Russano's Art and Requests

[Leatho Shellhound]

Your drawings are really great! Thanks again for Muchlik!

[The Skarzs]

Well done!

[Russano the Wise]

Thanks, Skarz!

Thank you, Leatho. Glad you like him!

[The Skarzs]

So, I've been meaning to ask, and, no offense intended, but may I inquire as to why your drawings commonly seem very. . . stiff , and a bit unbalanced in their poses? They're very good, I'm just curious.

No offense taken. As to your question, I'm not sure I could provide a specific answer for it. It's not something I consciously make a decision to do. I am always looking for ways to improve my art, and if you have any comments on how I can make it better, then I will definitely take them into consideration.  

[The Skarzs]

Well, one thing you could do is look in a mirror, posing as what you want your drawing to be in, and go from there. (I've done it before; heck, I've even gotten my brother to be a model for a bit.) Another thing is to stay in proportion, like the legs always longer than the arms, the body stay 7-8 heads tall. (Rambling. . . Sorry, the art class I took is coming back to me )

[Russano the Wise]

Actually I have done the posing in front of a mirror before to decide what position I want the character I'm drawing to be in. Proportion is something I struggle with sometimes, so I'll continue to work to improve that. Thanks for your comments!

Wow those are great! *glances at cartoon pictures I drew today* I suck. 

[Russano the Wise]

Thanks, Rachel!

Since I don't have any requests at the moment, I've been working on some of the other types of art I enjoy. This is a rock painting of African violets that my Dad commissioned me to do as a Christmas present for someone. I included a pen in the picture for scale.

Awesome! The detail is spot on! You have done other rock paintings before right?

[Russano the Wise]

Yes, I have done many before. I know I've posted pictures of some before; they're buried somewhere in this thread. This is the first rock painting I've done in a while though.
