…Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain - the book (first or 2nd edition), DVD, Workbook or whatever, would you post some of the stuff you’re proud of, please?
I hadn’t heard of the book until after I could already draw. I was going through my tips for how I figured out how to draw well, and someone said I had the used the same technique as outlined in the book. So assuming that’s close enough fer ya.
Have you read the book? There are tons of before and afters in it.
Wonderful, Sage Rat! Thanks for posting!
Oh yes,** Cisco**, I’ve read the book, and I’ve looked at the art many many times. I wanted to see what our folks did with the book.
Once, maybe a year ago, a Doper started a thread asking others what project(s) they were working on. I was blown away by the response.
I wish I’d copied the whole thread.
The longer I look, the more I like it. She and the rabbit are in some fairy tale place where trees grow upside down beneath a most unusual sky. She’s dancing on the water’s surface, and the rabbit is just sitting happily, with eyes as blue as the water.
All in all, very very nice. Thanks again.
P.S. What are those things in the background? There are two distinctly different objects. Seven are the same and are in soft focus, and in front of them are two sharper images, one looking like a tiny, cordless parachute.
The pink roundish things are in the foreground really. They’re cherry blossoms that are floating about.
The picture is meant to be a takeoff of the Alice in Wonderland series, hence the rabbit and little blond girl.
Ah! So much for my interpretation.
More important that it makes you happy than that it gets interpretted right. It’s not quite modern art.
Anime?
Sort of, I based the look a bit on a manga (comic book) artist named Shota Kikuchi. Though I did draw it for school (which was a class on drawing anime in Tokyo.)
I would like to see him do a manga version of Alice. I think it would fit his style quit well, and would be saleable to the West. Most of his manga at the moment are highly tied to Japanese tradition, so a lot would be hard to carry over.
He has a very Ancient Grecian way of drawing bodies. But I only mimiced his way of drawing faces.
Playing poker. Will check out the links later. Thank you.
