Objective's new avatar reminded me of the walruses I used to doodle on school work, and so I recreated it in Inkscape.

Shook, I like how your lizards are really gaining detail with each passing drawing.

Good work to ya! c:

Thanks very much! c:
Honestly though, i still like making simpler drawings of dinosaurlizardthings, what mostly matters is what kind of drawing that i/one is setting out to make. It's also a fact that it takes a LOT longer to draw with a higher detail level, for fairly obvious reasons, and as it happens, i am a very lazy man.

and do you know how my laziness also shows?

the extremely conservative shading on these two gurls

In my own defense though, it's hard to get a good enough look at people when they're also trying to draw someone. :v (also the blurry photos make the drawings look WAY better than they actually are)
Also, if the second drawing seems a bit stretched, it's because i was looking at the paper from a fairly shallow angle while drawing. I had to find a comfortable position where i wouldn't move my head around too much, and then all of a sudden she has a long face when viewed straight on.

Now, somewhere in another forum, a person uploads a sketch of Shook sketching the girls.

-shading real life grills-

Shook, push yer values more. More contrast between the darkest dark of the shading and the not-so-dark of the shading and the light not-shaded-at-all not-shading of the shading (aka light) will help make the shading stand out more.

I have the exact same problem of not pushing my values more in shading. I go with the really subtle soft variation in tones and eventually everything's the same shade of pencil-y grey. My justification is "I don't wanna mess up and ruin it! D:"

[Shook]

Oh i'm aware of that, i'm mostly just too lazy to fix it, but thanks for the advice. Relative values (read: shadows versus paper white) are also important in that it looks crazy bad if really subtle shadows are rendered with too much of a heavy hand (plus it's easier to add more pencil than it is to erase the right amount), and at the same time, i don't feel like adding colour to the ENTIRE face due to the time and effort required. :v

Also worth noting is that the lighting in the room really didn't lend itself well to clearly defined shadows, since it's basically a school room with a lot of powerful fluorescent lights scattered all over the ceiling, so most shadows were quite faint. But yes, my rendering of the shadows is TOO faint.

... It's not impossible.

Well, dayuuum.
Those are truly beautiful drawings, Shook.

Aw shiet, thanks Caroline. <3
