I feel so antiquated, I've tried my hands at digital drawing and it just didn't click. All I can do is pencil drawings on paper.

I too tried using procreate a while back, and honestly the results weren't that great.

Same here. It's really a whole new set of skills, working with layers, opacity, tons of different brushes, etc. I could never get past the disconnect of drawing on a tablet while looking at a screen, so I never got far with it. Drawing on the screen itself changes everything though (either with a iPad Pro, Cintiq, Surface or whatever). There's still so much to learn, though.

Have fun guys

Posted in the other thread some time ago but I guess the dude got bogged down, unfortunately ah well!

If anyone wouldn't mind having a crack at me that'd be awesome Thanks heaps!
I'm the tall, lanky dude in both of these photos.

 

[JMizzlin]

Hahahahahaha that is absolutely rad, thanks Liquid!

 

[RebornYeti]

I may have submitted a request a million years ago, but I feel like it's safe now to request another... Please and thanks to whomever!

 

[The Hermit]

Ok then have at it

since this is back to first page...

 

[heavy liquid]

Hahahahahaha that is absolutely rad, thanks Liquid!

Thanks, and you're welcome! It was a fun one to draw.

Have fun guys

I've had this as my profile pic on Facebook for about a year and would love an update.

 

[lightskintwin]

I haven't done one of these in a loooong time but I'm trying to draw a bit more again (or at least when I can concentrate long enough) so when I saw your parents looking all superfly I wanted to give it a go heh. Shitty camera quality and questionable likeness all round but there you go lol.

Dude, That's awesome. Thank you so much.

Haven't done one of these in a while; really liked the lighting in your photo:

Will anyone deal with a junior? I have no artistic talent whatsoever, so the stuff I'm seeing here is blowing my mind.

i tried

 

[JDHarbs]

I would love to have one of these, but I don't want to put my photo out on the web for the world to see. Anyone willing to take a request via pm?

 

[mike6467]

i tried

Was it that bad? Seriously, thanks so much, love it.

If you want to shoot me a PM, I'll take a shot at it. Might take me a day or two.

I seem to be a bit late, but thanks a lot for this!

 

[liquidtmd]

Some amazing pictures in this thread, wow just been going through the lot

I'd love what you could make of me if you get chance at some point, no worries if not. Something abstract or cararictury or whatever and wherever the wind takes : )

Subbed regardless

 

[PerkeyMan]

Would appreciate it

Tried doing a quick one because I liked your expression and the coloring of your photo:

 

[Gandalf]

Hey, is this technically against the rules? If so disregard. Just a really sweet photo taken at a recent wedding I attended of my and my lady.

Would love to see how it could turn out.

Edit: Broken link, but open in new tab it's there. I never post pics often, always forget how to do it properly

 

[Alastor3]

Does that picture work?

 

[liquidtmd]

Very VERY good for a quickie, wow thank you!

 

[H.Protagonist]

Yay, thread is back! With a bunch of new pics too. Today seems like a good day to draw procrastinate~

Have a new one of my own if anyone feels like a go.

 

[heavy liquid]

Welcome back, H! Nice picture, I'm going to have to take a shot at drawing you, too.

Well, I just kind of started drawing this morning with nothing in mind, and this is where the wind took me! Hopefully you don't mind. Spent just under an hour, I guess. I probably would have spent some more time on it, but I have to get to work.

 

[zoukka]

That's damn good.

 

[heavy liquid]

Thanks, I appreciate that! Yours is also quite good. I love seeing different interpretations of the same person.

You mix me with another poster lol

 

[heavy liquid]

Whoops, I sure did! Well thanks again, and I'm going to go drink my coffee before I post anything else...

My head often gets mistaken for a landing strip, you've nailed me loving this thread, can't believe it's taken me till now to catch it.

Thank you so much. Anyone else feels like a shot, go for it - interpretation as you say does so much for my interest in art and speaks far far more about the artist than subject, always.

Have a new one of my own if anyone feels like a go.

Phew takes a lot of willpower to post something "unfinished". I really need to draw and post more to get over it.

 

[Prax]

If i finish my character profile thing today (already procrastinated for a day lol).. maybe i can do some too! :9
finally

 

[Tregard]

I am in need of a new profile picture, I'd be very grateful!

Thanks, yo. Was just thinking of this thread the other day. Really scratches an itch sometimes, right?

And, schweeeeet~ Can't wait to see it!

Totally rad! Thanks so much! You've really got nothing to worry about. You did a fantastic job. Love your style, especially how you worked the shine in on the eyes, hair, and lips. That's not a detail I'm able to express much in my own work. Bit jealous.

Praaaaaaaaaax~

 

[Prax]

Praaaaaaaaaax~

i just woke up and need to eat.
I am very good at procrastinate. :>c

See you guys in maybe.. .. uh.. .. 12 hours!

EDIT:

I actually did finish my drawing! Ahead of schedule too!
So I will be one time for this! See you at 12:30pm est! lol

 

[OnkelC]

Have at it, noble Artists!

Here you go! I struggled getting your likeness, and I see parts are still off. But I guess it'll do for now.

Yeah, It really does scratch an itch, and I'm having fun pushing myself to try and improve doing these portraits, and trying out different styles and techniques.

Hey Onkel, good to see another fantastic picture from you, hehehe! So many good new portraits to draw...

 

[Prax]

Any takers for me and my bf? I could surprise him with it

Blue is romance!!

What up with the calendar boy glam shot!

I've had this as my profile pic on Facebook for about a year and would love an update.

[[[FACEBOOK INTENSIFIES]]]

Would appreciate it

Be careful of what lurks after sunset!

I am in need of a new profile picture, I'd be very grateful!

Ominous!

Jostled jimmies!

AND THERE YOU HAVE IT!! AN HOUR'S WORTH OF WORK! yaaaay!!
I feel a bit rusty with these.. but hope they look alright! lol

 

[Jobbs]

god tier prax

one hour? jezis

 

[Gav]

Some of these are incredible!

And for something different, heres me on a weekend for the local Rugby Team...

 

[Prax]

^ I have no patience for arts (lol), so I have to try my best to keep things under 10 minutes if I wanna see it done (because I can excuse how imperfect it is by how fast I went. Otherwise I am bogged down by perfectionism). Speed is also a fun-factor!!

Oh yeah!
If anyone wanna drawer me, here is a recent selfie which I struggled for half an hour to take and ended up with duckface anywhos:

 

[The Awesomest]

Sure, why not. Have some megaphones.

 

[Jobbs]

prax do you illustrate professionally?

 

[Prax]

prax do you illustrate professionally?

No. I am a strict hobbyist because I cannot get my life together.. gahaha..
I have a weird aversion to getting paid for artwork, as much as I like money.
Sometimes I sit and think about how nice it would be to have strangers just give me money for no reason so I can continue to do art "for fun". Kinda like a Patreon, except not even be beholden to rewards/updates for patrons. The dream!!!!

I used to do a lot of graphic design and illustration, mostly freelance, but I transitioned to indie game dev where I've had some luck so far (even though my first big game still isn't released!).

Have you ever thought about getting into video game art?

 

[GamingOblivion]

[[[FACEBOOK INTENSIFIES]]]

Yesssss

I can't stop laughing; it looks fucking incredible.

 

[OnkelC]

Prax, you just made my evening. Thank you a lot!

Aight neogaf! Heres one!
Let me see some magic!

Experimenting with more comic-style inking and coloring for this one:
