks!!! I suck....

oh you don't suck, your still doing a better job then me, I mean come on, I can't even do 1 story - though thats probably because my imagination is so retardedly awesome that I'm trying to write one story with all my idea's, but it just generally wouldn't make sense, so I'd start writing, then 3 days i've lost interest but still want to write it, know what I mean?

I know....I started to work on my new Taboo chapter three days ago- but haven't written any word for it since then...and drawing is sometimes the same. I start something, and when I feel it doesn't turn out the way I want it, I feel like a looser and give up...

I guess the saying is true - 'there is such a thing as too much imagination' and i think its starting to effect me... DAMN YOU IMAGINATION FOR BEING TOO DAMN GOOD! WHY WON'T YOU BE MORE NARROW AND EASY TO COMPREHEND!

RaphsImzadhi In reply to kid-saiyen [2008-04-23 07:14:01 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, sometimes a too living imagination should be forbidden, and there should be pills against it. Though...I think there are pills against it...

kid-saiyen In reply to RaphsImzadhi [2008-04-23 11:31:24 +0000 UTC]

no, there shouldn't cos taking pills means there's something mentally wrong with you - and while the problem is mental, i don't think its wrong, well unless your thinking of something all too revealing

I know someone who could write a book about mental deseases, taking pills and all that stuff....she's been through a lot of crap during her life.
So NO pills for me!

um... your not talking about Eelayne are you? cos if so, then I didn't think she was THAT bad. but you realize just how retarded pills are right cos if you don't, there'd be some slapping - on German teachers for not explaining just how bad it is to take pills

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

RaphsImzadhi In reply to kid-saiyen [2008-04-24 06:39:43 +0000 UTC]

I don't think that this is a problem with German teachers, and if you need pills to be able to handle your daily life, then I don't think you have that much of a choice. My mother, for example. Her doctor found out that she has serious problems with her heart. So she had to take 6 different pills, from one day to the other....if she didn't, she'd probably be dead soon...
It's a difference if you take a pill just because you've got a headache, or because you're seriously ill.

kid-saiyen In reply to RaphsImzadhi [2008-04-24 07:34:06 +0000 UTC]

now THOSE sorts of pills are ok, but the pills you wanna look out for are those that are said to release your imagination... they tend to release it into you own reality and start attacking and you get all wide-eyed and start screaming around looking like a retard

RaphsImzadhi In reply to kid-saiyen [2008-04-24 16:05:16 +0000 UTC]

Well, sometimes I could really need an own reality, which is only for me, with noone around. Would make some things a lot easier sometimes. Not that I'll go out, looking for such stuff now, I mean, hey, I'm living in Hannover! You can get such stuff at every corner here.
