My Drawings
 

I felt bad that I posted these on another thread (thread jacked) (although it was under SS's supervision LOL), so here are some drawings I have made in the past.

1- Beast from Beauty and the beast:

7- Where I proposed to my wife:

OK, that's enough for now. I have a bunch of Corvette too, but those are the better ones on this disk. I have several others on my wall here at the house, but not on disk.

For some reason the links aren't working though.

Re: My Drawings
 

Something didn't work when you moved them. It says page cannot be found.

Edit: You already figured that out though.

Thank you.
Shame I couldn't get on with Disney or Dreamworks...or Pixar. I only tried once and they all wanted computer programming, which I don't have. I jujst have raw skill and creativity. Guess that's not enough now-a-days. I never even got a call back.

Re: My Drawings
 

Is it possible for me to set up one of my drawings as an avatar?

Re: My Drawings
 

Wow, that is some really GOOD stuff!

To be honest your pictures are really good but it is not Disney level stuff. I went to school in Providence and I use to sneak over and look at the work of the students at RISD ( RI School of Design), they had some incrediable stuff going on! According to a couple of them it is really hard to draw for Disney. Very few get selected.

Have you ever thought about drawing for a local paper?

Re: My Drawings
 

Good stuff, J. The Santa drawing is my favorite.

Re: My Drawings
 

You didn't propose to your wife at Pemaquid point up in Maine did you?

It looks familiar to me... but I'm sure lights of light houses look like that.

Very impressive.
I wish I had your talent.

That's some good stuff. I like how they're very detailed.

No, it was Gloucester, MA.
That lighthouse is actually owned by the coast guard. You might remember it from "A Perfect Storm". It's a GREAT area. Where that lighthouse is, is actually on a private area of Gloucester, but no one knows who "really" lives in the area, so if you drive a nice vehicle, no one will stop you from going in and viewing the multi million dollar homes. In fact, I went there so often that the "locals" thought I did live there. HAHA.

[QUOTE=GhettoDogAllStars;352414]Good stuff, J. The Santa drawing is my favorite.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I like that one too...but my favorite is the Beast. The reason why is cause it was the first / only drawing I have ever made that was perfect. Flawless. Every other drawing there are some mistakes, albeit small mistakes, but I know where they are. Beast is flawless.

Incredible!!! Have you done Redskins? Do you sell your works?

Re: My Drawings
 

[QUOTE=Skinsfan1967;353814]Incredible!!! Have you done Redskins? Do you sell your works?[/QUOTE]

I actually did a Gary Clark catching a ball over Deion Sanders in the endzone at RFK stadium...that took me about 10 hours to do, and I kid you not, some guy spilt coke all over it and ruined it. I was PISSED, but it was an accident.
Oddly enough, I haven't done a whole lot of Skins over the years, and I don't know why. Maybe I should get back to doing that.

I could not sell any Redskins because that would be against the law. I do not have rights to replicate or sell their images. I only have the right to make it for my own personal use. I would have to get permission from the NFL and NFLPA to draw a redskins player and use the redskins logo.

Re: My Drawings
 

Nice drawings jsarno the Santa and Doug Flutie are great. My Dad is an artist for Disney an a few other studios but 85% of the work he does is for Disney. Try not to get discouraged about Disney not responding you have skill. My Dad always say's that becoming a good artist takes a lot of practice. It's not just something you’re born with. The more you draw the better you will get and one day you might get the opportunity to make a good living doing something you love. Here are a few of my personal favorites my Dad has done.

Thanks,I only wish I had it too. You and my Dad both draw way better then I can.:hater:

lol...it's all about the practice.
When I was young, I could draw anything, but my shading sucked. The older I got the better the my shading got, and many people have told me that I have the best shading they have ever seen. It's all about the practice, and a keen eye to notice things.

Re: My Drawings
 

I was one of the best artists in my class until about 7th grade when I pretty much stopped drawing. Except for an art class I took in college because I thought it would be an easy A. (I ended up with a B after doing a lot of extra credit.):pffff: My biggest problem growing up was having the patience. I remember building models with my dad as a kid and wanting to finish the whole thing before I went to bed. Where as my Dad would spend the whole afternoon just sanding the model down and detailing the cockpit. Needless to say you could have put my Dad’s models in a museum where mine were better suited for sitting atop of an M80. Witch is sadly what ended up happening to them on more then on occasion.
Drawing just wasn’t in the cards for me. But I defiantly have done enough of it to appreciate the talent of someone like you who can.

LOL...yeah...impatience is not good for an artist.

I have been trying to convince my wife to give me one of the bed rooms to turn into a mini city. I want to build buildings, and mountains, and take my hot wheels cars and use them as the scale models. She won't let me, but I am considering taking over part of the garage for it.

Sound’s like fun. You could make one of the town where you live like in Beetlejucie. ;)
My Dad has a huge collection of Lionel trains and accessories. As a kid we would always run them on the floor of the living room. Growing up we were always going to build a layout like the ones we would see down in San Diego at this train museum in Griffith park. But my Mom would never let it happen. She actually wanted to park her car in the garage.(Can you believe the nerve.) So anyway last year I talked my girlfriend into letting us put a layout out in our garage. It's still a work in progress but it is coming along. We finally got the down town to light up witch makes it fun to run in the dark. Some nights I'll just kick back in the garage with a few cold ones and play with the trains. It's actually kind of fun and quite relaxing.

See, that's exactly what I want to do. I want to run a couple trains through it too.
I actually thought about building a shed in the back yard for that sole purpose. But I don't have enough room to make it worth while.

Re: My Drawings
 

Some day I hope you’re able to. It's a fun hobby with an endless amount of landscapes to make with it. As you know you just need a space.

I actually drew a small scale city that I wanted to build and was planning to put a running river through it.

What material would you use for the basic landscape? Molded styrofome?

If you’re going to be using water that's a good question I've never seen anyone try that. Chicken wire and paper mashie work well in dry areas. There are some good books on the subject you might want to read.[url=http://www.amazon.com/Build-Better-Toy-Train-Layout/dp/0897784790/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_b/002-4395134-7356858]Amazon.com: Build a Better Toy Train Layout: Books: John Grams,Dick Christianson[/url]

I think I'm going to buy that! Great link! Thanks.

I got my wife to agree to letting me have the garage to do this!!! hehe.

Re: My Drawings
 

Geez, Js, what a talent!!

I have have only met one person who could even come close to drawing that good (and you're still way better)

Props!

Re: My Drawings
 

It would be nice to see a mean Ronnie Van Zant! Just a thought from the SOUTH....not bad.

Thank you.
With the exception of Thomas Kinkade, all the artwork in my house is mine. (I forgot I have a couple Kinkade's in the bedroom...it's the "theme". I even have the border was thomas kinkade...and a throw.)

Re: My Drawings
 

Very nice work jsarno. I couldn't draw that stuff if I went to school until I was 90.
