cute character, but I prefer Render as a Dingo ^^

Well! My philosophy teacher broke down and threw a hissy fit over something largely unimportant today, and I thought I'd sneak in a few doodles of him during class. It turned out better than I expected so I ended up colouring it.

Oh and I drew him as a dog. Mr. Barker is now just Barker :3

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Fri Sep 05, 2014 3:24 pm

I love that drawing! Thats what every teacher be is like xD

So I've been drawing this since last night.

-~-Animatronic Blizzard is just serving drinks to the guests! Maybe after he's done, you can ask him for a dance :3-~-

While looking at my artwork, I was wondering "What does Hukley do to make his characters look so good?"
Was it the background he uses? Or does he shade differently than me?
So I checked both and found that instead of using just one color for shading, he uses 3 or 4! So, I shaded my latest drawing with 3 different shades of black at 55%, 44%, and 33% opacity to create this new (to me) shading!
Without Hukley as my inspiration, I would never have figured this out.

I also changed the eye coloring to make the shades in the eyes a bit sharper than before rather than just the simple white on top black on bottom.

Also, Blizzard doesn't have his snowflake tag. I couldn't find a way to fit it in, so its just him and his fluffyness.

And then I realized something else. I've come a long way since my first digital drawing. I made a Now and Then picture of the 2 side by side.

I realized that I have come so far with my artwork, and it is because of you guys helping me out, so I sincerely thank you!

Great job Neon! You really have improved!

Daaaawh but he's so fluffy now!

@deepskycyan: Hey, that looks really good! Hehe, very fitting name!

@Neon: FNAF! FNAF everywhere!

Very well done!
And you're right. I use at least 2 layers for shading (most of the time 25% and 30%) and one for the light (mostly 40%). I'm glad I could help you!

It's really cool to see how you improved!

Keep it up!

Alright. I just noticed that I haven't drawn a skunk yet

Time to change that! (Because they're really cute)

Is this supposed to tell me something?!?

Saturn381 · Post by **Saturn381** » Fri Sep 05, 2014 3:47 pm

Great job Hukley! He looks so cute!

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Fri Sep 05, 2014 3:48 pm

Thanks, Huk! Nice skunk ^w^

I like the skunk picture a lot. It is really well done!

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Fri Sep 05, 2014 4:54 pm

Awesome Hukley!

Cool reindeer version, great pose and expression, too! Nice skunk, keep up drawing new animals!

Nice draws, Sergei.

Nice sketch, deepskycyan, it turned out good.

Good work there, MrNeonShot, keep improving the difference!

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Fri Sep 05, 2014 5:08 pm

Thanks, Saturn and Cesco! But I'm not sure what else I have to work on now...

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Fri Sep 05, 2014 6:30 pm

Well I'm no artist so I can't really critique much. But when unfocused, the background usually isn't double unless you're drunk. Try a blur of some sort. Maybe smooth out the lines a bit. Once again I'm not an artist, feel free to ignore me.

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Fri Sep 05, 2014 7:54 pm

You don't need to be an artist to make good suggestions.

Kinda like how I don't write music, but that doesn't mean I can't listen to song and say, "That sounds like it should have something after the second chorus. Maybe a solo of some kind?"

It still lets people know where they can work on things. Especially because if someone who doesn't know the subject can pick something out, chances are other people will too.

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Fri Sep 05, 2014 9:40 pm

I know, it's just whenever I say things it feels like people tend to get defensive and try to tell me I don't know what I'm talking about because I can't draw.

I see that it's better here though. Makes me smile.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Fri Sep 05, 2014 9:45 pm

Great work, Neon! I agree with Deske's suggestion. It's amazing how far you've come though. I can haz that soda please, Blizzard?

Huk: D'aww.

@Deepskycyan: Your art is very impressive too! You should keep it up and share more with us! I can't say I approve of making fun of teachers but the art is still very well done!

@Deske: I can't say for sure why people would react like that but there are little techniques you can use that can help people be more receptive to getting feedback. Feel free to PM me if you'd like me to share some of them with you.

Awwww Huk that's the cutest thing! XD

And nice draw neon! Do you mind if I have a sip? 83

Oh, and here's a little late something for hyper...

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sat Sep 06, 2014 6:10 am

Wo, Crux. Just wow. You're an artist. Your work is getting amazing!

