Heres my failed first attempt, It'ss not done yet, and it's on copy paper with a #2 mechanical pencil lol.
all i use are mechanical pencils i lost my favorite one that helped me draw the tegu make me sad it was special made in japan not china :'( i wouldn't call that a failed attempt...
It looks ok I guess. And really? I find mechanical pencils hard to work with. They always break on me, but this may be because I don't own any good ones lol. anywho, not reptile related, but I drew a banana that was near me. I gotta work on shadowing...a lot. Whatcha think?
i always use a mechanical pencil, i never liked having to change pencils with those expensive sets, and i hate sharpening pencils.
most of my drawings look like failures to me before i completely finish them the rest of mine... besides the most look like failures all the way through... but they pan out and look way better completely finished so you should try finishing the first one love to see it and the banana it's good enough to eat my friend a lil more darker shading would help to spread it around use a paper towel it helps a lot covering a lot of paper with a mechanical
How do you guys do scales? A whole bunch of circle/triangles against each other seems to look terrible. Any better methods of doing it?
huh..i havent heard of anything better.. i just use circles/boxes depending on what it more closely resembles sometimes crosshatch when it looks chainlink or checkered looking scales
What do you guys think of this one? I suck at coloring with colored pencils i just recently got better colors.. the first drawing i tried out with the new colors..
@geckolover21 and @badger711-your's are both great!(especially compared to mine lol ) The colors look awesome on the bird!~they really bring it to life lol and the banana is great! I've never been good at drawing much lol-we had to draw a still life of fruit a few years ago and I failed That start of a lizard looks like it's coming along well too! ~~Also just wanted to say I always used to use mechanical's until last year when they all broke and I ran out of lead :/ You also can't use the eraser much..So, I always use regular now lol-My friend that draws anime buys some special kind from Japan I think that cost a lot and work real well.
Yeah i ordered derwents, they are like 15 bucks for 12 pencils lol. And Awesome bird, the coloring looks awesome. I like the contrast
Here's a lizardy dragon thing from a dream I had. It's part of a bigger picture so I should have more soon-ish (a snake and another dragon).
