Trash Man's Latest Music and Artwork (Updated September 6)

[Trash Man]

Everyone has a favorite subject. Mine happens to be Midna. I just like the overall character design. Before Midna, it was Link and Ruto. And before them, it was Samus. I should draw Samus again someday.

Also, I tend to like to draw women a lot more than I do men, but every now and then I draw a man of some kind, usually a joke thing though. I also often like to draw with a really crazy idea like the Link riding Midna for example. I try to be funny at least half the time in my drawings.

Oh, Cool.
I really like your music. I havent been through much of them, but from the ones ive heard so far they're really cool.
Hope to see more art and music from you in the future.
Also, Ever thought of uploading your art and music to newgrounds? I'd say it'd get more people into your art, But its up to you.

[Trash Man]

Yeah, I actually want to. It's just I kinda hate how cluttered and messy the website design and layout is. It's like overly fancy and it's kinda annoying to navigate the website. I'll probably rough it out though and maybe post my stuff on there in the future.

Personally, I don't like your heads because I think that they look ugly. An invaluable tool for art that I have found over the course of time is the concept art forums, particularly the tutorials section.

Alright, I'll keep that in mind.

That forum looks like it cold be really helpful since I'm planning on doing some "drawing real people looking art" to help me get to my goal of being a good animator.

I love 2d animation, I find it so artistic. Any old hand drawn cartoon is candy in my opinion.

Those tutorials are pretty nice. I really liked their head ones, as those are where I struggle the most. I don't think my problem is in shading, just understanding the shape itself. After looking at all of these, I can clearly see I was way off in my practice. I think I should continue drawing some more real people, both man and woman, and then try to focus on getting faces correct.

Thanks again for showing me that tutorial, it really shed some light on my problems with faces.

Edit: After looking at those creative faces thing. I decided to give it a shot and I think I liked the results. I just went crazy on shapes for the whole drawing actually, and it just seems better than trying to think and be technical about it. Tell me what you think. DO you think this is a step in the right direction? If you do, then I will finish this drawing. Keep in mind it's a very rough sketch, so things like the hands won't look right until I actually finished it. I mainly want to know if the face is better, and if the drawing just looks overall more meaningful than usual.

The drawing is completely made up.

I think that it is much better than your older princesses and drawings. The face looks great (maybe the chin is a bit too pointy in the sketch, but maybe thats what you want). Also, in my opinion, the ears seem to be too big to be feminine. Lastly, the hand on the right (her left hand) is too fat compared to the other one, and the wrinkles on her dress are odd, but as you said before its a rough sketch. (hehehe, maybe you could make her breasts bigger ;) )

I think that its a vast improvement in proportions and style. Nice job.

[Trash Man]

Yeah, it was only a rough sketch. I don't worry about fixing proportions until I do the linework, I just want a plan before I do linework. I just wanted to know if the face was better, and I don't think I'm going to finish the drawing.

That guide really showed me that what I was doing before was wrong, and that it's not supposed to be overly complex, otherwise it just isn't being free and it is being locked into a one way situation, thus taking away the life that it could have.

I think what I should do is mainly just practice on people's faces until they start to look right, as I seem to be doing just fine on shading and bodies as well as depth perception. Nobody is really complaining about any of that on my finished drawings of the latest stuff. I don't really know what I'll do, but I'll at least focus on the face more before I go and do the rest. I also need to work on scenery some, but for now I'll just have to get my faces down.

This is probably why my music is better than my artwork. Its just free will making it, and i don't have any real strict rules, which is the way it should be.

New drawing added.



Here I tried to just address my main issues, so it's just a really fast basic drawing here. I didn't plan anything out, I just drew until shapes became a face and body. I think this method worked a lot better than my other one. I also paid attention to line thickness this time around, and I think that also is why my faces looked bad before (stuff just was no where NEAR thick enough).

Let me know what you think. As always, all suggestions are considered.
