Oh right, and the bike too... - kylerk, on 05/12/2008, -0/+13I recognize the time and patients that a project like this involves, but that doesn't make this good art. And this method of drawing does not even begin to teach good art making. I am assuming that this was drawn from a photograph, which is fairly obvious. This method of drawing provides little help in developing drawing skill. A 2d images is being recognized by you eyes as a 2d image and directly translated into a 2d image on the page. When you work from real life, you see a 3d image, which is recognized in your eye as a 2d image, which your mind reads as a 3d image, which you then translate again into a 2d imaeg on the page. This type of flow from real life to the page will develop drawing skills to a much higher degree, until you reach a point that drawing become much more interesting since you can drawing anything from any perspective, not simply the one described by a picture.
Also, when drawing, it is generally good to always be working over the entire drawing at all times. If an artist focuses on the detail immediately, they will complete miss the overall look of the image, which will most likely lead to bad composition, or a generally bland drawing with no focal points. Most of my drawing teachers have said that it is always good to be ready to leave the drawing at any time. If you are 5 minutes in, it should still look like a suitable drawing even if it doesn't match what you might have originally intended.
I finally, I think it is fairly obvious that the imagery lacks any important concepts that actually are meaningful to anyone (except possibly us diggers, we sure love anything with machines and chics).- arcooke, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1I agree.. I went to his site and looked around, and it seems that everything he draws, is an exact replica of a reference photo.. down to the very last pixel of detail. That's not to say he doesn't do good work, I just don't see any real "art" in making an exact copy of a photograph.
Here's the final picture of the bike btw: http://drawing-studio.net/movies/big/chopperdrawin ... - Stepoo, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1Patience.

Did this at the zoo, took 3 or 4 minutes. There is more if you look around the albums.

- Diggelichous, on 05/12/2008, -0/+3Hi Kylerk
I’m the one who drew this drawing. The video was only for entertainment and fun. It’s not supposed to be instructional as its 15 hours compressed down to 2 minutes :) But I see your point about not being “good art” (what is the definition of good art?!) because I had a picture as a reference. But would it have been art if I took the picture myself and maybe added a different background? Anyway, I enjoyed reading your comment and I agree with you on most of your point of views.- kylerk, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1I recognize this video isn't specifically one of your instructional videos, but after looking at some of your other videos and tutorials, I still believe that these sort of instructions are not what people who are trying to learn how to drawn should be learning from. Drawing is a much broader skill then simply learning to copy. It would take quite a larger platform than a digg comment to explain, though one thing that could start in helping to understand what I means is when I say that when you are learning to draw, you should actually be learning to see. This lesson of learning to see is easily lost when working from photographs.
As for what is good art, that can't be simply answered. It has to do with what you like, what has come before in art history, how innovative it is, how technically skilled it is, how conceptually strong it is, and many other factors. I'd say that your work is really strong technically, which does help in raising how I see it as art. The reason I really posted a comment in this thread is to express an opinion that was contrary to all of the praise that this work was regenerating. I think the digg community is very inexperienced when it comes to judging art.
As for suggestions of what you could do with what you already are doing. I would say that since you are actually making animations, and not drawings, maybe go with that. The way in which your drawings appear could go along way to telling stories, or possibly directly syncing with music or sounds. You seem to have a very good setup for capturing images, I think you could run with that for a while.
And just try different things and see what works and what you like. Maybe mix up the media. Use some pen, ink, charcoal, conte. Also try some different sizes. I enjoy working much larger sometimes.
I am happy that there is somebody dedicated to what they like doing.

- mcm020, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1I finally, I think your grammar needs work.

- borez, on 05/12/2008, -0/+2He could have drawn the bird without the camel toe though
- BlackVincent, on 05/12/2008, -0/+2very awesome. Bummer it was a harley custom.
- Monkeydew06, on 05/12/2008, -0/+3I no longer consider myself an artist.
- SnikendeTiger, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1then we are 2... crap
- Tepes668, on 05/12/2008, -0/+2Either he did this over the period of a couple of days, or there are multiple attempts at drawing the bike seeing as his shirt changes from black to green and then back to black again (appears to be the same black shirt in both beginning and end).
- Diggelichous, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1hehe your first idea is the correct one.. its done over a couple of days
- multikonto, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1draw me a boat!! sunseeker 120
