thats better now, :D.

only other thing is that the composition would probably be better with him on the right, he is facing towards the edge of the pic so it draws your eye that way witch isnt a good thing.

EDIT:

im just messing around with composition here for ya Posted Image

Looking good so far Muzzoid :D

One thing may be his tie, it looks more like red string or rope, maybe broaden it out at the end a bit?

Good stuff, keep it up. :bing:

Just for the hell of it, I printed this off at school and showed it to my art teacher. I'm probably not the best art student, and the things I churn out are usually just par.
But he was pretty amazed when he saw this :D
I appreciate your composition suggestion. It really does work, but her are two reasons I want to keep it cropped like this: He is looking the other way, so I think it brings your eye towards the space on the right. Also, my art teacher said the composition was "great," and he's the one that I'm really trying to impress now. :P

Thanks a-plenty for your suggestions. :)

man, i thing you have to sit down and study perspective a bit, everything in those sketches has a different perspective.

for something like this you would probably want some 3 point perspective, im sure that you have done some technical drawing at school? if you have you should know about vanishing points and so on, you don't need to draw the guide lines as such, just make sure that you take note of where these points are and draw the buildings accordingly.

EDIT: heres a 5 sec example of 2 point perspective.

scarrabee, you're awesome at making those castle models. I think I'll make a model of a castle I drew a couple of years ago.

Posted Image
[This is a copy of the first drawing. The first one got destroyed.]

The castle is in the middle of a city so I think I'll just do the building, and not as your models of the whole yard and stuff.

I'll post "blueprints" if I find them... and I relized that I haven't drawn all the floors yet. Later I will make a flash game of the castle so you can walk around in it, and it will be the first building I've made :D

Edits edits... :rolleyes:

Tinsterr,
To me its seams like the castle will be posible to make.
but do you have any idd of the scale you'll make it?
PS: you won't be able to make it all out of paper (flagsticks are to hard)

scarrabee, you say that those drawings are just sketches, but the only way to improve is to practice every time you draw something, no you don't have to draw in the perspective lines but just take note of them, it makes a picture so much easier to understand as well. 5 seconds of thought before a picture can make it a lot better.

I actually enjoyed the first picture more. It didn't have the perspective right, but it did look very good.

It wouldn't hurt to learn how real perspective works though.

good idee but that matthers less now,
the most importand thing for me now is to ged a correct img how it would look (drawn in my styl) so that I can build it later on

maby I'll make a realy correct img (so more in the styl of the 1st one but the problem there is that I acualy don't now how to draw real perspective :P)
(but I'll learn that someday, anybody got knows a good cursus?)

Why do you keep hounding him on perspective? He's just seeing what he likes for when he makes the actual building. There is no rule that says he needs do that according to any perspective.

Maybe you have heard of the cubist movement where they produced a concept by showing a subject at every angle all the time. One such artist who produced those works was a little known man named Picasso. I also like how this whole forum has taken naturalistic tendacies, Have all of you lost any ability to portray the purely abstract? No one NEEDS to learn lifelike anatomy. No one NEEDS to learn realistic perspective, thats just a preconception that all good art is life-like art.

You're absolutely right. No one needs to.

But it sure does help.

As visual artists, we initially rely on observation of the world around us in order to put things down on canvas, paper or screen. If your art wasn't based upon a subject from life, how would anyone be able to understand it or know what it was? Practicing and studying subjects like anatomy, still-life, and perspective will only sharpen your ability to communicate through your artwork.

It is evident from his gallery that Picasso did his fair share of naturalistic pieces, and I believe that many of his non-naturalistic his works were based upon a solid understanding of the principles of drawing. If cubist artists portrayed subjects from every angle, they would've first had to learn HOW draw their subjects from different angles. You've got to know the ropes in order to 'break them' properly.

In my opinion, knowledge of how to draw things in a naturalistic fashion will only yield a clearer, more enunciated piece of art.

After all, what is art if it isn't a communication or expression? (let's not go there. ;))

i agree with akpaintslinger, Piccaso wasn't making them out of ignorance to perspective without knowledge of them, ignorance to life will make your drawings suffer.

another thing is that Scarrabee isn't trying to do abstract art so that argument doesn't really apply there. i was actually going to drop it after posting that tut anyway.