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Sat Sep 06, 2014 10:39 am

I tried a soft blur, but it didn't turn out like it should've. Ah well, next time.

Crux, I'll react to your drawing when I see it, but of course you may have a sip 6w6

Hukley · Post by **Hukley** » Sat Sep 06, 2014 11:40 am

@Neon, Cesco, Amazee and Saturn: Thank you very much ^^ I really like how the little guy turned out

@Cesce: Heh, I'm already working on a new species

@Crux: Awesome Hyper picture! I love the sandmonster and how you drew the sand at all!

Here's something I drew for texascat018

Pilot 4 Hire

aBritishfox · Post by **aBritishfox** » Sat Sep 06, 2014 2:48 pm

Hurrah, now someone can finally pilot Veb!

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Sat Sep 06, 2014 3:56 pm

Cool draw Crux, nice shading.

Once again, amazing work with this other fursona, Hukley.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Sep 06, 2014 6:25 pm

He can pilot me anytime. I like him a lot!

Hukley · Post by **Hukley** » Sat Sep 06, 2014 6:57 pm

Thanks!

Hehe, funny fact: He's pilot in real life so you actually can fly with him

Speaking of new species: Here's my first Ice Bear

It's something I drew for a friend

A True Ice Bear

Dat sand though :3

I've remastered the Blizzard animatronic to add less drunk and less chuck e cheese confetti.
I've also added a kangaroo character in the background admiring the animatronic...

Really wonderful pictures from all who draw. I wish I could draw like that!

Thanks very much, Huk. I like it very much. But I also have to go with Neon's opinion, I also like my Dingo form more.

Maybe Rendeer will come back for Openermas...

Yes, you made much progress, very good!

That turned out very good, it makes the picture a lot better. Well done!

Crux wrote:Oh, and here's a little late something for hyper...

That, Crux, is great. As I said already, your sand is incredible.

Deske wrote:Once again I'm not an artist, feel free to ignore me.

Don't be so hard to yourself. I'm no artist myself and I drove Huk crazy with many many little things about the skunk.

And the skunk turned out great. Maybe Huk is willing to post the first final version he made to compare them.

Daawwww, that's cute.

Hehe, yeah Render can be pretty pesky when it comes to details

Alright... here are the two pictures. On the left side you can see the first version and on the right side the final version... Can you find all 8 differences?

And here's something I drew for ~\Rook/~

It's his fursona Dan 'Danny' Lionheart

I can fix it!

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Sun Sep 07, 2014 1:21 pm

I can spot 7 for sure:
- Highlight on the nose
- Shortened highlight on heel
- Straightening of top edge on the curl of the tail
- Highlight on thumb
- Smaller shadow under air freshener
- Changed shadow around feet
- Slightly lighter on middle toe

Do I get credit for 7/8? =3

Yes you have seven.
- Shortened highlight on heel
The heel is shorter over all.
- Straightening of top edge on the curl of the tail
At first it looked like he had two tails... XD

One little thing is still missing.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sun Sep 07, 2014 2:39 pm

I like Dan a whole lot! He really came out nice!

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Sun Sep 07, 2014 2:42 pm

Does the shadow on the air freshener (or lack thereof) count as separate from the shadow under it?

Yes, that was the last thing!

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Sun Sep 07, 2014 2:50 pm

Yay!

My ATD is good for something other than taking forever on drawings and driving commissioned artists nuts!

Almost didn't get that one - figured the shadow was an extension of the shadow underneath for some reason (a case of visual semantics).

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Sun Sep 07, 2014 4:03 pm

Lovely ice bear and great fursona drawing, Hukley.

That's a better looking background, MrNeonShot.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Sun Sep 07, 2014 5:53 pm

Okay, second of 5 drawings for 5 nights at Blizzard's!

-~- This is Ollie the animatronic mouse! Specially designed for hugs and fun in the playground!
Here he is giving a hug to one of his biggest fans :3 -~-

Nothing much to say about this one. I saw a really cute mouse drawing and wanted to replicate the character. Sadly, I couldn't find one that was *cough*... appropriate, so I just drew my own character. Enjoy! ^w^

Looks pretty good, Stan! However, one small critique: The hand on the human is too big (it's about the same size as his head). The head could be a little bit taller, but that's just being nit-picky.
