NewInBoston Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I want to say that beyond vector graphics for logos or prototypes for web pages, I could never draw more than a lopsided stick figure. Honestly, didn't even occur to me to try to draw anything more because I thought the results would be horrible based on past experiences. Well, I bought AD last week, practiced shapes and logos and found a few texture packs on these forums which I purchased and love. Then I somehow managed to make this. What I've drawn doesn't even compare to the talent I see around here, but it's a big step for me as an artist/designer. I just want you guys to know, I don't draw things. I design, but I don't draw. Designer was the conduit that let me see that I can. Thanks for that. I started with the flat vector rhino in the diorama.

jer Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Well, guess what! You're a drawer now! That is an impressive jump from stick figuring! AD is a great tool, right? :) NewInBoston 1 Quote ♥ WIN 10 AD & AP ♥ Lenovo Legion Y520 15.6" Laptop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobsDaubs Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 WOW!!! I'm very impressed. I would never have dreamed of taking a silhouette picture and turning it into the kind of detailed drawing that you created. Thanks for posting it and the inspiration you have given me.

I would never have dreamed of taking a silhouette picture and turning it into the kind of detailed drawing that you created. Thanks for posting it and the inspiration you have given me. I didn't either! I loaded up a shape just to practice shading. The brush setting I used had a very gradual (forgiving) nozzle setting, so it was a very slow application of color which allowed me to just worry about the colors and not drowning an area in color. I loaded up a picture on google as reference for the folds of skin. It was fun, and took me a while. 10 / 10, will draw rhino again :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digiart350 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 This is very impressive work! Great idea to start with the silhouette too. I love the mood of the darker rhino's face and the detail is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
