Got Art?

[High Elbows]

HOLY *&#^ that's amazing!! Now I feel bad about my mediocrity...

Thank you!

Don't feel "bad" about your creativity, or consider yourself mediocre. Whether its a drawing, a painting, or a bass line... make it your own, and make it SHINE!!

I would post pictures, but the file sizes are too large for mobile Talkbass
My hard case has got some stencils on it which i cut and sprayed myself, including:
Bane's mask (most recent)
2 'Eddie's (the Final Frontier and Matter Of Life And Death incarnations)
The Avenger's 'A'
A DeLorean (Back To The Future fan)
A Magikarp (my favourite Pokemon)
A Cauliflower with glasses (inside joke)
A bass clef
And finally, a logo from the Mighty Boosh (the face thing)

Each stencil has varying degrees of success, but I am proud of each of them. They give it 'mojo'!

That is very cool. 4 horsemen of the apocalypse?

Edit: @sneha's work of the giant horses

 

[SJLee]

Thank you. You are correct.

Here is something I've been doodling for the last couple days. It's pretty rough, I've just had the pad sitting on the counter and when I pass by I add a little to it. I have many more sketches but I just can't seem to find my sketchbook

These are not photographs. They were drawn using ball point pens.

From the artist, VianaArts ( or =VianaArts on deviant art )

FAQ: Due to hundreds of questions and my lack of time to answer them all here are the answers for the most frequently asked:

Q:How many colors do you have and what pens are these?
A: I have 8 colored Bic ballpoint pens, they are just common everyday ballpoint pens.
Q: Where do you get them? I have never seen them.
A: Staples, Ebay, Amazon, and pretty much any good office supply store, just because you haven't noticed them before doesn't mean they don't exist.
Q: Do you use any other medium mixed with the ballpoint pens?
A: No, I just use ballpoint pens for these drawings. Everything is 100% ballpoint pen.
Q: How do you mix the colors? How do you blend them?
A: I don't mix them nor blend them. Ballpoint pen ink dries instantly and can not be erased. I just cross hatch the different colors in layers to create the illusion of blending and the illusion of colors I don't actually have.
Q: Are you a professional Artist?
A: No, I'm just a lawyer, art is just a hobby for me, although it takes from 5 to 50 hours to finish each drawing. I started drawing when I was 2.

Would you be willing to send me a template of this to print out? I can pay ya for it!

 

[SJLee]

Hey Funky, I don't know if these are your work or just someone's you admire. If they're yours, they're fantastic.

NOT me. I am most outstanding at stick figures ( I'm passably decent at drawing but as with anything it takes practice and I am a long time removed from doing anything meaningful with it ) I tried like crazy to get the real name of the artist but all I can find is the deviant art name. Sorry folks.

 

[Definitely]

To bring this back to life, here's one I'm working on, a modified Tales From Topographic Oceans cover, with enlarged letters and the Yes logo across in big letters, that will soon become a sort of window effect. The colours will be more vibrant and intense inside the logo, but more faded/pastel outside. This will be done in pencil crayon, but I have yet to figure out how to blend the right colour for the rocks, can anyone help?

It's actually Briggitte(sp?)Bardot, gun-girl is Faye Dunaway as Bonnie Parker in Bonnie & Clyde. I'll add some non-women stuff later.
