Randall, I knew you were talented, but that is amazing....all I can say is wow, I wish I had a skill like that.

Yup. I was bored today, since my damn cable connection kept screwing up and wouldn't let any of us online. So I decided to sit down and sketch with an old fashioned ball-point pen (Bic) and paper.<br><br><br><br>It's been a while since I have sketched, and it is remarkably relaxing.<br><br>

hmmm, appears my image is a bit too big for the formatting.<br><br>Matt, you are fast. I JUST posted this.

hehe, I sat there staring at it for two minutes after I posted. Its like a lifeform, with a mechanical suit. Its VERY creative, and cool.

Ya know, you should take a bunch of your drawings, and turn them into t-shirts.

That really looks like it's drawn with a pencil, not a Bic pen.  How did you get it to look like that?

lots of practice. I hate pencil, because it smears too easily, and the image tends to fade after a while.<br><br>So I very lightly "brush" the pen across the surface of the paper in a cross-hatch pattern. In this picture, you can really see the lines of the pen.<br><br>Dunno what kind of T-shirt this would be appropriate for. I have done other T-shirt design though. Its kind of a cheesy market if you ask me.

I have seen kids in my school wearing around shirts with cartoons/drawings on them, and it just reminded me of this, except yours has alot more detail and creativity.

You are fast Matt! You replied 9 seconds before Randall even posted his picture!<br><br>Cool drawing. Could you animate something like that?<br><br>Dan East

Cool, looks like Guss got an android brother, huh?

Randall, that's awesome. My congratulations. I admire that kind of gift. I have so many ideas, but when I sit down to put them on paper I get ashamed of what comes out.<br>I really like mechs and stuff (have lots of wallpapers with that theme). Do you have any drawings with mechs/suits of armor?

All I can say is....that is fat......you got some skillz bro.

wow, niftay<br><br>how long did that take to draw???

a couple hours, that included the non-existent preliminary drawing. One thing I should note about drawing in pen - it doesn't allow you to make mistakes. There is no way to erase pen, so you better have it all planned out in your head first.<br><br>My ISP was only down for a little while, and this is the result.
