Pen and paper

[alan nagsworth]

Do you draw? Fucking prove it, then. The old visual art thread is ... old now, so here is a shiny new thread just for things that you have drawn.

I drew this today at work:

[Buffalo Many Times]

Probably posted this in a previous thread but for the sake of shoring up support for this wonderful endeavour to see more stuff I'll put it here.

Extract from a recent sketchbook:

Jumble you big show off! Do the people in the turkish baths not mind you sketching them?

I've been drawing alphabetical robots for http://alphabots.tumblr.com

I is for the Iron Man by Ted Hughes

J is for Jed from Jed the Humanoid by Grandaddy

[babyshambler]

I drew this of my friend Luke who's a genuine Polish person. It's still on the filing cabinet at work despite the fact he left before Christmas. The 'LUKE' sticky label was on his tray! I miss him!

We have an 'arrangement'.

[Neville Chamberlain]

Just recently started getting back into me drawing. Here's a pen-and-ink brutalist tableau I did (bloody hipster!)...

[small_world]

Wow. That's fucking class and pretty much exactly what I want on my living room walls...
I used to be ok-ish at art, but stopped doing it, now I'm shit



                                    :-(

[Jim_MacLaine]

That's very good Neville. Trelic tower I'm guessing.

[Neville Chamberlain]

Thanks, chaps! Yes, the Trellick Tower it is. In front of it is a car park, I think from Portsmouth's now demolished Tricorn centre. I'm planning on doing a big picture of a brutalist cityscape 'collage' at some point!

[Jumble Cashback]

It's about time someone did one.

[Neville Chamberlain]

Well, quite! I don't think there's a single person on the planet who's ever done such a thing!

[alan nagsworth]

Bloody great work Nev, is there anything you can't do, you big dreamboat?

*ker-swoon*

[dozybugcarrot]

Neville's picture is very soothing, is great.
I drew a Drosophila and accidentally made it look a bit cute.

[alan nagsworth]

Inspired in part by Doc's alphabet of robots.

Posted this ages ago but here it is again

[Neville Chamberlain]

Marvellous pics, very inspiring.

I wish I could draw stuff with curved lines in it :o(

[Jumble Cashback]

Here's one fresh from Cartoon Corner (in case you missed it there).

Will you draw me? (Rose DeWitt Bukater-style)

[Harpo Speaks]

Some nice work here. I should get back into drawing, I was never that good but it always felt quite natural to me.

I'm in the process of scanning in a load of cartoon bits and pieces/scrappy sketches and doodles at the moment - what do you folks recommend as ideal scanner settings? I've found it can alter the line quality of a drawing quite drastically depending on what you choose.

[Jumble Cashback]

Well, with mine I scan it in as a a b/w document, at 600 dpi with the lightness pushed up to 75.  It's different for every scanner though.  And that's only if you want your stuff as a purely black and white image, with no grey tones.

I misspent a few lectures last year cobbling together this drawing of a bit from Skyfall -

[Harpo Speaks]

An attempt at Hislop:

[Black Ship]

Looks more like Bulk from "Superted"

[the psyche intangible]

Ok pen, I get it now. Now what do I do?

[DocDaneeka]

Yup still drawing robots, K is for Kryten:

N is for NEPTR (from Adventure Time):

P is for Pris (from Blade Runner):

[Goldentony]

Great thread! I've yet to contribute, for some reason. Here's one I finished last night

[DocDaneeka]

Nice! Did you use your Dip pen with that? How do you like it?

[Goldentony]

Nah that's all Pigma Micron except for the border which is a brush pen. I haven't used the dip pen much outside of practicing with it yet but i'm really enjoying using it. I've been fannying about with the ink more than the pen itself. I've been preferring the hunt nib for lettering over anything else i've got, though.

This made more use of the ink -
