HELLO JUST WANTED 2 SAY THAT UR PICS R INCREDIBLY FANTASTIC I LUV THEM ALL ♥ UR SUCH AN AMAZING ARTIST & I LOOK FORWARD 2 C IN MORE OF OR ART ~DARKSAPPHIRE
Thanks so much for your help. Those are some damn good reasons to start drawing large and getting used to it. After looking through my artworks, I noticed some of the things you mentioned. And the pixilation ordeal was a mystery to me until now. xD Oh man.. I can't wait to get started on this request now!
Working large accomplished a few different things. The first to come to mind is that it forces the artist to use the entire page, else risk a piece looking incomplete or as if its missing something. You will notice on most of my works that my objects usually run off the more then one edge of the picture. This gives the impression that the work goes beyond the border of the canvas and gives a better overall realistic feel to the work. Dont be restrained by the four corners of the page :D
Another good thing about working big that comes to mind deals with resizing work once its scanned into your computer. Small works enlarged in photoshop lose detail and gain pixelation. A large detailed work shrunk down to say, the box of a manga page, will in fact look even more detailed then its sometimes possible to be with a pencil. So even though you can get detailed by drawing small initially, its easier to have that initial picture big so you could do many things with it :)
Drawing on a small canvas is by no means a bad thing. Sometimes is easier such as when your travelling, or in a boring lecture -_- But I assure you if you train yourself to work large your smaller works will get better and better :D

Ah nice work! It's nice to see another person in my age group on here ^_^ I also started cging for the first time myself recently... I'll be sure to check out your work and see your progress. Feel free to message me anytime!

Ahh... thank you very much for your detailed reply. One-liners aren't very nice. A big massive sketchbook that is! I also carry one of the smaller travel sized brands. What was the reason that your instructor drilled this "Go Big or Nothin'" habit into your head? You did mention detail but is that it? I do see how that helps.. Hmm.. If you were to draw in a small sketchbook, your drawings would be exceedingly accurate. :]
Howdy and thank you for your support ^_^ I've always had good hand-eye cordination, and can draw just about anything that i have a reference for. Unfortuntely I've yet to be able to apply this to creating my own original art. They tend to come out favoring other artist's works that I admire :( . Between work and other obligations I don't really think I've given it enough effort yet, and hopefully will in the future.
As far as my technique goes, most my pictures start with my pencil set and my large sketchbook. And I put alot behind the word large! One of my favorite art instructors drilled working large into my head, and once you get it down it helps alot of the quality of the work. I see alot of my friends carrying the small 8 x 10 sketchbooks, then I pull out my 14 x 17 book and smile. You can get so much more detail when working big.
As you can see from my most current pieces I'm beginnning to enjoy working with photoshop more and more, especially the pen tool. You can get beautiful arcs and varying line thicknesses using it when inking a piece. And playing with the various layering techniques and throwing in a filter every once in awhile gets me pleasing results. But Photoshop is such a massive program that I still consider myself a novice at it, so the more I use it the better my techniques and new effects will get(I hope!)
Anyway this is getting too long, so thanks again and I'll post as I put out more works. :D
Yez.. I remember your art. I knew there was somebody who was exceptionally well with Bleach artworks. Though I thought that you were a member for a much longer time. With such good submissions in your arsenal, I'm surprised you don't have more credits given to you in your Guestbook. :O
In anycase, keep 'em comin'. I'm keeping an eye on you for a reason. Hopefully I can learn something. And if it's not to much trouble, would you mind leaking how the heck you learned to manifest another artist's style like that? Your eye-hand coordination must be brolic in order for you to do that. Are you smokin' something special because I want some~! xD (But no really, what do you do to sharpen your skills? :])
