a drawing I made
(lemmy.world)
Totally!
That's sick! How long did it take to draw this? And what was the hardest part to draw?
Thanks a lot! Around 40 hours. I don't really find anything hard about drawing anymore. But I would say the most challenging for me is drawing human anatomy and getting the limb proportions right.
Damn you're good, thanks for sharing and for inspiring!
Thanks a ton! You're too kind.
That's so cool! Graphite on paper?
Thank you! Yes, you are correct.
Dang. How do you get the blacks to be so dark? And how do you light the drawing for photography? Whenever I take pictures there's always a reflection in some dark area that I can't get rid of unless I'm at very weird angle.
I work in layers to build up the depth. HB to 8B helps build up the darkness. I take photos next to my balcony door with natural light coming in through the windows. I also get that glare when I take pics with interior lighting.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Your detail is on another level! Do you have stories for your art?
Thank you so much! I love packing in the details and creating world building elements. In the background you can actually see another house is being attacked as well. I was just inspired by H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds and wanted to draw my own spin on the alien invasion fantasy.
Woah 😍
Thanks a ton!
This is incredible
Thanks a lot! I appreciate it.

Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.
