Ximen's (Pretty Horrid) Space Sketches

[Ximen_Benitez]

Here are some pretty bad sketches (my lovely drawing skillz, yeah?) I am really new to this pencil/paper scene thing, (I started today and found it fun). So I'm practicing (the wise words of Dop).

Here's my first two ever, and I apologize for the bad images, the scanner didn't work, so I used my camera, and adjusted the brightness and contrast so you can see it best.

Anyway, shield your eyes!

#1. Big ship/Flak Concept (First Space scene ever drawn)



#2. On the Bridge Concept (Second Ever)




Updated later, if I draw more. (Maybe a hobby coming up? That would be cool.. I want to get better at this.)

Comments? Suggestions? Where to improve first? Xing? What say you, the grand drawing master?

Nice drawing, maybe retrace it afterwords to have darker lines.

I suggest giving the sketches some color with crayons.

:lol::lol:

But really, she's right, ad some color and it'll be awesome!

Whenever I draw, I always pass over the lines with a black pen or trace a lot over the lines with a pencil. Otherwise, my scanner gives me a ghost image, which is only faintly visible.

Anyways, on topic, nice drawings. It's got a strong draft feel, but hey, practice makes perfect (like you already know:)). Space scenes are hard to draw, because there can be so many things going on at once, both in the foreground and the background.

Uhm yeah, sorry it wasnt actually meant as demotivation or offense... But its truth, I and most of people ot there, drawing, started by practicing like that... find an image, put it on monitor and try to redraw it:)It workd, and its the fast way to go:)After some time, it will go automaticaly, and theres the time to start your own art:)
