Simon Gallup of the Cure 1981

Postby ~Pogo~ » Sat Sep 14, 2013 4:29 pm

I normally don't like drawing from photos, but I saw this awesome picture of the Cure from '81 and I was like "Oh! Let's draw Simon!"
My enthusiasm wore off by the time I actually started the piece. I had forgotten how frustrating it is to draw from a photo. I understand that you have got to keep at that sort of thing, but it's just not really for me. I have great respect for those with the patience and eye for detail who can do photo/hyper realism. Incidentally, I gave up trying to make this look like the photo and went in my own direction with lighting, background, color,and style. I still like this drawing even though I didn't follow through with what exactly I had in mind. Hey, I never do.

This is gorgeous. You seriously have no idea. And I don't even listen to The Cure.

I personally prefer drawings/ paintings that aren't fully photo-realistic anyway. What's the point of drawing if you're just going to make it look like a photo? Just use a camera. Ha.
Image Indomita is a wild horse simulation game. You can create your own horse characters and guide them on their journies through the island chain of Paradisus. Lead your characters through their lives and experience the triumphs and failures they may face. Help them to become the best possible version of themselves whether that is as a brave explorer who makes useful and exciting discoveries for the herd. Or maybe as a silver-tongued diplomat who use their special set of skills to take what they want. The opportunities are endless!
