so i'll have some of my stuff on tomorrow, also would people be able to post their own drawings, as i love seeing what other people do.

**nickmund**

the problem with my drawings is that they are all unfinished i end up having another idea and starting that mid way through the other drawing im currently doing an oil painting of the inquisitor on my avatar im just experimenting tho because ive never used oils before theyre a bloody niusance for some reason i thought i could thin the paint down with water

**Dark**

Guess I'll dare to post some of my drawings here then.

**nickmund**

awsome bit of a space wolves nut i see third one down is cool i like the movement that techmarine rocks too it almost reminds me of the early 40k art

**grob the immortal grot**

Awesome stuff Dark! What medium do you use? I like your faces a lot!

And as for nickmund, I next to never finish a drawing.

**Dark**

Thanks a lot.

I sketch with an HB mechanical pencil and ink my lines with a drip pen and sometimes also with a brush. When it comes to colours I use either markers or Photoshop.

**nickmund**

i used a hb pencil for my inquisitor and just smudged the pencil lines a bit

Am I doing it right?

i dont understand why my pictures look so pixely when i post them here

**Ribon Fox**

It could be down to the scan rate, I tend to scan mine at stupidly hight DPI (like 1000 some times), once in digital form, chuck it into your prefered Image Editing programme and smoth it ot in there, ever by using Gerasan blur or the digital pixel removal tool. Then save as a Jpeg (i know it needn't be said but it is the best file for when your throwing it around the net).

**MagickalMemories**

It looks pixelated because that's the 'thumbnail.'

Click the image. It looks fine.

I have a sketch topic somewhere in the painting and modelling forum called "A Sketchy Topic" which a few people have taken to posting their own work (not that I mind).

i realy like that commissar on your thread its realy cool left a comment on there too

**grob the immortal grot**

god damn it i'm gonna have to take photos of my drawings, my scanners not working
*sigh

**nickmund**

damn. using the camera can work out ok tho i have to do it when i do a pic on a3 donthave thoes uploaded tho

**grob the immortal grot**

It sucks so bad, so fething bad.

**grob the immortal grot**

here are the photos god damn it.

**Dark**

That's a bloody nice Eldar you got there.

Also, you suffer from "good anatomy and proportions", thus the Burna looks quite like a hummie.

**nickmund**

ace that burner boy is cool the perspective on the gun is realy good
i like all the detail on the eldar too
i find eldar are one of the hardest races to draw

**grob the immortal grot**

That's the problem with biro. I can remember thinking oh crap the heads to small, he looks a bit human, and if you try to do anything to make it better you just ruin the piece.

I agree with you Nickmund, although I myself find spacey notoriously hard to draw, but thats just me.

**nickmund**

eldar vehicals are realy hard to draw too ever done any pics of battle fleet gothic?

**grob the immortal grot**

Ribon fox I missed your stuff, it looks great!

heres another drawing i did while in desperation(watching how to look good naked, this time the subject looked like mrs nurgle)
He is Brother Lectus

Please click on him cos the image is quite bad

Block colours, multiple lays and knowing how to short cut stuff

You did most of the hard work i just sort of did a paint by numers job on it then aplyed some fade colour soft light layers. Some times doing less helps it to look like more.

Oi, looks good, and the way you coloured it matches the style you used with the lines.

**yournamehere**

Know that this is just my opinion and I respect yours if it's different but I have a personal heavy distaste for anime warhammer. I don't have a problem with anime but I don't believe that it makes good bedfellows with 40k. Something about it making the mood of it far too light. Not bad work in here though.
