Author Topic: My first few tablet sketches. (Read 2160 times)

I got a tablet about a week or so ago, and I've been drawing with it a lot.
These are some of my better sketches. My style is a sketchy sort of thing, kind of like if I had drawn a sketch of the object and forgot to erase the sketch lines. I personally like it, but if you don't, well, that's just too bad.
So, tell me what you think.
Yes, I realize most of these are Portal related. I was on a Portal streak at the time.

First decent sketch. Before I realized that I can use layers to color.

Still not too complicated.

First shaded sketch.

More...(Cut off edge was because I ran into someone's drawing on iScribble, edited it out.)

Getting a little better with shading.

What I honestly believe to be my best work so far.

Was on the subject of strange guitars, so I drew this. First drawing without my sketchy style.

So, what do you think? Be honest, I want to know where to improve.

I want to know where to improve. Don't say style, because I like it and I'm not going to change it.

Did you miss that part? :/

Well I'm sorry dude but you're gonna have to drop that style. It makes you look unprofessional, careless and makes your drawings look like they've been drawn by a kid.
Sorry for the lack of words, I'm messed today, but yeah, drop the style.

You could work on it though and make the sketchy lines a bit thicker here and there to define shape and make it look more professional. Much like this:

But again, in the final product it is best to have solid lines.
