A 666 Rocket. There is no reason to draw this, I have just done it and I liked it.

2 small scenes. One corresponds to a medieval construction on top of the wall, and the other a modern house with a tin roof in the middle of the field.

Usually this is what I do when I'm bored. I draw anything and occupy every white space on the sheet. I practice drawing and I also practice my delusions.

This is really good work! You should continue to express yourself through drawing.

Nice work!

I've used hand-drawn sketches for some games - the close-ups in fashionista, as well as most graphics in food chain farm. I've developed a process where I start by sketching, then scan, and then trace the sketch in Inkscape. (Examples here and here). In other games, I did pixel art, or outsourced the artwork completely.

The last years I'm also taking drawing classes now, with live models, and I believe it has improved my art quite a bit. I found this was a really good way to develop my drawing skill further.

Here is a recent drawing from drawing class.

Thank you very much for your comments!

Good to know that I draw well. Although I personally feel that I still need to keep the talent firmly in my hands.
I always think that the best way to practice it is to create a Visual Novel, no matter what your current talent is, you can get better drawings the more you do.

These days I was thinking about my drawings and how I should publish them. If I ever manage to finish the maze game, maybe I should continue with a Visual Novel. The visual novel is always better because it allows you to cover both areas (drawing and writing) without losing any detail as occurs between adaptations of comics, manga and written novels, so i should definitely go for the visual novel.

I only need PR, but I leave that to Edgar Reynaldo who knows more about the subject.

@Amarillion :
This more or less, although without previous drawings I cannot see your progress. It's okay to keep practicing, the sketches help the imagination a lot, but over time you need to refine the lines to fit the imagination or desired drawing. I only recommend you not to throw your drawings on the grass.
Are you also shooting with a photo camera? It's very definite.

PR

Public Relations?

I don't draw much but I have been 3D printing and painting
I have more but apparently I can attach only 3 images in a post

If that third one doesn't give you ideas you aren't trying very hard.

A nice collection of artworks in this thread here! About twenty years ago I enjoyed drawing comics. Today I rather spend some of my free time in painting D&D miniatures.

I like the idea! This thread should be 200 pages of art.

@Kevin Adrian :
Can you tell me more about the comic?

Mine was a fantasy comic where I told stories placed in my self-designed campaign setting with influences from games like Ultima 1-5, Gargoyle's Quest and tabletop games like the classic D&D as well as the German "Das Schwarze Auge" (The Black Eye). Most of these pictured stories told about a medieval village located somewhere in the Mortal World which is a creation of the Council of Worlds after a terrible war between the High Mankind (noble denizens of the light, warm Realm of Westphalia) and the Low Mankind (beastlike denizens of the dark, cold world Gar. According the the world's name, its inhabitants are also known as Gargoyles). The Council was lead by the highest god Sidar the Eternal.

The Mortal World is the place where the light and warmth of Westphalia and the darkness and coldness of Gar are kept in an eternal balance. That's why in this world a permanent change between day and night as well as summer and winter exist.

Apart from that, the dark denizes of Gar are still seeking for vengeance on the hated High Mankind and so each story of the comic began with a new attempt of the Gargoyles to conquer the Mortal World in order to shift the balances of power to their advantage and lead all Worlds into a new cataclysm. Which - of course - was always prevented by a hero or group of heroes who was/were a different one in each story.

I stopped drawing comics when I was 18 years old. Since then my interests are painting miniatures and programming computer games. But my current Allegro project is a computer game implementation of those comics.

Woah guys these are cool!

Steve Terry, those are rad! What are you using to print those? Do you have to do a lot of post-work like sanding or whatever?

Yeah, but you should know the context. This was a social-distanced open-air drawing class. (I'm the guy with the red shirt)

I agree, bring it on!

@amarillion :
Nice place, although knowing me, I would have drawn the house instead and not the girl. Surely more than one would be frustrated with my way of doing things. xD

I have a CR10-S4 and use vallejo paints. So far I have done Skeletor, He-Man, TMNT - Michaelangelo, Storm, Johnny 5 - Added electronics so he talks, Aquaman, Terminator, Alien, Groot, Sonic the Hedgehog, and in progress is Thanos.

Post work yes, lots and lots of primer and sanding, wet sanding, and modeling clay (to close gaps).

You'd be in good company though. The place is the "Genneper Watermolen", and was also painted by van Gogh (Nowadays it's hard to see anything that you can recognize on the paintings, oh well)

But the site is accessible for free, whereas you have to pay a fee for the model. So it makes more financial sense to draw the model and not the site...

@amarillion :
Is it a place where models make a living by posing?

No it's just a convenient outside location. The drawing course I follow hires models occasionally, but I don't think it's anything more than a side-job for them.

I have not come up with an image to post. I am going to ask for commissions of 300 euros minimum.

(Maybe that way I can post images more often.)

Maybe we just need to give you ideas for what to sketch?

Anyway, here are a few old & new sketches for food chain farm.

I always get ideas from nature. This is a walk I took on Sunday through an autumn forest. And I saw trees and maple leaves and asters and goldenrods and ferns!

I'm pretty sure that your wife is slipping you cannabis, Elias. That looks pretty stoned.

It's what it really looked like, here's proof, all taken during said walk:
