Katya's Art Gallery

Remember, I'm utterly lazy.

Gawd Is THAT an understatement....

Looking good there .. continue

[Taiga]

Hmm... maybe it's time I stop bragging about my Cintiq and draw something cool (not that the stuff I've been doing on MSN isn't) with it. xD

[lazysunside]

time for me to get back to practice as well....resting lazily for 4 days without doing anything except listening to music and stay idle

[Katyusha]

And now for a view that's completely different


Delran, Ragnarok Online (07/05/08)
5th in a series of drawings of fellow guildmates in the Ragnarok Online guild Celestial Drifters. This is the Knight, Delran, played by Ronnie Islam.

[Taiga]

Heh, i suggest you ink a few. i'll colour them if you like.

[Katyusha]

I am far far too lazy to do any inking. Mainly since digitally, it requires too much work. And you do not want to see my last attempt to ink something on paper.

[Taiga]

Buckle down already. you may find you enjoy it.

[lazysunside]

Look at me. I'm still lazy but still doing inking and learn how to draw buy CPU too

[Katyusha]

Maiya Hisau, Fate/Zero (05/06/08)
Got bored, sketched at random, and gave it Maiya's (from Fate/Zero) hair. It ended up alot cuter than I expected. Sandwich eating was based off Tohsaka Rin's picnic scene in Unlimited Blade Works scenario. Arguably, it looks alot like Arcrueid Brunestud from Tsukihime too.


Random, Nothing in particular (05/06/08)
Just something random for the megane-ko fans. Used Maiya's hair because it was simple and kinda cute.

Remember I do have that example... Which I'll NOT share

[Katyusha]

Ah yes, that one is one of my secret shames...

[Kagami]

what are you two talking about?
You can trust me

[Katyusha]

Because I liked the result of the glasses wearing one so much.

[lazysunside]

damn, did u create them?

[Katyusha]

Not entirely. It's more of "overlaying different character styles Im used to to one another."

Last one for example is basically a mesh of how I drew things on Maiya Hisau (Fate/Zero), Servant Rider (Fate/Stay Night) and Arcruied (Tsukihime) into a single character.

[lazysunside]

i'll take back my thoughts now....

[Katyusha]

Maiya Hisau, Fate/Zero (15/06/08)
Been reading through Fate/Zero again (finally got volume 4 last week). Just *HAD* to do another one of Maiya. Business suits are harder to draw than they look. The suit is actually Bazett's from Fate/Hollow Ataraxia, since the artwork only ever shows Maiya in 1 outfit, and hell, both Kiritsugu and Saber were wearing business suits already, thought I'd do it for variety. Women's business suits are harder to draw than they look. *mutters something about the seams*

[Katyusha]

I believe someone asked at 1 point regarding how I go about drawing things. this time, pics of it from multiple phases.

1) I very lightly produce an outline of what what I want. These will generally be the general look of what I'm drawing



2) I then start adding in details and darkening the outline, changing slightly to conform to details.



3) I work on the smaller shading details like the creases and folds. This way I dont complain about them being a pain later.

4) Shade it for general colour tone.

[Shamisen]

It would seem the care package of #2 pencils has arrived......

Should you need more...........

[Taiga]

Twas i who asked.

I was curious as to whether or not you used a structural base to draw around, as i do.

When I draw, it starts out as a vaguely humanoid shape that gets fleshed out and features added.

[lazysunside]

i usually start with the head (egg shape) then a series of triangles. Noticeable that how human stand is also a grant triangle shape too

[Katyusha]

I was supposed to recieve a pack of #2 pencils?

And yes, it does generally start off as a general "vaguely person-looking thing" (wearing vaguely clothes-looking things). Then details get lightly added in until im happy with the general feel of it. Then starts the tracing in and detailing ~_~

[lazysunside]

i'm starting to try how draw manga in both real and digital. Since digital have good screen tones so it'll be easier for me to do it.

[Taiga]

On most humans the centre of balance is the naval. When drawing a good trick is to draw a line down from it and distance the feet the same in either direction. or... on one foot... ON the line.

[Katyusha]

I still find it funny how that drawing was initially inteded to be Maiya Hisau in a suit. Somehow, it ended up resembling Elena from FF7 as well. And maybe Maria Tachibana from Sakura Taisen if her hair covered an eye. I chalk this down to people in suits with short hair generally resembling one another.

[Taiga]

sorta reminds me of Itsuki, in the attitude.

[lazysunside]

damn gotta learn how to draw itsuki hair

[Kagami]

i gotta learn to draw. period

[lazysunside]

go Chris. Be the fourth person in here that learn how to draw and post their art work that i know

Seems the memory of a certain pidgen chat needs refreshing..

*Looks to see if that jars a few gray cells!*
